ITT: Discordian Tales of Interest!
13 years ago
I never played the original Smash Bros on N64. I started with Melee on GameCube, and my best friend was one of those crazy talented super gamers, able to give even some of the more talented players a run for their money. I could never beat him, but at the very least, I would get better at surviving longer against him. Became decent at the game and found the one character I could use to even compete with mister SuperGamer friend.
When Brawl came out, I was visiting a Tiger in Tempe. We played through the entire Story Campaign together, forcing me to learn multiple characters (not just Marth). After that, I tended to do BETTER when I chose random than if I selected my characters during Multiplayer Battles. At a Furmeet near Denver, I managed to have some very Discordian wins with some of my worst characters (this was the same Furmeet where I was dealt 4 of a kind Aces in the first hand of a poker game).
The local Anime Con rolled around and one of the events I definitely did not want to miss was the Super Smash Bros Brawl Tourney (I've been going to NDK since before there even was a Fur Con in Colorado). I “signed up” by grabbing one of the numbered tokens, and managed to score fighting in the very first battle. Of course I chose Random as the other three fighters picked their characters. Once it was clear I intended to stay on Random, a second player switched from a Character to Random. With half the players Random, the crowd and their own pride pressured the other two contenders into picking Random also, soliciting cheers from onlookers. I had to play as Wario and did not end up winning, but that first battle and several afterwards had all four players as Random all because of me. So though I was eliminated in the very first round, I still call it a victory for Discordia. Hail Eris!

PS: changed the quotes on the front page too yay.
