This statement is also false. Mario is actually Luigi's brother!
*points at the word trivia*

Here's My Trivia Questions. Note some of these are ridiculous. Actually, a lot of them are, and a lot require A TON of smashboards and smash bros. competitive scene knowledge, as well as a lot of smash bros. knowledge in general. So yeah-good luck! ;)

Bonus 3: I was a member of over 10 Brawl "character support groups".

Answers to my trivia question (select and scroll to reveal goodness; BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!!):

1.
False. It's actually around 200%

2.
True. I think it starts around 350% or so.

3.
True. His name is Bob Woodward, and he also voices Wolf.

4.
True. Link's can cover all of Final Destination, whilst Toon Link's only covers half of Final Destination.

5.
False. Toon Link is one spot below high tier, or the highest ranked mid tier character, if you will.

6.
False. He's the best player in Canada, and is arguably the 2nd best smasher 64 player in the world. Isai is hands down the best smash 64 player in the world.

7.
False. Ganondorf does that (which does 1% if I'm not mistaken), whilst Captain Falcon does not).

8.
False. It has only aired 40 "episodes" when I first posted this.

9.
False. There was a Mic for Brawl topic and if I'm not mistaken a McFox for Brawl topic, but never a kirby kid for Brawl topic. Speaking of which, what in the name of Smash happened to McFox=??? o_O

10.
True. The exact number was 131,579 the lasttime I refreshed it. That makes Smashboads the biggest smash bros. site, hands down, no competition, with no other site anywhere near as close.

11.
True. McFox's was the most viewed and most posted on until about June or so when Wiseguy's thread went from dead two months ago to brand spanking new and alive, and got A TON of momentum, and passed up McFox's thread in posts, and a couple weeks later in views. I even made a video or two, in which I partially dedicate them to Wiseguy. Speaking of which, I miss that old Wiseguy. Hope he comes back in a few years for SSB4 speculation. That'll be the day! :D

12.
That is a true statement.

13.
The said statement is true. After Smash World the Smash World Melee page was made.You can go look them up on these boards now if you want proof, or simply look it up on smash wiki.



14.
False. Smash Wiki was made in 2006 if I'm not mistaken, and was first announced on "The Smash Boards Podcast" back in 2006.

15.
True. It was recorded pre-E3, with the 2nd being recorded post-E3. Episode 1 was titled "Pre-E3", whilst Episode 2 was titled "Post-E3".

16.
True. If you got this one wrong you are a dumb a**.


17.
False. The tournament Ken first won and entered is the answer the to next question. "Game Over" was his 4th tournament win.

18.
True. It today is seen as the birth of the modern competitive scene, was Ken's first tournament and tournament win, and started a gigantic movement that many of us are a part of today. It also brought smashboards to a more mainstream audience and whatnot, and made smashboards what it is today.

19.
False. Matt Deezie coined the term (the Godfather of smash bros. tournies who hosted "Tournament Go4", amongst others), along with "Sex Kick" and "Chain Throw" (and somewhat inspired the term "Chain Grab").

20.
True. All is Brawl is now the biggest smash bros. tournament hosting site, whilst tio and it's prgrams runs tournies, and make it simpler (and from what I hear fun) to run tournaments.

21.
Sadly that is true. He "retired" 4 years ago in 2004. However, he handled smash tournies very professionally, brining smashers a world away over to have the best smash bros. competitions possible. He was and always be a legend of smash. He deserves a 9,0001 Gamecube controller and Melee copy salute for his greatness. God bless him...and his awesomeness! :D Always...and I MEAN ALWAYS REMEMBER THE MATT DEEZIE FOR HIS GREATNESS!!!

22.
False. It has sadly gotten only 4 episodes. MAN THAT THEME SONG IS CATCHY! XD

23.
True. The first 3 episodes aired in 2006, whilst the last in 2007 if I'm not mistaken. The last one aired a while before E3. "Show Me Your News"' creation and "better format" is seen as a reason for it's ending, along with the toughness of getting 3 guys who aren't used to doing a podcast on a certain time period/scale/whatever (I know how that feels), and having to live up to that pressure. Plus SMYN. Youko is too good.

24.
False. He secondaries Fox. After all, ALL OF US USE FOX, whether we know it or not! XD Also, I mispelled Sheik on purpose! XD

25.
False. He is seen as the best Captain Falcon Melee player in the world, the best SSB64 player in the world (with every character), the best Melee team player in the world, and is currently the 7th highest rated Melee player in the world.

Bonus 1:
True. Melee is the best-selling fighting game of all-time, selling about 7.10 million units, and Brawl is set to surpasss it.

Bonus 2:
False. At the time of this post the last reports of Brawl sales were about 5.25 million units.

Bonus 3:
False. I was a member of no more then 5-7 of the said Brawl character support groups.

Bonus 4:
False. They were made in 2001 if I am not mistaken.

Bonus 5:
False. I am the only known person to offer him a friend's request. He currently (at the time of this post) has no friends, sadly. C'MON PEOPLE! SHOW THE MAN SOME LOVE! Seriously though-add me as a friend, all of you. It makes you cooler (and vice versa! :D). Spread the love to our main man Gideon right here with a friend's request and a nice comment >>> smashboards.com/member.php?u=2 (add www. in front of that, and copy and paste that!!! TELL GIDEON YOU LOVE HIM!!!).

If you got even half of those you are pro, let alone any more of them. If you got even 3-5 you are good. ;)

Yep, that's all I got...for now. The wrath of Johnknight1 may strike again...if you are unfortunate enough to be struck! MWYHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
