Smash Names

[Dark Paratroopa]

If you don't already have a smash name, what do you think yours will be in Brawl?
If you already have one, what inspired you to choose that name?

 

[Dizzynecro]

are they still four letters only or is that not confirmed?

 

[lookatthatbaconsizzle]

I usually name myself COFF, and I don't know why. I also like FUGG

 

[Darkurai]

KRAI. It's two syllables, k-rai. Kurai. My real-life nickname and inspiration for my username.

 

[Dark Paratroopa]

It's five letters in the screenshots.

I always wanted to use Bones as my smash name, because that's my rpg name. But the 4 letter limit was always an issue. Sakurai is being really inspecific about whether you can do 4 or 5 letters as your nickname in Brawl. On the tournament screen it shows a ton of names that are exactly 4 letters, with none that are more, but on certain screens (the wifi one is an example I think) it shows 5 letter nicknames. I think that a 1 letter difference is a big deal for some people.

Examples

This one shows Wifi as having 5 letter nicknames.

This one shows no 5 letter+ nicknames

This is another example.

And this is the one I wanted to talk about. Basically the cursor for the input of the letter is almost exactly in the middle of the box. That makes it seem like if you could have two letters on one side of it, then you could have two letters on the other.

This is all speculation.

 

[crush_T_asain]

i want twitch but thats 6 but i could also be tic(twitch in french)

 

[ZenJestr]

Zen....

occasionally "..."

 

[maxieman]

my name will be Bizam

such an epic name

 

[Kentalish]

if i cant get Kentalish then K13 cuz Kent is my first name and 13 looks like a b wich is the biggining of my last name

 

[WiiLittleMan]

In Melee, mine was always SKLZ. I guess I just thought my friends would get a kick out of it, and then I started actually using it as my main name. I don't see any reason to change it for Brawl. It's kind of my thing now. (It's also one of the few usernames that the taunt, "What's my name?" is actually fun to use for.)

@SKLZ: You could always add an extra letter or two, and make it SKLLZ, or SKILZ or SKULLZ OF REVENGE. or something.

Yeah. I'll do that if you can have five letter names all the time (meaning not just online). Otherwise, I'll probably just stick with four letters.

 

[Dagingabreadman]

Ginj, short for Da gingabreadman, my real life nickname

 

[miller483]

I might do MILLR, or BTM16 (my initals and my age)

 

[Orbinas]

Since I didn't really go to tournaments (my location isn't ideal at all, but I'm moving soon :D) mine will be either of the following:

Orca
Trip(p)
Next(!)
Orbi(n)
1ton

I'm very indecisive, which doesn't work out in my favour.

 

[TheSpoon]

Spoon, because it stuck from previous games.

 

[Super_alex2]

Online I'll go with Voodz. why? cause its fun to say

 

[Burninator]

I've been agonizing over this decision for a while. I may go with BRNN8 online, since we get 5 letters, and everyone will recognize me, but I really don't know what I'll do for a real name. I could go with Nic (my actual shortened name), Burn is kind of weird, and I don't want my new name to be a Homestar reference anyway. Needs to be... different.

I'll be back after I think about it. For now, enjoy knowing my Wi-Fi name.

 

[PaperLink]

if it HAD to be four letters, PAPR.

 

[HeltXL]

If it's only four or five letter limit, I'll stick with HELT - It's all of my initials with my names in English.
If there is a whopping six letters, it would be HELTXL - Refer to HELT, just with XL on the end (it's been my alias since I was 8).

 

[Silent_Jester]

Jay (My nickname)
OZON(E) (I used it in Melee)
S_J (So you guys from SWF will recognise me)

 

[lookatthatbaconsizzle]

One of my friends' names is TATR and another one's name is PU*S, I just thought I'd throw that out there.

 

[Raptorbite]

My name will be the longest variation of "El Chupacabra" that I can get, so probably "Chupa"

Then again I think "chupa" means "sucker" in Spanish so I might just go with "Raptr"

:D maybe I could use "Lchup"

what if you could only use 4 letters...?

 

[TheGrim]

In Melee I used Grim 'cause it sounded scary at the time. Maybe if there is 5 letters I'll change it to Grimm 'cause 2 M's look better. Or maybe rawr...it's funny kinda.

 

[Sonovin]

I usually use AFC
Sometimes just V

 

[Raptorbite]

what if you could only use 4 letters...?

Then I'll go with GBSE (goat blood sucker extraordinnare)

 

[EpicE]

I dont know, something gay prolly.

 

[Meow-Mix]

Funny, I never paid attention the character limit for nick names. I would prefer my nick to be Meow Mix, just like in my online DS games. I guess I'll have to settle with Meow! or MeowX or something.

 

[Sprigginz_Caldo]

I always use SPAM. Spam is awesome. ^_^

Either that or SPRIG.

 

[Superninjabreadman]

Ginj, short for Da gingabreadman, my real life nickname

You stole my name! almost! grrrrr.

Just kiddin ^.^

 

[Pengie]

For any name I will either use my initials JC or I'll name myself after an animal like I did here.

 

[RPGsFTW]

Wang, I hope it's not offending anybody, because it is not that kind of Wang. It is as if it was a cool Japanese name.

 

[lookatthatbaconsizzle]

You stole my name! almost! grrrrr.

Just kiddin ^.^

You should use SGBM! You know these 4 letter nickname things remind of those little code name things (correct me if I'm wrong) on halo 3. You know, the ones you see if you look at someone from a distance?

 

[Knyaguy]

Knya, if we have 4 letters or 5. I was born in Kenya and thats the only original name I could come up with.

 

[poncho_mcshoe]

"Camo." An abbreviation for my usual gamer tag.

I think it's worth noting that we usually avoided using names at all in melee, but with the control customization in brawl, we'll pretty much have to. Turning off joystick jumping is too good.

 

[DeChTu]

I never used it in Melee (in fact I didn't even notice it until AFTER I beat the game, got all the characters, etc.) However, I would probably use Dex, because that is the short version of DeChTu and I usually use it when I play games anyway.

 

[PaperLink]

My name will be the longest variation of "El Chupacabra" that I can get, so probably "Chupa"

Then again I think "chupa" means "sucker" in Spanish so I might just go with "Raptr"

:D maybe I could use "Lchup"

Acutally, "Chupa" just means "to suck", as in the action of sucking. Take it from a mexican

 

[Blobulator]

I'll probably just end up using "Blob" ... as I pretty much do for everything, heh.
