Hi Smashboards! I've been playing the Super Smash Bros. games ever since Christmas Eve 2006 and I found out about the competitive scene and this site through a Prima guide book back in either 2011 or 2012. Since then, I've been following all the upsets and other major happenings in the competitive Smash scene. I figured I'd been following long enough so I decided to make an account today. I've always wanted to go to a major Smash Bros. tournament, I attend local tournaments but they have weird rulesets (Swiss, four player, most stages allowed, and most items allowed) and I'm very dominant compared to most of them, a few of them give me a challenge, but not that many and my main rival (he's a nice guy, just in-game rivals because we are the two most dominant and he gives me the most challenge (even in singles)), a guy who calls himself Dollar Bill, is moving away to Canada, thankfully he helped me install Dolphin on my computer so I can play with him once I get a gamecube controller to usb adaptor. I'm hoping to go to MVG on July 26th and 27th so I can finally get a shot in the competitive scene. In Smash 64 I play Pikachu because he has everything I really want in Smash 64 (recovery, combos, etc.), in SSBM I main Fox because (NO! It's not 20XX) I like all the fast and technical gameplay with powerful attacks and amazing edgeguarding (Hint at how fast my gameplay is: I've beaten Battletoads (NES)), in SSBB I play Pikachu because I can actually pull off combos with him (he is also one of the few characters who seems like they are from Melee), fast, and other things that are also the reasons why I chose Fox in SSBM, also Pikachu was the first character I actually played as in both SSBM and SSBB. I'm sorry that this post was rather long for a first post. I hope to have fun going to tournaments and being a part of the community. Also, thanks for listening!

Welcome Ace! I can just call you Ace right?

Well I hope you manage to find more competition so you can get even better. Doesn't help too much to have to always play people you can dominate since it increases the chances of you suffering from a plateau effect.

Do you plan on getting into SSB Wii U/3DS?

Thanks Hokori! Yeah you can call me Ace, I also plan to get both SSB Wii U and 3DS on launch date and from what I've seen at the invitational and how it looks in trailers I'm probably going to main Greninja, how about you?

I already have both games pre-ordered to get on launch date as well. At the moment, I'm looking to main Ike. Although barely information has been revealed about him (he's appeared in few Pic of the Days and has no footage to go by), he's my favorite character so I'll be using him regardless. Other than that, Bowser, Palutena and Pac-Man will be getting messed around with to see if I want to use them as secondaries. If Shulk and a new Fire Emblem rep comes in, I'll probably end up co-maining.

I would honestly be suprised if either Shulk or a new Fire Emblem character (Chrom) weren't in Smash 4

As for Shulk, yeah, I'm pretty sure he'll be getting in and I'm extremely happy about that. As for Chrom, he is the most likely candidate, but he's the one I want the least as a new FE rep (I have my reasons). I still love the guy though, so it's not like I'd be disappointed if he made it in. I'm more so just curious to see how he'll play.

I bet he would be a middle ground of Marth and Ike

With Marth slowed down some and Ike more than likely sped up a bit, that middle ground is looking pretty narrow. That's why I'm curious to see what they'd do with him if he does indeed make the roster. All the newcomers so far have been looking pretty unique. That's not to say that every last one of them will, but it sure would be lackluster to introduce a character that's pretty similar to what we already have. Some people have come up with ideas like using Awakening's Pair-up mechanic (so Chrom and another FE newcomer), but we'll just have to wait and see :)

Is it possible? A Fire Emblem version of Ice Climbers?:awesome:

Tip: Use the edit feature on your original post if you have more to add to avoid Double Posting. Some mods let you off the hook for awhile before they start warning/infracting. Just giving you the heads up.

But that's cool, I'm sure I'll catch him whenever he joins since I respond to everyone around here :awesome:

I'm trying to get a couple more of my friends to join as well, but they're being lame. At least I got my roommates to join a good while ago.
