Mandatory post-event Kenna. As it turns out she is very cool with wearing lanyards, this may be a new thing.

If you really want to act like an authority on the state of the FGC, you *might* want to know about successful events running in your own state.

All I did yesterday was lay around the house and play Hades II on my steam deck. Rest did my body good, and Supergiant has once again made a banger.

I'm extremely proud of the work we put into SQ XL this weekend, and it's great to know that so many other teams and events are popping too! The regional resurgence is a beautiful thing.

TheHadou @thehadou.com · 10d

From Slashback, to Roundhouse, to R.I.S.C, Max Mode, Beast in the East, Midwest Mixfest, Central Florida Face-Off, D.I.Y., SQ, C3 & many more, we’re seeing a welcome new era of regional events growing quickly in the US.

Find one, or build one, near you and get some games in.

The post-event beer hit my body like a truck.

Thank you all for coming to #SQXL2025, I will say more tomorrow when I have slept.

SQXL felt like it was run and done great the entire way through but it definitely has me in the aftermath like

A woman laying down on a couch. A cute blanket is draped over her. with her forearm draped over her forehead, looking bewildered and exhausted, but satisfied with her accomplishments.

We are up and getting moving ahead of SQ XL Day 2! Lots of action going both in-venue and on stream today: Strive, Granblue, 2XKO, BlazBlue, and MBAACC all crowning champions today!

PineappleHour 🔜 CoN @pineapplehour.com · 13d

SQ XL Day 1 it's time to party (set up the venue and run the stage for the MajinObama stream)

PineappleHour 🔜 CoN @pineapplehour.com · 13d

SQ XL Raid Trip pre-local was a success (apart from my bracket runs being scrapped thanks to a controller issue.) So now the real work begins bright and early tomorrow.

Starting my day with Monuts breakfast, it's not walkable from the venue (it's over by Duke's campus) but you cannot go wrong with donuts and coffee.

PineappleHour 🔜 CoN @pineapplehour.com · 14d

SQ XL weekend is upon us! Lots of last minute things to do today, very excited to see everyone at the pre-local tonight!

C. Viper looks shockingly intact. Capcom is 2 for 2 on cool characters this season, I pray Alex gets the same treatment.

PineappleHour 🔜 CoN @pineapplehour.com · 16d

I am incredibly excited to show everyone how much love and care has gone into SQ XL. This weekend is going to be one for the books

And that is Closed Beta Grandmaster! Not too shabby for this being my first tag game. I have also not run into anyone running my team, which feels insane given the small roster.
