X Tournament Series: The End of Flash 2 9b

X Tournament Series: The End of Flash 2 9b is a pair of tournaments and the very last events, numbered or unnumbered, in the X Tournament Series. Lakota Norberg organized these events as "sendoff" tournaments for Super Smash Flash 2 v0.9b. The two events, named the Hope Arc and Despair Arc, were run drastically different from each other in both ruleset and seedings; the former opting for Season 3 of the Flash Collective Rankings and the latter using Season 2. The two events ran on Veterans Day weekend, 11 and 12 November 2016; and was streamed and casted live by a crew of commentators in Lakota's stream. This event is unique among multi-tournament events in that one player won both tournaments.

Hope Arc
The Hope Arc was more or less a standard tournament format, as well as containing conservative rules such as banning the Charge Shot Glitch and using the Vanilla Stage List (X Version) as the stage list.

Results
12 entrants. 4 DQs.

Despair Arc
The Despair Arc ran similarly to X10: Satori as a Swiss to top cut event with a much more liberal ruleset compared to Hope Arc. It had rules about lag and speed tests and used the latest official Back Room stage list.

Results
16 entrants. 2 DQs, 3 top 8 substitutes.
