Smash Names

[UlyssesTheTrojan]

I was just wondering how everyone got their melee nicknames, or aliases. I've come across some pretty interesting ones, and it would be really cool to know how they were started. I got mine from a school play, I played Ulysses. I'm not sure if there has already been a thread like this, its just really interesting in my opinion.

 

[Comrade]

During a long night of smash play, we (shaka, ihavespaceballs, lupin, jartravius) started shouting that ganon's fair is "a sea of hitboxes." Pretty soon, Jar started shouting "The tide is coming in" whenever i landed a string of fairs.

Add in the fact that i'm a student at the U of A and wah-la: Tide.

 

[Dr Peepee]

I thought I was gonna suck forever when I started smash, so I just wanted a funny tag so people would laugh when they thought of me.

Sure I was called dr peepee for spilling orange juice on my pants in 7th grade by this guy who picked on me a lot, but does that really matter?

 

[Madtsunami]

My cousin was da bess in my eyes, and i saw his chathandle one time.

DarkstarTsunami: badass incarnate, yeah?

Guess what my first email was lol

BUt this i just one of my many aliases i go by a billion different names

 

[Bing]

Bing is just the name I use on here, but At tournaments I go by JediInABox.
I got this name because i wanted to out-do my friend Nick, whos Xbox live handle is Panda_In_A_Box.. is I thought... whats more badass then a Panda? And Jedi is what I got. >

 

[Shadic]

"SEXY," from Link's taunt. Also appropriate for when I was playing Pink Falcon.

..And when I played Jigglypuff, I had to use the headband. It's pretty hot.

When playing, people who walk up to the game go "Who's sexy?" and I can say: "That's me, thanks!"

 

[TheZhuKeeper]

Last name!

Damn I'm boring.

But at least this way everyone knows I'm Asian.

Yet somehow people got the impression I was a white dude.

!!!

ZAHHUUOUUUUUUUUUUUUOhAWHHHHHHHHHHHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhAAAIOIUUUUUUUlovageUUUiiiiiiiiiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuPPPOOIPPPEEPEEEEEEEEhhhhhhhhhhOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[INSANE CARZY GUY]

Because my last name is too epic. Really I don't care what people call me as long as they are respectful I've had so many crazy nicknames it's dumb.

But I've had people call me HAD because that's the tag I always use had to do with my names and I couldn't keep putting my name down as ash and anthony is always to long for the name box for other games. Also at the time I was depressed shortly before that was the last time I ever saw many of my friends ever again including my best friend ever. Plus I was getting beaten up by a lot of people and started paininting in my blood very depressed I was in 5th grade.

HAD is a tag I like.

but INSANE CARZY/CRAZY GUY i've used both at tournments. I was swearing from mental problems and everyone called me crazy not like a nickname and I figured just crazy guy wasn't good so I added insane and it was crazy insane guy no howabout insane crazy guy

I failed at first to make my name cici's pizza I recent;y tryed achrioches amazing little fish saltier than salt.

But in truth i''m uncomfortable with people calling me anything other than crazy or Hodapp my last name. I don't know they just seem even nerdier when saying it XD. OMG it's INSANE CARZY GUY. People like to freak out about me and be like wow you're mellow. I'm extremely mellow and also wild with engry and have been known to randomly start screaming crazy s***. no i'm not bipolar I could flip whenever I feel like it simplly I sandbag when I talk so I try to be mellow when i'm playing.

 

[TL?]

When registering for smashboards, I first typed the letter 'T', followed by an "L", and finally a "?' to finish things up.

 

[Grump]

^
I see what you did thar

My original alias spawned from a bout of just goofing around, then one guy made a win-claim (Stating that if we weren't just goofing off, he'd win every match). So I took him up on it. When my cohorts saw me concentrating (and not smiling at all, which is HIGHLY unusual) they said I looked like a grump. So from then on, whenever we started playing more competitively, they would always say "Your turn, grump." in a mock-jest.

