1. Smashboards name/ common tournament aliases: Boxob. B%B For Melee. 10 Boxob points if you can see why. ;]
2. How long have you been attending tournaments through Smashboards? Mid 2006.
3. About what rank/place do you usually finish at the tournaments you attend? Almost always top 5. Although my first couple of tourneys have been complete fail what with getting knocked into losers bracket first round and what not. I'm much better now.
4. Have you ever hosted a REAL LIFE Smash event.? : I was supposed to host one, I even had a thread open with a set date and people ready to go. Two days before tourney time, my parents decide they need to go on vacation, and that I can't host it at my house.
5. What characters do you use for Brawl tournaments? On which characters do you consider yourself an expert? Sonic, Diddy, Link, Falcon, Fox. My specialty is without a doubt my Sonic though, I dedicate a large majority of my time researching and theorizing Sonic mechanics and ways to exploit them. An example of this can be seen here.

While the thread started as a hoax, the real discovery underneath my initial ridiculous claims is that you can cancel his fast fall lag frames with his SpindDash Cancel.
6. What area/region/community are you from? East coast, Long island New York.
7. How do you participate within and improve your community? I'm on the boards literally the entire day. I have a blackjack two with unlimited data plan, so even when I'm out and socializing, I'm frequently checking back on the tactical discussion, Melee sections, and Sonic boards.
8. What do you expect to add to the SBR? Realistically, I'd like to further increase the overall awesomeness that the SBR already holds. With most posters from the SBR really knowing what they're talking about, adding another living breathing database (me) seems like it could help, or at the least, I could share my opinions in the matters of today and the inevitable future problems. Also, more run-on sentences.
9. What issues do you think are important for the SBR to address with the community right now and in the future?Well there's the ever so obvious Metaknight ban debate going on. But what else? My only present concern is the SBR Brawl recommended rule set. And that would require it's own thread for me to discuss in detail.
10. Please link to some of your posts that the SBR might find interesting or that demonstrate your ability to contribute positively to discussions. To be honest, my ability to positively contribute to information is scarcely represented. I often abstain from cluttering the boards with the little findings that I have, so I usually just post them in a pre-existing thread. Buuuuut, I do have two threads that come to mind that I do think are quite helpful.

Most recent discovery. Sonic Fast fall Lag cancel, jokingly named Box canceling.

EDIT BONUS QUESTION!: For cool points, who is your favorite comic book character/superhero and why? : I never really liked comics.
But I guess I've never really been cool either.
