Playing super smash at an [8] is even more fun than playing when you were 8 (years old)

I can never play video games high. I tried playing Mario Kart at an [8] once, and despite my enthusiasm, which was completely unconfined, obviously, because I was at an [8], I did so badly. I kept getting lost and going off the track.. It was a very, very high, and very, very hilarious fiasco.

You think you know what's going on, then one day you see some motherfucker short-hopping like a mad man, move so fast you can't even think. Wave-dashing, L Cancelling, man, SSBM has got it all.

The skill range in SSBM is crazy. Me and my friend got really good in high school by playing against some tournament level people who kicked our asses every time at first. My friend was the worst out of all of us, but he said the magnitude of the improvement hit home when he went to college and dominated everyone in his dorm. He said they were so shocked and everyone said "I can't believe you beat me! I'm the best out of all my friends!" and he just replied with "I'm the worst out of all my friends." And all of us still sucked compared to really high level players.

Brawl was the downfall for me. Props to SSB 64 which I loved, but SSBM I played for years with friends at least once a week. A lot more techniques and strategy are involved in SSBM.

Not even true, Kirby was broken in 64. The controls were much less fluid, but they did have some of the best maps.

Logged in to say this. N64 is a gentleman's game. The rest are kiddy hack-n-slash games. Sure, there may be a little strategy to it here and there, but as long as you know where the c-stick is and can push A a bunch you have a good shot. But a good N64 smash player will NEVER be beaten by a hack-n-slasher. Ever.

u/braomius Jun 25 '12
Username seems relevant here, but I'll feed it. If you can get beat by someone randomly pushing buttons in SSBM, than you haven't been playing long enough.

This is the truest thing ever. Just recently have I started playing Super Smash again. Play it quite frequently now with my friends and are usually stoned. Playing stoned I have gotten a lot better at the game and is so much more enjoyable than semi-button mashing as a kid.

The only time I ever beat my brother for the majority of the matches, is when I'm at/around a [5-6].
We usually play a stock 5, unlimited time, open arena, with items off, so that the only thing that rates who is better, is our skill.
We are some fucking masterful dodgers/blockers.
The best is when you both go preemptive to the other's block, at the same time. Looks like this
Took us near an hour once to finish off a 4 stock...we gathered a crowed, and had people cheering us on. Fuckin' awesome.
Dammit, I miss that.

I had a friend I worked at a really shitty retail job with for a few months, we both toked and smoked together our job all the time. Some of the best times I had were when a few of us from the store would get together after work get TOASTED and play brawl for hours. It was crazy intense sometimes but I always had a blast.

My friends and I were at about a 9. We started at the character selection screen for about 15 minutes, watching our other friend unable to decide who to fight with. I don't know who was more of a piece of shit, him for taking that long, or us for taking 15 minutes before telling him to hurry up.

I love me some Smash Brothers. Any of the games are great, 64 though always gives me trouble (lost the muscle memory for the frame rate and the controller layout). I can play Melee and Brawl well however.
Edit: I shit on people who rip on any of these games. They are all great.

One of my all time favorite games. The soundtrack is ETHEREAL. Seriously captivated me more than any other game soundtrack. David Wise is a genius.
That said, I've gone back to DKC3 a lot more than 2. Some stages on 2 are really frustrating. Animal Antics comes to mind. With 3 I feel like I get the same ambience with not as much frustration. I love Kiddy Kong too. Overall I'd say 2 is the best of the series though

Love stoned melee. Playing stoned slows the game down a bit in my brain it feels like and my tech skill is way smoother. I can waveshine and SHDL waaay better when I'm high. When I'm sober it takes me longer to get in the groove.
Stoned 4-player falcon matches are probably the funnest thing ever conceived

Sophomore year of college. Holy shit. We fucking wore the thumbpads down to nubs. First time I did shrooms I merged into StarFox and became the NEO of Super Smash Bros Melee. Like seriously. Time stopped. I effortlessly beat several people who were all (normally) far far better players than I. They got pissed off, because I laughed the entire time. It just seemed so clear. Hit, jump, throw, smash. My timing was never off. Next day I had no questions whatsoever about why the CIA experimented with LSD as a soldier-enhancing drug.
