Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Likewise, I didn't know who Samus was...thought it was just a robot, not someone in a suit till I read the character bio.
I thought Ness was an original character and was meant to be basically a kid who played Nintendo, hence "Ness".
I had played F-Zero SNES as a kid, so I recognized the game Captain Falcon was from, but I never actually saw who drove the vehicle since I didn't have the game box or manual, so I didn't recognize him either.
Everyone else I knew to a fair extent.
With Melee it was Ice Climbers I had no clue about, and the Fire Emblem dudes. I recognized GW from the Game and Watch Gallery games.
No one in Brawl surprised me as someone I didn't know, although honestly I never played Kid Icarus. I don't imagine with the Internet now and such, that any Smash 4 character will be someone I don't recognize.
