My story [less interesting, less cared of]:
One christmas, Cory [it's ganon, koorii, my brother] and I recieved a nintendo 64 with only one game. Super Smash Brothers. It was a fun game, but nothing either one of us got into very much. We both went back and forth winning, and eventually bought StarFox 64, and only played that. Because of StarFox64, we both got tired of Fox ditto's constantly whenever we did play SSB.
Eventually, much later down the line, we had a gamecube, a copy of Super Smash Brother's Melee, and seperating desires. Some of the local kids [namely Fitz, It's Ganon, and Gum] would play it casually. My brother was into video games and manga, I was into cars and girls. Eventually, I noticed a pattern of me being ***** horribly. I didn't much care, didn't much enjoy the game.
Around the same time, SpiderMan 3 was about to be released. I wanted to go to the midnight movie release, and talked my brother into going. Apparently, we were going to stop by a guy's house. His name was Otis. I didn't care, I took a book with me, but I didn't end up reading it. We got to Otis' place, and too many people were packed into the small appartment [condo?] and they were all playing Smash. I thought those guys were all losers. I watched some matches, and even poked some fun at some people, but eventually, I sat in solitude, attempting to read the book while everyone made too much noise.
Fast forward.
My buddy Sam, my brother, and I all went out to House Of Eggs to get some eats, and we mostly talked about our Spring break. Cory's was less eventfull, while Sam and my spring break was overly exciting, filled with sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. We discussed music, and Cory just wanted to talk about Smash. Sam and I were much more interested in punk shows and alcohol. I eventually made a deal with Cory that if he joined me for a show, I'd go with him to a Smash fest. Was that a good or a bad thing?
I showed up, massively early, to Toasty's Epic Madness Volume 3 [?] fest, and played Gears of War most of the time. When I did get in a match or two, I got four stocked. I don't think I took one life. Except off my scrubby random friend we bumped into at the epic journey to 7-11. I got him to 2 stocks, then Otis 3/4 stocked him in what could have been called a set. **** was priceless.
After that, it's all history.
