When I was little, I just couldn’t do without my daily fix of Smash Bros. I was always tapping furiously on my controller, beating my less than fortunate opponents into colorful, explosive oblivion. It was the most entertaining, addicting, moderately violent game I had owned at age seven. It had all the characters unlocked, the story completed, and a number of trophies about equivalent to pi without the decimal.
When I played this game of mine, I always won. The CPUs, the neighborhood kids, even my little brother fell at my virtual hands. Nothing could beat me.
Now, when I said always in the first paragraph (waaaaay up there), I meant always. There was never a time when I wasn’t playing it, and on the preposterously rare occasion when I wasn’t, I was thinking of new, creative ways to beat my enemies off-stage.
I eventually got over this addiction, even though it was soon replaced with Minecraft, but I still play it today. And, if you ever have to go up against me, well, prepare yourself.
I understand how you felt about that game. I have never played Smash Bros, but it sounds fun. I love all video games. Video games are my life.
Ah, Super Smash Brothers. One of my favorite games too. I really enjoyed the “pi without the decimals” segment, as it is quite true. I’m extremely excited for the Wii U installment, and Mega Man’s final smash looks amazing. What’s your favorite character?
I think I’m going to play mainly Pikachu, because he’s my best character in SSBB at the moment, although I want to keep my options open, because I agree with you on Mega Man’s final smash.
I’m really excited for the next smash bros. It’s going to have new characters, game modes, and all sorts of things! I played my fair share of Smash Bros when I was little, and I can’t wait for the next one.
I played SSBB a lot too, Steven! I can remember all the time I wasted on it. I was quite good, but not the best like you. Still, I enjoyed reading this post, it brought back memories of me playing sonic and introducing Ollimar’s pitiful squishy face to the bottom of my boot. The memories!
Love the “colorful, explosive oblivion.” What better kind of oblivion could there be?
Also this:
“CPUs, the neighborhood kids, even my little brother fell at my virtual hands. Nothing could beat me.”
Great writing, Steven. Always a pleasure stopping by.
I love SSBB, even though I was never that good at it. My dad on the other hand, complained that that it gave him a migraine. I’ll never get tired of knocking Kirbys and Pikachus off the map with Ike’s massive greatsword.
Wow, I love your writing, it’s really funny. I used to play Super Smash Bros too, although I didn’t own the game and I wasn’t all that good. I would go to my neighbor’s house and play, or go to summer camp that owned a console and the game.
