Super Smash 2021 Concluded with Historic and Tremendous Success
A HUGE THANK YOU to all 400+ players who participated at this historic tournament! Special thanks to those who travelled out of town from Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, San Diego, New Jersey, and New York.
Extra “thank you” to those who brought toys and art supplies for the donation drive for Rafael House, and extra donations to ALMS! We are grateful for your generosity.
Special thanks for all the volunteers and helpers. Without you, this event would not be possible.
This is the first time Kiera, our tournament robot, was fully deployed. Over 1000+ matches were played in just 2 days! That is a feat of accomplishment in itself!
Stay tuned and join us next time in Sonic Smash 2022 (Summer 2022).

Donation Drive
8.7.2021
Dear participants:
We’re happy to announce that during Super Smash 2021, ALMS will be hosting a donation drive for Raphael House (https://www.raphaelhouse.org) for new toys, board games and art supplies. Raphael has been in operation for 50 years and has helped countless children and teens. The items we need for this drive are:
> Toys for kids of all ages
> Art supplies/art kits
> Board games
> Books
We all have a box of crayons that has never been used, or received a gift that your child doesn’t want. All of those are great items to donate! Kindly bring them and Rafael House would be more than happy to accept them for children in need.
Please donate NEW ITEMS ONLY. Used items are not accepted due to hygienic concern.
Thank you for your generosity.
