Return to Dreamland is good, you get to play as Dedede.

Exactly, co-op.

RTDL isn't exactly I Wanna Be The Guy but I don't think a 2-year-old could play through it all by herself.

@32: That's adorable. Also, Dedede definitely has the best ducking pose in the game, so I approve of her choice.

Also, Dedede is like, the best character in Return to Dreamland. I break the arena with him so easily.

Ah, youth. I remember that I got into Smash when I was 10 (Too young to fully comprehend Melee when it came out and too young to play games when 64 came out, though I saw copies of Melee before Brawl so I knew the Smash Bros name and the fact that it had Mario, Peach, Pikachu, DK, Yoshi, and Bowser in it). I first played as Bowser in Classic Mode. Though I was mostly sticking to Snake and Sonic even then (with dabbling into the Star Fox crew, Captain Falcon, and Lucario).

It's funny how I'm way more open with these games than I was when I first started.

I remember when I was 7 and I played Melee for the first time. I was only able to use Pikachu's Thunder effectively.

I had no clue who Link, Captain Falcon, Ness, and Fox were, but I recognized everyone else.

Then Melee came, introducing Zelda, Sheik, Ganondork, Young Link, Ice Climbers, Marth, and Roy, whom I had no idea about.

By Brawl the only newcomers I didn't recognize were Lucas, Ike, and Snake. I had boned up on Zelda lore enough to recognize Toon Link, but I still hadn't played an actual Zelda game yet.

Smash Four I didn't really know Robin, Lucina, or Shulk, but had some knowledge on them due to internet osmosis. I had gotten and played Awakening almost immediately after Robin's trailer though.

I don't know about the Wii U version, but it seems that, for the 3DS version at least, the online server appears to be currently undergoing maintenance. Reckon this could mean anything?

That happens pretty often I think. I see people going "there's maintenance going on, announcement is coming" a lot when it's nothing at all tongue

I remember my mom got Melee by accident. She bought it from a pawn shop for five bucks.

History was made that day when I picked the guy in green with the sword.

You can't get it wrong if it's the truth!

Smash 64 is one of my earliest memories. I remember trying to defeat Master Hand by making him go too far offscreen with Yoshi. I didn't even know how to do any attacks other than his Egg Lay.

When I was just starting SSB, most of what I'd do during normal fights would be to spam Smash Attacks. Oh how much better I've gotten since then.

My first exposure to Smash was at a family gathering when I found some family members of mine playing 64. Not unlike Full Moon, I only recognized Mario and Pikachu (I didn't even know who Yoshi or Link were!) and had no idea what was going on.

I pretty much ignored Smash until some kids started bringing Brawl to kid gatherings at church, and...well, the rest is history.

Playing Melee with my brother and maining Kirby were my first memories of this franchise.

I started on 64, but Melee was the first one I actually owned. When I first started playing I had no idea how the specials worked, so I alternated between button mashing and figuring out one or two attacks and spamming them.

My first foray into Smash was also a church gathering. I was about 10, and some older kids brought Melee. I watched the game, figured out what to do, and when my turn came, I picked Kirby because jumps = get back to stage.

I got Wobbled all four stocks.

Just for fun, I made a revised idea of what a Cloud-focused Guidance might be like.

Viridi: Oh dear me. I think I'm gonna puke.
Pit: Viridi? What's wrong?
Viridi: "What's wrong"? "What's wrong"? Just look at the guy you're fighting!
Pit: What, is something wrong with Cloud?
Viridi: Ugh. You probably don't have the refined senses to even see it. For your information, little angel, that human you're fighting is covered in planetary life force! Urgh. It's like he's drenched in blood. My blood! It's just disgusting!
Palutena: Well, it's true that Cloud has been enhanced beyond normal human limits, due to being injected with Mako energy extracted from the planet.
Viridi: You see! Just like a human! I'll bet that's why he's even capable of wielding that stupidly heavy sword.
Palutena: However, he also became a member of the anti-Mako fighting force AVALANCHE.
Viridi: But-
Palutena: He wound up fighting against the company that gave him his power, so that he could stop them from hurting the planet any more than they had.
Viridi: ...Well... it's still gross. He should take a shower or something. I need to go lie down.
Pit: Um... anyway. Got any advice for fighting this guy?
Palutena: Oh, right! Well, like I said, Cloud can go beyond human limits. When he performs his Limit Break, watch out; all his attacks will be faster, longer, and stronger than before. But he's still most suited to close-range combat, so keep him at a distance with your arrows. Just remember to block his Blade Beam with your Guardian Orbitars.
Pit: Right! This one's in the bag! I've wielded bigger swords than his before!
Palutena: But you had to wield them as clubs.
Pit: But I still wielded them, though.
Palutena: With both hands. Maybe you should ask Magnus for help with technique.
Pit: Yeah, yeah...

I have a message from another time...

My first Smash was on the Nintendo 64 about when it came out. #oldschool

I knew everyone except Samus, Captain Falcon, and Ness.

My first SSB game was Brawl (also my first fighting game), I played SSB 64 second, but owned Melee second. That's because I was at my second cousins' place and they had SSB 64 and an N64. It wasn't until summer 2008 when I owned SSB 64, while I had owned Melee since April 2008.

Then came SSB 3DS on October 3rd (got it on that day), and the first weekend of December saw me getting SSB Wii U.

I knew pretty much everyone except for Ness and Captain Falcon. I had heard of Samus, but hadn't played any Metroid games at that point, though.
