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 wanted to be good at ultimate; I sucked at melee but loved it, was awful at brawl, did okay on 3ds until I dropped it out of a car, and in ultimate I just can't find any playstyle I can stick with. It doesn't help that I just ain't got the mechanics/mind for high level play.

    Maybe I could set aside some time to do drills and then practice again to get into it but none of my roommates play. Doesn't help that I haven't got an ethernet adapter for the switch here; I left it with my brother when I moved out since he's much better than me and gets actual use out of it.
