Welcome back to the Long Island Smash Weekly Recap. Today is going to be a bit of a long one as there are so many things to cover. Let’s dive into it, shall we!!!!??
Ultimate Rare #50 THE BIG 50
Ultimate Rare has reached their 50th Super Smash Bros Ultimate Tournament Event as it was celebrated with food and drinks, but enough with the fun let’s talk about the tournament itself!! First, we got another game 5 set with Joker player Gmx and returning Kazuya player Skeet who only played Snake the entire tournament. It was a back to back set until Skeet came on top, defeating the Joker player, sending him to losers side of the bracket where he fell victim to revenge to Sonic player Revenge Of The Duke in a 3-0 set placing him 9th.
DQs do not matter if you are willing to start your run in losers!!! Min Min player [REDACTED] showed up late to the party, causing him to DQ a set with Cloud player Blacthulhu who would advance to face off with Mario player Ajred. Ajred came out on top sending Blacthulu to losers 3-0. However, that did not stop [REDACTED] from making a losers run as he defeats the now Diddy Kong player SkorZ 3-0 and Little Mac player No T. 3-0 to advance to losers side top 8 with no games dropped. But the veteran Min Min player ran into a red hot Dukester who took the set 3-0, placing [REDACTED] in 7th place. The runback is real as Young Link player Aminayski rematches his winners round 1 against Mario player SMT.
Back in Winners Round 1, It was a very close game 5 set where SMT brutally wins the first game, but that drove Aminayski to adapt harder as he took the next 2 games giving him a 2-1 lead against the Mario player as he was about to close out on game 4 he missed a big opportunity and didn’t go for the punish which caused SMT to finally get the kill and force the set to go to a game 5. Game 5 was brutal, as both players were playing with time and taking things very cautiously but SMT defeats the Young Link player after a long set sending him to losers. Aminayski would eventually go on a losers run defeating players such as long time returning Kirby player hew 3-0, Skeet 3-1, and another long time returning player Sora player Echro. Echro played different characters for matchup purposes and took a game with Roy, but Aminayski would eventually defeat the player in a 3-1 victory advancing him to face off the player who sent him to losers, none other than Mario player SMT who was on a string of excellent tournament results. Things didn’t look good for the Young Link player, as SMT would take the first 2 games creating a 2-0 lead, but Aminayski bounced back in the next 2 games, forcing another Game 5 between these 2 players. It was an intense match, but Aminayski defeats SMT in a reverse 3-0 and advancing the Young Link player to Losers Semi-Finals, to face against Rosalina player Entendre who ends his run in a 3-0 victory, placing the Young Link player 4th in the tournament.
Entendre would face off Mario player Ajred who defeated the Rosalina player earlier in Winners Semi-Finals with a 3-1 victory. Entendre got their runback against the Mario player, ending it with a 3-0 victory advancing to Grand Finals to face off Peach Player Player 4. It was another intense Grand Finals but at the end Player 4 won it all with a 3-2 victory.

Gotham City Smash
To start off we got returning Luigi player GuyGuy, however he decided to give the green plumber a break and sent out his R.O.B defeating his first round Byleth player Christian 2-0 advancing to Winners Quarter-Finals. PkChris would defeat GuyGuy 2-0, sending him to Losers to be defeated by Isabelle player ArchAngel in a 2-1 set ending his run in 9th place. I guess Peach is on vacation to delfino plaza because Peach player Cody also decided to give the princess a break and sent out his Min Min as he defeats Sonic player Revenge of The Duke 2-0 and Rosalina player Entendre 2-0, but would fall into the hands of Kazuya player Wheezer who defeated him in a close match 2-1 sending his Min Min to losers side of the bracket where he would be defeated by Archangel placing Cody 5th place. Isabelle player Archangel made a great losers run after being defeated by Rosalina player Entendre 2-0. He would go on to defeat Peach player Deezhands 2-0, Sonic player Revenge Of The Duke 2-0, GuyGuy 2-1, Alph player Nico 2-0, Cody’s Min Min 2-0 to advance in Losers Semi -Finals to duke it out with Fox player Stratas. The set was very close as it was so hard to determine who would be the victor but in the end Stratas takes the kill and advances to Losers Final leaving Archangel 4th in the tournament. Stratas would face off Kazuya player Wheezer who was defeated by PkChris in Winners Finals. As the two faced off, Stratas put his all but Wheezer takes him down with a electrifying 3-1 victory placing the Fox player 3rd as Wheezer advances to Grand Finals to get his runback on PkChris. As we reach the end of the tournament, PkChris takes it home with a 3-0 victory against Wheezer.

