there will be all characters

1) superchallenge
2) jamie
3) whole point of brawl in nintendo's eyes is sonic and snake and pleasing/impressing the 12 year olds (and their parents)

I went with Rune, Moose and Scrubs today.
Holy crap, pro smashing is difficult, but n00b tourney's are on a totally different field.

With hazards like smashballs and MAJOR input lag from plasma screens, I'm suprised I placed in the top 6.

Protips:
- Pikachu('s Thunder), Ike, Lucas('s upsmash) and Dedede are top tier for this kind of play.
- INPUT LAG IS LAGGY
- Learn how to use a wiimote. Yeah, they might force you to use them.

I shot a crap tonne of footage from today's festivities, and Imma going to make a movie about it. 'How (not) to win a Scrub Tourney)'

As informed via the email from Nintendo, the rules of the competition games are four players, all characters are available to use (provided they have been unlocked) the matches are run for 2 minutes each and are just a basic match – no stock involved. Players were able to use either the nunchuk+wiimote, wiimote, gc controller or vc controller. After signing up for the competition players are selected at random from the list and then face off against three others
Players who wish to participate in the competition will have photo ID taken of them and then receive a VIP pass to hang around their neck.

Round 1 consists of 48 two-minute matches with four participants in each (192 participants)
Round 2 consists of 12 two-minute matches with four participants in each (48 participants)
Round 3 consists of 4 two-minute matches with three participants in each (12 participants)
The final round is the four remaining participants competing against each other in a 20 minute match.

From a poster on Aussie-Nintendo.com

Annoyed that they're 2 minute matches, gonna come down to who gets the smash balls first, so not too bad with that (Most likely be using PT) otherwise might just go with power and go Dedede.

In the Semi-final they changed the ruleset to 3 stock, 1.5 damage ratio.
I was in a group of 3, and Fox got the landmaster twice -___-

Hmm, 2 min KO Fest hey


I might get some practise in as Dedede or even DK, they seem more well suited to this type of match than the stock matches.

Lol went to it, horrible rules, got to second round then got kicked cos a guy got a lucky smash ball.

:(

Also they said all characters unlocked, and they were missing some characters.

But yeah, pretty fun.

I'll probably be going tomorrow, definitely going Saturday. Probably not Sunday, though there is a chance. Dunno about Monday.

Meh. Prizes sound lame. Wouldn't mind a local version of Brawl though, I guess..

So I'm heading to the Monday 7th date in Carousel, Perth.
I'm assuming we sign up on the day? Nothing to do with prior online stuff?

I'll most likely be wearing semi-faded jeans with a Dream Theater t-shirt, hoodie and jaded facial expression with a very faded red stripe in my hair (so it looks pink/bright purple).

Say hello if you spot me.
