So I was watching a video explaining input buffering, which is a phrase that I've always heard but never really understood how it actually worked until like 30 minutes ago. I love smash, and I've played the game since the 64, however in recent years I've gotten sort of interested in getting into competitive smash. I've never played fighting games, and I never liked them because I never understood them, and I was never any good at them. But I adore smash, and its one of the few games that I could consider myself good from a casual perspective. When I was younger, I would just play the characters I liked (I distincly remember, probably about 15 years ago, thinking that the idea of tier lists in smash was just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard), and when Brawl came around, Toon Link was the character that I just clicked with, the way he played just felt pretty natural to me. It even convinced me to pick up and play Wind Waker, which I ended up loving.
I've generally never been interested in playing anything competitively, mostly because I've always found quick button inputs difficult to pull off (a little while ago, I remember trying to practice short hoping, and I did for like 5 hours, and still could only do it half the time at best). Unfortunately, it wasn't until after my Wii U was stolen that I got the idea that it might actually be possible to train that skill and find interest in competitive gaming. Not being an exceptionally social person, knowing just about nobody that actually plays smash, not having a car, and not having andy way to battle online, pretty much meant that there was no way for me to try to practice besides going into training mode, or fighting against computers on melee, which requires me digging out my wii and setting it up. I do it occasionally, but not really often enough to consider it being worth anything. Hopefully though, when ultimate comes out, I'll be able to train against real people online.
Anyway, a comment thread on that video I was watching was this dude complaining about how hard it is for newcomers to get into smash, and his plight was sorrt of like mine. Other people in the comments were just like "dude most peple know this stuff already just go to the smash boards" so here I am. Hello!
