This is going to shock people, but when I first played Brawl... I wanted to get Jigglypuff asap because y'know, this was before we knew she was F-tier material and I planned to soley main her. I thought beating classic mode would get me her (I got Falcon instead ) and the first character I picked to do it was..................
Red Meta knight. Shocked? In retrospect I know I am. How did I pass up pink, I even looked through all his colors... but it was red MK who won my heart initially.
edit: I think the reason why I like pink now, is because I never played a Kirby game or watched the anime when Brawl first came out so I had no background info on MK. Also this was right when the game came out and tiers didnt formulate yet.
I now know Metaknight is an honorable, taciturn, calculating servant of DDD; and he is the best character in Brawl. So to me it's funny seeing him in pink. Imagine a pink Melee Fox. Hahahah I would use that too!
