(Serious Topic)Before Smash?

[Yo$himan]

What were you all doing before you started smash?

Just a little curious, mostly because my life was very lame before I discovered melee.

 

[PGH Carroll]

i was normal kid before melee. lol
i had my n64 and played games like sm64, goldeneye, TONY HAWK!!, banjo kazooie<3 and of course smash 64.
lol and then the gamecube came out and melee was the first game i got.

 

[Fly_Amanita]

I was at a good college before I got into competitive Melee, but then smash warped my priorities at the time and I ended up transferring to a mediocre one. -_-

Actually, if there were a large competitive Armored Core scene in the US, chances are I would have gotten into that instead.

 

[UltimateHaxor123]

i studied all day lol

 

[Keblerelf]

Playing Shattered Galaxy.

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

i failed at life before smash
now i fail at life AND smash =D

 

[victra♥]

I biked, played soccer and swam a lot. So, physical activity during my free time pretty much. xD

 

[Problem2]

probably lived a reasonable life.

 

[Ayatsuri_Rinku]

playing N64. Then i got smash 64. thats it lol

 

[DualCats]

I did nothing of any consequence. Not much has changed.

[Dark Hart]

I was a child who needed an excuse to get away from his parents, then smash happened

 

[Ministry]

Legends of might and magic, Counterstrike , quake various other first person shooters and of course poker. and magic the gathering. i played that a lot.

So..... I guess smash saved your life

 

[JPOBS]

I was really into many forms of gaming and different genres of games before i got serious about smash, now I only play smash unless I play halo or rock band with friends.

 

[Athkore]

I played yugioh >:

 

[Life]

<---- still plays yugioh

Played some WoW, and like normal kid stuff I guess. Picked up Melee, I'm like "ok this is pretty fun" then there was that NP article on it and I'm all "dang this is pretty cool"... and to this day I still haven't made it to any tournaments <___________< I'm workin' on it tho.

 

[M@1funk$hun]

I was gonna go clean my room
but then I played smash

 

[Nihonjin]

So..... I guess smash saved your life

Wut..How..?

 

[hungrybox]

Platformer perfectionist

 

[Zodiac]

Before smash I was ****** starfox64 and I was actually really bad at other fighting games.

 

[Wretched]

Nothing, the first game i remember playing is smash 64.
I'm pretty sure it's my earliest memeory.

 

[Vts]

Halo 2 semi-pro (free stuff but not full pro).

then team went on a wow raid for grand finals for an online championship

10k spending for all 2007 events down the drain, got some sponsors to send me to mlg just to enter FFA to try to get good placement then saw melee.

switched right then just to find out it was dropped and that it was the last event , also got owned in FFA since person on my screen camped me and also his friends someone got in same ffa so they let him win ><.

 

[Jonas]

Didn't really have any friends back then, so yeah, I'm good

 

[CableCho57]

wasnt a big gamer, i mean i had a ps2 but i played it casually. i was BIG on spending any free time i had at the basketball court also watching videos of old games or instructional videos to get better and and1 ballers to learn new tricks. now i watch smash videos to learn new tech skills and matches to learn mindgames etc lol

i also picked up poker competively about the same time i did smash

 

[BluePSI]

I was obsessed by ratchet and Clank ^.^ (and still am, just not as much)
but when my friends showed me melee I loved it, and it fully introduced me to nintendo really, which I am glad for as I also discovered earthbound in 2008, and fell in love with it :3

 

[Rubyiris]

Playing the pokemon TCG.

i've been a smasher at heart since ssb.

 

[NixxxoN]

I used to play a lot of other games.

There are waaay more amazing videogames besides super smash bros, a thing that some people fail to realise.

 

[llamapaste]

Before I played melee I was like 8 so I don't remember. I played casually without AT for a long time.

 

[MikeHaggarTHAKJB]

ive always had various different obsessive interests during my life, smash is just one of them. i used to be into drawing cartoons and i was mad good at it.

 

[omgwtfToph]

Before I was a competitive Smash player, I was a competitive Beatmania IIDX player.

Now I'm more of a "casual" IIDX player, which is an easy hobby to have in Japan where there are machines every few square kilometers. :D

 

[Vonzar the Soulrender]

I just played and perfected games relentlessly. Goldeneye, Super Mario 64. Starfox 64. Now I still play loads of games, I just don't perfect them. Smash isn't what got me into Fighting games but it's certainly my current favorite series. I probably have more of a life now than I did when I played Smash for the first time 11 years ago.

 

[Rooktionary]

Before melee i had just played regular videogames. I had been playing melee almost every weekend just for fun before I went to college and was a complete noob. We used items and played free-for-alls on icicle mountain. I didnt even know that you could change to sheik by holding down A. At college i met this guy (OiL!) who said that he played a little melee as well. He completely rocked my **** the first time we played, and it totally got me into competitive smash. I really can't remember what life was like before smash, probably because it was so bleak and boring :D

 

[Pi]

who cares
i play smash now
that's all that matters
