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

[Kenith]

So wait, I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but did you guys notice the theme that was playing in the vid .

Ghirahim

@ Kenith

In which video?

 

[ImaClubYou]

Calling it now.

Every Nintendo character ever created will be a playable character. This includes all Pokemon.

 

[Niko Mar]

In which video?

You know, the announcement video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghEhI4CJjAM&feature=youtu.be

It has Ghirahim's main theme and his battle theme.

 

[D-idara]

If they don't do the following, I will explode:

Spoiler

The final match of the tournament has ended. The winner is being showered with praise. They get congratulated by Sakurai (assuming he's there), for toughing it out to the very end, and are commended for their excellent skills.

Suddenly, a siren goes off. A message appears on the audience's viewing screen. It reads "Warning! Challenger Approaching!".

Then, everything goes quiet. Ominous clapping is heard in the distance. Someone begins to speak:

"Well done, talented Smash Brother. Your skills are exceptional. They may even rival those of Sakurai-san himself.
But, your fight is not over yet. You have one final challenge you must face, and that is to defeat the greatest Smash player of them all.
I'm about kickin' ***, takin' names - and I hope, for your sake: That your body, is READY!"

The audience viewer screen announces: "Reggie-Fils-A-Mech's Body is Ready to Take Names!"

Reggie Fils-Aime takes the stage. He selects the new "Reggie-Fils-A-Mech" icon on the character select screen. He offers a handshake to the tournament champion.

"May the best man win."

Short for "I will break every polygonal bone of your character with a twitch of my eyebrow..."?

I wonder if we'll get any character info from the demo code like psasbr did..im not sure exactly how they got the demo info from psasbr, but perhaps something similar will happen with smash? Nintendo probably will not fall for the same mistake, but it will be interesting to see.

 

[RelaxAlax]

The day M2K and Mango are standing aside Sakurai in a picture with one of them holding a trophy will be a beautiful day in the history of Super Smash Brothers.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Looking forward to it! Hopefully it's better managed then last year's Best Buy event.

 

[Vintage Creep]

This is easily the best marketing decision Nintendo has made in a stupidly long time. This is already contending to be the best E3 for Nintendo since 2010.

I was actually hoping for a tournament like this for this year's EVO... But E3? It's even better.
So nice to see that Nintendo truly cares about the hardcore players. They even called a bunch of 'em.
Hoping for Mew2King

 

[Cap'nChreest]

GAIZ SMASH BROS ISN'T MEANT TO BE COMPETITIVE NINTENDO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY SMASH BROS!

No but seriously. I don't think that argument will work anymore.

I'm pretty excited about this. Too bad I can't go.

PSABR had a public beta. IIRC, the data was from that.

-----------------------

ANOTHER THING THEY HAVE TO DO:

Spoiler

Announce Meta Knight at the tournament, but ban him from being used at the tournament.

 

[Luigi#1]

I love the way they don't give ****s if the demo's at E3 are underwhelming if Best Buy also has it.

 

[Morbi]

I honestly cannot wait for this tournament; I might be more hype for this invitational tournament than the actual reveals for Smash 4. I am also interested in the Best Buy event, but I heard that the first one wasn't handled properly. I don't really want to waste my time, but it seems like quite the opportunity.

 

[Cap'nChreest]

Mewtwo is revealed at E3. M2K is announced to be at the tourney. He mains Mewtwo at the tourney. He wins. The end.

 

[Morbi]

Mewtwo is revealed at E3. M2K is announced to be at the tourney. He mains Mewtwo at the tourney. He wins. The end.

Can you please put that in collapse tags? Some people don't want E3 spoiled!

Honestly, despite the fact I don't know much about the "Smash tournament celebrities" and have not watched many tournament matches, I too am looking forward to this tournament more than anything else. The atmosphere will be phenomenal, no doubt about it. And of course, we will get a lot of new footage out of this game with the tournament, the Best Buy event, and anything else that's shown, like previews.

