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

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

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

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
