Hey FrozenFire. I've been meaning to say this for a while, but I guess since it's been a year, now might be an okay time. I don't think I quite got the opportunity to fully express what an honor it was to get to talk to you, the creator of Super Bash Bros Ultimate, and hear your praise on Adventure Kid. After playing SBBU a bit last year, I realize that it wasn't the best thing I've ever played, but it's still hard to erase that image of amazement I have painted in my mind from playing it when I was nine. It was the first ever semi-professional Game Maker game I ever played. When I was nine, I really looked up to you as an indie game developer. Playing SBBU gave me renewed vigor to complete Adventure Kid, knowing that it would never be anywhere near as good as SBBU. You also inspired me to after Adventure Kid try to make something with similar mechanics to the 2-Player arena mode of SBBU but original characters and stages, but it very quickly got abandoned because my game design skills were very poor when I was ten. When I was making Adventure Kid, if someone told me that the creator of SSBU would some day play Adventure Kid and tell me that he really enjoyed it, then there's no way I would have believed that person. Yet here we are, with the events that transpired over a year ago. It was surreal, to say the least, when the guy who had just told me that Adventure Kid brought him back to his early days of Game Maker, turned out to be the person who made SBBU. When you first posted the thread here about SBBU, it was late at night, so when I saw the title, I didn't look real closely at the title, and thought it resembled SBBU, but was too tired to check it out. I thought I was seeing things, so I went to bed. But then the next morning I checked it out, and sure enough, that was Super Bash Bros Ultimate. I was kind of freaking out when you posted that thread about it, which is something I really, REALLY don't do very often these days. The guy who just told me he enjoyed playing Adventure Kid turned out to be the creator of SBBU! It was so weird seeing you speak so humbly about a game for which I was completely devoid of admitting any legitimate criticism, addressing as flaws things that, while a bit annoying to me, I never thought to even question and say should be different. Anyway, I just had to say that... I felt like some of those details I let out in my reply to that thread and had to tell you at some point. It's crazy what a small world this is, and it's really been an honor getting to talk to you from time to time this past year. I hope you stay for more time to come.
