Here is my Reddit AMA finally (for about 34 more hours) - reddit/r/smashbros/comments/1rluq5/ctemp_mew2kings_ama_and_lots_of_other_stuff/ ---------------------------------------- Hello Reddit! >:D Its Mew2king!! This is my first AMA (and first Reddit post), and I will do a 2nd AMA in exactly 1 week from now IF this one goes well (otherwise Im not). I will do this for ~36 hours (2 days), probably ending around 5 AM (EST) Friday morning. I will try to answer each question as honestly and detailed as possible all day long, even if it destroys my already arthritis-getting fingers. (sadly that is how it feels sometimes ;_; ) If you have a personal question that you would like to ask me, but do not want to post it publicly, then please message my /mewtwoking facebook page. (If you are already my facebook friend on my original page, please unfriend me and only talk to me through my /mewtwoking page if possible! Reason is because I have too many friends and I get like 5 requests per day on average and facebook caps it at 5,000 and Ill eventually reach that too quickly and I dont know most of you guys so this is a better plan for me. Thanks for understanding! If Im close with you already then ignore everything I said above!) ____________________ === MY CONTACT INFOs === (very important for my sake esp. the top 2 links) My contact info (that I will likely use forever) is here: (PLEASE SUPPORT ;__; pls) facebook/mewtwoking (I use this and twitter for everything), twitter/ct_mew2king, twitch.tv/mew2king (I may use a different twitch soon; those updates will be on either tweets or my /mewtwoking page above in the near future) My Pro Gaming Team EMP (Empire Arcadia) info is here: empirearcadia/content/company-faq Twitter: twitter/empirearcadia My sponsor CT (Clashtournaments) info is here: facebook/clashtournaments, twitch.tv/clashtournaments, (Isai will stream every tuesday night in smash 64, Armada will start soon, and many more to come soon in a huge schedule we are having soon). youtube/clashtournaments more info about the the new CT twitch schedule here: smashboards/threads/twitch-tv-announces-official-smash-bros-page.317976/page-5#post-15970673 Please Like/follow/subscribe/support/etc us!

(I will not disclose details at this time about any of this sorry!) I play the Super Smash Bros. series at a very high competitive level, and I have more Melee and Brawl tournament wins than anybody. I also think I can be a strong contender for the best player at Melee or Brawl on my good days and/or when Im focusing 100% on them (not both at the same time; that is WAY harder). In Melees case, I think I can beat anyone in a 26 character battle and I would be down to challenge anybody in that for money or something (for pride probably isnt worth it with how long it takes), and in Brawls case, I put almost all of my time into only Meta Knight on purpose because I only cared about the sake of tournament wins and not overall game ability since I merely wanted to live off of the game, so I invested into trying to master ONLY that character for all MUs and situations I would encounter in tournaments. I play Project M and 64 too, and I currently like Project M a lot more than 64 (because the way I play 64 with Kirby makes the game lame for everybody including myself. I only use Kirby because hes cheap and I dont want to practice tech skill in that game. Project M is really awesome so far). I plan to focus on and become the best player at Super Smash Bros. [4] for 3DS and Wii U. Or at least I will try my hardest to do so. I have been a very passionate, serious, and curious gamer my entire life since I was 4 or 5 years old when my mother first introduced me to video games aka Nintendo (my first game was Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt). My entire life, since as early as I can remember, my goal was to be The best at Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Nintendo 64 (quoted from my 2nd grade notebook, where the teacher asks the class what they want to be when they grow up). I played for fun entirely. I thought that video games brought you to a world you could never imagine in the real world, and its just pure fun and joy. I loved my childhood of games. I would even play Bubble Bobble and Gyromite and tons of random games against my sister/mom/dad for fun. It was my greatest passion ever and still is tbh. I never made many friends, and I never really cared to. I entertained myself most of my life. I have a very high passion for video games and, due to the fact that I had no friends, I decided to make one of my hobbies finding everything that I possibly could out about video games, creating my Statistics Lists (starting at various N64 games, but I no longer have those papers, but I originally had about 30 stat lists for Smash 64 before I did this in Melee), which will show some of my greatest work I have ever created (if people knew the amount of work that actually went into it thatd be great but I dont think anyone really knows). I believe life is based off motivation, and things you either enjoy doing, or put time into, you will probably become very skilled/good/successful at. Thats my theory. I have an Associates for CompSci/GameDesign but I do not want to go for a Bachelors. I would rather do other things with the time/money it would cost to get that (indie games / streaming / smash / etc.) My passion is video games and smash bros. I even went as far as to spend days and days and days just gathering donations for people for the Evo drive to get Melee into Evo because I thought that could save our games lifespan (more attention/entrants at