Wound Cowboy: Stock up. Finally overcomes his 2013 curse of placing 2nd and wins the big one. Or at least a moderately sized one. In the span of a week has caused two different regions to move Sinestro up 5 spots in the tier list. Has taken the throne from KDZ as downplayer supreme by claiming any character that has a remote chance of getting in and taking his first lifebar is a 5-5 matchup. Heads into 2014 with a bright future.



Perfect Legend: Stock up. Counterpicks his way to 2nd while protecting himself with the "I don't play" option select. Doesn't seem to understand stage rules in tournaments despite being a 10 year veteran of fighting game competition with 3 world championships. The biggest win for him happened off stream when he finally made good on his promise of "new tech" against Johnny Cage. The tech being wait until everyone has long quit playing and then beat washed up Cage in a 7-3 matchup.



Max: Stock up. Places top 3 at his first non-local tournament and is the highest placing from Chicago. Has made Doombawkz proud and saved himself from 50 lashes from Emperor Outworld had he failed. Sadly while the grown ups at GGA had assumed Max was smarter than the likes of Wafflez, PPJ and Fill Pops he proved otherwise on Sunday when he asked "so what's an arachnid?" when talking about Sinestro's wakeup attack. I'm serious. "what? Sorry I don't study biology" was his excuse.



Wafflez: Stock up. Finally overcame his master PPJ in the unwinnable 11-0 Hawkgirl vs. Green Lantern MU(can we talk about Green Lantern's mobility?). Had Carl beat but decided full screen machine gun was the best way to finish off a maniac player most famous for teleporting who was playing as Scorpion. Was last seen too emo to go to Steak n Shake.



16 Bit: Stock up. Somehow managed to place top 4 despite the worst choke in a top 16 since P Board Player gave it away to Forever King at EVO. Basically single handedly won the Frostyball Team Exhibition beating like 8 players including half the FF top 8(all unwinnable mu against CW) . This will join the time I closed down CoCo in the great hall of fame topics to brag about at Tony's.



Fill Pops: Stock up. Has completely mastered his Ed Wynn voice and defeated Glass Sword at GBS. Started the great "take the win due to pause" controversy of 2013 which lead to the most ridiculous moment of the year, Rational Jim being called out for a money match. Still has a rich girlfriend.



Glass Sword: Stock up. Perhaps the true winner of the tournament. Drove 12 hours with his nigga Ichokeonkush(HIS WORDS NOT MINE!) to represent AK. Places 5th and defeats the NEC Champion. Popped off after every game he won in tournament. Called Pig on the phone for a pep talk after every other match. Had a more accomplished career in 2013 with zoning than M2Dave.



Pimpimjim: Stock neutral. Finishes a respectable 7th but Mace Charges right into a rocket and loses to Raven after popping off about how Lex beats her. Undaunted, the ever confident PPJ was last heard popping off about how he'll win KIT free and that he is going to add yet more oddball characters to his roster. Caused Carl to turn on GGA by doing his Lex Luthor dance who assumed he was popping off and taunting him instead of just being weird and dancing.



Pantychrist: Stock up. As usual he was bodied by his first round opponent. He then played his losers match and was bodied...but when was told by the TO that he played the wrong opponent and was still in the tournament. Everyone saw this as a chance for Pantychrist to make history by being the first to go 0-3 in a tournament but he shocked us all and actually beat his next opponent.



Zyphox: Stock down. Last stock market had him raging and promising to come to Frosty Faustings in revenge. Expecting his arrival we added him the bracket and he was DQed for no showing. Two tournaments in a row he went 0-2.
