I'm a TO of the SSF2 Oligarchy Series and an SSF2 player.

History of My Smash Bros Experience:

I started off playing Brawl when it came out, when I was around 6. I learned about SSF2 a year later, around 2009 when I played it all through elementary school with my friends afterschool. Eventually they lost interest and I stopped playing for a long time. Fast forward 5 years.... The year is 2016, the month is April, and I was 12 at this point. I heard about Anther's Ladder and SSF2 and I decided to start playing it again, as something for fun and not something really competitive. I saw the tournaments tab on Anther's and I was intrigued. I entered my first SSF2 tournament, The Crow Bar. Nothing special. I went 0-2. But this was when I realized Anther's wasn't the right step since most people just sandbagged on there. I started going to online tournaments whenever they were hosted(No-Life) and I would get better every time. At my second tournament I went 1-2. I normally got between 17th-9th at most tournaments. I finally broke top 8 at Smash Island S2 8, which was when I had been playing the game competitively for 2 months. From there I had several top 8s, and hope to acheive more throughout 2016. At this point I am 13 and have been playing for almost 4 months.

With other smash games, I heard about brawl and played that for a while, then played PM. I didn't get interested in Sm4sh or Melee until Evo 2015, the first melee and sm4sh tournament I saw. I started playing melee towards late 2015 when I got a gamecube controller. I quickly found that the game wasn't meant for me. I then shifted towards Sm4sh, the game I had been playing casually with my brother since it came out. I was never really good at it, but it was fun to play. When Cloud came out, I found what I had been searching for. I've been improving and hope to go to local Sm4sh tournaments soon. The New Jersey scene is huge, with players like Nairo, Tweek, Zero, NAKAT, False, and the people that come out from New York like Dabuz, Anti, Mr E, and Vinnie.

Overall I would say my experience with the Smash Bros Games has been positive and I hope to continue playing all of these games for as long as I can.