 

[Deep2]

I hope they don't just get popular people like the Rooster Teeth team to play instead of actual Smash pros. I've seen this happen before with TF2.

 

[tauKhan]

I fully expect to be disappointed, but I hope they will invite top players from all smash games. Imagine seeing like Jousuke vs Armada.

 

[Darkly Dreaming Dexter]

Will this be the 3DS version or both?

Wii U only it seems.

 

[Morbi]

I fully expect to be disappointed, but I hope they will invite top players from all smash games. Imagine seeing like Jousuke vs Armada.

It would be hilarious seeing the skill-gap or meta-game differences. It would actually make for quite the interesting tournament, but I have a feeling that they will probably go through more Brawl players than anything.

 

[Dark Phazon]

[quot9, member: 155529"]Well guys, I think some of you know what else this means...

...Better prepare yourselves for a ****load of "leaks". ¦

Hopefully this won't be as crazy as pre-Smash Direct...

WaT?
Hopefully it is you mean or you mean the butthurt?

They cant be hype without some lube imo. They go hand in hand hehehe.......
ok sorry....too far....

 

[RelaxAlax]

Yes, I hope they invite the pros, but I fear they'll invite gaming sites, have Reggie vs. Iwata or something silly, or Bill Trenton from the Treehouse and people like that.

That would be silly, so hopefully they invite people who would actually be awesome to watch play (it urks me that the pros will get ahead of everyone else and be better than us before the game even launches (((( )

 

[Gameboi834]

 

[Cap'nChreest]

They'll invite Azen. He will say he can come. He could be 10 minutes away. He wouldn't show up.

 

[mygamecube]

Amazing. I can't wait.

 

[Second Power]

That would be silly, so hopefully they invite people who would actually be awesome to watch play (it urks me that the pros will get ahead of everyone else and be better than us before the game even launches (((( )

What about the Best Buy demos?

 

[Pazzo.]

I'm SOOOOOOOO GLAD that Nintendo is doing this! It really shows that they acknowledge the competitive scene!

Plus, seeing M2K next to Sakurai would be cool.

 

[tauKhan]

If they will actually invite actual top players, I wonder how they would choose who to invite.

 

[ProfTrumanchez]

Definitely re-invigorates the hype.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

"...Super Smash Bros. Tournament..."

DSF confirmed.

 

[dezeray112]

So who/which well known players will be invited to the invitational?

Better than Mii so sure !

 

[BluePikmin11]

And very soon, Optimistic Charizard will become a true meme.

 

[Morbi]

So who/which well known players will be invited to the invitational?

I am not sure; no one is. But I would wager that most of EVO 2014's Top 8 would be included.

 

[BombKirby]

Better than Mii so sure !

It'll probably be a Reggie Mii though. xD

 

[Cap'nChreest]

Mango won't be able to make it. I was just informed that he got drunk and is now in prison for the next 6 months. Scorp is taking his place.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Ow....my...the Hype is too much RealTalk...

Need to calm down.....ow what if captain falcon is playable and ends one of the matches with a falcon punch.

If items are on will we see new final smashes?

Will Pyrosphere be a stage? (-_-) want the debate to come to a end reguardless.........

Soo many possibilities.

Ow man!!!!!!!!!!!! Im foaming from my mouth. I wanna scream like a little girl with ice cream.

Im so excited even though i live in UK lmao!

OmG i really wanna see Ganondorf.

Theres gonna be sooo much JuiCy gameplay on Youtube its gonna be UnReal!

 

[Dr.Megaman]

 

[aliensalmon]

This is very awesome! I can't wait! I'll go to Best Buy for the demo, but even if I don't get to play the game, I'll enjoy the atmosphere of eager Smash Bros. fans!

 

[Deleted member]

AM I LATE?
CAN I STILL POST THIS?

I wish I could be content with the atmosphere of eager Smash Bros. fans, but that certainly isn't enough for me. In fact, it sounds a little repugnant.
