here's my list of the most played to the least played. of course, that means the least played means it was played for more than a week straight in calculation of hours...

1. Counter-Strike - i can still remember the days when i was practising for 8 hours a day. and although i don't play as much, its still my favourite.

2. Diablo 2 - 'nuff said.

3. Chrono Trigger - i achieved all 7 endings.

4. Pokemon (All of them combined) - you know the story. i finished Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver and Sappahire. Blue three times, Yellow twice, Gold once, Silver is countless and Sappahire twice. good thing it was emulated at 1000% of its normal speed...

5. FF3 - also played so many times. just beautiful.

6. Robotech - so many robot combinations to know...

7. Deus Ex - this game WILL get the rankings up higher and higher.

[edit] of course, this is just the tip of the ice berg...

My character is Roy...I like him better because he strikes harder than Marth. I am very fond of Roy's Blazer attack....*grin* I finally got the hang of the Double-Edge Dance (I think that was the name, it was either his or Marth's...but same diff anyhow...*gets her SSBM book*) I have played Link, but I don't care much for his Spin Swing. (I always fling the opponent away before he gets the last hit in) Calbh can play him, though.

I would like to see Roy and Marth's original games come here. The second GBA Fire Emblem game is coming here, but Roy and Marth aren't in it. I heard that it's a very good game, though.

Ever since I found out about Fire Emblem, I was curious, and since I started playing SSBM, I was really curious! I would love to at least see the games. Can anybody tell me what they're really about though? I tried looking for a site one time, and (surprise!) they were in Japanese. I kind of got the impression they were war strategy, though...but I could VERY easily be wrong.

Fire Emblem games are strategy RPGs with preset characters. They have features like weapons with limited use and stuff like that. They were the inspiration for the Shining Force games. I never played Fire Emblem, but I want to.

Graphics, shmr....a...phics....::sigh:: (In case you didn't get that, it was a pathetic attempt to show that graphics aren't important, but I just killed it by explaining it...)

Anyway, lots of the games I play have crummy graphics, but I don't mind. Tetris, Mario, Sonic. They're all great. Anyway...Man, that would've been good, too. Like work, shmerk. Well, that isn't much better, but you get the point.

I like those old Japanese games that came out on the MegaDrive console, where you flew around in a little spaceship through different levels, shooting enemy spaceships and picking up prizes. They were fun, but also REALLY HARD!!! Everytime you got shot or crashed into an enemy, you died and lost all the prizes you had collected.

My favorite game right now is Phantasy Star Online (PSO) for the GameCube. I can play it for hours. Ahhhhhhhh!!! I can't stand it! A few days ago there was a power outage while I was saving my game and it got corrupt, meaning I had to start over.:comp: Crazy Taxi 2 is a good game also.

Man, Pichu and Pikachu were the worst stinkin' characters in that game. They always do the same thing, that stupid zap thing, and then he does that thing were his voice goes all deep, and he's like "PEEEKAA" and you fly off to never never land. Stupid rats.

My favorite characters weren't Marth or Roy, surprisingly. Since they are so good and all..I couldn't really find my favorite character. I tried most of them, but I didn't really like em. I thought Bowser would be good, but he wasn't. But Dr. Mario was okay. Dr. Mario, Link, and Mr. Game & Watch are all pretty good. Just not any of those stupid pokemen (is that plural for pokemon? heh)

Roy is peerrrrrrrrfect for gettin' rid of...eheh.....those poke-pests. LOL...it took me a long time to decide that Roy was my favorite. I think he reminded me of my character Rivalen and that's how it got started, but oh well...

It's weird...everyone just has this different playing style and they have to find someone who fits it. I play Roy and occasionally Captain Falcon (a hangover from the old SSB days); Calbh plays primarily Peach and Young Link (and kicks butt at it), and Mom plays...*gulp* Ganon. Yes, my mom plays SSBM too. :sweat: LOL
