... is so I can brag about my grand achievements within the competitive Smash scene!!!

...

I wish there was a sarcasm font. lol

Anyways, hello everyone! I'm Bay6, and here's a bit about myself.

I'll start with my mains, they are:
- Mr. BaconWatch
- Shriek
- Rosetta & Twink
- Captain Crunch
- Fax
- Marty-o
- No longer in the Meta Knight, and
- Mega Man, man.

Edit: Narrowed the list down a bit.

Close secondaries: (My skill with them is the same as the others, just the others do better overall :( )
- Wii Trainer Fit (Just look at the acronym, instead of WFT it is...)
- Ness (Couldn't come up with anything, lol)
- Falco

The reason this list is long is because I am much more of a generalist than a specialist. I take some pride in my ability to play almost every character in the cast to a proficient degree. Of course I know my (potential) mains better than a proficient degree, lol.

The reason why this is so relates to my username, Bay6. (Basics) No matter what you do, the player with the better mechanics (or basics) will be the player with the edge. You can know all the combos in the world but if you're predictable you're going to struggle in anything competitive.

My experience:
- N64 - Not much.
- Melee - Hundreds of hours, but I never knew about advanced techniques like wavedashing and L-canceling until late last year, effectively rendering my almost all of my experience obselete.
- Brawl - Very experienced, but not the most fun because of the defensive meta and tripping. (Why Sakurai? Why? Tell me why?)
- Project M - Very fun, but not my forte. I just never spent any time playing it.
- Sm4sh (Wii U)- Love this version to death. In my opinion it's the best incarnation of the series thus far. I'm just sad to see Nintendo is taking some techs out.

I first saw Smashboards about a year ago, but only now am I getting serious and skilled enough to make an account and dive into the deep end of Smash. The guides and specific forums for characters and techs are supremely useful for everyone. Props to those who dedicate so much into making those guides and tutorials.

I'm starting to get into locals (tournament play), but I have never attended any thus far. Although some of my friends are local tournament players. Edit: (I live in Texas, now I know there's a large scene in almost every city! :o )

I'm actually highly interested in doubles play, although I don't play with anyone in particular. I like making thematic teams like Peach and Rosalina with matching colors, or the Mario Bros. or Sheik and Zelda, etc.

I have plenty of other interests outside the forums (and the mysterious world known to internet users as reality) and other forums, games, and sports, but I figured I'd end it here. Feel free to ask me anything! :)

Thanks for reading,

Bay6

You could've called Ness, "Niece". And instead of the series being known as Mother, it would become "Aunt".

:troll:

Thanks for the welcomes and references! And "Niece" is a good one for Ness, I'll keep that in mind.

Welcome to the boards! I honestly feel the same way about smash 4, and (aside from GimR) there are practically no BaconWatch mains, so I'm also glad to see more of that.

I typically use Mr. Game & Watch as a sucker-punch in matches, lol. His off-stage game and aerials are dirty, so I use him against characters with weaker recoveries like Captain Falcon, Diddy Kong, and Mario. etc.

That's basically the gist of G&W; rack up damage with the D-throw strings and send them off-stage for the gimps. Or at least that's how I like to play him.

Lol, I appreciate the "late" welcome. Thanks! :)

As for my G&W style, I don't use his 9-hammer at all. (aka the Nein! Hammer xD) I'd rather get my frying pan gimps in, thanks.

And, Still~Wolf, a Fox main with a Lucario avatar? Just sayin'. lol

I haaaad Fox but... I found this picture of Lucario, and Lucario IS one of my favorite Pokemon. Plus, love the headphones <3
TO BE FAIR, I AM messing around with him a bit to learn him, along with Mewtwo and Shulk :p

True enough, that is a great avatar. Can't fault you for it.

And you have a liking for spacing characters I see...

Yeeeeah I think somewhat. I could name everyone I enjoy, but I mostly use Fox, C Falcon, Mewtwo, Shulk, Dr Mario and Lucario. Used Mewtwo a lot back in Melee beside Fox, so Lucario was a must back in Brawl. Only thing stopping me from trying to use him seriously is all the folks complaining about his aura :salt:.

Who would you consider your "best" if you had to choose, though? See you got a pretty wide variety up there.

I have to choose...? D:

I'll just answer with I prefer characters with the following:
- Nice aerials, thus helping my edge game.
- Attacks with high speed, usually means lower damage per strike but is compensated with the ability to combo better.
- Good grab range, with the ability to start combos from a grab.
- Reasonably good projectiles are a plus.

This narrows the roster to lighter, faster characters.

I'm actually planning to add Ike, Pit, Dark Pit, Link, Kirby, and Samus up there xD, since I feel like I've practiced enough with them.

If I REALLY had to choose, I would probably pick Rosalina & Luma... But only by the width of a light particle, lol.

I narrowed down my list of potential mains to 8 characters.
:4mario::4gaw::4falcon::4sheik::4fox::4metaknight::rosalina::4megaman:

Along the way, however, I've improved my play with several other characters, namely Sonic, Wario, Bowser, Luigi, and Palutena.

Gotta catch 'em all! Smash style! (crummy attempt at humor is crummy lol)

Welcome to Smashboards!
I bit of advice though, I would highly recommend picking one main instead of 8. You'll improve much faster that way. You can still continue to play the others obviously, but considering them all your "main" isn't the best plan. So figure out who you enjoy the most, or who you do the best with, and get reaaaally good with them. Then you can slam people in tournament. Good luck, and happy smashing!

Hmmm, true. I'm still learning and experimenting. I'll probably start with RosaLuma first. I play her in Mario Kart as well lol. (As if it has anything to do with Smash)

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. :)
