Which Super Smash Brothers Brawl Character would be the Best College Roommate?
Out of the myriad characters in Super Smash Bros Brawl, who would you want to spend your college days with? Let’s look closely at the fighters’ lives outside the ring, where instead of smashing and brawling, they’ll be challenged by the everyday things we normal people have to deal with. Each character will be ranked from 1 to 10 in three categories: diligence, cleanliness, and social acceptance. Then the sum of each category will determine their score and help determine their rank as a potential college roommate. (Some scores won’t reflect their potential as well as others, which is why I’ve written a little something for each entry.) There are just too many characters (35 in total) to write up a complete list, but here are the top five and the bottom six.
The eye color doesn’t seem quite right, so I tweak it a little bit. Then I change the cheek bones until they’re just right. And finally, after spending far too long in the character creation screen, I think I may have gotten my character perfect.

No…to be considered a true “badass,” much more emphasis must be placed on the “ass.”
The phone rings. “What’s that? I gotta go save the world? Alright…which is it this time? Zombies? Nazis? Robots? Oh, it’s Nazis again. I’ll be right over.” It’s empowering being the one to single-handedly mow through hordes of generic bad guys on your way to take down The Big Boss, but over the past decade, it feels like we’re fighting the same armies. Are there no new races or organizations lurking in the shadows, plotting our demise? It’s time to enlist a new menace to give evil a fresh face!
“Tell me a story.” It is a phrase that embodies pure innocence, that we all uttered as our parents tucked us into bed at night. As we grew older, we replaced the spoken narratives of our parents with picture books. As we grew even older still, those were replaced with novels and we learned to appreciate television and film as artistic media. Now that we are old enough to appreciate the beauty of a good story, we have even more places to find them. Each entertainment medium is capable of telling moving tales, but they are all done in drastically different ways. What is it you want from your stories? And where do you look for them?
