Hi there!

If you’re seeing this page it’s likely I met you at an event and handed you a business card with all my socials, and a link to this site. For everyone else that just randomly stumbled upon this site, or got here from Twitter, welcome! This is just a space for me to document my journey as a competitor. Below is a carousel of my recently published articles ranging from tournament recaps, and how to improve as a player to whatever stories I feel like typing up.

Who the hell are you?

My tag is MonkHB. I’m a smash player with tournament experience dating back to 2006. I’ve been a bystander of random events of smash history and have been, for the most part, a very middle-of-the-road player. My goals are to improve, make some connections, and make a bit of a name for myself…even if it’s just that weird guy that handed out business cards with his blog and socials on them.
