Super Smashing Birthdays
Happy a-few-minutes-early-in-my-time-zone birthday to me! :)
And also happy birthday to 13catswaltz, who has the same birthday as me! :)
And also also to Luigi - because Mario Bros. was released in Japan on July 14, 1983; my negative tenth birthday. ;)
Hey, there's an idea for a totally nerdy survey...
This page has a table (several paragraphs down from the beginning of that section...) that lists the dates every* Super Smash Bros. character debuted (because in SSB4, the order you fight them in All-Star Mode is based on that).
Use that to figure out your answers to these questions:
1) Which SSB character(s), if any, debuted on your birthday in any year?
Luigi
2) Which SSB character(s) debuted closest to the date you were born?
Meta Knight (debuted March 23, 1993 - the date closest to July 14, 1993 in that list).
3) Which SSB character(s) debuted closest to the date you created your LiveJournal/DreamWidth/some-other-journal-site account? (If you have/had multiple journals, you may answer this separately for all of them, some of them, or just one. Whichever you prefer.)
My LJ was created on August 19, 2007 - the character whose debut was closest to that is Rosalina (November 1, 2007).
My DW was created on May 13, 2017, long after the debut of the newest character (Corrin, on June 25, 2015).
:)
*Except Miis, alternate characters (the Koopalings and Alph), and characters from Melee and Brawl who aren't in SSB4. I went ahead and looked up the relevant dates in case you want to take these into account as well:
Ice Climbers: January 30, 1985
Snake: July 13, 1987
Koopalings: October 23, 1988
Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, and Ivysaur: February 27, 1996 (obviously the same day as Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, and Charizard)
Wolf: April 27, 1997
Young Link: November 21, 1998 (same day as Sheik and Ganondorf)
Pichu: November 21, 1999
Mii: November 19, 2006
Alph: July 13, 2013
And also happy birthday to 13catswaltz, who has the same birthday as me! :)
