Hype ensues.

 

[Dmil86]

So I am curious to what type of people show up to these? Mainly what are the ages? I am 28 and have a lot of appreciation for the competitive smash scene but Honestly I am not wanting to be the "old guy".

Don't worry. I've gone to 2 of these and as many kids there are that attend these, there are also a good number of college students and even a few in their late 20s. So don't worry about standing out like that. You'll have a good time, I can promise that.

Thanks for the feedback. If I end up being free I may just see if I can make it! I may get stomped but I can be a good sport about it

[ShredMan3]

[Xianos]

[Otterz]

Most likely attending this as my first tourney since I started competitive Melee! I hope to learn some stuff about Sheik from other people that main her.

 

[Glish]

Think I can finally go to a Matthews Smashers event since October or November. I'll be working hard this month on PM and Sm4sh, I can't wait.

 

[W1m0]

Hey, I've been to every Matthews Smashers events except for 1, and I am a teacher. That said, it is probably slightly younger than most other Charlotte tournaments because it draws a lot of high school students. If you're worried about being the only adult there, don't worry. Come out and have fun.

[Xianos]

Melee.

 

[GreenChaChing]

*Is happy cause smash 4 has 3 stocks*

 

[Stockfield]

Had s blast at the last event so definitely coming again.

 

[Otterz]

*Is happy cause smash 4 has 3 stocks*

The Smash 4 ruleset looks like a really good one, but I'd put Duck Hunt instead of Castle Siege. I think a walkoff is much worse than a bush that hides you for a few seconds. Then again, the stages are probably the most debated thing Smash 4 at the moment.
