I just got my Wii U today, and this is one of my first games. I've never played Smash Brothers before. What's the best way to play with goons? My Nintendo ID is omgitsbees

People should play characters in smash because they like them outside of smash, not because they think they're good. And I don't think most people who play Rosalina or ZSS actually like or appreciate their characters outside of smash, mostly because they don't have much likeability outside of smash. That's why I ask

Samus is so cool you have 2 choices of how to play her. I like the one that's fast.

I still haven't played another game with Rosalina even though I own 3 of them in my backlog. I just liked hitting things with a star that makes cute noises.

Smash characters are fun, so you should have fun, even if you have fun with characters that end up being high tier.

Foul villain! I do not flee. I will never turn my back on you and run away!

[he says, running away]
studies have shown that you cannot have fun with high tier characters, hence "for fun" and "for glory"

At the very least, appreciation of the character is required. smash is first and foremost a celebration of Nintendo, and to play a random character you don't even know is to disrespect that character and franchise.

My shameful secret, my main is from a game I have never played. Yet, I could never leave Captain Falcon behind. He has taught me so much. He taught me I must show my moves. He gave me courage, gave me strength, gave me glory.

My previous main was Pikachu though, and I have definitely played a lot of Pokemon. Perhaps too much, I mean, I caught 'em all. Kinda want to learn to use a Pokemon in SSB4 but I can't get into any, I miss Brawl Pikachu so much.

i legitimately haven't played melee in probably at least 7 years.

and yeah, lemme just fire up this extremely illegal mod of brawl, which is completely disrespectful towards sakurai, made explicitly for the purpose of trying to "fix" sakurai's "lovely" game. no loving thanks.

Project M has done nothing but sell copies of and breath new life into an outdated and honestly mediocre game. lmao at there being anything illegal about it.

Have you seen what it does to Ike? You can jump out of his side B, it makes him incredibly fun to play.

I've played Ness since he first appeared in Smash Bros and it made me go back and play Earthbound on VC even though I never played it back in the SNES days.

Am I OK now? I'm still allowed to play Smaaaaaash Bros with Ness, right?

Any suggestions on competitive videos/streams that have decent/not lovely commentary? I've looked at a bunch of stuff on youtube, but so much of it is pretty much just two dudes talking irrelevant poo poo over the match (very distracting) and a bunch of hilarious in-jokes. :(

I generally like xanadu's announcers but if you don't find them funny then I could see how they'd be grating.