Wolfie Wars Monthly 17
Stony Brook University is back at it with the last Wolfie Wars Smash Tournament for semester. As we start off with a great upset from Young Link player Aminayski who defeated Yoshi player Raptor in a 2-0 victory and advanced to play against Samus player Rawk. Rawk defeated the Young Link player 2-0, sending him to losers where he would defeat Bowser Player X!Akuma 2-0 who also played Palutena. He then would face off in a intense match against Steve player MixyCat :3 as it was a battle for time. Mixycat :3 takes the set defeating Aminayski 2-1 with only 5 seconds left to the final game last hit last stock as Mixycat :3 was at 166% and Aminayski was at 124% leaving the Young Link player 13th place in the tournament. Mixycat :3 advances to the top 8 qualifiers in a ditto against Steve player sorbi in which sorbi gets the victory 2-0 advancing to Top 8 losers side ending Mixycat :3’s run at 9th place.
Yoshi main Raptor did not let his loss affect him as he went on a hunt in losers side defeating kirby player hew 2-0, Sora player Echro 2-0, Bowser/Snake player Glial 2-0, and Sora player Bopit! 2-1 to face off Bayonetta player Amaryllis for Losers Top 8. Amaryllis came victorious with a 2-0 over Raptor advancing to Top 8 losers and leaving the Yoshi player in 9th place. Amaryllis would defeat Samus player Rawk in a very close 3-2 set placing Rawk in 7th, but would eventually be defeated by Kazuya main Wheezer 3-0 placing the Bayonetta player in 5th.
Captain Falcon player SirDunk really knows how to dunk on those players as he went on a tear!!! He would defeat poobadooba 2-0 and Glial 2-0 before getting sent to losers by Cody, where he would tear it up by defeating Min Min player Meka 2-0 but would soon fight a hard battle against Steve player sorbi. His Cloud didn’t work out so he went back to Captain Falcon. Sorbi was at a 2-0 lead until SirDunk was awoken and started going off on sorbi game 3, game 4 and finally defeats the Steve player Game 5 in a reverse 3-0 leaving the final score 3-2 ending sorbis run at 7th place. SirDunk also defeated former Pichu now Joker player layla in a 3-1 set advancing to Losers Semi Finals to Kazuya player Wheezer. Things did not look good for SirDunk as Wheezer gets the upper hand with a 2-0 lead but giving up is not in SirDunk’s agenda as he started to tear the Kazuya player for the next 2 games, forcing it to a game 5 where things were so high at stake but then SirDunk ended the set by dunking on Wheezer with a dair spike defeating the Kazuya player with a upset placing him 4th.
As SirDunk advances to Losers Finals to get his runback against Peach player Cody who was defeated by PkChris in a very close Game 5 set in Winners Finals with the Ness player winning 3-2 over Cody, SirDunk starts off strong, but Cody showed that he was prepared for this moment leading the set 2-0. Sirdunk was on fire on Game 3 by having 3 stocks to 1 against Cody but Cody played out of his mind and reverse 3 stocked the Captain Falcon player taking the win 3-0 placing SirDunk at 3rd. Cody advanced to Grand Finals to also get his runback on PkChris as the two clash head to head. PkChris came out strong and takes it home again with a 3-1 victory against the Peach player who ended up in 2nd as the Ness player continues his dynasty by claiming another 1st place.

Shield Breaker #29
If you think the Sunday snow was random how about the Top 3 going Random!!! We are going to start with a great run from Palutena player Finn who would defeat Mii Brawler player Louie 3-1 before being defeated by Sora player Hikari 3-1 forcing him to continue his run in losers where he would defeat Sonic player Revenge Of The Duke 3-1 to advance in Losers Semi-Finals to face against Mii Swordfighter player Taiyo in which Taiyo defeats Finn 3-0 leaving the Palutena player in 4th place. Taiyo would continue his run after a random ditto with Pac-Man Yufine in Winners Semi-Final which resulted in Yufine’s 3-1 victory over Taiyo. He advances to Losers Final so he can face Hikari who also was defeated by Yufine in a random ditto 3-0 in Winners Finals. Hikari clutched out the win 3-0 placing Taiyo in 3rd. As Hikari advances to get his runback on Yufine in Grand Finals they surprisingly agreed to a Mii Swordfighter ditto in the first game which Yufine took the first game. Things got serious after that as they both switched back to their respective mains. It was a very close set as Hikari forced a game 5 by hitting a random bell up b combo in which for some reason it looked like yufine was about to escape but was scooped slowly back to Soras up b and dies. As game 5 plays out Hikari wanted to get the reset but Pac-man player Yufine rejected it by ending game 5 in his favor taking it home with 1st place and 2nd place for the Sora player.
