'''SKTAR 2''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' national tournament directed by {{Sm|Keitaro}} on August 3rd-4th, 2013. The tournament was an [[Apex 2014]] qualifier.

'''SKTAR 2''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' [[major]] tournament directed by {{Sm|Keitaro}} from August 3rd-4th, 2013. The tournament was an [[Apex 2014]] qualifier. Like the previous {{b|SKTAR|tournament}}, it featured international competition, with players such as {{Sm|Mr. R}} and {{Sm|ZeRo}} attending.


The tournament has become known for its upsets; heavily-favored players to win the tournament such as {{Sm|Salem}}, Mr. R, {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|Vinnie}}, {{Sm|Ally}}, and ZeRo were knocked into Losers' bracket earlier than expected by supposedly lower-level players. Among the most notable placings included {{Sm|MVD}} placing 2nd, defeating Vinnie and Ally, {{Sm|Denti}} placing 3rd, taking a set off of Nairo, {{Sm|Nakat}} placing 4th, beating {{Sm|Tyrant}} and ZeRo, {{Sm|Zinoto}} placing 5th, defeating Tyrant, {{Sm|Nick Riddle}}, and {{Sm|Atomsk}}, and {{Sm|Will}} placing 9th, taking sets off of Salem and Mr. R. ZeRo, the most heavily-favored player to win the tournament, placed only 5th, and there were no Meta Knight players in the top 4 placings. Nakat and {{Sm|False}} also took 2nd place in doubles. Nairo and {{Sm|ADHD}} took 1st in teams, defending their title from [[Apex 2013]], and did not lose a single game after being knocked into losers' bracket by Nick Riddle and {{Sm|Shaky}}. Some of the most notable [[money match]]es included {{Sm|Seibrik}} defeating Salem in a best of 7 $50 match (with around $300 in side bets), and {{Sm|TonyT}} defeating {{Sm|MechWarrior}} in a charity event. All the money raised for the fundraiser was donated to {{s|wikipedia|Autism Speaks}}.

ADHD's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KTqCbdT8PE&t=22m53s last-second timeout victory] over ZeRo was regarded as one of the most intense sets of the tournament, and sparked criticism and debate over whether the 8-minute time limit is too short.
ADHD's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KTqCbdT8PE&t=22m53s last-second timeout victory] over ZeRo was regarded as one of the most intense sets of the tournament, and it led to debate over whether the eight minute time limit used in ''Brawl'' tournaments was too short. Owing to the debate, some ''Brawl'' tournaments now use a ten minute timer over an eight minute timer, though the eight minute timer is still in effect for a majority of such tournaments.
