**Bring the best of both worlds to G5! Mexico & Japan represent!**

**Yu** is one of the best players from **Mexico** and **Japan**,  ranked **#3 in both countries** with his sick Falco play and combos! Please consider supporting his attendance to G5 as it is an opportunity like no other and will be a great way to showcase the talent and skill of international play!

~ In a land where spacies are rare, Yu rose above the Yoshis, floaties and all adversaries to make his mark amongst the best in Japan, even beating the likes of **aMSa, Rudolph, Shippu** and becoming the **KVO x TSB champion** in Osaka!

~ In Mexico, where **Javi** stands mighty after all these years, Yu has been one of the few players to challenge him, beating the rest of the competition along the way, like **Twin, Valdo, .jpg**, among others.

Not only is Yu a great player, but also a great member of the Smash community wherever he resides. In Japan he's inspired a whole new wave of spacie mains and in Mexico he coaches players regularly to help them grow. He is someone genuinely invested in the growth of the community and representing his countries on the big stage!

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Super Smash Bros. Melee is the second installment in the Super Smash Bros. series and the follow-up to the Nintendo 64 title. It includes all playable characters from the first game, and also adds characters from franchises such as Fire Emblem, of which no games had been released outside Japan at the time. Super Smash Bros. Melee builds on the first game by adding new gameplay features and playable characters: it's major focus is the multiplayer mode, while still offering a number of single-player modes.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the fourth console-based entry in the popular Super Smash Bros. series of fighting games. With an even larger roster of fighters than its predecessors and the introduction eight player battles, Smash for Wii U continues to add to the formula that gamers have loved since 1999.

Super Smash Bros.

Super Smash Bros. is a crossover fighting video game between several different Nintendo franchises, and the first installment in the Super Smash Bros. series. Players must defeat their opponents multiple times in a fighting frenzy of items and power-ups. Super Smash Bros. is a departure from the general genre of fighting games: instead of depleting an opponent's life bar, the players seek to knock opposing characters off a stage. Each player has a damage total, represented by a percentage, which rises as the damage is taken.

Rivals of Aether

Rivals of Aether is an indie fighting game set in a world where warring civilizations summon the power of Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. Play with up to four players locally or up to two players online.

Splatoon 2 is a multiplayer third-person shooter in which players control characters known as Inklings and use colored ink to attack opponents and clear goals. Inklings can alternate between humanoid form, during which they can fire ink with their weapons, and squid form, which allows them to swim through ink of their own color in order to move quickly and replenish ink supplies.

Dance Dance Revolution Extreme

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite will feature a variety of exciting and accessible single player modes and rich multi-player content for new players and longtime fans alike. In addition to single player Arcade, Training and Mission modes, a visually stunning and immersive cinematic Story Mode will put players at the center of both universes as they battle for survival against a sinister new threat. Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is being built to highlight a combination of iconic locations and fan favorite characters from both universes, including Captain Marvel and Iron Man from the Marvel side, and Ryu and Mega Man X from Capcom.
