Smash Ace
It was mostly planned by a friend who plays Project M and Melee competitively and is looking to play Smash 4 competitively as well from what I've heard. He's been to a few tournaments and is actually going to an Apex qualifier hosted by Toronto Joe which is definitely proof that he is determined. The tournament was double elimination and the people who attended were notified a week before the tournament started, so it is sort of legitimate in the sense that it was planned by somebody who plays Smash at a rather high level.Hmm.. It's hard to say. It could count, but it depends.
Tell us a bit more about how it all went down - planning and everything.
Points against it counting are the fact that many people who showed up were casual so the only tough competition ended up being the Top 4. Not to mention that the tournament doesn't even have a name and in its most basic form, it's just a bunch of high school kids playing Smash which may be hard to take seriously. You wouldn't even be able to find the results anywhere online like you would for another tournament. Getting 1st is still an achievement although a rather minor one at that and I don't see it being put up on the last.
