The Super Smash Flash 2 scene is a very unique one compared to many of the other Smash games and fan games. While they've had live events and even had some well known players like Hungrybox stream the game, the game still has a small but steadily growing tight knit community that mostly plays online. Just like live scenes the Super Smash Flash 2 scene has had tournaments series of its own, and two of the largest ones, Smash Island and the X Tournament Series are combining together to host a mega tournament: Smash Island X.
Smash Island was originally created to be an online Smash 64 tournament and eventually became a multi-purpose tournament instead with events for Smash 64, Melee, Brawl, and PM. Entrants started to decline for the event slowly, and Smash Island IV the biggest event was the Super Smash Flash 2 side-tournament. At that point, the tournament became a Super Smash Flash 2 exclusive event. One of the regulars at the Smash Island events, DoqtorKirby, started the X Series last December doing a few things differently and also finding success. There have been around 100 players approximately who have signed up for one of those events with twenty to thirty regulars who have came to many of the tournaments in both series, creating their own rivalries, stories, and top players just like every other Smash scene.
For most of the past year, Kyoz was seen as the undisputed "King of Flash" His Marth and Zero Suit Samus helped him sweep almost every Smash Island event, and very few people have beaten him, let alone hold a positive record against him. However, Lunary has been able to defeat Kyoz in many of their recent encounters with his Meta Knight, Marth, and Lloyd. Another epic rivalry to watch out for is RemPrower and Sekanor. RemPrower is currently the best Tails player in the game, whose least favorite matchup to play is Samus. Sekanor is a pure Samus player, who has proven to be one of the best players in the game. Their matches have been intense, almost always going down to a final game, final stock situation.
With these four and many more strong names clashing together as two tournaments collide there is bound be nothing but pure excitement! Smash Island X is happening today March 28th. You can watch it streamed live on DoqtorKirby's Twitch channel.
SmashCapps considered entering to show off Black Mage but was pretty sure he'd get beaten badly. Follow him on Twitter and let him know if he should enter the next tournament.
