RadRedi
Smash Journeyman
Hello!
As you can see, I'm RadRedi. I'd say I'm an intermediate Smash player. My general circle of friends doesn't really get into the competitive side of Super Smash Bros, but there are quite a few of us who get into it more so than others.
My first SSB experience was when my family rented Melee from Blockbuster way back when. It was originally just a casual form of entertainment that my brother and I would rent on and off, but when we found out that there were more unlockable characters than JUST Jigglypuff (we were young, and the Internet wasn't what it is today, if I remember correctly), we were absolutely mesmerized.
Eventually, my brother got the game from our Uncle Tom for Christmas. I remember unlocking the likes of Luigi, Mewtwo, Marth, Roy, etc. for the first time, and being completely astonished as bit after bit of Nintendo history was mine to control. We had grown up more on the Sony side of the tracks, so discovering these characters was all the more magical, especially for a kid. And even though I knew nothing about Mr. Game and Watch, his originality was enough for me to make him my first main.
Later in life, I tried out the original for the 64, which was a mistake, because it was so different than Melee. Melee was such a step up that I had to put forth more effort than necessary to actually enjoy the game.
Years passed, and I got Brawl. I played it, beat it, loved it, but then my Wii, an original model, decided to do the whole "Wait! I can't read multi-layered discs!" thing I've heard so much about.
Now, there's a fourth game, and that's how I found out about Smashboards: finding as much information about Sm4sh as I could. And now after about a month of being a Guest, I finally joined.
I tend to ramble, obviously. I'll try not to do that too much.
