So I talked the local news in to covering our tournament...

[Praxis]

...and they decided to make the entire narrative about me teamkilling my opponent in one of the doubles matches.

I need a drink.

Chris Hardin, known as Praxis to his fellow “Super Smash Bros.” gamers, sat next to team partner Ben Marks in a pivotal late-round match at the Black Wolf Gaming Center in Spokane Valley. More than a hundred bucks was on the line for the victors in a “doubles” match of the decade-old Nintendo video game, which pits members of the Japanese company’s massive character stable against each other in a king-of-the-hill style slugfest.

Hardin, playing as Simian scrapper Diddy Kong from the “Donkey Kong Country” series, knocked teammate Marks (as “Kirby” antagonist Meta Knight) into oblivion early in the game. The virtual equivalent of an own-goal in soccer, Hardin’s gaffe drew groans and good-natured ribbing from the assembled crowd of spectators.

“That always happens in a big match,” Marks said after the pair lost a close bout, shaking his head and laughing. “At a pivotal point, you just come out of nowhere and murder me.”

That's what you get, trying to use the media and ****. Have you no shame??

That's a bit of a bummer aha...it happens to everyone at some point though, so no worries. Huge props for trying to grow the community through contacting the news groups though!

Completely off-topic; I've never even thought about whether East WA has a scene or not (I'm on the West side aha). Really hope that smash grows big here - anything even reminiscent of NorCal v. SoCal rivalries and crews would be sick as heck. It'll stay a dream for now though, given the distance and how small we all are lol. Anyhow, big thanks for pushing for the scene's growth.

Dude, I was in the Eastern WA carpool to the May GameClucks over there on the west side, and there are two Western WA carpools coming down to Black Wolf over here for tournament TOMORROW!

We have way more people per capita and are hoping to break 70 tomorrow

Our top player Chip beat Bladewise in Melee back in February I believe!


Despite the 250 mile gap, that rivalry is here and live right now! (As long as you keep Silent Wolf away from us, he scares us...)

I went to GC too xD Got wrecked like the scrub I am though. And Chip is crazy good - I've watched most of the PRers, I just don't know where in WA they're all from (besides SW and Bladewise aha, IK they're both over here...basically got 4-stocked by SW at GC in a PM friendly lol).

why is team attacking on in doubles again

why is team attacking on in doubles again

Because team attack off has stupid walling tactics and you can't save your teammate.

Fantastic. Mainly PM and Melee, we get about 50 at our monthlies and have weeklies as well. Great venue, very high production values that more people need to watch.


Tune in to www.twitch.tv/breadnbutterGames starting at 2 PST to watch our monthly today!

 

[Sour Supreme]

Tough luck.

At least your scene has some recognition though!
