Gamers challenge deputies to Smash Bros games before they tax video games

The senators want everything to be decided in a game of dominoes

Skilled Enclosure.- Gamers from across the country are challenging senators to a game of Smash Bros to determine whether or not the tax on video games passes.

After the Senate approved new taxes on “violent” video games, an alliance of Mexican gamers launched a public challenge to legislators: face them in a game of Super Smash Bros before the measure comes into force.

The Smash game could decide everything

“QWe want to see if they can at least make a combo before going around supervising other people’s entertainment. “Let them beat us even one round before going around making their little changes,” ddeclared a player dressed as Mario while cleaning his GameCube controller.

The challenge would take place in the same San Lázaro venue, where the E-sports Federation would install giant screens, folding chairs and a prize pool that includes the national debate on new contributions to the Tetris.

So far, only one politician has shown real interest in the duel, stating that “he did, but with Bowser and with a two-life advantage.”

If it comes to fruition, the event would be broadcast on Twitch, with live narration and counting of votes for lives lost, in addition to the promise of repealing the new law that would increase the price of all entertainment that is not dominoes, cards of cards or anything else played by the monolingual boomers in Congress.

And to be up to date: some IMSS doctors made fun of a patient, and this is how it went on the networks.
