Smash Lord
Between 2008 and 2009, the Tournois du Super Lion (TSL) had become a major tournament series in France with 5 great editions, including a 175-players one. It also brought to (smash) life the Lyon region, that had only three total newcomers in 2008 but became the most active region in France by far, with many top-ranked players. Basically, a success story...
And yet, there were no TSL between early 2010 and 2012. Until the Lyon players got fed up with it and announced this :
TSL:R! happened this weekend, and one thing is certain: it delivered. Among the 55 attendees, all the contenders for the #1 French Melee player title attending, and so did most of the high level players, but also many new faces, some of them attending a tournament for the first time. All the smash active regions were there, and we saw many fantastic sets!
Massive thanks to the hosts, porc and Salepâte, who managed to host an excellent tournament while performing extremely well. Thanks to all the people whop helped hosting the events, especially Benji, a friend of porc and Salepâte who took care of the food and drinks, serving us sandwiches for 1€ and drinks for 0.5€ (!). To give you an idea of the atmosphère at this tournament, this guy really doesn't like video games, and yet he loved being there. Thanks to everyone who attended, including Seya, an Italian player studying in Lyon, who took many pictures of the event, as you can see here : https://picasaweb.google.com/112564...iDuSuperLionRise?authkey=Gv1sRgCLmw_JzvgICHVg

Well... you may have noticed that the date of the tournament is tomorrow and the day after.
It was a bit useless to create a thread in tournament listings, as the small venue prevented us from having a large turnout. And well, it's too late anyway, so I'll use this thread, which will be ready for results.
There will be around 55 attendants, coming from everywhere in France, and most of the big names in the French community will be there, including the 5 major contenders for the #1 title in France :
), Aska*[/color] (), Aether[/color] (), Willy (/), Doraki[/color] (), Qlex[/color] (:ganonmelee, Mahie (the whole cast... almost literally)
*Aska is supposed to attend but didn't confirm yet.

There will be around 55 attendants, coming from everywhere in France, and most of the big names in the French community will be there, including the 5 major contenders for the #1 title in France :
- Cyr (/) : Best Samus in Europe, best Falcon in France, he beat every top French player but Iñf' in a set at least once during the past year. Yet he only won 2 fairly small tournaments, placing 2nd most of the time. He's the most consistent French player.
- Salepâte[/color] () : best French Marth, with a very peculiar style partly based on powershields, he's able to go from the best to the worst. His main weakness is his abitilty to handle pressure, but he's definitely capable of holding it down to claim first place.
- Tekk[/color] () one of the best Jigglypuff in Europe, if not the best : he improved a lot in the past year, taking a undeniable place in the French top. He placed 9th at Beast 2, and won the last big French tournament. But he also sometimes shows difficulties against lower level players, losing to me and barely winning vs Samplay.
- Iñf'[/color] () : one of the best Jigglypuff players in Europe. He only attended 2 tournaments in more than one year, but won both of them. For his comeback after 10 months without entering a tournament, he'll have to show if he still has it.
- Baxon[/color] () : the best French Falco. He's been a contender for the title of best French player for a while. He missed some major tournament this year due to personnal problems, but came back strong placing 3rd at ESA:J.
), Aska*[/color] (), Aether[/color] (), Willy (/), Doraki[/color] (), Qlex[/color] (:ganonmelee, Mahie (the whole cast... almost literally)*Aska is supposed to attend but didn't confirm yet.
