Unfortunately, TwentyTwo has given up ownership of the Interview Thread. He led it very well for a long time, but now I'm taking over. I'm not really making any changes to the formula, but I hope to get each interview finished a bit faster than they had been under TwentyTwo's ownership of the thread.
So here in the General Brawl Discussion we will be bringing you an interview from a Top Player or Influential Member of the Community, hopefully at least 2 times a month.
Better yet, the questions we will be using will be coming from none other than well, you. The format works like this: I will open the thread for each interviewee, and then leave it open for about a week for you to submit any and all potential interview questions you can think of (please only post actual questions in the thread until the interview goes up). The best questions will then be used for the actual interview, and then bam like butter the OP will be updated so all of SWF can read the interview.
UPDATE FEBRUARY 27
Please do not ask personal questions of the interviewee. Ask questions that anyone reading the interview would find interesting. Nothing like "Remember that time where we did blah blah and blah?" Please stick to general questions, or at least questions that aren't specific to just the asker and the interviewee. That's what VMs are for

Interview:
Vrael: How are you doing?
I'm good, you?
SRTM: How is your life outside of brawl?
Different than most top smashers. I get good grades, actually have friends, am attractive to the opposite sex, and play music.
SRTM: How do you balance the two?
It's hard, I don't really. Usually, one is always slacking at certain points.
TLMSheikant: How did you get so good, Wyatt?
Obsession.
ice_cream_man: Did you know before you played brawl that you were going to use Diddy Kong?
I wanted to try him out, but I didn't think I would main him.
Vrael: If you could change one thing about Diddy, what would it be?
The air lag on his fair aerial. I can't imagine how devistating it would be if diddy could fair twice in a short hop, or let alone if the lag was relieved when you use it higher up above.
ForTheLulz: How did you become such a beast in the Metaknight matchup?
I live in New Jersey ^_^
MetalMusicMan: What advice can you give to other smashers about how to tackle the MK Matchup?
Just know your options, and what to punish. Be prepared for tornado, and know everything your character can do against it. I'd suggest camping, because it's not like metaknight has good approaches.
Mota: Do you have a quest? If so, what is it?
To be the very best.
Sai90: Any advice keeping calm in a stressful match?
Not really, use your frustration to make you improve against that trouble char. Just think mid-match to not throw out punishable things no matter how angry you are, and I can't see anything going too badly.
Vrael: How do you feel about teams matches? Do you have any specific strategies? Any favorite team mates?
Doubles I don't enjoy as much as singles, because I like relying on myself and ONLY myself. Diddy kong is decent in doubles, but I don't really have much strategy to it. Gnes is definitely more doubles oriented than me. My favorite team mates are Ally, and co18
King Funk: Do you know any underrated, up-and-coming players who we have to watch out for in the near future?
I wish I could think of anyone besides Nairo. He is too young right now, though.
Bengals: Are there any characters that you think are bound to make a large jump in popularity soon because they aren't popular as of now, or aren't being used correctly?
Ice climbers will make everyone pull their hair out once people start to really focus on non-grabbing things, while perfect the chaingrabs. Luigi should raise.. alot, lol.
Ciro67: Who's best out of you, M2K or Ally, in your opinion?
I don't know, most likely Ally. Right now, we can all beat eachother.
Fogo: Do you have any pre-tournament rituals that you do before playing to get in the "zone"?
Get alot of sleep, and eat before important matches. I play consistent throughout the day as long as I get 8 hours.
ice_cream_man: Why do you play standing up?
Because it's so pro.
Volcanic Doomfire: How do you feel about Ninjalink?
He is cool.
JOE!: As one of our top players, what are your thoughts on projects such as Brawl + or Balanced Brawl that attempt to "balance" the game?
I think they are silly, and sometimes get out of hand. If people enjoy them alot then I guess that's fine, but I really hope they don't ever become too popular enough to be all the time at major events.
mobilisq: Are there any games other than Brawl that you play often?
FF games XD, that's all. I'm seriously waiting for the Other M to come out, though!
Mota: What's your favourite item of clothing?
The face is all that matters, and I'd prefer if everyone took their clothes off, anyway.
Vrael: What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Chocolate chip mint!
Thanks!
