All Hi. I'm Coney, Smash enthusiast/Smash bad boy/Smash heartthrob. AMA

Hey. I'm Coney. If you play Brawl, you probably know me for my DDD. If you play Project M, you probably know me for my Wario. If you play Melee, you probably know me for being GimR's weird roommate.

I've been playing Smash since 2009, starting with Brawl, moving onto PM, and now finally to Smash 4, with a tiny gap in the middle to take a shot at playing high-level League of Legends for realzies.

Lately, I've been taking a small hiatus to pursue my other love (stage acting), but I'll be coming back at Smash 4 strong in February. A few weeks ago I got 13th/128th at my first Smash 4 event at Xanadu, the fifth or sixth time I picked up the game. After an insane amount of donations (shoutouts to the ever-affluent donators, you guys are insane), I was also able to order a capture card to be able to stream For Glory and matches with viewers very soon. I hope to be coming back to edge my way back into the commentary game as well so really, just expect to see me more, for better or worse.

Until then, if you're interested in Project M Netplay or really just gaming in general, I play a variety of stuff on my stream below. Sometimes it's PM, sometimes it's Binding of Isaac, sometimes it's something sp00ky, and sometimes it's a pigeon romance simulator. So come chill.

I also have a Twitter but you may not want to follow that but if you do here it is!

GimR requested one of these (weird, right?) and people seemed receptive so...here we are. Your move. AMA.

[In accordance with Coney lore, I'll be answering literally any question except one: the forbidden question. All questions related to the forbidden question are, by extension, also forbidden, so don't get cheeky.]

What has been your favorite role in a play?

Nick in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Was always one of my dream roles. Got to perform it at a small in-the-round theatre, so I didn't have to overact anything. Usually when you're on a proscenium, you have to act for the back row, meaning you have to overemphasize things and make character decisions blatantly obvious. For instance, my character was a boxer at one point, so I would continually crack my knuckles throughout the show at opportune moments. It was a small space, so the noise of the cracking would be pretty jarring and punctuate certain lines. At intimate venues, you can afford to play closer to the chest and hide your motivations, which I think leads to a more interesting performance.

I also got to make out with a 60 year-old woman on-stage. Good times.
