I had a dream I was playing friendlies with ApolloKage in Mario vs Snake, and he was 2 to 3 stocking me every game. I just couldn't close out the stocks.
Then I switched to Marth and started killing him early with tippers everytime. He wins the last game, then he looks at me

If I had a dollar for everytime Chicago won a tourney over 2nd at SSC, I would have two dollars. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Yes. I am not associated with the Chicago TOs. I was responsible for this event getting the traction that it ended up getting. For that, I want to apologize to you and your brother. I'm very sorry that you both had to experience that and I want to reimburse you for-

This is a tough line to draw in the sand and one that will understandably get backlash. The Chicago TOs have been in talks and we recently came to an unanimous agreement to ban Steve's stage (Minecraft World) off the stagelist. We are working on a public statement atm.

Apparently if you ban Kazuya on top, all the sudden these players are going to show up at all once and triple local attendance, trust

I really think it’s crazy that Goldhatcat overthrew Arc as the best Falcon in NA. Some of these Mickey Mouse schovements in neutral that work make me wonder why I work 14 hour shifts at the factory and murder my hands. Consistency can’t be real anymore

Q: Why no more posts?
A: Unfortunately the @ChicagoTourneys team has hit some hurdles on keeping up with the very dedicated Chicago scene.
But that's changing soon!
Stay tuned for some new VIDEOS on all weeklies and monthlies near you soon 👀
Hey Smashers -
How do you keep up w/ current tournaments? What kind of advertising do you feel reaches you best? Like, if there's a new local event, where do you think you'd learn about it best?
It used to be FB in the Smash 4 days, but I feel the algo doesn't help anymore.

A: 1st: $500
2nd: $200
3rd: $100

Would be huge! I'm helping the TOs by getting the word out. They are super passionate, and they are always listening to feedback. People mentioned we need more monthly/big events in the scene so it would really hurt if we lose another one.

If you bring a modded setup to locals you get no discount, infact you have to pay more up front.
Spent 4 hours in the car today setting things up to go to a local to immediately play on a modded setup where I couldn’t see Mario fireballs because of the weird added background to Small Battlefield.
I appreciate community bringing setups but turn your fucking mods off PLEASE.