And there we go :D I adopted it as a personal name and it's worked great ever since.

 

[Violence]

I started getting serious about playing the board game Go a few years back, and I had mostly improved solely on self study by doing lots of close combat problems from books. As a result, my style was retardedly aggressive, in a game that requires finesse and self control.

I went to Japan to visit family, and played at a club up there. Beat an old man horribly three times in a row, and he was so pissed he just got up without clearing off the board and walked off, shouting to the other players how I my style isn't to play the game, that it was nothing but mere violence.

He meant it as an insult, but I took it as a compliment, that straightforward, simple violence could win games sometimes, and I liked the ring of it. So I kept it as my nickname.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I got mine from like middle school. My I was thinking up some tag to use for like SC or D2 or something, and my friend told me Sveet. I thought it sounded cool at the time and when I joined the boards I was still using it.

 

[billywill]

To be honest I don't know...but I sure there was some reason. All I know is that I came up with billywilly back in 2000 and around 2002 I changed it to billywill.

 

[MattDotZeb]

old e-mail -> matt.zab@comcast.net
friend misspelling of it -> matt.zeb@comcast.net
his sister seeing matt.zeb and laughing and calling me that -> his gf hearing it from his sister and calling me that -> her friends hearing it and calling me that -> etc
It's an actual nickname of mine within a certain group of people outside smash players.
*shrug*

That's awesome.

 

[GroovyGreenHat]

When I was very young and just playing games by myself or something, I used to just use my first name for my character. At some point (9 or 10 years old) I decided to change that to Mr.H, mostly because I thought it was funny to watch the NPCs say things l like "this is my nephew, Mr.H." I'd also do things like name my pokemon rival "Lance," then boast to my friends about how I beat "Lance" with a level 5 charmander, but I digress. When I first started Majora's Mask, I was feeling impulsive, so I made up a new name on the spot. "Pocket" sounded sort of cool for some reason, but it needed more, so I made it "Pocket Z," which I still use here and there. Once I started entering situations where my gaming name would be seen by an entire gaming community, I decided to make something new; "Mr.H" sounded like I thought I was better than others, and "Pocket Z" just didn't sound right for some reason. I decided to go with GroovyGreenHat; it is from the fact that I use the word "groovy" in everyday conversation and I always (and I mean ALWAYS) wear the same green unmarked baseball cap. I still use my old "Mr.H" tag when playing melee, though. Partially for nostalgia, partially because it fits in the meager 4 spaces they give you.

 

[Pi]

first i was kniht
and then i started using the SWD! tag to remind myself to use this game breaking technique more
because knht looked stupid as a tag
and then i namesearched superwavedash and nobody had it so i gave 3$ to the site and was like yo change my name to this you stupid mod
and they obeyed

actually first i was poop cause i used the tag poop in maplestory
bad game, don't talk to me about it, **** nexon
but second i was kniht yea

 

[Codi]

Codi ----> first name

=[

 

[Cobalt]

I adore the color blue. I first came up with this name because I wanted something that encompassed all of my interests. I settled on "Cobalt" because it's the name of a shade of blue, the name of a car I like, and the name of a chemical element (I take an interest in science).

I play blue Falco and only blue Falco. I am pretty much as blue as possible.

However at every semi-major tournament I go to, people always ****ing confuse me for Col Bol. There is no L in the first syllable of my name. It ends in a T, not an L. How do people do that?

 

[Roneblaster]

I started out as Renegade of Funk.

then i tired of typing all that out so I switched to Renegade.

Then one time on Dust 2, i was afk @ the start of the round (I was terrorist) and when i came back i pushed B and jumped off the side of the ramp infront of B entrance room/hall thing and one-shot Headshot'd my clan-mate. and he was like "well dayum Reneblade look at u"

and it just stuck.

 

[N64]

i thought i was good at ssb64 back in the day

[ETWIST51294]

[Nø Ca$h]
