Gaming Tiers are the Lowest
My brother introduced me to videogames when I was four and I have been playing ever since. The game, Super Smash Bros., was both my first game and my favorite game, and it still is to this day. Super Smash Bros is a unique fighting series with popular Nintendo characters as fighters. The characters I play are Ganondorf, Roy, Rosalina & Luma, Wii-Fit Trainer, Jigglypuff, Mr. Game & Watch, just to name a few. You could say I’m a bit of a gamer.

I had to try to convince others to understand that tier lists in gaming should not be followed as if it were the law. There is more than one way to play a game and have fun.
