Your Hypest/Best Smash Moment Ever!

[D-idara]

Smash has always been a series that sparks up much more emotion than other fighting games because of the connection that the players have to the different Nintendo franchises, the concept of Smash alone can make a hardcore Nintendo fan shed a few tears, but I'd like to know and I'd like to share what you consider your best Smash moment (Or best three, that can also count!) I'll share two, one gameplay-related and one content-related.

I remember that I was playing with three other friends on a 2v2 match on Yoshi's Island (Brawl) and we were down one stock, my teammate was Ike and I was Marth, and the other team was Mario and Mr. Game & Watch, the one using Mr.G&W suddenly landed between us and he was about to D-Smash us to our deaths, and we didn't even think about it, we used counter at the same time and I don't really know what happened, but he was stunned and electrified on the air for a split-second and then he WENT FLYING HORIZONTALLY AND DIED. We couldn't contain our excitement, and we also won the match after all, to top it off!

Also, as if the first Super Smash Bros. Brawl trailer wasn't hype enough...I remember when Wario farted and the field exploded, showing the SSBB logo and the Smash jingle. And then the little calling sound effect from Metal Gear Solid, I was screaming like a little fangirl and then Snake went all 'Knowing your enemy's the best path to victory!' and 'SHOWTIME!' ...then COMING SOON.

This game.

This is the first Smash game that I've followed.

 

[SuperMii3D]

Best? I was Mario (FFA Match) and it went down like this: I Meteor Smashed P3, then Footstooled on P2 (And killed him by doing so) and another meteor smash on P4, did up special and recovered to the stage. Best match ever.

 

[Protom]

Fighting a guy as wolf (he used ROB). Both of us at 1 stock, but I had about 90% more damage on me. I grabbed, pummeled, and forward throwed him off the stage. I then jumped off myself, and used wolfs neutral air when he was trying to recover. I ended up pulling us both down, but somehow the game said I won. Was hyper hype since we both though he would win.

Second would be the E3 direct, The mega man reveal had me squeeling, and made it hard for me to focus on the biology regents I had an hour later.

Dedede's reveal on the Brawl Dojo. After the E3 2006 trailer I began trying out some franchises I hadn't played from the Smash series, and Meta Knight's reveal made me go directly to Kirby. I became a huge fan of the franchise, and Dedede became one out of two characters I wanted for the game (the other one being Ridley of course.) I was about to leave for school, but figured I could just check the Dojo before I headed off, and there the fat jolly Penguin was beneath the incredibly hype "New Challenger Approaching" banner. The only reveal that can possibly feel more satisfying than that one is Ridley, I don't think anyone else will be able to match Dedede's reveal for me.

There are way too many great in-game moments, but I've managed some incredibly fun things with Ike, ranging just from cool combos to dragging people down with me with Aether. Me and my brother can also have some really intense fights in Project M with Meta Knight and Sheik, it's almost breathtaking how exciting it can get with two characters as fast as them. We've also had rival Captain Falcon vs Ganondorf matches since Melee, and those can also get really close and have made for some hilarious moments too.

Oh yeah, and I guess the Giga Bowser event in Melee warrants a mention too. Kneeing myself to justice with Falcon never felt as satisfying.

Wario's reveal on the Brawl Dojo. After the E3 2006 trailer I began trying out some franchises I hadn't played from the Smash series, and Wario's reveal made me go directly to WarioWare. I became a huge fan of the franchise, and Wario became one out of two characters I wanted for the game (the other one being Ridley of course.) I was about to leave for school, but figured I could just check the Dojo before I headed off, and there the fat man was beneath the incredibly hype "New Challenger Approaching" banner.

Fixed.

I was playing Brawl's Classic mode on Hard, with 5 lives, using Bowser.

I completed it so that Crazy hand appeared as well. I had managed to keep my 5 lives till that match, but I lost them rather quickly.

But I somehow survived to 482% and defeated both the hands, without using a continue. That's one classic mode I'll never forget.

-----

As for content related one, this is the first Smash that I've been actively following, so Toon Link's reveal takes the cake. I've been quite vocal about no cuts since I've joined the forum, and a lot of users were absolutely sure that Toon Link was a goner, which had honestly made me worried about his fate. Seeing him on that daily pic was a huge sigh of relief. I let out a squeal of joy, to the suprise of my friends sitting beside me.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Fixed.

