Super Smash Bros.
Tedius Zanarukando played the original Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee. In Super Smash Bros., his main character was Luigi. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, his main character was Marth. In both games, his punching bag was Yoshi. Marth's appearance Super Smash Bros. Melee led him to become a big fan of the Fire Emblem series and effectively overtook Luigi as his favorite Nintendo character and made Fire Emblem his favorite game series. Marth also led him to discover his ultimate favorite Nintendo character Ayra from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, which was not represented in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

He controversially decided not to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl, because he believes that Lyndis from Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken should have been playable character rather than an Assist Trophy as she would in the game. He was also disappointed that the game had no female newcomers or representation of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. He has been criticized for his reason to reject Super Smash Bros. Brawl. His main character would have been the same as in Super Smash Bros. Melee if he were to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
