The creation of my handle wasn't even my idea. I had a friend come over when I first got Xbox Live. He had seen Drillbit Taylor in theaters. At that time he thought that the movie was one of the funniest movies he had seen. While thinking of a tag I had to go to the bathroom. When I came back to my room, my account was fully made. I wanted to say something to him but then I said screw it. And I h've been using it ever since. Though for short I go by D.B.S

I created my own imaginary dinosaur, and I named it skekasaurus. Thus that became my username on EVERYTHING! My online friends call me skeka or skek for short. and all the breezy's know me as "J-Nasty!" :p

"Dark Horse" Is an expression that means "a competitor thought unlikely to win, an underdog". I picked it because it's what I'll always be.

For the 2000th time, it isn't from the comic book series and it's not because I'm apparently a horse.

I use Dragoon Fighter because that is the name I came up with during my obsession with Dragoon things back when I was 8 (I still like dragoon things, just not as much as I used to.) What was on my head at the time was the two dragoon classes in the two tactics games I was playing at the time (Tactics ogre and final fantasy tactics) and magma dragoon (Megaman X4 boss) I wanted to use a word that would embody my preference of using dragon-esque attributes (Dragoon is actually an adjective, to describe something dragoon like.) in games and other such mediums.

I wasn't in a creative mood :bee:
I used to be Søndergaard (because Jonas was taken or something. I don't remember), which is my last name, but then I got premium and changed it to Jonas (which somehow wasn't taken anymore).

My name is based on the game I play and where I play it. I play Brawl at the VUE. I run a league at the VUE... So I figured it made sense.

Well, my name is Saint Nickolas, and some people misheard my name, when stories of my giving came around. I can understand how they got Santa from Saint, but I don't know how they got Claus from Nickolas! Ho ho ho!

I used to go by blowtoes, but I figured I needed a name change after I decided to take smash more seriously, sort of like a fresh start I guess. I originally chose Zeitgeist, German for 'spirit of the times' which I thought symbolized what I was doing pretty accurately. It wasn't that catchy though, so I shortened it to Geist, and use ZEIT as my in-game tag.

It's that move where Bowser snatches a fool out of midair and proceeds to bite chunks out of him.
