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)
Getting bodied is part of the process. First time i went i got 2-0'd winners and losers. My goal has always been to make it one bracket level deeper than my previous run. I'm down to arena sometime if you want
That could be cool! Someone else in this thread suggested similar. I wonder if the new Chapo /c/games discord would be a good place to organize people who might be interested? Worth noting that I am adjusting to a new job right now so don't have quite as much time to play as I'd like - but still definitely open to it. It'd be good to get some more focused practice with a broader variety of players, and staying within the Chapo pool helps alleviate some of the social anxiety I (and I would guess others) might feel around coordinating this stuff (at the very least, we'll know we aren't playing with chuds lol)
