Assembly was always daunting to me. Then I took Computer Systems at the University. It ended up being seriously fun. The way it made me think and try to solve problems were engaging and different it seemed. It required a new way of thinking and made me think about things I never thought about. Although we only wrote smaller programs for the class, I found them fun and I still remember the class nearly 10 years later.
In regards to the original post, I'm not sure I would be putting C with assembly or learn one over or for the other. They both have their uses and reasons for knowing. Forcing yourself to learn one before the other does not seem like a logical way to go. I think it's best to start with what makes the most sense for your end goal and / or you are most interested and motivated to begin and get most deeply into.
