i grew up playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl at my best friend's house. whenever we had a sleepover, we would wait until her parents went to sleep and sneak into the lounge to play Brawl until the early hours of the morning, when we'd sneak back upstairs to pretend like we'd been asleep all night (we got caught once because, while playing the Spear Pillar stage, Dialga jumped into the middle of the arena and scared us so badly we screamed loud enough to wake her parents lmao)

when Ultimate was announced, i went out the next morning and blew half my course-related costs on a Nintendo Switch, and several months later received Ultimate as a Christmas gift. i spent most of the day getting increasingly drunk off of the vodka oranges my nana kept making me, while playing through the game to unlock all the different fighters :')

Smash is my favourite multiplayer game to play with friends, even those who aren't gamers -- we'll do themed rounds like "play as a fighter who looks like your dad" and meme on the characters.

i primarily main Pyra/Mythra, and Wii Fit Trainer before that.
