Hey, pretty new to Smash, got a 3DS about 3 weeks ago and have been playing a bunch since (Played maybe 10 hours of smash before that)... I'd love to do a tournament, just wondering if there's a skill floor I should be above before entering or if this is open to players of all levels. As of right now I'm consistently beating lvl 9 CPU, and my track record in For Glory is 17-66. Also I would probably have to leave around 630pm for work, I doubt there'd be much chance of me making the Top 32 bracket anyway haha. Anyway, my questions are
-Is it too early for me to enter a tournament? (Don't care about winning, just want to get better)
-Would I be allowed to use my 3DS as a controller for the Wii U games? (And could my friend use his gamepad?)
-Would it be worth coming out if I had to leave around 630-7pm?
Thanks in advance for any replies!

If you want to get better its NEVER too soon to go to a tournament

Yes, you can use your 3ds as a controller.

Most tournaments do not allow the use of a game pad for tournaments due to the fact that only 1 gamepad can be connected at once to a wii u. So its impossible to have two people using game pads fight either other. I would suggest your friend use a wii u pro controller. It has the same exact button layout, and fit most hands better.

It would definitely be worth the trip to show up, evennif you have to leave early

You must be at least 16 years old to participate in any tournament.

Im new to the smash tournament scene and was wondering if most places allow you to use your own custom controll settings
