Remember when that little game nobody paid any attention to called
Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out ... it was last month,
remember? Well, GameStop helped promote the indie title by
holding a tournament to support the game's fanbase and raise awareness. According to
GameStop, the tournament had over 75,000 players and, following a couple semi-final rounds across the country, culminated last weekend in San Jose with Lee Martin of Houma, Lousiana, emerging victorious.
Martin (pictured above, he's the skinny one) walked away with a 37" LCD-TV, the entire Nintendo Wii software library, a Wii console, selected accessories and $5,000 in cash. Martin brawled against 60 other opponents at the store, district and regional levels on his way to winning the championship. No word yet which fat man pictured Martin got to take home as a trophy for winning.
