i was 2nd in my store both years they had this

first year i had a piss poor game of nba jam, but made it up with an excellent showing in sonic 3, and i absolutely tore it up in virtua racing. but the guy who ended up winning took a 'sick week' on virtua racing, probably to practice all week, and ended up beating me in the points, just barely

2nd year i joined the SNES side of it, killed it in donkey kong country, can't remember what other games were there...but i ended up 2nd again

Congrats!

I was part ot the winning team in the SoulCalibur 4 team tournament in Chelles in 2009. The vids are probably still out there on the Internet. Didn't feel like much of an accomplishment despite the competition being the best we could find there at the time, being a team thing and all. No prizes either.

Congratulations!

I've never participated in a Mario Kart 64 tournament, but I have good memories of beating someone who has. So I went to a show with a friend of mine, and we ended up coming back to my place with two additional people: a friend of hers and a friend of a friend of hers, both from out of town and wanting a place to stay the night. When the latter saw my N64, he got pretty excited, and started to tell us about his MK64 background. Apparently he and his friend used to play obsessively, would win tournaments, and he himself can barely remember ever losing to anyone except his friend. I asked him if he wanted to play, we did, and I ended up winning. He was seriously in disbelief. He looked at me as if I were some sort of anomaly. "I never lose in this game," he says and further repeats a handful of times until I drop him off somewhere the following morning.

He was a very nice guy, but I've never seen him again because he lives in another state. The other person who came back from the show with us watched the entire thing happen, and is now my girlfriend. I think I got the better prize, OP.
