Yeah, it does.smile

Anyways, I just noticed Mac's KO meter is the same one from the arcade games. How did it function there, out of curiosity?

I didn't either actually.

Went out and bought Zero Mission after I read up on it though.

Wasn't until Prime that I got properly hooked

Oh really when?

Apparently Super Punch Out had the meter build as you landed punches, and deplete when you took damage.

It's different than the NES or Wii titles, where you gained discrete Stars by managing to hit specific openings

I have a message from another time...

Eh, my sister grew up on Mario and I inherited all her games. Shame on her.

I did however know about Star Fox because my dad played that. Also Donkey Kong, Zelda (though we didn't have any of those games), Yoshi, Kirby, and Pokemon. Not Earthbound or F-Zero though.

Super Smash Bros is good as a gateway drug game. tongue

[up]x5 Same here, to be honest. Same thing for Ice Climber, Star Fox, F Zero, Fire Emblemnote , The Legend Of Zelda, Earth Bound, Kid Icarus...

(I had a very limited knowledge of video games before I ever played Melee. The only game series I knew existed were Mario, Sonic, Pokemon, and Kirby, I believe. Oh, and Ecco The Dolphin, and I suppose Game And Watch.)

[up]It really is [lol]

I knew all the major ones since I was fans of their games. But I only learned about EarthBound, Game&Watch, Fire Emblem, etc. very recently (relatively). Didn't have internet or a computer for the better part of my life.

SSB is how I got into Zelda and MOTHER.

Is it ironic and hypocritical that I dislike the Newbie Boom MOTHER got from Brawl's release, despite technically being one of said newbies?

I liked Ecco. The game was creepy cool.

But sadly not Nintendo.

Hehe, how could you even make Ecco a fighter? Sliding all over the stage, maybe confusing the others with his sonic signal thing...

Hey, when you're born in 1992, never played an SNES (though we did have an NES at a summer home), started with the N64, its quite hard to have heard of Samus before SSB.

I was born then too. But my parents used to be gamers, so I got to play all of their old games.

Metroid was the only series I had zero experience in by the first game. Ice Climbers and Mr. Game & Watch for Melee. I knew about R.O.B. beforehand due to Mario Kart DS and general Nintendo knowledge.

Shadow?

[up]Before the first Smash Bros. I didn't know who Captain Falcon, Ness, and Samus were.

Melee I didn't know who Ice Climbers, Mr. Game and Watch, Marth, and Roy were.

Brawl I only didn't know Lucas since my Video Game knowledge was a lot better by the time Brawl released.

[up][up]Replace Lucas with Zero Suit Samus, and that would be my list of characters I didn't know about until Smash Bros.
