E3 2014 - Super Smash Bros. Invitational - Players/Rules Announced

[spader13]

I think Nintendo just won E3.

While I probably won't end up making it to a Best Buy because the lines would be agonizing, I'm pumped to see all the footage streaming in to get a taste for the games!

 

[Rosalina suporter]

Oh my goodness this is so awesome,I hope that theres some Demos that come to the eshop.

 

[Praxis]

I just hope they invite players who can behave professionally as well so we don't embarrass the scene. Like Hungrybox.
M2K and Mango can behave...erratically...

 

[ElectricCitrus]

Jesus on a bun this is awesome! There is a best buy like twenty minutes away from me, so heres hoping the line isnt super long. Also release date for 3DS pretty soon after E3?

 

[Mic_128]

Well, crap. The closest Best Buy store is 2 hours away...

Could be worse, you've at least got some on your continent

 

[Chimera]

July I'm guessing. Maybe even late June.

Drop kick your way to victory!

 

[QuickRat]

Well... Shibata could do something... Could, because he won't

 

[WheelerFGC]

Good point. A 2 hour drive in Eastern Washington summer weather isn't very pleasant though.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but supposedly M2K had some hands on time with Smash 4 at E3 last year, so who knows?

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

If best buy know how popular ssb4 is im sure positive that they are going to pack it with so many ssb4 demos it will be unbelieveable

 

[ElectricCitrus]

Drop kick your way to victory!

I'd rather Flacon knee of justice my way to much success.

 

[Spazzy_D]

Amazing. That is all.

 

[Plain Yogurt]

I hope it comes to the Best Buy near me this time. Otherwise I'm gonna have to take a road trip.

 

[Sonic Poke]

I think we're going to get more information than what we imagine.

 

[APC99]

Great. Now I have to convince my parents I must leave the state early June to go to a Best Buy in Illinois, because of course Wisconsin has no Best Buys involved in it.

 

[mimgrim]

Sounds a bit paranoid, and besides I don't think we could find new advanced techniques in the duration of a tournament that professional play testers can't find in months. I'm more worried about this being a press invitational. Maybe this is the thing Triforce was talking about with m2k/Armada and Nintendo? Eh...

We found them for Brawl at the E3 demo. Look what happened there. Got taken out. Completely.

 

[ImaClubYou]

Super hyped. I'm waiting for the pairs of people who will record each other play do nothing but attempt ATs from past games and confirm hitstun and combos, lol.

There's a best buy where I live so I'm happy!

Is there a list of paricipating Best Buys already?

 

[GiantBoyDetective]

Confirmed as Smash for Wii U and not 3DS. Surly they'll give them Pro Controllers, right? Man, I can't wait to see that.

 

[APC99]

Is there a list of paricipating Best Buys already?

No, I'm going off of last year, when they had none in Wisconsin, and the closest was in Schaumburg, Illinois.

 

[Nikes]

I'm positive Nintendo will release a worldwide e-shop demo since they acknowledged people wouldn't be able to make it to E3, along with their comment about fans at home getting in the fun! (THEY'D BETTER!)

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Ah. Well that shame. Hopefully they have more venues this time. And more set-ups at that.

 

[greenluigiman2]

M2K will definitely be there.

 

[ImaClubYou]

M2K will definitely be there.

Not informed on the details, but I wonder what Nintendo means by professional players anyway. Maybe Mew2King, or maybe the lead developers of Smash, haha.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

BTW, could we sticky this? That might keep the constant New Topics about it kept to a minimum. They're likely to see it.

And this is cool regardless. Just wish I could play the demo in my hometown.

 

[ChikoLad]

I know where my grant money is going... *shot*

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Wonder if they'll hand out free nintendo swag like last year.

 

[Starphoenix]

I wouldn't count on it. We didn't get any eShop demos for the games that were available at Best Buy last E3, so I doubt that is going to change now.

 

[Praxis]

Good point. A 2 hour drive in Eastern Washington summer weather isn't very pleasant though.

We regularly drive from Spokane to Seattle tournaments. Try five hour Eastern Washington summer drives, noob.

 

[World]

Well they did use 'highly skilled' in the description.
I think the top melee/brawl players from their respective tournaments would be a decent guess.

Then again they also stated that the tournament would be a celebration for 'all things smash' rather than an event to just crown a winner for new fans along with veterans.

Perhaps they'll have players like Mango and M2K but the mode will be consisted of using items and other random aspects instead of the usual tournament settings.

Good point, I'm just not one for long drives sitting in the Wheelchair in the car.

BTW, I think I saw you on the Black Wolf stream this weekend... I may be mistaken.

 

[CombatScouter]

Oh man, this is such a wonderful surprise! I think I'm more excited for the tournament than the actual announcements now.

Fils-A-Mech tho.

 

[Zeallyx]

This will be amazing.

Even though I live in Europe and I'll probably won't be able to play the game in June, I'm really hyped for this. Others' impressions and experiences will make for some amazing reads. Not even to mention the footage of the tournaments.

This gon b gud.

 

[Mic_128]

We found them for Brawl at the E3 demo. Look what happened there. Got taken out. Completely.

Sakurai was actively making Brawl less complex and has said he wants to make it closer to melee. They have Namcos Tekken team doing balancing AND doing an actual official tournament. Don't get paranoid. That said, I'd imagine they're going to take the chance for some balancing data.

BTW, could we sticky this? That might keep the constant New Topics about it kept to a minimum. They're likely to see it.

On the other hand, they'll look for a new topic, not looking at the top of the stickies.

Fils-A-Mech tho.

Oh jeez, just realised:Reggie confirmed for Smash

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Makes sense.

Not saying it will happen.

Just that it happened before and could thus happen again.

And it was more at the comment of how we probably wouldn't find ATs there, when we did find them for Brawl at it's E3 demo anyway.

You did! I was the Diddy. Thanks for watching! 'twas my first Black Wolf tourney.

 

[Waite]

I know where all of my lunch breaks are going to be spent during E3.

 

[INs4niTY-]

Do you think they'll keep all items on to show off the new stuff for the tournament or would it be a normal tourney rules kind of thing :O
