Unexpected Twist: Barack Obama's Secret Weapon in Super Smash Bros Unveiled!

Former United States President Barack Obama, known for his support of video games as free speech, is revealed to be an avid player of Super Smash Bros. According to Cody Daniels, a respected organizer within the Super Smash Bros. community, Obama's main character of choice is Captain Falcon from F-Zero. Daniels, who had the opportunity to meet Obama through the Make-A-Wish foundation, discusses his memorable experience competing against the president in the original Nintendo 64 version of the game during a recent livestream.

This event was the Max Pain Monday poker stream hosted by Hustler Casino, aimed at raising funds for the Make-a-Wish foundation. Daniels and competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee player Daniel "Tafokints" Lee discussed various aspects of their competitive careers, including their experience playing with Barack Obama. Daniels mentioned that he went easy on Obama by playing as Ness instead of his main characters, Pikachu and Fox. They invited others to guess who the former president played as and eventually revealed that his main character was Captain Falcon.

It does make sense for a former president to choose Captain Falcon as his main character. Captain Falcon exudes American influences, as the character was inspired by Batman during the design process for F-Zero. In both Super Smash Bros. and F-Zero, Captain Falcon feels like a patriotic superhero. Despite his franchise being inactive, Captain Falcon remains an iconic member of the Super Smash Bros. roster.

Cody Daniels acknowledges that Obama's gaming skills surpassed expectations, describing him as more than just a casual player. In addition to playing the game, the ex-president graciously autographed Daniels' Super Smash Bros. Nintendo 64 cartridge, captured in a photo. Daniels' appearance on Max Pain Monday exemplifies his generosity, as he donated all of his winnings to benefit a future recipient of the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Super Smash Bros. made its debut in 1999 as an original release for the Nintendo 64.
