Why did you start playing smash

[EPsilon933]

I'm the biggest NINTENDO fan I know.

My brother rented Smash64 one day. Then I rented Melee shortly after Gamecube launched. Then I bout Melee sometime in May of 2004. I can never fathom why I didn't just buy it after the rental expired.

First played melee when it came out, thought it would be a cool buy, but i didnt really enjoy it.

I only got into it after going to my first brawl tournament a couple of months ago, I was playing the best in UK and was like WTF! I had no idea any of this was possible, so i ditched brawl and went all out on melee training. That was for me the best thing about brawl.

haha, best success story ever. see people, brawl can be useful! by showing awesome people the path to melee :D

everyone knows why

so tell.


i started playing smash because it looked cool...and all my friends had it

when i was 7, i loved the mortal kombat and street fighter games. I was a fighting game nut

so when i saw a comercial on TV about a new nintendo fighting game with mario, dk, fox, etc, I couldn't not buy it.

So I bought it that year.

Because Chuyi was questioning my manhood.

 

[DtJ Jungle]

LOOOOOL Chuyi was my first sensei.

 

[SKy Angel]

The reason why I did. It was because I saw all my favorite characters. x3 (Plus I saw fox. XD )

 

[Stratford]

Chuyi is a cutie puff. Legendary Fox.

Ugh, as "unique" as it sounds, I was introduced to Shined Blind.

haha, same here.

Well, that at least got me into competitive smash. I started playing back in 03, and used Roy's PH1R3 until I saw that..

 

[~Zack~]

I started thanks to my friend
He owned the original and since then i was hooked.

 

[POKE40]

had the first smash. Saw melee. Rented it. LUV'd it
I saw melee as amazing just like it is today

 

[Luccie]

I started with Brawl (lol fail), and it was super-hyped, so I decided to be hyped too. Then, my brother wanted this game, so I had to agree to get it with him :|.

 

[Geist]

lol this thread
I got it the day it came out along with my gc
I never played competitively until 07 because I completely failed at using the internet for anything useful.

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

Has anyone looked at how old this thread is?
BTW i started because of the SSB on the N64. and I played that because of Pikachu duh

 

[♡ⓛⓞⓥⓔ♡]

I instantly liked melee when I first played it but when I heard about ATs years ago I was totally blown away.

 

[Geist]

The first match I played, I was Bowser facing a Peach, link and zelda on mute city.
Items on, 7 stocks. Cousin's basement, on December 3, 2001, around 6 p.m. We had pizza for dinner.
extra cheeze, cut into squares on paper plates. Pepsi, not Coke. I played on the purple controller I still use now.

 

[Hazygoose]

Pepsi, not Coke.

you, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

 

[Stratford]

First vids I watched were Ken vs PC MLG NY 06 Grand Finals. Pretty **** stuff.

 

[teeman92]

mainly because i got a gamecube for christmas along with melee. i started to have fun playing my brother all day, once he started a 45 win streak, thats when i ran here for help, i could not tell if i suk, or need to know more. so, after 2 years of "so-called trolling"(everone remember my rapid topics on losing?) ive improved ALOT but i still get knocked around until i quit and move on to do something else. i HATE losing and not improving, its pointless to play someone and never get better. and yah, i just got whooped today >_< one of the reason i dont play melee with anyone as much. i stil have short lived fun though

 

[Sybawave]

Why is there another one of these threads lol I think the mods are getting lazy again

 

[teeman92]

Why is there another one of these threads lol I think the mods are getting lazy again

theres two of these?! i assuming thatwe ran outta things to talk about

 

[Just Sexed]

Wound of the Wind was the awesome video that got me playing my may-lay.

 

[-ACE-]

About 3 years ago 2 of my roommates at the time were playing a good bit of melee. The game looked way to fast and complicated for me to have fun with them.. but after I tried it I was instantly hooked.

 

[`DNS`]

Oh, also that adventure speedrun thingy SuperDoodleMan made.

It's still awesome.

 

[Sybawave]

There was like 3 (I know of) or more of these topics lol everyone is just too lazy to go find it and post there and so they make these all over again
