Is there one move, sequence of moves, or specific tactic that you think other PTs should be doing more?
Abuse shorthop nair with Charizard. Most people don't realize it has no lag since the old way to play Charizard was to constantly fair onstage. And you can throw a LOT out of it. Even against people who know it autolags, I'll still use it a lot, and sometimes even as a mindgame. Nair in place, and if they shield, grab or Rock Smash them. It's so satisfying.
Also, if there's one of the three Pokemon (as there often is) you don't feel comfortable with the MU, don't be afraid to immediately switch. Be confident in your stronger Pokemon. Expect to be punished for the switch. If you feel your strongest if Squirtle, practice your DI your Squirtle can live longer than expected. I've been told that my Squirtle survives longer than all my other characters somehow, haha.

...what's your favourite syrup?
Haha, glad you asked!
My favorite kind of syrup has always been Log Cabin maple syrup. I've tried other brands of maple syrup and other flavors of syrup, but they just don't taste as good. I prefer my syrup to be thick, not runny, as it will stay on the food better and not run off all over my plate.

What's Pass the Squirtle? =o
Only the most painful and heartbreaking thing I've experienced as Squirtle.
I was at a weekly Austin Smashfest, and San Antonio decided to come, too. Later that night, we started The Ganon Challenge, where one person plays against 3 Ganons with team attack off on Smashville. The goal is to see how many Ganons you can kill before you lose all three of your stocks.
So I'm thinking Squirtle could do well here. He's light, and he almost always lives to high percents for me. And on top of that, I have a lot of experience playing PX's Ganondorf. The three Ganons I go up against are PhantomX, Espy, and a fellow Austinite named Alpaca.
I start off pretty well. I'm running hard with nairs, Water Gun, and jabs. A dtilt mixup once. Then PX goes, "GRAB THE SQUIRTLE!!" I scream and run harder. I get grabbed. PX yells, "PASS THE SQUIRTLE!!!" I get pummeled, then grab released...and another Ganon grabs me. The process continues for minutes until I'm around 80% or so, and I get dashed out of grab release. PX bellowed his victorious war cry.
Now I will never use Squirtle in The Ganon Challenge ever again.
And now in Austin, whenever we play doubles, people always want to play Pass the Squirtle.

Ok Zigsta......who do you think your strongest pokemon is and in what matchups do you think Ivy is a real option not just a semi decent one if you know how to play Ivy.
My strongest Pokemon is definitely Squirtle, although some people say my Charizard is, depending on the MU. If I don't have a very good feel for the MU, Charizard usually outperforms Squirtle, but once I play the MU more often, I understand that character's hitboxes, so it's easier to evade them with Squirtle.
As for Ivysaur...I really don't practice him that much, mainly since most of the people I play with here in Austin either play characters that Ivysaur gets ***** by or Squirtle/Charizard play better against. The MUs I'll use Ivysaur in are usually Ike, Bowser, Ganon, Falco, ICs, Dedede, Zelda, and DK. Reasons being:
If Ike knows the grab releases on Squirtle, we die really quickly.
Bowser grabs Squirtle very, very easily and then ***** him.
Ganon's such a bad character that Ivysaur has an advantage against him. If I really want to win, though, I'll switch Ivysaur quickly, just usually not immediately.
Ivysaur can easily survive Falco's CG to spike with his tether.
Switching immediately against ICs will get your Charizard CG'd 9 out of 10 times. That said, ICs can 0-death Ivysaur very, very easily.
Dedede has to approach you to beat you. Just spam Razor Leaf and bair and run hard. If he's offstage, eat his jumps with bair, but don't get too ballsy here. Play if safe and run that timer.
Zelda's a garbage character.
DK gets ***** pretty hard by Bullet Seed and hates projectile spam. That said, I feel more confident in the Charizard-DK matchup, followed by the Squirtle-DK matchup, so if I really wanna win, I'll switch Ivysaur pretty quickly.

Also as I ask everyone are you a rocksmash counter-attacker and if so whats the best RS counter you've pulled off?
I used to not be, but I've become one thanks to reading, largely from Mata, how Rock Smash breaks up attacks.
I really can't remember a favorite moment off the top of my head, but I really enjoy surprising people with it. I did it against Light's Shiek when he had me in a ftilt lock, and he was surprised 'cuz he didn't know I knew how to do it. Then this week I did it against a friend's Kirby when he was trying to combo me out of dthrow--he had no idea Rock Smash did that, haha.

Zigsta for Rookie of the Year?
I think so.
Dang, Miles, I really appreciate that. <3
I've been working really hard this year to improve as a Brawl player, and I'm very grateful for being invited into the PTBR.
I'll try my hardest to keep improving. We all have plenty of room for it.
I'm sure i'll have extra money if i have to stay for a bit so dont worry i'll be around for a bit longer (graduate in may
