I'm still noncommital. Gift cards aren't real money and I'm not sure if it's worth rushing through a test in order to make it in time.
Rockstar IDK what you're talking about. I think I'm still KCPR'd pretty low, so beating me wouldn't mean much. They'd still have to go through You, the library random Ike, SquivyT, Rick City, Ares, Stealth, and Fino. Besides, I'd be facing much stiffer competition. These are college students, this ain't some library highschool tournament. I've been training my whole life for this, but now that it's here I might not be ready to answer the call of destiny.
However, if you won $75, you should report that to the tourney results thread. They're doing a project where they are calculating the success and popularity of each character. Those winnings would push Ness over $200, and I think that would make you THE top Ness earner in the country, and therefore the best.

We could then claim to have the #1 and #1or2 Ness and Ike respectively in the nation in the KC Brawl Scene. This would be a huge boost to our scene's reputation and respect. At which point, THEN you could claim that beating you makes them one of the scene's top players. Because up until then, beating you only means they are better than you, which is all I said.