No. I will never live up to my name

 

[Platsy]

In-game has to be in Melee when I Falcon Punched Giga Bowser offscreen and won the last event. It took so long to finish it and it couldn't have ended any better IMO.

This is the first time I ever really followed a Smash game in development. The most hype moment for me was watching the Nintendo Direct SSB4 trailer since it was on my birthday. That's like the best present I can get.

 

[Cold Fusion]

Taking a stock off of Forward's fox.

 

[Ulti-Bman]

Watching the E3 Smash 4 trailer, of course. In-game? Hmm....probably the time where I fought against fellow Smashers at an after-school event, as my main man Kirby. He were clearly playing non-tourney rules, but I was just happy they were people at school as hyped about Smash as I was.

 

[ryuu seika]

In terms of AI fighting, 4-stocking level 8s and 9s on lightning Melee is less exciting than you'd think and in terms of real opponents, their complaints about Kirby being too good really take away from the satisfaction of a good swallowcide cancel.
I don't really remember any hype moments but I'm totally down for making some with the new game.

 

[viridi]

The First time I beat classic mode on intense

 

[TheMagicalKuja]

The first time I unlocked Ness on the original.

Then there was a time where I was playing free for alls on Melee. It came down to a buddy of mine with Kirby and myself as Game and Watch. We were pretty even, then that fool just HAD to say something to the effect of "it's because you're black, isn't it?" I raged (not seriously) and beat the s*** out of his Kirby, to the amusement of everyone present. One of my other buddies made a commemorative jpg of the occasion--alas, it's lost to nothingness.

I think someone had a JP copy of Brawl, and I wound up immediately taking to Lucas and winning against a rather good player... who was also Lucas. It was great stuff.

And I can't forget the Sonic reveal. I was hype for days.

Beating Tabuu with my cousin after numerous attempts.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Taking a set off of a fairly notable player in our state a few weeks ago.

 

[APC99]

I'll state my top 3:

1. I was at my friend's house, and we did nothing but play Melee that entire night. The best part of it was the first match, 1 stock each, Mushroom Kingdom II, he was Falco and I was Ice Climbers. The announcer screamed "GO!" and I jumped forward, and he unwittingly footstooled me and had gained a KO in less than 2 seconds. We laughed for hours.

2. Playing against a fellow Smashboards user (@Mega Bidoof) on Brawl, and choosing Rainbow Cruise. He was Wario, I was Marth. A rolling crate spawned, and I jumped onto it and used the Down-Tilt. The entire match was basically me on a rolling crate smacking Wario into oblivion.

3. (THE BEST MOMENT OF ALL) June 11th, 2013. Just got home from school in time for the Smash Bros. trailer, and summer vacation had officially begun. Unsuspecting me watched as the Blue Bomber appeared and made me freak out. I jumped and screamed, I waved around my pants, I chugged a can of grape soda, it was not only the end of middle school, but the start of my video-gaming passion; from that point on, I joined Smashboards, began interest in the history of these characters, found a hobby in game design, everything became a lot more fun. With that reveal, I showed my little brother it later, and watched him nearly poop himself. It took me at least 3 weeks to comprehend that Mega Man, my MOST WANTED NEWCOMER, was finally in. So I decided to follow the game and see what else was in store. Maybe a bit too religiously, but I don't care.

Getting Brawl at midnight from the holllywood video gamecrazy store, both of which are now one big empty building.

I was in 6th grade on spring break when Brawl came out, I had spent about 4 hours waiting for it at midnight, watching movies on my ipod, and my mom brought my brother, sister, and I all McDonalds (since it was about 100ft from where I was at). I ate that mcdonalds up, eventually got brawl, and went home. When I got home, I cracked open a monster assault drink, while my brother hooked up Brawl, and my sister watched. The first thing we did was play a multiplayer match on the Norfair stage, since it was random. My brother told us to at least use the wiimote+nunchuk to start out with. I was Fox, my sister was Zelda, and I think my brother was Link or Ike.

