Although this was a long time ago, I still must tell you all. Some time around October 2-21, 2004 (could be even earlier) someone in my school handed me a Gamecrazy magazine and showed me that there was going to be a Melee tournment in our area.
Of course, without a doubt, I entered the tournament! (I am known throughout my grade for my impressive skills for my domination in Melee with Falco.)
Anyway, at the time my younger brother was 11 years old and my smallest brother was 7 years old. We were all signed up via phone...out of curiousity I asked the guy how many people signed up and he said "Yeah...there is a lot! 2 1/2 pages worth of people!" I got pretty tense but my brother told me that most of them will probably suck anyhow and that I am probably the best player in the world at that game, he was right.
On the way to the tournament we picked up our friend who is really cheap with Link (does UP+B all the time) and signed him up as well. Now on to the tournament.
When we got to Arby's (the place the tournament was held) the back room was crowded. I was jaw-dropped surprised. There were people that ranged from punk kids with bling blings to little 7 year old n00bs. (Definately not MY 7 year old brother.)
Here was how the tournament was set up: There was a showdown with 2 people each having 3 lives. They would pick their characters and both agree on a stage, fight, and one person would lose and get kicked.
Now I am going to tell you the most interesting showdowns for each one of us:
Me
Well, when I got called to play, I got versed with this girl who vainly stated "I can beat level 8 computers, I am sure to beat you!" I was like
Anyway I disposed of her not losing one life and not even getting 100% damage. I later saw the girl crying in the corner.
My 11 Year Old Brother
It was my brother's turn (his last battle). He defeated this 18 year old kid who was really good. He was one of the punk kids. This was a rough battle with both of them hanging for their life of Starfox's ship. It was Marth (my brother) against Young Link (punk dude) and then my bro did a downward smash right at the perfect timing and sent Young Link down to his doom.
My 7 year old brother
When the time came for my 7-year old brother, the most interesting showdown was probably when he versed this 12 year old plump kid who claimed to be good. Well my brother showed him how to play and killed him with him losing 1 life and the guy losing all 3. At the end he put his controller down (as well as his head) and walked away.
Those were the most interesting of showdowns in the tournament. Of course, we played more than just one battle.
If you already couldn't guess the ending results, I came in 1st, my 11 year old brother came in 2nd, and my 7 year old brother came in 3rd. Although the prizes were a ripoff (scratch and sniff stickers and 2 free rentals) all three of us walked away with happiness and fame.
In case you are wondering, here are the characters we use:
Me- Falco
My 11 year old brother- Marth
My 7 year old brother- Fox
