Marriage proposal at Smash @ Xanadu

[TewnLeenk]

During a recent Super Smash Bros for Wii U stream at Xanadu Games on January 6th, pro Smash player Tantalus surprised everyone by getting down on one knee and proposing to his girlfriend Jess in the venue. He started off by getting everyone to sing her "happy birthday" and then proceeded to follow up with the marriage proposal. We can fortunately report that she said yes!

Anything can Happen at Xanadu!
​

Everyone in the venue was excited at the development and The Tantalus clearly took Jess by surprise. One unique factor of this proposal was that it was also commentated by TKBreezy and Phenomenal EE - make sure to listen to the video to hear their excitement at this unexpected development.

Smashboards would like to wish a huge congratulations to Tantalus and Jess! We wish them all he best in their future together. He really did 4 stock that proposal.

I remember watching this when I saw this on my Facebook feed... I liked it a lot. It was cute and I laughed at the commentators.

If Smash is a prominent aspect of your life, it makes sense. I mean, where else would he propose to her? Somewhere romantic? Scub.

I wish them happiness and a good life together (so basically, I wish then that nothing changes in their lives besides Tantalus losing all his tournaments winnings for Jess's wedding dress )
