I live in Ontario at the moment, close to Toronto, and soon I'm moving to BC, so I'm lucky to be near reputable areas.
I actually used to live in Las Vegas for 4 years, but I wasn't able to play Smash. D:

how many matches (averaging 3 min) do you watch a day roughly?

I usually watch around 5-10 matches, once in a blue moon, and it has to have a Falco vs some other character or else I won't watch it.

how many hours a day are you on smashboards?

Can't really say, I always leave my profile signed on and leave my computer on everyday, but I rarely come on this site unless it's for a upcoming tourney or if I'm just bored and want to kill some time.

how many smash friends do you play with on a weekly basis?


At the moment, I only have 2 that live around me, while 1 of the 2 is really rare to ever play with. When I play with my other friend, we usuall play for like 3-5 hrs.

how many hours a day do you actually play melee(including techskill practice)?

I put in a couple hours of practicing tech skill for like 2-4 days of the week, depending on my mood and if I just came from a tourney.


Who's your main and why? Do you have an alt you use in tournament? If so why?

I main Falco and only Falco. The reason behind this is because I like fighting game characters that are relatively fast and combo crazy, and Bombsoldier, Flowin Water, Lambchops and etc. helped me realize what a great character he is. Also, I always liked Falco back in Star Fox 64 and always chose him just because he was blue, which is my favorite color :).


Lastly, what is your style of play considered by others?

People consider my Falco to be really technical and aggressive.

It's been a while since I have watched matches. I don't have a good computer to watch and listen vids with. I remember watching vids and getting inspired back in 07. I need a awesome laptop to be able to watch vids yet again.

I don't know... Alot I guess haha. I'm at school, and I checked it this morning.

Let's see, at least 4 or 5. There are more, though. During the summer maybe the same number but different people.

5-7 or more hours a day of play. Lol. Tournament? Mostly like the whole day. Like for Apex, me and my friends even played till 4 am when we were back at the hotel.

I have always mained doc. Never have I used a different character for tournament. (I think) I do practice a little bit with characters I think might be viable as backup if the day comes that I'd need to really change up for some odd reason.

Lastly, what is your style of play considered by others?

I think I'm sort of consistent... Smart (not that smart), technical, random, risky, carefree... and of course I don't ever give up.

I don't watch matches, except the night before a tournament. I watch matches of problematic matches, then sleep on it to better absorb the knowledge.

I check the boards periodically every day whenever I have access to a computer with internet, but I don't stay on for long periods of time, so it probably translates to 1~2 hours daily.

how many smash friends do you play with on a weekly basis?


during the week without tournaments, I usually smash with a few different people, about 5 I am blessed with getting to play with GamerGuitarist7 on a weekly basis, however.

how many hours a day do you actually play melee(including techskill practice)?


an hour or two every monday, and tuesday with GG7 and a local player who loves next door. Wednesday for some reason i never really smash. Thursday I smash with Forward's little brother after he gets out of school, usually for several hours. Friday I smash with another local Fox player in the evening. Saturday and Sunday I smash with people at uni.

As for technical skill practice, I only ever practice the night before a tournament. Everything that I need to practice can only be done with other, live players. CPUs just don't cut it anymore.

Who's your main and why? Do you have an alt you use in tournament? If so why?

In tournament, I play Falco 99.9% of the time. I only ever use Fox on Final Destination against characters that can chain grab, and against other Fox players on Dreamland.

In friendlies I'm known to **** around with Marth, Captain Falcon, and recently, Peach.

Lastly, what is your style of play considered by others?


It varies on how I'm feeling. In friendlies, I try my best to play flashy. In tournament it's all down to business and I bust out the Gun and pitch a tent.

Im so dedicated to smash that i joined the army just to get out of state play (or so its been rumoured)

hmm.. i cant really put a number on it. i probably watch smash videos for an hour a day, mostly cause i have nothing to do

how many hours a day are you on smashboards?
sooooo many. if my computer is on, smashboards is pulled up.

how many hours a day do you actually play melee(including techskill practice)?
unfortunately not enough :( stupid army. On weekends, i usually play 8ish hours on saturday and 5ish on sunday

Who's your main and why? Do you have an alt you use in tournament? If so why?
Fox. i switched around a lot, but i like fox the most because of how technical you could be with him and how many options he has. In a tournament, if my fox isnt workin, ill switch to pikachu. :D

Lastly, what is your style of play considered by others?
uhh.. ask someone else? idk, smart (except when i do stupid things), not-so aggressive, kinda unorthodox. . . i unno

probably 3-5 matches per day. I've been busy lately. Last year when I was really into smash I watched maybe 20 matches per day, especially when videos came out after a national tournament.

ummm... maybe 1.5 - 2 hours a day.


how many smash friends do you play with on a weekly basis?

only 1 on weekdays but about 15 on weekends.


how many hours a day do you actually play melee(including techskill practice)?


on average I would say 30 minutes a day. I play only with my friend on campus. But on weekends, we usually have a large smashfest or tournament, so I play about 6 hours on saturdays.


Who's your main and why? Do you have an alt you use in tournament? If so why?

I main marth because
1) he was a good character and wasn't very technical demanding
2) my friend who introduced me to competitive smash used marth
3) Ken, Kizzu, and KoreanDJ. I loved and still love watching their marths.
4) Marth's combos are really fancy. I love the fluidity.

I don't have any other alts, but I would like to level up my fox to make him tournament viable one day (mostly for sheik, and maybe puff). But honestly I'm looking like a marth main forever.

Lastly, what is your style of play considered by others?

By some, I'm concerned unorthodox. But really, I just play bad text-book style marth. My marth is weird. My game is also largely based around baiting, so I guess I play really gay.

I'm graduated and unemployed. Still looking for jobs, but in the meantime Smash and Chess are my only connections to the outside world right now.
