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)
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)
