Bio
Hello, I’m Equipoise—formerly Sword. I grew up playing Smash competitively and I used to analyze/write here on Amino. Now, I’m an undergraduate student of political theory with more of an on-off relationship with smash. I’m no longer active on this app for the most part, but feel free to work through my archives of essays and guides. They’re not representative of my writing style or identity as much as they used to be, but I’d like to think there are ideas in there that hold their shape regardless of when they were written. If you were bored enough to find this bio of all things, feel free to leave a comment on my wall. I’ll always welcome a hello. Pce :v:

More Info on Effective Practice!
Not a full length post, but if you read my previous piece, On Effective Practice, Then you might be interested in this short video made by Wishes (PGRU #23).
