Smash Bros. 64 was the very first video game I ever saw. The crazy action instantly had me hooked, even if I had no idea the characters fighting were industry icons. I bought a Nintendo Gamecube purely to play melee. And boy did I play a lot of it even, though I thought Samus was a robot and Sheik was a man. I still call Mewtwo's up smash "Destructo Disc" like from Dragonball Z from all those years ago.  Then Sakurai had lightning strike a 3rd with brawl.  A bigger roster I had even more fun with than the last.
	And now here I am, all these years later.  I was actually a part of Smash 4 speculation, learning more about Nintendo than I ever thought I would know.  I am no longer a spectator who just plays the game, but a member of the community who acts with anticipation of Nintendo's next big thing all thanks to Smash. After having been a Sony fanboy AND a Microsoft fanboy, Smash brought me to Nintendo. I've spent a lot of time with smash thanks to places like Smashboards.  If I get my way, i'll be still be spending time with this community for a lor longer too.
