Hey everyone. I'm Ya Dad. I originally registered with the Smash Flash backroom, but it's not nearly as active as this forum seems to be, so I think I'll stick around and see what's going on with this one.

I am just now getting into competitive Smash (mainly Melee and Project:M) so I don't know much about how tournament rules work as far as banned stages, counter-picking and the like. I've also discovered that, after +10 years of Smash Bros. experience (and the results of going to my first real tournament circuit), I am still a rookie Smasher. I never learned to wavedash, didn't know all the technical terms (L-cancel, teching, DI, etc.), and never played the game outside my circle of friends. I was the best out of my group, so I thought my smash skills were pretty damn godly lol. Then I went to my first real tournament and learned how wrong I was.

I discovered SSF2 a couple years ago. I don't remember what version I was playing at the time, but I remember Sora's "B" moves were a lot different than they are now, and CPU's kept grabbing me over and over, so it got annoying pretty quickly and I stopped playing. It was neat for a Smash game based on Flash, but I didn't take it seriously.

After looking up the top ten indie fan games a few months ago, I came across Super Smash Flash 2 again and gave it another shot. HOLY CRAP it's improved. The physics got overhauled, CPU's weren't cheap anymore, hitstun felt more like pre-Brawl, more characters, more stages...after playing it for awhile, I started to forget it was a flash game! I got one of my friends into it and that's the only Smash game he plays anymore (it's better than vBrawl because it's faster, less floaty, and has more hitstun, and is a lot less technical than Melee so you learn faster).

I like to think I'm pretty good at SSF2. Hopefully none of you prove me wrong once online is integrated

I have more demo vids but i'm pretty embarrassed by them now because I've gotten a lot better since I made them.

Hope to see you guys around.

Dad, I f*** hate you.
First you had to cheat on mom, and now this?
You're f*** ridiculous and I hate you. I hope you know this.
It is a disgrace to be your son, you sick excuse for a human being.

welcome

Welcome to MG.

you have a child what are you doign with your life

Welcome to MG.

Wow, this forum is extremely quick to respond! Thanks to everybody for the nice welcomes. You can catch me playing on livestream at Apex. I'm going to a qualifier in December. I'm not assuming I'll win, I'm just going to Apex anyway so I can play against other people in SSF2. It says a lot about a game (especially a flash game) when I'm willing to travel all the way to New Jersey just to be at the booth for it.

You're not my dad, but welcome anyways. Read the rules, etc.

Welcome to MG anyway! Hope you submit an application to the BR, as the members are few. You definitely seem qualified.

I would love to be a member of Flash Backroom, but I remember reading somewhere on their site that you need a good deal of tourney knowledge to be accepted. I would post a DL, but I think that's against MG Forum rules. :/
