BeaIank | 1,621 Events Team · Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Yes. Bert dominated the Balloon Trip mode, but in the main mode it was really close in the 2019 tournament. This game is a lot of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJimtendo | 1,123 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I do appreciate that this game makes it "more" difficult to point press. Chaos at times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koifish | 556 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 sweet, one of my favorites. I don't usually have time for contests anymore but I'm definitely in on this! BTW, no reason I can't use 3DS virtual console version, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic battle between @bertsampson and @Tablew/chairs a few years back in the tournament was it vs play? My friend and I made up rules for head to head competition in college. Also played a pure survival round robin at PAX West a few years ago. Unfortunately I choke harder than Cleveland sports teams in PvP so I never win when it counts.
