Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Yeah, it's a lot of fun just messing around. I haven't done For Glory because the players there are too much better than I am (isn't fun). Of course, every for fun match I've done always invariably has a bowser in it (bowser must be like really good or something).
I'm trying to play at a decent level but I'm horrible at fighting games. I usually play strategy or RTS games competitively. I can also league at a decent level. Just not fighting games lol.
There is actually a really wide variety of players on For Glory, I currently have 8-3 W/L and I don't really consider myself good at all. There's no matchmaking or ranking so really it's just chance if you get a good or a bad player.
