Chapter I: Dawn of a New Life
My Brawl story starts on the date of March 9, 2008. I had pre-ordered my copy of Super Smash Brothers. Brawl at my local GameStop. I walked in on that day and purchased it, surprised at the fact that there was no line for one of the most anticipated games of the Nintendo Wii. I purchased my copy and got home as soon as possible only to find out the dreadful fate of my Wii. My Wii was purchased during its release month back in November '06, which means my Wii had a problem reading the disc. Out of all the games I couldn't play, it HAD to be Brawl; the game I had purchased my Wii for in the first place. So I called Nintendo, pissed off as hell. Apparently, this was "normal". It obviously wasn't, you shouldn't release something you know that your faithful fans will not be able to play. I was all for the idea to have SSBB be a two-disc game, loading times would be faster and you would even have MORE space. After I got done talking with Nintendo, they had told me they would mail me a shipping label to put on my box to send my Wii in. Ri-fucking-diculous. So I got the label three days later, put my Wii in a box and wrapped it in cheap newspaper. IT TOOK TWO WEEKS TO GET BACK TO ME! Talk about service... I had to sit for two weeks and listen to everyone talk about how awesome this game is and: "OH MY GAWD WTFBBQ HAVE YOU PLAYED AS SNAKE?! HE'S SO AWESOME!!" These events almost caused a 12-gauge to take off my throat.
After I spent the two weeks gauging my eyes out with a philips screwdriver, I FINALLY got my Wii back. I plugged up my Wii and slid in the game. The game was beautiful; I adored the new graphics and look of all the characters. The stages, characters, and extras were entertaining. The only disappointments were: the slower game play and loading times, which I felt since I was a chronic melee player. So, I played and got through the adventure mode and got all the characters, and I started thinking I was pretty good. I had become undefeated between all of my friends. My main was Kirby and I had no idea what was in store for me.
A week past and I had my eye on the adapter that would allow me to hook up to Wi-Fi via Ethernet. I bought it, went home, got on Google, and searched for "Brawl Tournaments". Under my search was the site Smashboards.com, a site DEDICATED to the game I adored. Well, it was a forums website which I looked around, searching for a challenge. I found someone who thought they were "teh shit". His name was HW Dark Link. Well, like all forum sites, I had to sign up in order to post. So I started creating a name. I wanted something that had my main in it and was awesome. Pimp Master Kirby was what I picked.
So I posted a challenge to Dark Link, which, within 2 hours he had accepted. I was excited, to play someone outside of my state. I added his friend code and he added mine. We picked Final Destination and the match started, my first online match. I was owned instantly, the one second lag destroyed me. I was being hit left to right and the torture finally stopped when I was two stocked. That's when he switched from Toon Link to Ike, which I think was to laugh at me. He won yet again and took the set. After the set ended, he left the room, signed off, and left me a demeaning message, "Sorry, I don't like playing noobs." I was so angry; I had been undefeated locally, but yet in the matter of five minutes, I was destroyed and casted aside like trash. I tried to rematch him but he wasn't up for it, he wouldn't even return my messages. I quit brawling for a week after the rock of reality was thrown through the window of my life and hit me on the back of my head, splitting my head open.
A week later, I came back to Smashboards and looked around. I eventually stumbled upon Smashboard's FriendFinder, where I continued to challenge people and get used to the lag in wi-fi. It was during this time my friend Jaime (Ziro) had contacted me, a friend from my hometown from where I had moved from. We got together and brawled online. Surprisingly, he casted me aside just as easily. This was a kid that could NEVER beat me in Melee, but without even trying, casted me aside. He had been playing online since the game had come out, a whooping month and two weeks more experience. Ziro was in a clan already; a clan named SWC (Silver Wolves Clan). His main was Pit and his favorite thing to do was mess with people with his raining/looping arrows.
We instantly became doubles partners, putting up challenges to anyone we could. We never lost a set and I was getting better. Ziro took his time to teach his arrow techniques. At this time I had trouble sidestepping on reflex, which was one of the main reasons I never stood a chance to Ziro.
A week later Ziro introduced me to Friendcodes.com. We hosted hub games for anyone to try to beat our doubles team, which still never happened. I was beginning to stand a chance to Ziro, though I still could not beat him. By this time, clans were starting to recruit everyone. At Friendcodes, there was a clan called Elite Strike Force (ESF) that I thought would be a perfect chance to learn my sidestepping. I was tried out and I made it in. I never actually considered this to be one of the clans I was apart of because of the fact I only joined for my selfish needs and left once I got just that. I trained for two days and had the technique down. They made me play defensive matches, where at first I was trying to avoid every attack thrown at me. I was eventually able to attack and my training was complete. I called Ziro and challenged him to a set, that I had gotten better. We played, intense close matches of our top mains. That was the night that I had beaten Ziro.

Go Arby! The next match was trouble, Espio had fought Sky. Espio won the first match and lost the second. The third they disconnected right as Sky took Espio's first stock. Since Sky was leading even by just a kill move they gave him the win. The fourth was Stitch Vs. Chef, which Stitch had the win but gimped and lost. The 5th match, last of the first round, was supposed to be me Vs. KirbyRulez. But, there was a misunderstanding and Danack had brawled him without anyone knowing. Dan said since the matches were already done that they were offical (which he only said because Kirby won that match).
