I think that the OP wanted to know about any interesting stories for where your nickname came from, not just what it was... I could be wrong though.

Anyway, one day after a normal VS. match we were checking out the number of kills we each got on each other (getting 4 out of 5 kills on someone is considered "hunting" in free for all and is dishonorable unless it's necessary). For P1, it lists the number of kills as: P2: 1, P3: 2, P4: 0, etc. I had seen it thousands of times before, but that day I came up with a funny idea.

After that match I went in and made the name P2. Then, as long as I'm not actually player 2, everyone sees P2 twice on their kill count. It can really trip some people up! It also lead to other jokes such as "you hunted P2!" when they get 4 or more kills on me and player 2.

Then of course the movie P2 came out, and even though I haven't seen it, it makes me want to change my name. Maybe I'll be P3 in Brawl!

I'm hoping I can fit BitBit.
If it's only four letters you could put BtBt, or if its 5 you could put Bt-Bt or BitX2.

I'm not really sure what my name would be, I always have alot of trouble coming up with a good name I like, I might go with Otter, since it's my favourite animal, or Core, seeing as I love the game Armored Core, or maybe something else I haven't thought of yet.

I call people who don't have any fun when playing Smash "Pro-bots", off of the words "professional" (because that's what they claim to be), "programmed" (because they always use what all "pros" use), and "robot" (because they seem to have no emotions).

They are the kind of people who don't talk, smile, or laugh during matches, and smirk when they lose.

Oh, and I call noob players "Smash Babies".:laugh:

I hope my terms don't offend anybody; I'm just pointing this out.:)

The first tourney I went to, I was people knew who I was, and called me metalluigi, and I kinda liked it. My gamer name will probably be either MetlL, or just plain Metal, hoping that not too many people pick that name.

Hoss

from Nickelodeon's Doug.
LOL!!!! Wasn't that Doug's clown name? :D


Anyway, in melee i used to go by "HAYS", since that's my middle name, but I later switched to "OH."(cause I go by Oh Gibdo for most of the forums I go on)

Now that Brawl has five letters, I might change it to "GIBDO" or go back the original but spell it like "HAYZE" or something.

I've used Miller (which is my last name) for as long as I can remember. Since I have a common first name, and I hang out with people who share my common first name, everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) calls me Miller.

For Brawl it may be "MILLR" or my initials.

My general gamertag is Andromeda. Most people I play with just call me "Andro" when they chat with me. In Smash, I use "ANDO".

Everyone calls me Hitzel (like, in real life, not just in games). My Melee name was "HITZ." In Brawl I might change it to "HITZL." Not sure...

Very few of my friends call me Myth, because that was my 4 letter name in Melee.
Sometimes they also call me "Sis" because when I play Ganondorf, I give him that name and I go around giving Black Magic "Hugs" to all the people on the stage. :)

Although nobody knows my nickname, I will hopefully make a name of myself as "S0crat3s" (pronounced "sock-rhet-EES"), but my four-letter name is usually "HYDE..."

i made a name on melee called NOOB and i used it all the time and my friends just went with it. I am not a noob trust me. Only one of my friends can beat me, but me and him r pretty even. Its supposed to be a play on the word. we thought it was funny, u prolly think its dumb, its fine.

I used to use Alex but last year I got a lot of nicknames, begining with aleps, then eileps, then welex, and after that "wex". In melee I used Wex, cause I hate how the others sound with only 4 letters. I think in Brawl I'll keep it, cause I'm used to it.

I sadly have never settled upon a single nickname besides my real name (Adam), but my friend goes by VEC, which is his initials, but has kind of stuck as his nickname when pronounced as a word.

I used to go by the alias of LyteSkye, but that was quite some time ago. Now I use this one (huzzah for using words spelled backwards)and I'll probably "SUOIN" for Brawl, for Melee I used "SUIN"
