Hi, I'm CalamitySB (Because Calamity as always taken and it's nice to organize this way). I've lurked on this forum basically since the release of Smash 4, and finally decided it would be a good idea to make an account. While I might be a little late to discuss some of the more, interesting issues, hopefully there will still be plenty to talk about and I can avoid regretting my time lurking. (Is hating Bayonetta still cool? Knowing this community, probably.)



  • Who do you main in your Smash game(s) of choice? Why?
It depends on the game, time of day, and how irritated I am. Jokes aside, I can mesh with a variety of playstyles fairly well. Because of this, I tend to play most characters. I've probably labbed every character in SSB4 at least once. I have issues sticking to one character for long periods of time because of this, but I really don't mind, as I find it more fun and like gaining the match-up experience.
  • Why have you joined Smashboards? How did you hear about the site?
Honestly, mostly for the competitive discussion, with some casual fun stuff mixed in. When I find good forums I tend to become incredibly invested, so I'm hoping I can give this one a shot and see if it sticks. Plus, I have basically no one in my area with whom I can discuss anything related to competitive smash, so it'll be a good way to vent.
  • Do you attend tournaments? Do you want to?
The ones that I can. Where I live is very barren when it comes to tournament scenes for about a three hour distance around. I've looked around quite a bit, and still have my hopes up, but overall, I really can't without either a significant time or money investment, and as a college student, that's not the easiest thing to do.
Yes, I really want to attend more tournaments. I'm trying to start a scene at my local college, but it's mostly casual. I should be able to start one up next year though, so I'm looking forward to that.
  • Talk about your interests outside of Smash Bros.! Anime, sports, other games, etc.
The time I could go into this would honestly be too much for both myself and the board, so I'll keep it simple. I have a ton of interests that tend to change with my mood, but most tend to be along the creative side. Art, Animation, Writing, Game Design, Music, etc. I, as pretty obviously shown by my Avatar, have a strong interest in Anime, Cartoons, and most types of Film. Currently I'm bashing my head through Dark Souls III, which so far is fairly difficult, but that's what I get for going with a hard build.
  • What other communities are you a part of? Clubs at school, other forums?
None really worth listing, though I am apart of a Scholar Club and soon an Honor Society at my local college. On the internet, I am mostly a lurker. I typically browse through Reddit (/r/smashbros is one of my favorites, so many characters, along with /r/crazyhand and whatever subreddit catches my eye.), GameFAQs (One of the most grating and stupid forums online, and I love it. Sometimes I need a bit of stupidity in my life.), and well, Smashboards.
I used to be a fairly active member on Minecraft Forum back when the off-topic forum was more fun. But that dissipated a long time ago. Now, I tend to bounce around the internet.

Anyways, after spending way too much time on this post. It's time to see where this forum takes me, if it does at all. The rules have been read, the account has been mostly formatted, there's nothing else I can do beside make a reputation for taking 30 minutes on each of my posts.
