i have a bad habit of running out of the stage at random moments... and then being really surprised when i respawn so i stare at my character until it falls down...

and i think i adjust my glasses everytime i lose or take a stock...

oh... and i for some reason started doing smash attacks with the c-stick and z...

Okay I KNOW this is weird but ever since like 2008 I developed this really strange habit when playing smash. It pretty much happens whenever I am really flustered or frustrated and in an intense match, if I lose a stock off the top and know I have a few seconds because of that and the invinicibility platform, I attach my black dragon dildo to the top of the gamecube or wii. I then lower my *** upon it fully whilst humsinging Every Rose Has It's Thorn. I know, weird right? I then shed a single tear from the pain (though I've gotten used to it) and go on with the match invigorated and inspired.
i luled ^.^

Every time I KO my opponent, I end up hanging on the ledge before I realized my character moved.
After my opponent's invicibility wears off, I scream at myself in my head for not coming up with a better method of avoiding the invincible opponent after all these years. It's become a tradition of mine.

It doesn't seem like a quirk, but I can't stop it. It happens EVERY TIME I take a stock no matter how much I try to resist. It's really pissing me off that I can't stop.

Also when I waveshine, my middle finger creeps towards the part of the controller that houses the thing that vibrates the controller (don't know what it's called), and my pinky sticks strait out.

Try light shielding at the edge of a platform and hold off the ledge, the only thing they can do is grab you, but they have to be spaced out of the range in which they push you. If u think they are trying to grab you you can jump or shield drop (if you are that technical) and if they try anything else they push you off. that also works mid match to, like if you recover high with fox and land on the plaform you can buffer your light shield by holding Z, and if you are near a ledge and they attack you; you can BAIR as soon as you get pushed off, and punish them with the bair. There are other times in which you can set that up, not just on recovery =)

I have a tendency to hop up and down in my chair when I lose a stock, and at the same time I also nod or shake my head quickly.

It seems I move around my tongue when I'm in deep focus with Melee. I sometimes forget this. (I mean I have my tongue in front of my front teeth when I'm trying really hard)

Whenever I do anything stupid, I yell "This GAME" because a friend of mine always did that and it just stuck with me. Damn game, screwing me up
Whenever I do a **** combo, I pause and forfeit the current stock. I hate myself for this.

My legs twitch like crazy...
I always carry a towel so after I destroy someone I can offer it to them to wipe all the **** off their chests... I wasn't aware I did this until like a week ago when my friend pointed it out to me
That's lovely. And awesome.

when i'm preparing to jab > dsmash, and after i jab, i pull my finger, cstick, and arm inward as fast as possible to make sure I get that dsmash as soon as possible.

i also drop my head hard when i make very dumb mistakes.

I haven't played Melee in a while, so I forgot them all.

But I play 64 with a PS3 controller (which has a terrible analog when you're accustomed to Melee/Gamecube), so I exaggerate my Up Smashes (I sometimes end up doing Jump U-Airs...) and press certain buttons way too hard.

Whenever I get knocked toward the blast zone I start spam clicking jump and lean back, as if afraid of the blast zone in person. I also lean and scoot forward gradually during the current stock, then scoot back and sit *more* upright when I die. Whenever I do a moce I want to land reallly bad for a cool combo I move the controller around, usually a jerk downward, usually yoshi shffl fairs or jiggs rest. I also look at my oponent a lot, between stocks and after the match.

When I play Yoshi, my most common line is, "how does it feel?", i.e. "how does it feel to be beaten by the dumbest character imaginable".

When I play Samus, whenever I do a skick (side-kick?) I say "kick". The guy who trained me did this whenever he messed around, and it drives people up the wall, especially when done repeatedly.

When I play Link, and I up-B in a pinch, I stand up. I don't know why, but I do.

Idk if this is a quirk or not, but it is incredibly funny when it works.

DJnicholasRAGE really likes to charge smashes. If he does and it is going to miss he lets it charge to full and then hits the controller in his left palm like he is clapping with it. It has made me run into a fully charged smash one to many times. Dude has some other funny tricks i've never seen anyone else try.

Dude is mind-gamey

In tourney, when I do a standing pivot grab, or when I grab my opponent after reading their dodge, I lift my right leg followed by left leg, then slam my right foot on the ground followed by my left foot. It's a recent habit.

For a while, if i was being comboed and trying to use survival DI, I would curl my toes to the point where I would pull a muscle in my feet

i still do it sometimes...

Lol the end made me cry :awesome:

But for me I always yell "pro choice, bro" if my opponent does something dumb... trying to change it to "pro decision, bro" as to not spawn abortion discussions mid-battle.

Bad joke of the day: what do spawn killers do in their spare time?
Answer: they preform abortions

I yell "LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE" when i get smashed off, until i die or get out of hitstun.
I do it when I up/side b and there's no way it will reach.

I also yell "DIE DIE....etc" when I smash my opponent off.

I sometimes yell "hit me!" when I know I won't be able to reach the stage/edge :p (usually if we're both off-stage and I just messed up an edgeguard or something)
