Super Smash Bros
Show Me Your Moves

It was considered to be one the tightest competitions at the Pill Bug
Olympics and it certainly lived up to the hype. The Super Smash Bros competion
was fierce, but in the end, the Metroid won the gold. It started with eight
athletes from all five participating countries. The set up was simple. There
would be two rounds. The first round would have two games, the first game between
four contestants and the second game against the remaining four contestants. The
first and second place finishers from both first round games would come together
for a final round. The game would be played on a time basis. For anyone not
familiar with Super Smash Bros, that means the winner is the person who,
in a set amount of time, can through his opponents off the edge. The
brackets were filled out randomly and the first game found Be of
Butenia, Kristine of Marlyando, Eric of Otros, and Chinsey of Campbella
squaring off. The second round had Troy of Butenia, Stephen of Marylando,
Aubrey of Otros, and Pill Bug of Buggland.
The rules stated that if you did make it to the second round you could
not be the same character as you were in the first round. This meant the players
couldn't play with their favorite character in the first round if they wanted
to use them in the second round. The first game had Be as Kirby taking first
and Kristine as Captain Falcon taking second. The second game had Stephen
as Link taking first and Troy as Captain Falcon taking second. So the final
match was set. It would be two from team Butenia against two from team
Marylando. Be decided to take Captain Falcon for this round. The character of
Captain Falcon wasn't Be's best, Kirby was, but she had already used him.
Captain Falcon had gotten two people to the final round so it was a safe decision.
Kristine went with Samus who was by far her best character. Stephen went
with Jigglypuff and Troy went with Luigi.
  The final round was intense. Before the final screen came on it was
pretty unclear who would win. Well it was pretty sure it wasn't going to be
Troy cause he played like a senior citizen but the other three were all about
even. Then the final reselts were annouced: Broze went to Stephen of Marylando,
Silver to Be of Butenia, and Gold to Kristine of Marylando.
