This is the first defeat for Zero in a Smash Bros. Wii U tournament. Additionally, it ends his 56-tournament winning streak.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Director’s Cut was supposed to hit store shelves in September. Just a short while before its release, however, it was pushed back to October. Now the physical title has been delayed once again.

The final score was 270 points for Team Cat and 230 points for Team Dog.
