It's not clear to me anymore how I got here. All I remember is watching bombsoldier vs ken finals for the first time without any prior exposure to advanced play, and i found this site, somehow, i think because of the phsychoticworm's online play tutorial linked me here.

Two friends of mine linked me here for matchups and AT's in brawl, but I mostly wanted to find tournies to go to.

Well, during the hype days of Brawl, updates galore were entertaining to follow. I initially started following SmashBros.com during it's second day update (which I still remember, Link and Mario). At that point, I typed in random smash brothers based searches on Google, which eventually lead to me finding out about Smashboards. I was hesitant to join, but followed a close eye on discussion, hype, "leaker", and all things Melee!

The Jan 2010 join date implies that I was a nub-cake that followed solely for Brawl. I will admit, Brawl hype got me initially into Smashboards, but I then followed contributing to different sections, being involved in other games, discussing with others that loved the series. I'm happy to be a member of SWF and the general community. One of my few regrets was not joining earlier and contributing more significantly.
Yeah, right, 08er.


LOL
Remember when 'we' were supposed to destroy competitive value on SWF? Yeah, 08'ers found a new type of prejudice, far different from other new joiners of a specific year. Heck, you never see "I will never speak to 10'ers" signatures or any of the sort. But that's in the past, delicious, delicious past...

I guess it was pretty much Barwl for me too.

But then within like, a week, I realized that Barwl wasn't as amazing as I initially thought and now I pretty much only either hack it or play it when my friends are stupid and refuse to play Melee.

And now I pretty much hang out solely in the Poké Center.

I think I saw a Brawl video on Youtube that had a link to this site. Or maybe it was a Melee video. Either one, I was amazed at the skill levels of the two players, so I checked out the site. I liked the way everything on this site looked and felt, so eventually, I created this account.

I remember reading an article about Super Smash Bros. on GameInformer.com. As I read through it, I eventually came across a link that said "Smashboards" and clicked it. And that's how I first met this wonderful site ^__^. Although, I din't join right away. After comtemplating it a little, I joined SWF a few months later after I found out about this site's existance ^__^. Such fond memories of when I first started here ^__^.

Anyways, Happy 10th Anniversary Smash World Forums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope to have 10 more good years with you all ^__^.
