Who has a tradition of always picking Mario first?

[FoxMaster77]

Who else besides me has a tradition of always picking Mario when you first get a Smash Bros. game? Mario is just my favorite video game character of all time, and the first game I played was Super Mario All Stars. Even though Mario doesnt end up as my main (that title goes to Meta Knight.), I still pick him first out of respect. Sooo... anyone else who follows this tradition?

 

[geemann2236]

When I started Melee, I felt that Mario was too "uncool" of a character. If I dislike every other guy in the game, I may try playing as him in Brawl. I've heard that he's better, yays. But I still don't want to play as him.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Judging by the fact that his stats are balanced and that I am a Mario fan myself(even though I prefer Wario), I always uphold that tradition.

 

[Glinth]

I'll probably play as him first, but not because he's my favourite, I just wanna get the feel
of all the old characters before I play the new ones... Maybe I'll do it in chronological order...

Mario
Donkey Kong
Peach
Bowser
Link
Zelda
Ganondorf (Unless he's unlockable)
Samus

And so on =P

Same here. ^___^

I always pick Mario first, but I don't really like Mario at all (as a character. I love his games).

I pick Mario because that just seems like the best way to feel out the game. He's supposed to be the "all around" character, he's Mr. Nintendo, he's arguably "the" main character of the game if there is one at all. The way I see it, it's almost like all the other starting characters are mentally locked for me. And I have to play through as Mario in order to unlock all of them.

 

[Sonikku]

As a Legend of Zelda superfan, the first character I always play is Link. Hands down, guaranteed, always. It's a tradition me and my friend have made for ourselves, and our first match in a new SSB game will always be Link vs. Samus.

 

[Kazydai]

I picked Mario first for Melee. I keeps it real.

 

[ledhead]

I'm gonna pick Mario first. Even though I'm gonna main Issac, if he gets in, and Kirby.

 

[dantemasta]

Never picked him first. In 64 I picked Link first and in Melee it was Bowser. This time it's gonna be Pit.

 

[Got Blood?]

I picked Mario first for smash bros. and melee as I will in brawl.He's my favorite video game character of all time and my main.

 

[brandutt845]

Yep. I always pick him first. ALWAYS LOL. But this time I want MKnight.

 

[SpitFire15]

I picked Mario first the last two times, but this time I'll proabably start with Link or Sonic (and save Mario for later).

 

[XACE-K]

I'm picking either Mario or hopefully Captain Falcon.

 

[Mario-brawler]

Me. Since he has a higher KO ability noe he is my main.

 

[maxieman]

First one im picking is fire mario then dark link

 

[smashbro29]

first thing mario in red overalls and blue shirt the original look it rules

 

[MysteriousSage]

I do.
SMB was the first game I ever got.
I'll choose Mario first simply out of tradition.
Then I'll main Pit.

 

[Silfa]

I will for Brawl. It justs seems sort of right to me.

I played Bowser first for Melee because the first gmae was in a department store and I was like "Woah, Bowser's a character?". As for SSB, I honestly can't remember, it was so long ago.

 

[Super_alex2]

I do, he is one (if not my main) of mains, so i Think I'll go with him first.

 

[Meta_Knight_14]

My brother and I will probably play a team match first honestly. I'm not sure which of us, probably him, but one of us will play Mario first simply out of respect. We look at Mario as the guy who launched the Nintendo corporation and paved the way for all the other great games and franchises Nintendo has brought us.

Hehe... I always choose Mario first... It's a habit.

 

[SmashWolf]

Mario's a great guy to be using when you want to get used to the game, and I also just do it out of tradition. So, yes in my case.

 

[Rick88]

Mario is my fave character and have always used him in every smash. So yeah I have always used him first out of tradition.

 

[pass the syrup]

I am gonna go left to right through all the characters in Classic to see which one I like. So yes. Mario first.

 

[A2ZOMG]

There is a very high chance I'm going to start with Mario in this game, and not just that, I'm probably going to main him along with Pit. I mained him the two other games, and used him as my starter. I'm a loyal Mario fan, to me, he's the best video game character in all existence. I'm ESPECIALLY likely to use him considering how he's very likely a top tier character from the news we hear so far. Mario freaking deserves to be top tier in Brawl. He's Mr. Video Game as we know him today.

 

[Loooooni]

I do he is of corse the most classic character in the game IMO.

 

[Yoshi_dude]

i own with mario and Link but ill pick mario first cos he cool

 

[DiabolicScheme]

Oh yes, definately. It's kind of like tradition for me and as it seems for many of you. It just feels right, I dunno.

Plus, it kind of seems like he's pretty well rounded for players who are beginners to smash. You can't really go wrong using Mario first, time through clasic or something, I think.

 

[Not A Naruto Wannabe]

No. To me it doesnt really feel like tradition. I probably will be playing him sometime because of his balancedness and b/c i like variety, but there are other characters that I will surely start with. (MK, Pit)
But i do see where it could become tradition...

 

[Shock the Hedgehog]

I don't remember if I did it with SSB64 or SSBM, but I know I will with Brawl, I even plan to main Mario which is all the better.

 

[kin3tic-c4jun-3]

Galaxy has revived my love for the character and series. I may just choose Mario fitrst from now on as a homage.

 

[ness4life]

I play as mario the very first time that I start a smash bros. game.

After that first match, i test out the new characters.

 

[Frogla]

I played Mario thru Classic Mode on SSB64 and Melee dont know if i will with brawl

 

[chefman470]

lol his my first guy to choose.

 

[Wiseguy]

Since the SSB64 days, I've always mained Mario. I've switched to Doc as of late, but I will surely return to my plumber roots come Brawl time.

 

[WarioII]

thats probably what im gonna do to mario is well balanced thats why i like to start as him when i play a smash game

 

[marioiswaiting]

wow ya i always pick mario as my first. But then on i go and try the other guys, but mario is my main because i rock with him!!!

 

[Your Hero]

The only Mario I plan to play as first is docter mario. I know he wont make it in, and that's the reason i basically won't be playing as mario first lol. I'll most likely start it with pit, then I'll do adventure mode, then look through gamefaqs on how to unlock everyone, and then I'll see the rest lol.

Edit: lol if I play as pit then do adventure mode, I'll be choosing mario over kirby so he'll be played as second for me -_-

Ohh the irony..

 

[Lgndknight]

Mario is always my Secondary. But I use him to unlock Jiggs
