Pro Interview: M2K 1-21-09

With the man, the myth, the legend Mew2King​

MK

Falco/Snake/Diddy/Wario/Olimar/DDD/GW among some others are right after that I think. I don't know an exact list I just know MK is probably the best but not by that much and I know all those characters are also really good and close after him.

Welcome to the very first Super Smash Past article! One of the coolest things about Smashboards is that its posts chronicle the long and exciting history of competitive Smash. Within the heart of this site lies little wonders and insights to the history of our scene and how mindsets can change over time.With this first Super Smash Past we take a look into the public archives , only available on Smashboards, to see a special interview with the one and only Mew2King. Originally posted by @MLG_JV the interview had questions asked by several site users and took place back in January of 2009. This was not even a year after Brawl's release where the game was very fresh and Mew2King was dominating the scene. Readers will be able to see how much has changed in only six years.As the formatting used on Smashboards has changed over the years we have taken the liberty of reformatting the interview for easier reading without altering any of the contents. To see the interview in complete unedited form with the comments from back in 2009 check out the archived post here . We hope you enjoy this journey through the past of Smash!: What's your biggest driving force in competing in tourneys? Money? Competition? Fun? Being the Best?: What are your plans for the future?: What's the most important tactic to learn or prepare with before a tournament? Is it mind games, execution, reaction time, or even something else?: When was the last time you played a 4-player FFA with items on?: Who do you think is the best player in Brawl except yourself? In the future what one player do you think has the best chance to beat you in a tournament?: Would you drop MK for somebody else if he turned out not to be the best? Or would always keep him at least as a 2nd?: If you could change some thing about the game, preferably to make it more balanced what would it be?: Did anything in particular inspire you to get good at Smash? Or were you just like this game is fun so I'm going to play more?: What could you say to those of us who long to be in your position and are trying to get better at Smash? Any training tips?: What should the character tier list look like, in your perspective?: What is your most common or aggravating mistake within your competitive play?: Is there another char that u play with that you think is on par with your MK?: I over heard that you entered a MK banned tournament and placed 5th is this true?: What exactly 'runs through your mind' when playing brawl against a very formidable opponent?: M2K, you are thought of as the best Brawl Player in the world. Does this make you feel like you have a huge target on your back and that people go for you to attempt to take a game or even stock off of your MK because they want to boast that they did that to the best? If you think so, how do you feel about this?: How do you feel about your life outside of smash?: What other games do you play besides Smash?: How long do you think that you will be in the professional scene?: Since you are planning on making games in the future, what kind of games would you like to make?": How did you get into the competitive Melee scene?: Did you audition for any reality shows since Ken has been on survivor?: What was you greatest gaming moment in Smash and outside of the Smash franchise?: Did you have anyone you ever looked up to, and if so, who?: No not really I just kept wanting to be better than the next person even though I started really late.: How many tournaments did you attend before you began placing well?: What's your favorite stage in Brawl?: In Melee or Brawl, have you ever felt like you hit a certain point in which you had trouble getting better? How did you push past this and continue improving? What would your advice be for players who are stuck at a certain skill level and can't seem to push past it?: There are a lot of "good" Smash players but none are nearly as dominant as you. What is the fundamental difference between you and the other top players. Ability to read people? Fast fingers? A strong drive to win? IS there a difference?: What's your favorite restaurant, and what do you order from there?: How do you personally view Falco vs Meta Knight?: Do you agree that Sheik is actually the best character in Melee?: Seriously, What happened to Ken, Pc Chris, and Korean DJ? Husband and Wife?: If I hugged you would you hug me back? O__O: Do you have any lucky charms you bring with you to tournaments?: No.: Do you consider yourself the world number one Brawl and Melee player? Have you or are you considering taking trips to places like Japan to vs their best?: What's your favorite hoodie?: What is your current view on Brawl? Is it a competitive game that will be successful into the future, or is it simply riding on the initial momentum built from its release?: What are your goals in life?: Is it lonely at the top?: Who could you see yourself using in the lower tiers?