all tournaments), and it seems Melee is completely revived now since Evo + Smash Doc! (Brawl seems kind of dead though). When I have a goal that I really want I am usually very serious about making sure its a success. ____________________ === STAT LISTS === I made a lot of Statistics Lists of random data (the lists I decided to post. I had way way more than that, but I never posted them on the internet) and a lot of random articles I wrote are linked here - clashtournaments/?author=2 I also originally posted this here: smashboards/threads/ssbm-statistics-list.30064/ (some of the pages have explanations of some of my methods, but I can elaborate if needed on them. Some were incredibly challenging to get to the degree of accuracy I got them). I spent about 2,000 hours on these total, about 12 years ago, before YouTube existed, before fast laptops, before Google was big. Just from using a lot of math, 2-4 controllers at the same time, and a lot of complex/smart strategies (which I can individually explain each individual method for if you guys would like to ask about those in this AMA). I only post lists if I am at least 99.9% sure its completely accurate (or as much as was possible, even with the most insane, difficult methods). Doing these were some of the most difficult things Ive ever done in my life that I can think of. ____________________ === Other Random Issues === I am well aware (from both my parents, friends, and even psychologists Ive talked to) of my problems that I used to have or still might have some of. I have mild Aspergers, OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), ADHD (I was hyperactive most of my life and sometimes still am, and attention deficit disorder or at least I used to a long time ago; not sure if I still do or not), and possibly more I dont know, but I think it mostly comes down to the fact that I was raised differently and just have passion/interest for some things, and no passion/interest in other things. But thats just my theory/opinion on this. I usually never have malicious intentions with anything I do (as far as I know at least), but sometimes I do impolite things without realizing it (NOT ON PURPOSE THOUGH). One of the reasons I want to be this way is because I believe people should get what they deserve. Good people should get good things and bad people should receive bad things. I realize this is not how the world really works, but fairness is important to me and I believe people should get what they deserve. The 2nd reason is because I fear doing bad things because I dont want to go to hell, in the 1% chance that exists (since it is still hard to convince me that it does exist but I do not want to risk a ~1% chance over an eternity of punishment). I realize Im going to get made fun of for this belief and how everyone is going to say thats not how you go to heaven or Pascals wager or whatever but thats how I am choosing to be. For at least these 2 reasons alone I believe I will always stay as a good person and never sway from that (even though my 2nd reason is completely a selfish one). I spent and still intend to spend most of my life trying to help people. In fact, I was so passionate about helping other people, that I STUPIDLY made the choice of loaning money to 20 or so friends of mine who claimed they needed money, and now combined they owe me a total of about ~9,000 dollars in loans (mostly from plane tickets or just trusting people when I shouldnt have), and TO scams accumulate to about another 8,000 or so. I even had many of these documented on both allisbrawl blogs and myspace blogs, but it seems both of those sources are gone now. (My family even owes me 10k from a few years ago; but I let them have it because otherwise they would not have been able to afford the bills so of course I am going to be okay with it, no choice really). Anyways, I do not want to name them here publicly or talk about this, but if you are really curious we can talk in private messages (if I dont get too many). Im hoping I can refrain from derailing my Reddit into negativity though, which is why Id prefer leaving this out of this thread! I hope you can all understand, but I also will not lie either. (Please dont ask questions about this I probably wont answer them). I used to be a very depressed kid for multiple reasons that I do not want to disclose, but recently life is becoming a bit better for me with my future plans/connections/opportunities but I still have depression problems I cannot help. I would much rather not talk about this here if I dont have to though! Btw since I get a million negative comments on my hairline, its genetic and theres no cost-worthy option I have that doesnt have bad side effects so Im just stuck with it. Most of my depression actually has nothing to do with Smash at all, but unless I trust you with all my heart I am not willing to disclose any of this information about this. Sorry! ____________________ === RANDOM IMPORTANT STUFF === (airlines) If anyone can give me either some Buddy Passes, Frequent Flyer miles, or hookups/sponsors for some CHEAPER TRAVEL (even if its busses), or work some deals with me, then PLEASE let me know. Message my facebook/mewtwoking page and/or tweet me or both. I would love to travel way more but literally half of what I make (on average) goes to travel expenses, which is most of my would-be profit. That is HUGE for me so I would REALLY love some help on this! (also if you know any potential decent-paying jobs, send me a PM and let me know. Even though more ideally Id like to be a streamer as a 2nd job besides tournaments). (Also message me if you