Last year, Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime made a shocking confession: he sucked at Smash Bros. But he swore he’d be back a year later to kick some arse, and true to his word, return today he did. He just forgot the part about kicking arse.
Before it went down, he was talking the talk!
But when the Reggienator actually took to the stage during the 2015 Nintendo World Championships to square off against Hungrybox, despite a year’s worth of practice he got his arse handed to him by one of the Smash Community’s best.
Reggie made amends in the post-game, though. This was stone cold.

You sure it was “kick”?
This pro is a guy who would kick anybody who thinks they are awesome at the game.
Goddamnit, Reggie.
