So. Uh. Hello? I'm not very good with introductions. Um

I guess you probably want to know a few Smash things about me? Well, I first got into Smash Bros in the mid-2000s with Melee. I wasn't even aware of any competitive scene yet so I definitely wasn't competitive myself, but it still became my favorite game of all time for a while. I was super crazy hyped when Brawl came out, and I played it more than any other Wii game I owned. Then I began to get into other consoles and started to move away from Nintendo stuff as a whole, and kind of lost interest in Smash Bros in the process. But then years later when Smash 4 came out, I got it and it reinvigorated my interest in the series, and now it's my favorite game series again! I only recently started paying attention to the competitive scene, which just kind of happened naturally after wanting to get a little better at my favorite game and discovering a bunch of guides and tutorials for the game

When it comes to being competitive or casual Smash player, I'm not sure what to describe myself as. I feel like I'm kinda stuck between being casual and competitive. I don't really think of myself as a casual player (I don't like items or wacky stages, I like 1 on 1 stock matches, I play to win, I like learning how to play the game efficiently and skillfully), but I'm definitely not good enough to be considered a competitive player either (I have no idea how to implement even basic and fundamental tactics and strategies that most high level players use all the time, and I constantly make very basic noob mistakes that you're never supposed to make). It's also kind of frustrating when I'm looking for people to play with, because I don't really know what to look for when searching online for players around my skill level. There's not really a catchy word for a player like me, like "casual" or "competitive", so I don't know how to find players like me

I joined this forum for two reasons. First, the forums I go to right now are kind of dying, so I'm looking for a new internet place to call home and meet some likeminded friends (and I figured a Smash forum would be a great place to look). Second, I'd like to find some people to play Smash with, since I don't really have anyone I can play with right now. Though to be clear, I prefer to get to know a person before I play Smash with them, so I'd rather not have a bunch of people sending me Nintendo IDs apropos of nothing

My main for Smash 4 is pretty easy to figure out (hint: he's in my avatar). My other mains are Greninja, Marth/Roy/Lucina, Corrin and Bayonetta. I don't really play any of the other games right now, since I can't really play them online and have no way of playing them with others in person

Wow, I wrote a lot more than I expected to. Err...sorry

(BTW, I don't really know what the signature policies are here. I'd like to use a picture for my sig, but it's fairly large and animated and I don't want to break any rules right out of the gate)

As long as the sig isn't offensive/lewd/drug related, it should be ok. Check the SWF rules. Which forums are you coming from?

Oh I'm not worried about any of that, I'm just having trouble figuring out what the biggest picture I'm allowed to have in my sig is. The picture is this, for the record http://paulrobertson.mechafetus.com/10_void_animated.gif. It's obviously way too big right now and I'll definitely resize it, but I want to know how much smaller I need to make it

Also, the other forum I go to isn't Smash related and it's part of a fandom that gets a lot of ridicule from others on the internet, so ehhh...I'd kinda rather not say

Welcome to the boards!

Minor correction, it's actually 160px max signature height for non-premium members.
Hmm. Well in that case, I guess I won't use the picture then. The picture is barely even visible at that size
