I’ve always appreciated Wolfiisaur, and I’m really excited she’s part of Panda Global Gaming’s artist team. She’s on Twitter @PG_Wolfiisaur.

I’m really grateful whenever someone draws any art for me & especially so when it’s fan art of me.

Thank you again Wolfiisaur. You’re the best.

ICYMI: Thank You for Genesis 3

ICYMI = In Case You Missed It

I thought I’d repost my Reddit thank you in my blog:

https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/41lvb4/thank_you_all_for_genesis_3_from_bear/

(Also on Reddit I’m u/BearLAShz and u/BearUNLV; I’ll use u/BearUNLV from now on though)

Genesis 3’s Wii U TO, Bear here:

Thank you all so much for taking time out of your lives to come to play a video game competitively about characters bashing their bodies to high percentages.

SSB64, Wii U, and Melee. Y’all were phenomenal.

Everyone was amazing to meet and I had the pleasure to be your Wii U TO for the weekend. I hope to improve any way I can for any future events I may be your TO for.

Greatly appreciate every single volunteer for giving your time to help make this a success. Without you, we couldn’t have done it and I hope Top 8 Sunday was a great reward of itself. I’m still shaking from all of it.

Please thank all the staff from Showdown for a wonderful stream production, the crew worked so hard to deliver something magical and I’m damn proud to have helped.

Huge thank yous to Boback, Sheridan, and David who believed in me to take on TOing a ~1,100 Wii U event. I’m very humbled to have accomplished this and looking forward to seeing y’all soon enough better improved as well.

Safe journeys back home everyone, Bassem “Bear” Dahdouh

Love Letter to the Smash Bros Community

Earlier this week I wasn’t in the best place with so much family duties to tend to along with esports & my full time aviation job, but a Las Vegas local I’ve never met came to a tournament I TO’d at and thanked me for being a positive impact on the community & to his high school friends. They all are came out their first time to a tournament where they thought they would be bodied but ended up doing quite well. It was very heartwarming to see a group of friends say to themselves “let’s put ourselves out in the real world.”

That fam is what I strive for as a community leader. I don’t care for the winning a tournament, pulling off an awesome Oddshot worthy combo on stream, or being a famous tournament organizer (lolz really I’m nothing special).

It’s about the community. It’s about inspiring someone I’ve never known to come out with his or her friends to have a good time.

To see them smile.
To see them salty.
To see them shy.
To see them shout.
To see them sacrifice a whole night.
To see them Smash.

It’s a beautiful thing to see what I see, and I’m happy y’all like me enough to keep me around.

Thank you to everyone for your support & wonderful heartwarming gestures. I love the local Las Vegas Smash Bros community & they’re growing nicely in this small town (yes we’re not as big as you think we are). And thank you Tesla for reminding me why I got into TOing & community leadership in the first place.

Y’all are awesome. I may be not TOing in March & April for my wedding, honeymoon, & family, but I’ll still be there to help y’all when I can.

All the love & luck,
Bassem “Bear” Dahdouh
