When someone mentions video games, what comes to your mind? Do you think of a few friends that sit around on Friday nights jamming out to Guitar Hero? Perhaps someone sitting alone exploring vast lands in search of ancient relics in a virtual world? Whether played alone for enjoyment or taken to a large scale competition, video games offer something for everyone.
Alan Lopez, a 20 year old video gamer from just outside of St. Louis, Missouri, has been fascinated with video games ever since he was a small child. “I remember when I was four years old and I got my Nintendo Entertainment System and I was introduced to PC gaming at a real young age.” As the years have progressed, Alan has stayed with the Nintendo’s gaming platforms and, recently, has branched to the other companies.
Alan has a plethora of other interests besides video games. He enjoys cultural subtexts, pop culture as a whole, the history of music, and likes panda bears. He has also travelled the United States in various video game competitions for Nintendo’s most notable fighting game; “Super Smash Bros. Melee.”
Alan began getting involved with video game competitions in April, 2005. Out of his group of friends, he was the best Super Smash Bros. player. After hearing about a rather large video gaming tournament being held in St. Louis, his friends urged him to get involved with it. Alan registered for the competition, but unfortunately, failed to advance that far out of his pool. “It didn’t matter how well you were at a game, you will end up choking from inexperience,” says Alan.
After about a year on the competitive gaming circuit, Alan had finally adjusted to the lifestyle and feelings for the competitions. The first time he had ever been able to place within the top five gamers was at a competition in Indiana. Alan had ranked fourth during the solo matches and placed second overall for team battles. The first prize money he had ever received was worth a total of $30. “Normally, I would pay $20 for an experience, but I had never gotten anything back. I was really happy to have played Smash Bros. and I used that money to buy myself dinner,” Alan recalls.
Within that year, Alan’s gaming skills had increased exponentially. He was beginning to stay within the top three players of the competitions for both the solo matches and the team battles. “The moment I realized that I was good at the game was when professionals wanted to team with me,” states Alan. He began to place high in national tournaments as well for the character that he chooses.
Alan’s character of choice is an electric mouse named Pikachu, which is most noted for its speed and the ability to generate electricity from the pouches on its cheeks. Pikachu is generally unheard of for competitions because of its mediocre power, light weight, and little attack combos, but Alan has been able to become one of the top three Pikachu users in the nation.
Alan’s name became soon came to fame throughout the competitive gaming circuit. His win at the Indiana competition earned him much notoriety and respect amongst the community. Many fans on online communities have posted videos of matches that Alan has played during these competitions.
A newer version of the game has been released for the Nintendo Wii called “Super Smash Bros. Brawl.” The game has entirely new physics, older characters have been updated, and many new characters and levels have been added. Since the game is entirely new, not much is known if it will become put up for competitive gaming tournaments. “Not many people are happy with the physics of the new game,” Alan states, “within a year, I can see the gaming scene going to the way of Brawl, whether some people like it or not. I am willing to learn the new game and take it to the professional level.”

Can I borrow someones second controller tomorrow if I come to geno's crib, mine got ****ed up so bad because of tech skill abuse and now the control stick's sensitivity is all whack, like when I try to stop running the character will stop running a second after i let go holding the stick right or left, so this basically means I can't do nairs with any character with my controller, since I would want to do: run>jump>A, my controller would input the commands: run>jump> forward A since the stick would still be moving the character forward even though I let go of it. And trust me guys, fox and falco's fairs aren't all amazing. =|

That's a little out of the ways but if one of these days Geno can't host then we might go to your house.
We usually have one TV each for Brawl and Melee. I'll play both, Geno will only play Brawl doubles, Random only plays Melee. Thinkaman only plays Brawl. It's a pretty wide spectrum.
Since my boss is out of town this week I'll be sure to get off work early to be there at 5.
