Why do you pick up SSB/SSBM/SSBB?

[GangsterPuff]

Here's another thread I posted due to boredom, why do you play the SSB franchise? Tell me all about your story. Oh yeah, and warning to people who vote for "it is my love" this isn't what you think it is.

I started playing the N64 version back when I was ~4. My dad owned a card shop, and we had a console set up for people to play with. I played Melee basically every day with two people that lived across the street after it came out. Got brawl right when it came out, and have played it every now and then.

Which ones your favorite? My is brawl.

Been playing it forever.

Heck, my dad was the first one to teach me that certain characters were better then others in fighting games, he would always choose fox/pika and I would always be Jiggs/DK as I liked them. He certainly was much better at the game then I was.

I've been playing the franchise ever since I bought Smash 64 as a child. Ever since then, I've gotten hooked to every one of the games, and have practically played them every day at some point since around 1999.

Personally. I enjoy Melee out of the 3, but since I'm too lazy to go out and fight other people, I'm stuck to online Brawl.

Overall, I do like Brawl the best, if for nothing else the character selection and subspace emissary. With nostalgia glasses, I do like Melee, as it is probably the one I've played the most, and is the only one where I've won (or even entered) a tournament. The original is fun to mess around in, though. I like how Pikachu's aerial slows the frame rate.

Lol, I just hope I had parents like yours.

I'm a 90s kid, and i got introduced to smash really late, sigh, now I can't even get my hands on most of the classics.

It was due to him that I became a gamer. Little things like that can inspire a lifetime of smash ya know?

I hope whoever voted for"cause it's my love" know where they are going.

I'd say there is a good chance that they are going to local and regional tournaments.

Are you joking or serious? Don't you get what "my love" mean?

Yes, it is a joke.
Also, this is the second time I've been asked that question today.

My parentss are Asian, which means work from day to night.

The site highlights links orange (see "second time" in my previous post). I had said that Donkey Kong was the best counterpick against King DeDeDe.

I played Super Smash Bros games since original N64. I've been a big fan of the franchise ever since. I was interested in Playstation All Stars Battle Royale (Sony Smash Bros), but I didn't like the gameplay (use supers to kill your opponents).

I saw a melee demo in the store. It was Yoshi fighting Pikachu, got a Gamecube soon afterwards.

So you brought a GameCube just for SSBM? That's hardcore.

 

[NovaSmash]

First time I played a smash game was in 2009 and that was ssb64 on an emulator. I have been playing ssb64 online ever since (If you wanna know how to play ssb64 online, check out the ssb64 section)

Well also for Pokemon and Zelda but Melee was what I was most excited about.

I never know you can play SSB64 online, does it work on wii shop?

Pokemon game? What Pokemon game is that good for the GC?

Just a friendly reminder since I've seen you do it before (nobody really tends to care unless it is on a busy thread) but you're not allowed to double post. Multiple quotes and responses can be put into one post to avoid that.

my dad bought me 64 version. I had no idea about the franchise he would always pick my games for me when I was that little and he knew I loved the mario series so he got me 64. I learned how to play 64 on my own and mainly used mario and luigi. I just got instantly hooked. I just kept my love for smash.


I have this problem where as soon as a new version of a series come out (for most fighting games only) I instantly move on to the next best thing and forget about the old game unless one of my favorite characters is in the old one but not in the new one (for example B.B. Hood in MVC2 but not in MVC3). I did this with Melee to Brawl. I played Melee almost everyday before brawl's release waiting everyday for it to finally come out. I didn't know all the cool stuff u could do in Melee or Brawl till I went to my college (UNF), and to think I had a smashboards account before brawl got released but never bothered to look into the info about Melee and lost interest in it and thought(and still think) brawl was/is the better game.

I recently been picking up Melee again trying to learn all the neat ATs u can do in it and trying to get good with Peach, ICs, and Jigglypuff.

I'm mega hyped for E3 this year in June cause of the screenshots and info about the next smash Nintendo said they would show.

I'm 21 as of right now till June hits and I have no intention of quitting smash any time soon but I don't intend for it to be the focus of my life, nor do I take tournaments for smash to seriously. I just try to go out and have fun and be a happy little pot filler :3.

 

[finalark]

Because I was eight when Melee came out and didn't know any other fighting games existed outside of Smash and Soulcalibur.

And more kids played Smash, so the choice was obvious for my eight year old self.

 

[NovaSmash]

You play it on an emulator on your pc. The emulator is called project64k.

 

[FalKoopa]

Why did I pick Smash?
The thought of Mario, Link and Pikachu together in one game just overwhelmed me.

 

[yoshi8984]

I've played Melee when I was very young (like 6 or 7 LOL) and then when I was 10, Brawl came out and I have to say, it is the main reason I still play my Wii. I play it all the time, and while I got into the Brawl scene late, I love the competitive scene and meeting new smashers over my level.

 

[Pazzo.]

Here's another thread I posted due to boredom, why do you play the SSB franchise? Tell me all about your story.
I start paying SSBB because I've played almost every other wii game, and then I realize how great brawl is, then I got hooked on it, and start playing competitive brawl.

My cousins had the first and second, and we were hooked. I bought Brawl because of all the nostalgia that went with the games.

 

[GangsterPuff]

I read all the threads and just realized that I didn't give my reason for playing smash bros. first of all,and most of all, I brought for the adventure mode, then it become boring, so I start to try all the different characters and went to BB, after some painful lesson, I began to own some people and that's when I realize I was hooked to this game. And that's why I play competitive brawl.

 

[Jet300]

I've been playing smash bros since I was a child. When brawl came out, i bought it for my birthday and played it competitve since late 2009.

 

[Deleted member]

I was 9 years old when I played 1st super smash bros.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

The first Smash game I played was Melee. My cousin bought it for my birthday, and I really enjoyed the game. a few years after I saw a poster for Brawl at a DVD and Video Game store, got really excited about it, so we bought it and I played it as soon as we got home. So pretty much Melee got me hooked on it, even though I rarely play Melee anymore.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

I started back in 2001. Melee had just been released in Europe, and a kid living in an apartment under me had the game. Me and my big brother would go down to him and play the game as much as possible. Eventually we got our own Gamecube, just to play more Melee (which later expanded out to Metroid Prime and many other games.) Me and my big brother were both hooked for 3 years, then in 2004 we got into Metroid, WoW and other games, and SSBM was kind of sidelined from there (though that's where my crusade for Ridley as a playable character began.)

Then in 2006 the SSBB trailer surfaced, and the hype was on again. For 2 years we played Melee constantly again, we played nearly nothing but C. Falcon vs Ganondorf matches in those 2 years (looking back at the records of the game C. Falcon won out over Ganondorf with 6 wins *flex*.) The same exact thing has happened with SSBB now, we played it constantly the first 3 years or so, then a little on and off from there, and now we're playing it constantly again in anticipation for SSB4. There's no other game I've played as much

 

[Diddy Kong]

I played some at my cousins, but I kinda sucked at it. Was saving up money for DK64, but I could pick a N64 game as a present. At first I choose... Mario Party. But since the 1 Player mode sucked so badly, I traded it in for Smash. Was kinda dissapointed Diddy didn't make it in, otherwise I would've got it at the release date probably.

I remeber playing Smash 64 as a toddler. My two favorite characters were Samus and Link because they looked cool and had the long range grab. I was like 4 so all I did was spam grab and mash the A button.
