Prince also entered and won the event's "Combo Tournament", placing over top Smash 64 combo specialists such as {{sm|Dext3r}}, {{sm|Mariguas}}, {{sm|tacos}}, and {{sm|Alvin}}. He was personally listed by many Japanese players as someone they wanted to see once top player {{sm|Fukurou}} could not attend, showing his continued status in the community. He had not attended a single tournament since 2013 years but was able to place 9th at Super Smash Con, the biggest Super Smash Bros. 64 tournament to date. |
