Link to original post: [drupal=3929]Why this will always be my favorite game [/drupal]
Lately I've been trolling offline Brawl. I can only play Brawl on other Wii systems, so I jump at the chance to play it whenever it arises. I have really missed being able to play this game...
So anyway, here's two humorous anecdotes:
1) My friends and one of my friends' cousin was playing, and I had an evil idea. The cousin had played maybe twice in his whole life, but I saw he used MK. My friend is a Ganon main, and out of my friends, he's the best. Manipulating events so that they would want to 1v1 each other, I told Blake to hand me the controller mid-match. Gage didn't see it, and being the prick I was, I nearly 3-stocked him, and quickly gave it back to Blake, the cousin. My friend was furious and confused. How could Blake have done so well with so little experience? Several matches, and much raging/trolling/johning later, his other 5-year old cousin caught on to what we were doing. But seriously, it was so funny. We changed MK's tag to Pimp and Ganon's to ***** while he wasn't looking, and Blake was a super awesome troll and kept saying, "You're just mad cuz I'm better than you."
2) I have this sort of rival in my hometown. She's a girl who's pretty good at Brawl, and uses all the huggable and cutesy characters. She even played online quite a bit. My friends hate playing her because they usually get knocked out first and then she and I duke it out while they wait. I conspired with them an evil strategy that would make it a little more fun. We all picked Ike, and our target was Lizzy. (The girl rival I have... Yeah, I know, it's so manly to beat up a teenage girl in a Nintendo game.)
Lizzy had unknowingly made the worst possible choice in characters: Jigglypuff. Only one word could describe the CARNAGE that ensued... Fsmash. Not even a minute in, she had been instantly KO'd after getting hit almost simultaneously by three Ike fsmashes. When she finally hit one of us, a fsmash would come out of nowhere.
She ragequitted, and a fit of laughter soon followed.
It's moments like those that truly remind me just how fun this game is, and why it will always be my favorite. You'd think doing the same thing over and over would bore me, but for some unexplainable reason, it's still fun for me
TL;DR: This is the only game that has actually held my interest for so long, and that's why I like it.
