Smash Brawl Blog

Hello, everyone! This is the first post of many, on a daily basis by myself and three crewmates. Although we have no readers now, this post is filed under general, which is generally site-wide announcements and the like.
I’m mooplet, after which this blog is titled, but that’s just because we chose my pre-existing domain name as the place to put it. The other three members of our crew are probably going to wind up contributing the same or more than i do as far as blog content.
Each of the four of us will have a subdirectory, steelkangaroo, rigapeen, and torrent are my best friends and co-authors of this blog, but some will contribute more than others in different ways. These personal blogs will contain bio info and might not have to do with brawl, but will definitely have email contact and Wii Friend Codes that you can add to play with us on wifi.

Allow me to talk for a bit about the conception of this blog. Because we started playing melee professionally in late 2004, there was already a huge community of well-seasoned vets and we followed daily the excellent community of smashboards, learning as we went to tournaments and watched videos. However, i realized that when SSBB hit the states (march 9) there would be massive opportunity to teach as well as learn. If you consider that we plan on being professional players, there ought to be some crowd out there that would read a blog written by us daily, about advanced and tournament-level play and strategy. Composed of short FAQs, guides, and videos of each of us playing and critiquing our own videos, the site will both follow our own development as advanced players and serve as a good resource for aspiring competition-level players to read.

I want to have at least one post per day, and if a post is an embedded video with commentary, it will be mirrored on my youtube page and magnify page, if it is a guide or an FAQ about a technique or character then i will mirror it on smashboards and backlink to here. There is a lot of work to do on this blog, and with the release date coming up in 5 days (midnight) all of us will be working to style these pages and change a lot.

I’m still not sure anyone is reading this except google bots, if that.

Edit: We are attending midnight release and will put up pictures and initial reactions in the morning, if we have enough energy left.
