Hello everyone! My name is David Lopez aka "real_diculous" on Twitch and Twitter. I was a finalist in both the 1990 Nintendo World Championships (NJ stop, 12-17 age group) and the 1994 Nintendo Powerfest (Stroudsburg PA stop, on Tornadoes team). After '94, I had to deal with some family issues that woud eventually pull me away from gaming for the next 20+ years.. In addition to being back, I'm also competing in Tetris tournaments, and loving every moment. I entered the CTWC Tetris east coast qualifier in Pittsburgh last July (2018) - my first step making an official comeback (I had played some Fortnite a couple months earlier with my daughter, but I think we can leave that part out haha). Since last July, I've been playing and practicing for this year's CTWC finals and beat my all-time 825k PB, sitting at 878k presently. Then, this year in early January (2019) I was honored when I received a trading card from Twin Galaxies acknowledging my wins in the '90 & '94 tournaments (which I didn't even know was a thing that I'm one of only 3 people in the world to have done it). Super hyped to be back. I go by "DLo" nowadays. If anyone wants to stop by on Twitch, I stream randomly here and there via my username, real_diculous. Thanks for having me! 

Welcome. Have any swag from the comps laying around you want to show off?

Thank you for confirming #0223 exists! I've had it on my "Rumoured to Exist" list for years  

You also have the 12-17 Champion Trophy too!

And with that, here is the updated chart.

Edit: Also realized recently that #0261 was my imagination. I was confusing it with #0026.....so only 4 unconfirmed copies, 1 blurry photo, and 1 rumoured copy floating around. Everything else in white is still MIA.

Sure! I'll gather some stuff and post!

It does exist!

I was actually disheartened to learn that another member posted my cart # as stolen! I have always had this cart in my possession. I know the whole backstory. The other member (who I feel bad for) claims that a mutual friend had stolen his cart, somehow swapped it with mine, and saying that guy has my cart and I have his. This is not the case though as this cart has always been in my possession. I always remember when I received it from Nintendo I thought it was cool that I had a cart similar to my winning score in NJ 1,229,875 (I always remember the 229 and 223 being oddly similar)! I also have in some chats with friends saying to a friend that he might've also recalled loaning his cart out to someone but couldn't remember. I even offered to help him sue the other person because I felt so bad for the guy. It's literally the OJ Simpson case of our time on what happened to his cart. But I don't want people thinking #223 is a stolen cart. It's not.

I do also have the trophy, my name board and some other stuff that I'll post on here soon!

Joseph, the unconfirmed ones are ones that have been said to exist but no proof exists?

Loading some pics now  

 

Wow man pleasure to have you here! I can't wait to see what kind of stuff you can post!

Welcome...

Welcome to the site, glad to have you!

 

 

The ones in red are just from what I consider "reliable verbal sources". I also managed to confirm one more red one so there's only 1 red left!

Yellow's are ones that are actually said to exist, but no proof exist....I kinda labeled them wrong when I started this list years ago and I feel it's too late to reverse the mistake now.

Do you still have your placard?

 

Sorry for some double pics. I'm pretty bad posting here lol

TY!  

TY!  

Thanks! Just posted some pics. A few more to come!

Very cool! Welcome

I do, but I can't find it at the moment! I have this placard though that was placed around the stage on top of the screens in Hollywood. I'm having trouble uploading pics. Not sure if this will delete the others. If it does I'll reupload them.

Since I accidentally deleted everything before I re-uploaded it all here. Sorry!

Some more pics

 

welcome! Cool stuff!!
