Vasara 2, ESP.Ra.De, Plus Alpha (I have a soft spot for it), some good stuff this year! And some things I've never even heard of (Gratia?).

I suck at all those games, except Robotron and Bomb Jack

I came up on the mean streets of Switch Vasara 2 with its 9 frames of lag. If I ever get a decent port I bet I'd slay.

I’ll join this year, why not?

The only games I’m any good at are Raiden Fighters 2, R-Type Leo, APB, R-Type Leo, and Hyper Duel.

I guess I’ve played a few hours of Robotron, but that’s a really tough one.

Good to hear!

If you take a peek at previous tourneys, it should alleviate some concerns about being good at the games. Most participants are new to most of the games we play.

I'm thrilled to be joining again this time, it's a great opportunity to play games either I'd have never heard of or wouldn't voluntarily subject myself to
