so, big annual anime club tournament thing
preliminaries were made up of three games:
Street Fighter V (got 3rd in)
Vectorman (negligible position)
NBA Jam (lost first match)
got enough points from street fighter V somehow to survive the preliminaries and into the top 8, from which point we played:
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (went out in the first round)
Gears of War 3 1v1 (lost second match)
didn't qualify for the top 4 games, so that sucked. they're still doing that right now, actually, I was just extremely busy yesterday and couldn't bring myself to stay any longer. final 4 was based on this game:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dengeki_Bunko:_Fighting_Climaxso basically the game where you play as your anime waifu and beat up everyone else. would have crashed and burned if i got that far, but top 4 actually wins prizes (and I made 3rd place last year and wanted to retain that) so i'm actually pretty disappointed. like, all but one of the top 4 were officers because they had a natural advantage since they've actually played, own and chose these games ("i haven't played street fighter V yet" "but you've been playing street fighter 4 regularly for years, you have a working idea of what you're doing!"), so that really tipped the scales.
did win a $20 nintendo e-shop gift card in a raffle though, so I can get the other fire emblem game if i choose to be so frivolous with my money or whatever
