[Volt-Ikazuchi]

Apex 2015's Theme = Guile's theme.

Apex just don't die. Best community ever.

 

[Smog Frog]

how long will it take to travel over?

 

[Fish&Herbs19]

According to Prog and PewPewU on twitter, this doesn't have full confirmation yet. The new venue is 45 minutes away from the old venue, so it would take a very long time to transport all the players to the venue

Edit: Nevermind, the new venue is confirmed.

 

[GCS Gaming Customs]

Megabuses about to take over this *****

 

[Ridel]

Ohh thank God, man it would of sucked if you traveled the whole way there just for the event to be cancelled.

 

[megel]

[Moon Monkey]

Okay time to +++ This tourney!

 

[AJawesome07]

Wow, this is another spirit bomb moment. The Smash community is just awesome.

Edit: I'm in math class right now, and I literally could not care less right now about verifying trigonometric identities because this whole situation is amazing.

 

[KenboCalrissian]

Wow, GG Twitch!!

 

[JDavisR (NIX)]

We did it guys, time for some smash!

 

[Logsmash]

What about the matches that were interrupted because of these shenanigans? Hopefully Apex can get it together.

 

[ZomBiehn]

On with the show, any word on times?

 

[J.P]

Well, like Queen once said:

 

[C-SAF]

[KRBAY]

Great news! Here's hoping they don't run into further complications with this than they've already had, my goodness.

Why didn't you use a Bubsy picture?

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

Thanks Nintendo!

I don't think they have anything to do with the venue change.

 

[NiZMO LS1]

I love this community!! Just imagining this mass exodus of Smashers to a promised land via bus makes me smile!

Apex TO's = Gandhi

 

[[Obnoxshush/Dasshizer]]

The show goes on,

Leave us alone cut characters

Well Mewtwo's in. Though we need some more of these guys back.

 

[Pazzo.]

Get hype!!

 

[Zebkeet]

They did it. They pulled victory from the jaws of defeat. Despite all of the things in our way, the weather, PM cancelled, the evacuation, Apex is still ready and raring to go. And this time, with Nintendo on our side. Here's hoping for the best Apex ever. Cheers!!!

 

[Sonic Kirby Elric]

Wow. The power of the internet is unstoppable!!

 

[Modular Zeal]

Is it just me or do y'all think the Smash Community should do something to thank Twitch. I mean seriously we have been waiting for Apex for quite some time and it almost went to hell... I'm just saying they are pretty amazing for doing this for us.

 

[Liam_Butler]

Twitch is officially the first opponent of the Ice Climbers to escape their wobbling antics, without ICs messing up. Apex comes back from the four stock, we going to game three baybee.
