Oh hey look, it's ya boy back again for another shine compendium.
A lot of you know who I am, but for those that don't allow me to share some of the highlights of my Shine 2017 trip, many of which I hope to do again:

- I once beat both Dan and Trevor in melee
- got KBBQ with Etalus and Trevor, where they gave me info on unreleased characters
- walked around NYC in a skirt and things
- drank Arizona Iced Tea with some of the finest RoA players out there
- ruffles CakeAssault's hair and said "Atta boy"
- lost my last $1 bill in a money match to LBO
- met the (at the time) president of the USA, Ronald McDonald 
- got an uber with driver that had the authentic BAWSTON accent
- did some commentary with both CREATOR dan and ya boy Goerge, proving to thousands that dreams do come true for game developers
- found good coffee in NYC (probs the hardest thing I did)
- refused devils lettuce by a fellow pro gamer
- touched the moustache of riskyCB (with his permission)
- saw turquoise rip the phatest vape you've ever seen, from the comfort of my AirBnB
- And finally, made Toko a nice, home cooked meal

While of course I did more than just this, I still want to add to this list, so I hope you'll vote for me.
God bless you all!

Shine 2018

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.

DRAGON BALL FighterZ

DRAGON BALL FighterZ is born from what makes the DRAGON BALL series so loved and famous: endless spectacular fights with its all-powerful fighters.

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.
