I guess by definition, I am a hardcore/competitive mix.
I love melee's depth and gameplay as a whole (not only the bugs that the pros explloit and such) and I really like how the game itself is worked out. Percentages, not health bars. Ring outs, not 100 life to 0 life. I love that about Smash overall (I know it started as melee).
I also wish to get better and I am serious about doing so. As you can see (or have read) I am very prone to discussion and I wish to discuss the game and its depth further with a community who appreciates it likewise. I don't have my Wii to practice, and thus, my discussing here is to substitute in for my hours of practice. Knowing is half the battle, you know?
That's how I see myself.
