Does too much homework limit your video-gaming hours? Well, Anime Club has found a solution.

The club brought together avid video game players for a ‘Super Smash Bros’ tournament, which was organized by sophomore Matthew Lewis.

Sixty competitors answered the call, ready for competitive rounds of the popular fighting game.

For non-gamers, ‘Super Smash Bros’ is the ultimate combination of Nintendo classic characters: Pikachu, Mario, Luigi and Donkey Kong, to name a few. In multi-player mode, the objective is to kill off competing characters in order to advance to the next round.

Prelims for the ‘Super Smash Bros’ tournament began on Oct. 24. Each of the 60 competitors was given unlimited playing time, but only two lives.

“There were four people per round and the two people with the highest score went on to the next round,” said Ms. Sarah Rowe, the tournament’s sponsor.

The first round thinned out the crowd of competitors, leaving behind only a select few for finals on Oct. 31.

During finals, players only had one life. Restricting players in this sense made play more intense and sped up the progress of the tournament.

In the end, Lewis was declared winner.

“During prelims I would say it was pretty intense because of the amount of people, but finals were more relaxed until it boiled down to just two people,” said Lewis.
