Pyroloserkid is a Canadian smasher from Brampton, Ontario. He joined Smash World Forums on June 6th, 2007 and mains Falco and Pikachu, but he considers low tiers just as fun to play with. He entered his first tournament on September 29th. The tournament was Starfurry 2007, and he didn't make it out of his pool. All in all, it was a great experience for him and he learned a lot about the game and was also alot better by the end of the night. After attending two more tournaments, Pyroloserkid started placing higher, and placed 13th in a massive GTA tournament.
[edit] Background
For the past six years, Pyroloserkid had no idea about what Smash really was. He had no idea about the competitive side of it, and that such advanced things were even possible. Early in June of 2007, Pyroloserkid was reading up on the most anticipated upcoming game, "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" when he happened upon a YouTube Melee video. This video was the Bombsoldier vs. Ken Jack Garden Tournament. While watching it, Pyroloserkid was amazed and confused all at the same time. He had no idea what was going on. He had never seen this side of Smash before, and on top of that, he didn't even know it existed.
Pyroloserkid was reading the comments after watching the video like he does with all YouTube videos, and was utterly lost. He had no idea what half the comments meant, so he google'd Smash Lingo. He clicked on some results and then happened upon Smash World Forums. It was just an oasis of information and shortly after reading through some threads, he made an account. Three months later, in August, Pyroloserkid already had a rough grip on some advanced techniques. These including SHFFL'ing, WD'ing, Dash Dancing, etc. After practicing his new advanced techniques on his friends, his mindgame quickly developed. His combo's started shaping up, and the advanced techniques just seemed to come to him.
A fellow SWF member, TyrantWolf, after Starfurry 2007 said to Pyroloserkid: "You have a good mindset and interest for this game, I like that. keep that drive and you'll get somewhere with this game. Time + Effort my friend, it's what'll get you far in this game. Keep it up" . After hearing this from him, Pyroloserkid decided he wasn't that bad and the only way to get better was to keep competing.
Now, Pyroloserkid attends every tournament he can in the area, and takes losses as a learning experience.
Brawl wise, Pyro's mains are Olimar and Pokémon Trainer, but he's an all around Brawler.
