[edit] About me
I am currently a college student at the University of Saint Thomas in St Paul, MN. I am 20 years old, and am planning to graduate in 2010. My concentrations of study are in Psychology, and Electronic Music Production. My dream job is to be a Forensic Psychologist. I am a huge fan of metal music, especially orchestral and industrial metal. One of my favorite passtimes has always been playing games, including console, pc, card, and board games. The first game I was ever serious about was Yuri's Revenge (expansion of Red Alert 2). This game was the first one in which I regulared an online forum. After that I played a lot of Halo 2, but when I ran out of my subscription to Xbox Live, I began playing smash.
These are some articles in which I have made significant or entire contributions. I hope to soon start contributing to more globally meaningful articles as well.
Please let me know if there's anything you like or dislike about my pages, anything you want me to change, etc. You can do this by adding a comment on my talk page, or by shooting me an email or instant message (see contact info).

[edit] My best characters
| 1. Falco |
| 2. Fox |
| 3. Donkey Kong |
This list represents my ability with the listed characters. I ranked them in my own opinion of my skill with said character. I recently removed a bunch of them from the list because it's gotten to the point where I can play almost any character to a certain degree of decency. These are my top three.
My first main was Samus, this was back when SSBM first came out and I only played with my close friends. When we unlocked Falco, I found his fsmash carried you accross the stage, for convenient spamming. He became my main then, and remained until a brief period after I joined smashboards where I mained Captain Falcon. This was mostly due to watching Tapion play. After a few months, Falco returned to being my main.
[edit] Favorite Smashers
| PC Chris | Falco, Fox |
| Bum | Donkey Kong |
| Darkrain | Falcon |
| HugS | Samus |
| Bob Money | Doctor Mario |
These are my favorite smashers to watch, in order. I am a youtube whore. A good amount of time that I spend developing my smash game is spent sitting in front of my computer analyzing smash matches. The players listed all have great tech skill, as well as great mindgames that contribute to their games. This balance has always been one of my top priorities in smash. I try to pick up as much as I can from watching the videos, and then see what does and doesn't work for me when I play with others.
[edit] JS's SSBM tier list
| Tier 1: Sheik, Fox, Marth, Falco |
| Tier 2: Peach, Falcon, Jigglypuff, Samus |
| Tier 3: Doc, Ice Climbers, Donkey Kong, Yoshi |
| Tier 4: Ganondorf, Mario, Luigi |
| Tier 5: Y. Link, Roy, Pikachu, Zelda |
| Tier 6: Link, Mewtwo, Bowser, Ness |
| Tier 7: G&W, Pichu, Kirby |
This is my opinion as to what the tier list should be. A lot of this may be biased by the smashers I play with a lot, but oh well. I think Sheik is by far the easiest character to play well with. She also has the easiest combos, good recovery, and is fast as shit. Fox is also incredibly stacked with combos and speed, but since he takes a lot more skill, I put him lower. Marth has a huge sword, enough said. Falco's got lasers and has sweet combos. He takes some tech skill to be good with him, but has shitty recovery. Other notable entries would be Donkey Kong being pretty high (seriously guys, he owns), Yoshi also pretty high (Thanks to Seanson), and Mewtwo (Thanks to Tonji).
