Hey everybody!
I posted in the social thread a couple of months ago about a big local event happening here in the growing Alaska scene, and a couple of people were curious and wanted me to post vids and give an update. Battle at the Last Frontier was run by our local fighting game community. We had $1500 in cash prizes initially over multiple games, such as SFIV, MKX, Melee, PM, and SSB4. The cash prizes grew to $2390 total; SSB4 had 77 participants, $435 for 1st place, $174 for 2nd, and $131 for 3rd. I managed to get 3rd place out of the 77. Overall, this was an awesome event, and I'm glad my community is finally coming together to play some Smash4.

Some hype matches! There's a lot of things I'm looking to work on. I'd say I definitely need to work on edgeguarding the most. Relying too much on eruption while missing eruption (lol) won't cut it. I would've also picked BF/MV and D64 as stages more often, but we were banning two stages each pick. Any advice would be awesome! I also heard there were some crazy Melee and PM matches on the same channel, so feel free to watch those.
Edit: I also wanted to thank all of you guys in the Ike Boards! Without your guys' knowledge from the strategy and matchup discussions, I wouldn't have been able to make it that far.
