And it doesn't help that said girl is an actress:

Hopefully the almighty Internet doesn't give her a hard time.

[Psychospacecow]

Meh, she was still very impressive regardless.

Also, charge your phone.

[Berry]

I dunno Psycho, It probably was some hidden controller or something but hey, she could be a diamond in the rough so who knows.

Anywho, That's not my phone. Now thinking about it, I don't even own a phone...

[Takahashi2212]

Turns out it was all a hoax.

[Psychospacecow]

Went across a hilarious mirror match first thing today. We both chose villager. The other person would hide at the edge, plant the tree, I would catch it, launch him, then hit him with the lloid as he came back. It was like a horizontal villager play.

Note. None of this is confirmed or denied by D1. This is entirely my own detective work from start to finish. I nor was anybody I was with in on this, proof of that being I had no idea this was going on until the morning of, Texts with D1 can confirm that.
Eric, Matt, Anthony, Zenas, and I went to a Gamestop event which D1 was hosting. Strides actually texted Tyrant while we were on the way saying something like 'some little girl shiek is just bodying everybody' and we're all like, 'here we go, free free free'. We get there. they waited in line and played, but I went up closer to the stage area to commentate and be
hype. The cameras were on D1 and me, it was hype, we were having a good time. Then the girl came, Karissa. She played people and she was doing some impressive stuff and we were all getting SUPER hyped because she was reading rolls, using filt combos on Shiek... but it's when she did a really nasty Z drop combo against Tyrants Diddykong that I was like...
okay wait a second. I played Ramin PLENTY of times and have gotten bodied about 90% of them. There's no way that what she's doing is technically possible. Especially because during her game play she was performing combos without looking at the screen, while she was showboating. Upon further inspection I used an excuse to get behind the counter. Being super tall it was really easy for me to see behind the desk without getting 'back there' too much. Beyond this there were a multitude of things wrong. (impossible inputs. Claiming she's never
played X character then being amazing with them. etc etc) You know the Wii U plug thing? Where you put gamecube controllers? There were 3 ports, one with a fancy sticker and the other two just normal. The two ports went into the front where we were, and one went behind the stage area. It was at that point i pressured d1 and told him that I knew something was kinda fishy. He gave me a really stern 'lets talk about this later so i don't get shot in the face' look and I'm like alright.
As the day progressed and we all got beaten by her I dropped it and Didn't say anything. It already got out that we got beaten by a 10 year old, Elliot Bastien wouldn't shut the hell up, Xaltis who just wanted to believe, and Gonzalo would post anything to protect his ego as to not be the golden child anymore, and then Max and Eric among others have been trying to be detectives from the get go. It's totally okay to be skeptical. well you should have been. As if it wasn't obvious enough, nobody RANDOM is going to come and beat anybody,
especially tyrant who would rather kill his family then lose to somebody bad in a public setting. We were all hyped ,angry, and upset but I shared my theory with the group and we all agreed that something wasn't right. So I had to see if my plan was actually correct. So I told D1 i would meet him back at game stop but that I was a good distance away, when in reality I was a few steps. I noticed that a certain smasher was leaving gamestop. When I named the smasher out of excitement he turned his head and quickly walked away. I was then approached by D1 who had worried look on his face to which I told him:
'I know about NDA's and stuff, and I don't want you to confirm or deny anything. But rest assured I will not tell anybody who that person was as I value you keeping your job.' and we stopped talking about it right after that.
I will not reveal who that person was as I am going to respect the oath I gave D1. D1 did not tell me or confirm any of this. But some of you are acting super childish saying that I as well as my friends exploited smash and made money.
Which is a huge shame on you, Adam I honestly can't believe you would even humor the thought that we would do such a thing. Being in the smash community for over 12 years and not once have I ever taken, abused, or even took for granted the privilege of being apart of this family and even with this 'league fame' i've done nothing but give back to smash. From donating near 9k to Melee at Evo to trying to make Apex as hype and as affordable as possible for any of you to think that I would do this to make 350$ is laughable.
I'm disappointed in the death threats I've received, as they are hilarious as they are alarming. But honestly? the real people who got 'beat by a 10 year old' are all of you who are seriously that upset that Gamestop tried to make something cute happen, to remind our players that we shouldn't take things like this too seriously. Who cares if some of the players there were paid? Who cares if they were trying to pull the wool over our eyes? It's a fucking CHILDRENS GAME THAT WE MADE COMPETITIVE. NINTENDOS GOAL ISN'T THE SAME AS YOURS SO STOP BEING SO PRETENTIOUS INTO THINKING THAT YOUR MINDSET IS ABSOLOUTE.
When Kelvin trolls every other month we're all fine with that, and when Oscar told all of his friends to say that he killed himself we just brush that under the rug. But a cute stunt by gamestop and you all lose your fucking minds.
So jokes on you, and the cat's out of the bag. You can think what you want. But I'm really dissapointed in you guys. Not that you care, right? I'm a random who's rich because I sold my soul to league and fame and money. Lmao. Karissa really was the GOAT.
TL;DR: Karissa is a prank that I nor my friends that went with me had ANYTHING to do with, and the only reason I figured it out was some light detective work, and all of you should feel incredibly bad for letting a 10 year old girl drive you crazy. I know who the player was behind it but I promised not to tell, and that's a gag order that I plan on keeping.
EDIT: Im NOT Sky i just copy-pasted his Facebook post

I was believer!

Leffens reaction to this is effing stupid too.

Amazing TAS for everyone else:

[JiraiyaSennin]

TFW I have to wait a week after release to get Smash 4.

[TheTrueBoss997]

So we got the Amiibo's shipped in and I was able to get a good look on them. I must say though that any non human figure (besides Mario and Samus) looks really great. Figures like Link, Peach and Marth all have these derpy faces that really look bad. I personally think the Samus one looks the best out of the first wave, hoping for better results when the second wave comes out.

[BumblebeeCody*]

What really pisses me off is that Nintendo added a small aluminium strip at the bottom of the figure to stop people from unwrapping them.
