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 got pretty good for a while, but couldn't cut it at the pro tournaments.
The smell of the place always threw my game off.
Also, they found out I wasn't sexually interested in teenage girls and threw me out.
You might still got a chance comrade, lots of smash pros groomed teenage boys too
