I've seen Smash Bros mentioned on ChaCha here and there but I don't know if I've seen a dedicated thread yet. By semi-serious I'm not talking professional level obviously - I just mean preferring playing 1v1 with a competitive ruleset (no items, tourney legal stages, etc.) and taking it somewhat seriously as a hobby, treating it more like a fighting game than a party game (nothing wrong with the latter, mind you!)
I'm far from amazing but I've got a not half-bad Snake as my main and respectable enough Cloud and Bowser secondaries. Just for fun, I also fuck around with Joker, Lucina, Wolf, Byleth, and very occasionally Game and Watch, Dorf, and Zero Suit Samus. The group of friends I play with all hate fighting Snake, which I know is a common sentiment :( but I love the hell out of him and think he's easily the hypest projectile zoner IMHO.
What about ya'll - anyone else dorkily invested in this crossover party game for children? Obviously I'm focused on Ultimate but Melee and Project M are cool too, though I don't play them personally.
(P.S. still heartbroken that Travis Touchdown was deconfirmed as a DLC character, RIP)
I played with a competitive group and entered some tournaments back in the brawl days. I haven't played as much recently, but I'm down for competitive 1v1s later.
I still haven't really decided on a main in ultimate. If I had to choose it would probably be Sans, but I also play Hero and Lucina.
I feel like Lucina is a good character to have some experience with even if you don't end up playing her seriously since she's such a no bullshit, fundamentals based character. At the very least, I know picking her up helped me progress past a skill plateau I had hit.
1v1's would be cool - though I'm currently adjusting to a new job so don't have quite as much time to play as I'd like. I wonder if the new Chapo /c/gaming discord could be a good place to organize smash sessions?
