7 Things Your Girlfriend Will Never Know About Your Love Affair With "Super Smash Bros"

Sometimes if things were extra chaotic and there were lots of players I would stand there falcon punch-ing just to add more noise to the insanity. Call me an agent of chaos.

`Nintendo recently announced that they were bringing "Super Smash Bros" to the Nintendo Switch. This is big news. Just watch this this video of people reacting to the announcement. I think a dude fainted.

The announcement took me back in time to my days as a Smash Bro, and the hypeness in the video was so hype that I got hype. I was so hype I decided to show the video to my girlfriend so she could share in this hype-osity.

Her reply was, "what's Super Smash Bros?"

Devastation. Send help. I tried to explain the pain away, telling her, "it's an incredible, classic game that's coming to Nintendo's newest console." I shot for overly generic, trying to meet her where she was as a non-Smasher.

Her reply was, "what's a console?"

It's painful. SO MUCH PAIN. A world without video games. A world where one never knows the joys of Smash. I had to relive my experience with Super Smash just to wash away the pain. Here are 7 of the joys of "Super Smash Bros" she will never know.

1. FALCON PUNCH!


Sometimes if things were extra chaotic and there were lots of players I would stand there falcon punch-ing just to add more noise to the insanity. Call me an agent of chaos.

2. Defeating the Master Hand

The final battle was a grind if you didn't have many lives. It took so much commitment to get there that losing was not an option.

3. So much damage

\

Living on the edge consists of skydiving and trying to stay alive in super smash with more than 200% damage. One hit and you're done for.

4. THE HAMMER

With great power comes great responsibility. Unfortunately, I always wasted it. Sad.

5. Being a button masher

Imagine a controller in this guy's hands and you've got me. Some might call me low skilled, but I say I'm unpredictable. A A A BBBBBBABABABXYXYXYX victory.

6. Trash talk

YOU LIKE THAT?!!?!? I just metroid primed you into the next dimension boyeeeeeeee!

7. Camaraderie

Not all boys know how to talk to each other, especially when they are young. I remember going to the neighborhood holiday party every year and all of the kids would gather in the attic to play Super Smash. We didn't always know each other or talk to each other, but by golly we can play Smash together.

Super Smash Bros for president 2020.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
