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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
