@TheZigzagoon Cool! I play with Marth as well. He wasn't the first character I used, but when I discovered him, I really liked him. So he's always been a favorite of mine. I was really sad when his moves got downgraded in later games, though. Besides Marth, I also play with Pikachu and Peach. 

That is interesting because I also have friends who spend more time playing Brawl (or the 3DS/Wii U version) rather than Melee. Some of them play casually and others play competitively. It's a weird mixed bag. But I think that's a nice aspect of the Smash community. You can met all kinds of neat people who love the same game. It's nice to hear Smash Ultimate is returning to the Melee roots. I'll need to save up some money to buy it since it sounds like a great game. Have you found characters you like to use in Smash Ultimate yet?

I feel you there. There's a lot of techniques to learn and master, but I think that's half the fun. One technique I remember trying to master was Marth's Down A move (in the air). Finding the sweet spot to quickly finish opponents was challenging, but when I pulled it off, it felt very rewarding. I did play competitively for a bit (sadly, not good enough to play in any tournaments, though, lol). Unfortunately, these days I don't really have time to  You should totally join a local tournament when you feel confident enough to test out your skills  

@monkeybanana4 I’m the same, I think Sheik was my first choice until I used Marth just because I found Marth easier to use. Peach is fun to use too!

I really liked the 3DS version it was really fun and nice to have as a portable game, and I couldn’t get a Wii U at the time for the Wii U version, my fiancée and I used to play the 3DS version with each other a lot, and we’ll still bring Brawl out every once in a while! The best thing about Smash is every game is timeless. The characters I’m using in Ultimate atm are Marth, Lucina, Sonic, Little Mac, Fox, Falco and Ganondorf. Ganondorf is looking to be a favourite as they gave him a speed boost

I’m more than willing to sit and learn techniques for hours, I find it fun! I graduate from university in March and have graduation in July so I may have time after March to make a start! One thing I’ve always been pretty good at is spiking opponents, there’s no better feeling than jumping off the edge with your opponent and down A them in to the void xD If I get good enough I’ll check out a tournament or two, if there is any local to me xD 

@TheZigzagoon Same here! I find Marth is quite nimble and has great range with his sword in Melee. Yes, I love doing aerial combos with Peach since she can float in the air xD She has that fun attack where she can throw vegetables. I used to love spamming it when playing with friends for fun, lol.

I agree. The Smash series is a timeless game and can be played by anyone. It's simple to pick up, but takes time to master. I think that's the beauty of it. You can be any at level and enjoy the game. I was so excited when I first heard it would be released on the 3DS. I could finally bring it anywhere and not have to worry about bringing a ton of wires to play with friends xD It had lag, but it was convenient to play on the go.

Good to hear about Ganondorf! He was such a cool character to use in Melee. It seems the speed of the game is considerably fast in Smash Ultimate - really reminds me a lot like Melee. How do you feel about Lucina? Some people criticize that she is somewhat of a Marth clone despite some subtle differences. On a side note, I like how they incorporated all the different stages in Smash Ultimate. Fountain of Dreams looks really beautiful in Ultimate. Do you have any favorite stages?

That's good to hear! (Good luck with school  And with Smash as well xD) It does require lots of time, but I agree with you. I think it's super fun to spend that time learning and perfecting techniques. Haha, same here! It's such an evil tactic especially when your opponent is trying to save themselves, but you crush all hopes with those spike moves. Even worse when they are at a low percentage, lol. I remember trying to learn combos with the grab move since you can pull off some pretty neat combos with that move. Just curious, but how do you practice your techniques? (i.e. training regiment and the sort)

Sort of off-topic, but what kind of other video games do you play besides Smash?
