-Well, I've already talked about Geno, my cat, here. Reader's Digest version: saved a dying kitten the day before Smash Wii U, coincidentally wiped out all the money I had set aside for everything I needed for it (game, adapter, multiple controllers). Named him Geno because he was presumed dead when he was given to me but he seemed to come back to life if by magic after being in my arms for a few minutes. Plus it was literally Geno for SSB4. God, now I'm choking up at work... Moving on.Jeez.. just under 30 pages until we pass the Brawl thread in size. This is absolutely crazy.
What is your favorite memory regarding Smash Bros.? Anything.
-Sleepovers with Smash 64 in middle school and all nighters with Melee in high school.
-Winning my first casual tournament in Melee with Pichu by landing a home run with the homerun bat on a Captain Falcon.
-The Brawl speculation days in general. The E3 06 trailer blew everyone away and the possibilities seemed endless. Fans are a lot more jaded now. Of course, there was the Geno Portfolio, the creation of the Geno Alliance, and my trip to Nintendo of Japan during that time too.
-Sneaking around in the dark in the early morning to access my parents' computer on August 1st, 2007 to be greeted by Ike, the first newcomer after 14 months.
-King Dedede's Brawl reveal. Sat and listened to his Kirby Superstar theme on loop for like an hour and a half afterwards. The second character of my all time top 5 that got into Brawl (Geno, Megaman, Wario, Dedede, and Ridley).
-E3 2013. Villager was a character I had given up on back in 2005 so his reveal was extremely satisfying. Megaman was my second most wanted character since Melee so, again, extremely hype. Wii Fit's reveal was a brilliant troll and I remember the moment I knew I had to decide whether to love or hate the character. I'm glad I went with the former.
-Winning Smash tournaments in the first half of 2016 to pay rent, get groceries, etc. Wii Fit and Villager were my primary mains in Smash 4 and it was cool to be "that guy" when I showed up to tournaments. Aside from a doubles tournament, I never dropped a local in SSB4's lifespan.
Rapid fire responses:
Best character reveal: Wii Fit/Megaman
Best game introduction: Brawl
Most unexpected character I came to like: Ike/Bowser Jr.
Worst reveal: Rosalina (stopped watching halfway through)
Biggest Smash disappointment: Lucario
Most faithful main: Mario (main in 64/Melee/Brawl, secondary in Smash 4)
Deepest cutting cut: Ice Climbers