would like to help me get to some big tournament somewhere). ____________________ === PLANS, STREAMING, AND RANDOM OTHER STUFF === I currently compete in all Smash Bros. games at the top professional level, and I will strive to be the best at Super Smash Bros. 4 when it comes out. I also plan to make youtube videos (maybe), stream, wifi players (even though I never wifi in Brawl), help others improve, and compete to be the best player. Maybe in the distant future or when Smash 4 comes out, if I have enough support, I could become a streamer (for all smash games, esp Smash 4 and Melee and PM, possibly mega man 2 speed runs since I might have the WR already from years ago [just never recorded and I have no idea if i do or not], among other things) for video games, but that would require a lot of support from people. I believe I can be good at streaming (potentially) because I think I am a very skilled gamer in general (possibly a talent? I dont know). The reason I think this is because of various things Ive done at a young age. Ex: when I was 5 I both beat Super Mario Bros. but also found you can jump over the world 3-3 flagpole with some platform manipulation. Also got 102% in DKC2 when I was like 6 and beat like every NES/SNES game I had then (like 40 of them idk?). I discovered countless things in Melee, space-flying in F-Zero-GX by accident with Super Piranah, Leaf stalling (or whatever you call it to make the leaf last a second longer by tapping X) in Wind Waker before anyone else knew about it, good records in F-zero gx/Double Dash during the several months I played each game, Metroid Prime AI glitches, a lot of different secret worlds in Halo PC/Halo 2 (and I think I might have been the best halo pc player at the time, but I have no proof of it at all, this was like 2004 and I only played for fun back then so I didnt even know about MLG tourneys or Smash Bros tourneys), and lots and lots of glitches in old games that i dont remember anymore. It was a very interesting hobby to me. I just had to discover everything. I also played a lot of NES/SNES hacks and LOVE playing new hack games. Some of my favorite hacks are Rockman 2: No Constancy, Rockman 4: Minus Infinity, Mario World TSRPR, Brutal Mario, and Super Metroid Redesign, but Ive love to play more but I need to focus on my own survival first (Ill be 25 by Feb 5th so I cannot just play games all the time unless I can survive off of it, which would be my ideal lifestyle by far). I may eventually play a lot more hacks and stream and/or youtube them if I get a lot of support (depends mostly on the amount of support I get). Thats in the future though and I am unsure which twitch or youtube channel Ill be using for them right now should that happen. Anyways if I do decide to do streaming and/or make games (I will almost definitely be doing both) I will need support, which is the main reason I am posting my info above; to get support. ___________________________________________________________ === MAKING INDIE GAMES === Another interest I have is to try to make the Super Smash Bros. series as good as possible, but I do not know how or when i can get this sort of power. I would like to try to make the series future as competitive yet fun and user-friendly as possible, so its not only easy to pick up, but has a ridiculous amount of depth as well. (This means mostly like Melee but a few changes to make it superior). I already have a lot written down on what could be improved on from Melee which I wrote months ago after spending a full day of thinking about it. Speaking of that, a few of my friends are attempting to do that right now on their own Indie game projects (which we need more team members for!!!!) If you have ever heard of Vidjogamer (the best Peach player for a long time in Melee and my best friend), he is trying to currently make a Super Smash Bros. editable game in Unity. He only started a few weeks ago, so this is still VERY early in production, but my next weeks AMA (if I do it, otherwise Ill not do the AMA part if this one goes bad) should have a playable demo. Vidjo has played Melee for 11 years and been programming for 15 years, so I believe he can do this well. His contact info is here: facebook/vidjo / twitter/vidjogamer Early Game Demo here - youtube/watch?v=4Cd1VGoU46Y&feature=youtu.be Shephard Lima (gamertag Fiction, a wario(brawl) and fox(melee) player, ranked in Socal) is also a very skilled programmer and he is making a difficult 2D platformer game. He also only started this a few months ago, from scratch. His contact info is here: facebook/shephardlima / twitter/shephardlima Early Game Demo here - youtu.be/esk-6PX2sBE fb page: https://facebook/futureplatformer screenshot album: imgur/a/O9lbW main character concept: i.imgur/koIVEP2.png story concept - pastebin/Vxh0mL3Q Both of these projects will require not only support, but ARTISTS as well. If you know any, message any of the 3 of us (or all 3 if you want to make it easier on me). Different projects will require different types of artists, from animations and 2d art and environments (mostly Shephard right now), to 3d models (vidjo, although he is also making a 2d platformer as well). The reason I am asking for artists right now is because thats the first necessary requirement (before music/designers/etc), but if you can do other game design contributions, then feel free to do that too (or if you know people, send them to me/vidjo/shephard). If you would like to help on any projects, use this Submission form - https://docs.google/forms/d/1KtSuJNyYQkH7s42ltDzvNCXHw_a42NLefE0WeaXp8Yk/viewform (and show your friends this!)
