I'll just mention everything about this list, and How I avoid being a nOOb because of it:
1: This is thankfully avoided, thanks to Melee. If I heard of Ganon from somewhere else, I might actually be screwed, but Melee set me straight.
2: I also Say Ridley's name wrong until I heard how you pronounce Ridley Scott's name (The same Ridley Scott who directed Alien which served some inspiration to the Metroid Series, and thus serving as the source of the name of the infamous space Dragon).
3: I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS SERIES EXISTS IF IT WASN'T FOR SMASH, YOU'D THINK I'D KNOW THE GAMES UNTIL A FEW YEARS AGO!
4: Thank you Sakurai
5: Again, I've never played the game (outside the demo) so I wouldn't have known unless you told me to.
6: who are they anyway?
7: I would be among those who'd have a hunch that there were 3 (that and I didn't pay attention to the shield). I AM CORRECT!
8: Thank you smash, again
9: Until 2007, I could have, But I didn't become active in this game until 09.
10: I know that They are supposed to make a Metroid movie, and I know that Metal Gear is also supposed to have a movie, but Zelda, not really...
11: Outside the weird design (Link has abnormally long hair) and the memes (If it's not "the cake is a lie", I'm already am annoyed by it), I don't have any complaints
12: I would honestly be among the people asking "how do you beat this guy?" if it wasn't for anything telling me that you can't (like this site).
13: Again, not being an avid fan until recent, I'd honestly make that mistake, until Wikipedia.
14: Did somebody here say that there was no timeline when we were talking about a timeline? Whoever you are, you are now poned by this newbie
15: OK, outside the Wii early on (which was called the Revolution FOR REAL until Nintendo decided to change it's name), I haven't called anything by it's code name.
16: Good thing I got game informer, their april fools is just their own parody
17: I've never heard of the movie,and I doubt anything was inspired by Tom Cruise except a possible increase in Scientology converts, and while I am accepting, I don't convert to anything except agnosticism.
18: Yeah, considering that people didn't believe that Mario and Sonic would be in a game together on Mar/25/07 (Mario and sonic at the Olympics), so I'll have a hard time believing these things too.
19: Never heard of it
20: OK, I get it, Wii ain't as great as gamecube, but I kinda wanted a Wii game, and I ran out of good options.
21: OK, this is the invisi-rat thing, not the Cannon room thing. I'd either find out on my own, or consult some sort of guide.
22: Like I am a good judge of these things
23: Zelda in the future, when **** freezes over (and I'm not talking about Hel Michigan)
24: I came from being a Metroid Fan boy (in 08), I understand long waits better (Hey, try waiting 8 years for a game), and I don't know what Steampunk is either
25: FOR THE FINAL TIME! THANK YOU SUPER SMASH BROTHERS!
