What Your Favorite 'Super Smash Bros. Melee' Character says About You

As told by someone who doesn't play "Smash."

Before you read this article, you need to know that I do not understand "Super Smash Bros." I only ever push random buttons while praying to the game gods that I don’t actually fling myself off of the edge of the stage with no chance of recovery. My only existing knowledge about these characters is that they're each from different games, have different abilities in different categories and some of them look much cooler than other ones. Here's what some of the characters I'm familiar with say about someone who plays them frequently, as told by someone who doesn't know anything about the game itself.

1. Marth

I don’t even know what game this character is from, but I’m gonna wager a guess that if you play him, you probably listened to a lot of Blink-182 in high school. You also have a one-syllable name, like Greg or Blarth.

2. Pikachu

This is my favorite character to play, mostly because he has what I’ve heard described as anti-arial attacks — to me, that means he can make lightning come down from the sky, which looks neat. I have to assume that if you also like to play Pikachu, you also watch a lot of storm chasers and that, like me, you get easily frustrated when you accidentally hurl yourself at an opponent only to end up throwing yourself off of the stage.

3. Ice climbers

This character has far too many limbs, so I have to assume that you have either A) very long legs or B) very short arms. You find refuge in the excess appendages in this character combo. You may also be an only child trying to find friendly companionship like the kind you would have gotten from a brother or sister growing up.

4. Peach

You’re the only girl playing with a bunch of dudes. That, or you’re an expert on Peach’s abilities in this game. You always choose her when you play Mario Kart, and you think that high pitched, irritating noises are “cute” and definitely not annoying.

5. Fox

You're generally uninspired, both in terms of gameplay and of everyday life. If you were asked to give a presentation at work, you would make a Powerpoint and consider adding a couple of spinning transitions, but after you added them in you were self-conscious about someone noticing and thinking they were tacky, so you delete them to save yourself any embarrassment.

6. Jigglypuff

You have really soft hands, unless you’re Hungrybox, and your normally touchable fingertips are calloused from playing this character constantly.

7. Captain Falcon

I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but Captain Falcon's head is far smaller than his biceps, because, I can only guess, his brain power was siphoned into his muscles to make his Falcon punch more powerful. So it’s only logical that if you play this character frequently, you also have strong arms from practicing the Falcon punch in real life. You spend days and nights furiously winding your arm around in circles, and trained yourself to flick open a lighter just as your fist flies forward to greet the body pillow that you’ve been using as an opponent. You can become Captain Falcon. You will become Captain Falcon. You must become Captain Falcon.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation.

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
