As you may recall, I signed up for a Smash Bros tournament. I lost. I lost hard. It was double elimination, and I lost two games in a row. I did end up losing to the two guys who took first and second place, though - so that's some sort of consolation, I guess. However, my goals were accomplished:
1) I wanted to play enough Smash Bros to feel like I can cross it off my list. I've done that.
2) I wanted to compete in one more tournament. I've done that.
3) I wanted to surprise people by picking Ice Climbers. Everyone was pretty impressed that I could actually use the little Eskimo duo - they would've been more surprised if I had won a gal dern match - but I showed people the power of the Climbers, and I am satisfied.
The guys in this tournament were no joke. Like, apparently there's "tiers" of Smash Bros characters? They were all -
"Oh, Falco is a Tier A character, and Samus was a Tier B character in Melee, but they nerfed her for Brawl and now she's a Tier D character."

What?! I just know that Down + B make me shoot ice breath!
The guys were totally cool though and the venue actually rocks! If you guys are ever in the Denville area and looking to kill an hour, they have a really sweet setup.
Good times. I'm crossing Smash Bros Brawl off my list.
Back to Xenoblade.
