I can't really say I didn't know about any of them, some of them I was introduced to for the first time from Super Smash Bros Melee.

I've known about Pit for a long time.
I still got Kid Icarus of Myth and Monsters for the Gameboy.

Never did beat that game though :roll:

Oh chill. I doubt anyone outside of Japan new who Roy and Marth were. Ness, well sorry I was too young to enjoy the SNES era :roll: and again anyone outside of Japan probably didn't know who Lucas was. R.O.B.....SERIOUSLY you are honestly going to tell me you knew who the **** he was when you first saw him? Lies I tell you. :P Same thing appiles to the Ice Climbers and G&W and I played F-Zero for the SNES before but I didn't now the piolet was Falcon. (I don't think he ever left his race car so you can't hold that against me :P) Snake.....never played MGS so get off my back. I still don't think you were honest on your first post though. Saying you knew who R.O.B. and G&W were....:lol: I servely doubt that.

Actually, I should take it back that I didn't know who R.O.B. was. I remembered seeing him in MKDS but even then I had no idea who he was.

Lol, ok ok ok. Out of all of them, the only ones I dont understand you not knowing is Snake. The rest of the charcters are a matter of "are you old enough to remember them" or if youve been to japan.

Personaly, I did know about Lacas and Marth (Marth through a friends import and Lucas through the GBA import).

Marth and Roy for Melee. I didn't find out about Ness or Samus until the N64 Smash. I didn't know about Stafy until Brawl.

Half of my childhood is everything from Japan, I have more CD's in Japanese then I have in English.

Gaiking to Godzilla, Mazinger to Morning Musume, Isao Sasaki to Ichiro Mizuke.

So no, the Japanese only characters I knew about, there weren't any surprises

Ice Climbers.

I knew about Marth and Roy through Fire Emblem before I got SSBM (I wasn't old enough when it came out, but just a little before SSBM came out, I imported it).

Other than that, I pretty much played, or at least knew where every character came from in SSBB :).

EDIT : My mom had R.O.B. for her NES :).

I knew about all of them by Melee (even Marth and Roy), but the original was one of my first video games, so that was my introduction to just about all of the non-mario/zelda/pokemon characters.

Captain Falcon, Marth*, Roy*, Zero-Suit Samus*, Ness, Lucas, Falco*, Mr. Game & Watch*, Shiek...I think that's it.

I never had an SNES, so I was never familiar with the F-Zero or Earthbound series until after I played Smash Bros. I had played Star Fox before, but I was only familiar with Fox, Slippy and 'young' Peppy from those games back then. I never knew of Earthbound 3's existance until a year or two ago, and thus didn't know much about Lucas. I was familiar with the 'Game & Watch Gallery' series of games for GB and GBC, and Mr. Game & Watch appeared in a picture on GameBoy Camera as well as the role of your guide in Wario Land 4, but I still didn't know who or what it was. Since I never really got to play Ocarina of Time until Master Quest edition was released for GCN, I had no inkling of who Shiek was or if it was even a boy or a girl. Zero-Suit Samus confused me because I had mistaken it for the Fusion Suit from Metroid 4: Metroid Fusion, and hadn't realized that Samus wears the Zero Suit underneath her Power Suit and its subsequent upgrades until then. I had heard of the Fire Emblem series before it reached America through people referencing the series in comparison to other RPGs in reviews, as well as pictures of FE 6 that appeared in NP before they were sure whether or not that game would reach American shores - it didn't.

DAMN!

Oh chill. I doubt anyone outside of Japan new who Roy and Marth were. Ness, well sorry I was too young to enjoy the SNES era :roll: and again anyone outside of Japan probably didn't know who Lucas was. R.O.B.....SERIOUSLY you are honestly going to tell me you knew who the **** he was when you first saw him? Lies I tell you. :P Same thing appiles to the Ice Climbers and I played F-Zero before but I didn't now the piolet was Falcon. (I don't think he ever left his race car so you can't hold that against me :P) Snake.....never played MGS so get off my back. I still don't think you were honest on your first post though. :P

LOL
Don't feel bad, my little brother keeps thinking R.O.B is Wall-E...
Why he thinks that I have no idea

my 6-year old brother thinks he's Wall-E too wtf...-,- do they look the same?

They look somewhat alike since they're robots and have yellow paint and biggogglyeyes
