My name is Daniel De Leon Aguilar and I play Fighting Games competitively. The Fighting Game Community (known as FGC, a branch of eSports) knows me by my gaming alias: Doombase. I play Super Smash Bros. and Street Fighter. I started out my competitive career playing Super Smash Bros. for Wii U in 2015 and I’ve been enjoying it.
The newest edition of Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, was announced in March of 2018. Around that time, I decided to hang up the controller after making myself known as one of Austin, Texas’s top 10 players.
I fiddled around a lot with other fighting games like Tekken, Marvel vs. Capcom, BlazBlue, Mortal Kombat, and the list could keep on going. I decided to pick up Street Fighter for a while and I gained a lot more knowledge/fundamentals of fighting games. I feel like this part of my life taught me a lot in the subject of fighting games; branching out to other fighting games was like learning a new discipline.
Ultimate was released in December 7th 2018. I picked the game back up and started playing Smash again!
Since the very first day I started playing, the fighting game community has always been welcoming. There are always new players wanting to learn the general concept of fighting games. I have helped a lot of players learn how to play and I want to continue teaching people. After teaching those players, it felt good to let my knowledge out there from my point of view. With this blog, I hope to help new, curious and upcoming players get into fighting games without making it super difficult.
As a player, I’m still learning. I usually watch my past matches on YouTube or I’ll see clips on Twitter of other people doing some awesome stuff in-game. Those two media platforms will help a lot while creating these blogs.