We had a somewhat decent first match, and at the endgame screen, my brother pauses, looks at us and says: forget this, where are the gamecube controllers at?

We all then played Brawl from midnight until 5AM when we all crashed and fell asleep...greatest night ever.

 

[Kapus]

Defeating a tournament player (melee1, or at least I think he plays in tourneys) in a 3-stock match in Brawl, with him as Snake and me as Peach. Felt good about myself.

My most hyped moment was probably Mega Man's reveal, though. He was my most wanted newcomer right behind Lip at the time, and during the Brawl days he was my very most wanted newcomer. I rewatched that trailer like 20 times after E3 came to an end (and I still go back and watch it every now and then).

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

With Fox: D-throw, tech chase, Shffl Dair, waveshine, U-throw, Shine Bair, F-tilt, drop through platform waveland to edge, shine spike, game.

Other hype moments:

Every time I shine grab or shine bair
Darkrain combo
Ken combos
Waveland double shine grab
Ledge techs
Playing Melee in General is hype

 

[Vintage Creep]

Sonic in Brawl. Nothing can top that.

Unlocking Mewtwo in Melee without knowing he was in it (and being a 10 years old) is a close second.

 

[SonicMario]

Sonic's reveal for Brawl for sure. I was smiling all day when that happened.

 

[Pazzo.]

Biggest Hype for SSB4:

I was at a public library when the SSB4 trailer was released, so I had to watch it on a cruddy old computer. While it was loading, I went to IGN to see if they had a better video, and I saw the hair. I started to get hyped, but I closed the site and watched the cruddy stream instead. Then, at the end, MEGA MAN. If it wasn't a library, I would have screamed.

 

[9Volt]

Playing Smash Bros 64 on my friends house. I was a huge Sony fan but when I saw Mario VS Pikachu VS Link VS DK my heart broke. I want to go on his house just to play this game and I asked everthing possible about Smash Bros. My dream was to get a N64. Just achived that in my adult life :/

Getting a Gamecube with a Melee for my birthday when I was a kid. My first match was Bowser (me) versus Fox (my brother) on Onett.

Little Mac reveal was big for me too.

Man...I just want to play Smash 4.

 

[CardiganBoy]

Unlocking Ness in Smash 64.

 

[LightningVance]

As someone who still remembers picking up his teal Game Boy Colour and Pokemon Blue about 15 years ago, being the only game I still have to this day (how does that thing still work...) my signature should speak for itself

 

[Shikenshu]

My hypest smash moment was at evo 13, watching the finals there was just amazing!

 

[Dark Phazon]

Stories like this are truly magical i can feel the passion in these posts it warms my heart.

 

[weegee2407]

Me and three friends doing free for all on Summit, I accidentally bring out the fish, I dodge the fish and my friend (playing as jigglypuff) ends up doing a rollout from across the stage right into the fish's mouth as it falls. We had to pause and laugh for like 5 minutes.

 

[Jaedrik]

I JV-5 stocked 5 random lvl 9 CPUs in a row in P:M. I felt like I was flowing and brimming with energy afterwards.
With other people, though, I did a hype combo with Doc in Melee and transitioned directly into another one on the other player in the FFA match and K.O.'d them both.
Other than that, on wifi I 360 Warlock Punched three people at the same time while riding the gale boomerang.

 

[The Real Gamer]

With Fox: D-throw, tech chase, Shffl Dair, waveshine, U-throw, Shine Bair, F-tilt, drop through platform waveland to edge, shine spike, game.

Brah the vast majority here probably don't know what half that stuff is just stop. xD

But yes Melee is extremely hype.

My favorite moment and match was when a friend and i were having a fight on final destination. He was Snake while i was Olimar. We were both down to our last stock, both quite high percentage. I noticed Snake pulled out a grenade and i ran up and grabbed him. Noticing he dropped the grenade and knowing about his cooking, i waited three seconds then used my up throw. My timing was perfect- the grenade went off right after my up throw ended, sending both of us into the sky. We were both gunning for the top of the stage when i noticed he was above me. I up aired him with a yellow pikmin and he hit the blast zone right before i did. To this day, yellow pikmin are my favorite.
