I recently lost my job, but almost had enough saved up to go to Shine 2017, one of the main events in the Rivals of Aether Championship Series. I will almost assuredly not be able to go otherwise.  If I do end up being able to go, I'd love to help George out by running pools/Commentary/Getting new people to try rivals in my off time. I've been grinding a ton since Bigger Balcony, and I'd love to be able to show that offline. 

FOR EVERY VOTE I GET, I WILL KISS/PET MY KITTEN

As well I'm going to be streaming most days leading up to the event at http://www.twitch.tv/forceofwillby

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.
