Ok, this is a short guide on how to best use this sub. None of these are rules, just some tips and advice. Think of it like a user manual.

Hey, did you know that if you have a Wii U, you can friend request someone? If you don't though, read on...

1. Have a (somewhat) unique mii name

To increase the chances of people being able to find your name, have a unique one! Don't go with a common 1st name like Alex or John. The end of the name is cut off on the 3DS, so remember that when you make your name.

2. Make your post title concise and informative

Cecil (G&W) vs Majora (Dedede/Ganondorf) is a great start. Having a short complimentary/informative sentence afterward is also nice and very much in the spirit of this sub. At the very least, include both of your mii names and a character from either of you.

3. Use the search feature

Instead of trawling through pages for your name, a simple search is all that is required. Tick "limit my search" and there, you've just found (or not found) your name. It also helps here to have a unique name :D.

4. Tell your friends! (if they play for glory)

Every person that checks this subreddit is a potential connection. So it sounds dumb, but get your friends to check this. All they have to do is a quick search for their name (10 seconds) every few days.

5. If you have some good games with someone, POST!

Naturally there'd be nothing without people making posts, so take the plunge and put it out there! The more posts, the more overall chances for connections :)

So that's about it. Best of luck making your connection! If anyone has any more good advice, comment on this and I'll add them to the OP.
