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 room 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.

Past Interviews:

M2K
DSF
Anther
Dojo
NinjaLink
Lain
mikeHAZE
SOLID

So yeah, this time we got Ally, the best Snake and one of the best Brawl players in the world!

HOLOpaW: Why do you main Snake?

Because I wanted to play with him when I saw him on the Smash Dojo update, I liked MGS series too ( I need to play the 4th still -.-).

vanek_pi: What do you think is your best match up, and what do you think is your worst?

Uh... I don't wanna put low tiers in this XD but I think I do good against MKs if it's not M2K, he is still trouble. My worst would be Marth, I don't know what to do yet.

VodkaHaze: How did it feel when you beat M2K at Apex?

I was happy since I beat the Legendary M2K! Lol I got a lil sad when the money was given, it was small for a national.

Nova9000: What has been your biggest obstacle in terms of staying the most dominant Snake player so far?

Enjoying the game ;/ I can't play it if it's not a tourney set anymore.

MetalMusicMan: Where do you think Snake should be placed on the Tier List?

3rd-4th or 5th best.

lax guy5: Do you think you're the Brawl best player in the world?

Meh, me and M2K goes 50-50 now, I want Pound 4 to decide who is ;D if both of us gets to GFs.

JOE!: What are your thoughts, as one of our Top Pros, on the Brawl+ and BBrawl projects, which aim to make the game more competitive and balanced?

Terrible, no offense, I recently discovered Kirby can Swallow Ganon, jump out of stage, let it release and then just dair him or grab the ledge for the kill. Talk about fixing and balancing.

Iliad: What is the secret to your inhuman DI?

I don't know, it just happens like that...

Iliad: When and where was your first tournament?

... MY 1st was in a local tourney in my own city, I won like 30 bucks and a Giant Mario Plushie. lol but my real one imo was a tourney in Montreal where I won 1st with only losing one game.

hyperhopper: How can an OK snake take steps to become a pro snake?

It's all about the mind =.= I wish I could explain but it's too hard since it's from your own mind.

Lord Rayku: How do you convince your girlfriend to come to tournaments with you?

She went to tourneys before she even met me in Michigan. She's a brawler too lol.

4 the lulz: Ally, would you ever use Captain Falcon in regular singles?

I already did before, I believe I beat some players ( I don't wanna name ‘em lol) I haven’t for a while though, I would only use him against non-MKs, D3s player probably.

Sanuzi: When are you gonna sit down and train with Kage for a week to become one of the best at Melee?

He's too far still, not worth it -.-.

dragonblooded: How does it really feel to be considered one of the TOP TWO brawlers in the world? How does it feel when you go to a tourney and every single part of your play is judged?

It's cool I guess, I don't get what you mean on your 2nd question though :p excuse my foreignness.

__crystal____: If you could make a single change to Snake, or some aspect of the Brawl, what would it be?

I wish he was even heavier when he fastfalls, or more air mobility.

King Funk: Will you come to Europe in summer 2010? Many players from the USA, Melee or Brawl, are thinking of doing that. Are you?

I've been thinking of going with M2K, only if there's a big big tourney ;P

haloman800: Who is your hardest opponent/character to fight?

****ing M2K or ADHD with his Diddy.

kingcobra9: Is the Y in your name pronounced like I or E?

Doesn't matter at all.

TLMSheikant: Should MK be banned?

Ban tornado! But nah not really.

JUDGE: Have you ever thought about dropping snake?

No lol, that'd be the end of Smash for me if it happens.

Vrael: What do you do with all of the prize money that you win?

Save up a bit, use a lot of my expensive transportation =.= and travel. Not much in other words. Some other stuff like gifts but yeah...

There you go, straight from the man himself!

Thanks a lot Ally.

Where would you say Ganondorf and Falcon should go on the tier list? - Not a good question, I know.

How do you feel about the matchups where Snake gets chain grabbed, excluding Ice Climbers (So basically, how do you feel about Pikachu, Falco, DeDeDe and how do you feel the chain grab affects the match)? Do you think it is Snake or the opponents favor, why?

Where do you think Snake should be placed on the Tier List?

How do you feel about the Snake vs Metaknight matchup, who comes out on top?

Who do you think Snake does best with in Doubles / how do you think Snake is in Doubles overall?

Do you think you're the Brawl best player in the world?
Did you choose Snake as your main before looking at the tier list?
If you could only use ONE move Snake has for the rest of your Brawl career, what would it be and why?

You have been described as a person who develops his own methods to combat the various characters in Brawl with Snake. Given that Snake is seen by many as a character that camps his opposition... Do you agree with this view point? What specific match-up advice would you give to other Snake mains?

When and where was your first tournament?

Having seen videos of your online play during the first months of brawl's release, you were terrible! When and how did you become the beast that you are today?

Snake's rolling is usually very punishable, and yet you spam them out against pros constantly. Is it a mindgame to use basic strategies not used often at high level of play?

How did it feel to two stock m2k on his counterpick at Apex? And how did you know to refuse his silver-tongued charm when he asked for a split?

*Edit, almost forgot* What is the secret to your inhuman DI?

Finally... When will you accept that Culex is a far superior Captain Falcon to you, and that you'll never be able to attain his level of manliness? :D

What is it that makes you win your matches? Super Reads? match up experience? mix ups? what?

Do you think Sakurai screwed you against your match with DEHF game 1 at active gamers? (Trip that lead into a grab furthering your damage percent and putting you into a vunerable postion)

Why are you the only snake that can take off games of m2k and BEAT him? What is it that you do differntly?

Why are you roboticly/Physically (lol made up words) unable to lose to an mk?


What mindset do you have going into matches?

Ally, would you say that you a better at understanding match-ups or at reading your opponent? I think that the reason you are so good is because you are able to see patterns that your opponents make. Would you agree?
