Today, a good friend of my family invited us to her boyfriend's birthday party. She asked me to bring a few various supplies for the gamecube. (Two controllers, and a memory card, complete with nearly a save slot for SSBM with nearly 100% unlocked / attained. Though I never did need to use that memory card, since his turned out to be functional after all. He claimed he had dropped it on a magnet. Ouch.) The "boyfriend," Matt, (Last name's spelling not 100% verified, so I'll omit it.) was a tester for SSBM and Soul Calibur II, so they tell me.
The room was full of people who claimed to be an expert at SSBM, virtually undefeated. I was a bit scared, as I didn't come here to win, just to have fun, with some human opponents. Seeing them win would have made them happy, therefore, myself happy as well. (Odd logic, but it's true, and it works. :shrug: ) So I was asking everyone who their favorite SSBM character was, and everyone gave their opinions on them. All were duly noted. (For example, Marth is faster than Roy, but Roy is more powerful, and Zelda is a great character to play because she has Shiek, and is a great counter to most any person.)
I just chose Link, because I spend a lot of time playing as him. I always choose Link. Although I spend a lot of time practicing with each other character, (Except Bowser. I just can't stand Bowser. :sweat: ) Link just flows like I do.
When it was Mike's turn to face me, I turned off all items, and made it a 3 Stock match, on Hyrule Temple. (Held R beforehand, of course, for the intensified effect. ;) :D ) He was Shiek. I was Link in a blue tunic.
I owned him Three to Zero.
So I seem to have defeated all of Oceanside, NY's greatest SSBM champions, all gathered in one room. I am my area's unnofficial SSBM Champion. I would say it feels great, but I made all those other guys and girls (There was this one girl who was IMMENSELY good at Yoshi, and rolling. She scared me. @_@ ) feel a bit worse about their own skill. :-/
Sorry to seem boastful. It'll probably be my only time I'll get to boast like this. Champion. Wow. Practice does pay off. :)
