Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

The first match of the series Alex "ALTO" Todd headed in choosing "Sephiroth" as his starting character. The University of South Carolina Sumter, defending champion, selected  "Samus" as the starting character. "Samus" proved to be quite the contender against ALTO as they captured the win in game one.  In the second game, the same character match up continued, but this round ALTO was available to land some well-placed aerial neutrals taking the win from Sumter. Both players held the same characters going into the third game. The University of South Carolina Sumter was able to read ALTO's attacks, taking the edge away from the Hawks. In the third game, " Samus" from Sumter took the win, making it 2-1 in the series. The fourth round, ALTO decided to switch things up and began using "Ganondorf". This character change gave the Hawks the advantage, as game four was a close battle from the start. ALTO was able to take the last stock with a suicide move sacrificing one of his own, taking the win from The University of South Caolina Sumter. The fifth and final game proved to be quite the nail biter as both competitors went down to their last stock. But Alex "ALTO" Todd was able to capitalize and finish strong with a virtuous forward smash giving the series to the HACC Hawks 3-2.
