We had about 25-30 players throughout the day for the first week and we're expecting twice that many to show up this Sunday. For Smash 4 it's 3 stock, 8 mins, with starters on fd, battlefield, town and city, smashville, and lylat. Counters are halberd, delfino, and kongo jungle. We also have 2v2's and 3v3's which were a blast. Do you have any other friends that would want to attend? Let us know and hope to see you there.

Oh nice glad to hear you will be attending. 2v2's are same rules plus Big Battlefield. 3v3's is VIP Mode where you have a leader on each team labeled VIP that you must protect and take out the VIP on the other team. Those stages are only Pyrosphere which is the starter, Norfair and Big Battlefield.

 

[DoubleM10]

that sounds good. sounds like a good time. and with that many people competition should be interesting.

I’m thinking about going, but I feel like it would be awkward because of my age, can you tell me about what age group showed up in the last few tournaments?

This may sound weird, but I’d also like to know who the youngest person there was.

Hey don't worry about it at all. It's not weird. We have players as young as 14 playing. How old are you? All ages are welcome so it's not a problem.

 

[BoomStickSmasher]

I am only eleven, but I have bin to many tournaments before. Also my friends and me might come. If they can't, could I bring my amiibos as teammates? I am also wondering do you have smash competitions just for amiibos?

No worries. Hopefully you can bring your friends. We don't allow amiibos since they can easily win in tournaments, but you can play with a level 9 computer worst case.

I’m almost fourteen and now I see that someone even younger than me might come so I won’t let age influence my decision, I think I’ll be able to make it.

Glad to hear that. See you all there on Sunday.

 

[BoomStickSmasher]

I hope that my crew can make it. I really want to try 3v3. That just sounds crazy fun. I should probably tell you yes or no tonight. I want to come but, I will probably be the youngest if I go but It doesn't matter.

 

[BeepBopBoopster]

Is there anything that I need to do to sign up?

 

[Events2Compete]

Is there anything that I need to do to sign up?

Nope you just show up and register there.

 

[BoomStickSmasher]

I'm going to ask my friends, but I know I'm going for sure. Should I bring my GameCube controller?

 

[Events2Compete]

Yes please bring your own controller.

 

[BoomStickSmasher]

I can come, but one of my friends can't. The other one is maybe. Is there anyone who wants a teammate for 3v3?

 

[BeepBopBoopster]

I can’t make it this week, but I’ll try again next time.

You can check there but there will be a lot of players that don't teammates.

I can’t make it this week, but I’ll try again next time.

No worries.

 

[Ethan192]

I hopefully should be making it out to this tomorrow for melee. Would love to try the 3v3 VIP mode in Smash 4 but I don't have a crew or anything.

Sounds good but you can try to form a crew there with anyone that doesn't have a team. We'll see tomorrow.

 

[BoomStickSmasher]

I finally found a crew. See you tomorrow.

Awesome see you then.

My friend and I are looking to join the competitive Smash scene, and we are very interested in this since it's so close. A big question I have is whether or not you need to attend gametypes you're not interested in? As in, if we were only interested in Sm4sh singles, do we need to show up for triples, or can we walk in the door shortly before 4:00 PM?

 

[SpoutSoul]

Hey I have a question, I got one of my friends to join me for the 2v2 matches, and I was wondering do I have to pay another 5 or 10 dollars to enter the singles bracket?

 

[kobyatchi]

Do you allow Pro Controllers? Most tournaments don't because they are wireless.

You would only need to show up for that game. Glad to hear you guys are going to join the scene though and good luck to you on Sunday.

You guys can choose only to do doubles if you want. There is no obligation to do any event that you don't want to.

Do you allow Pro Controllers? Most tournaments don't because they are wireless.

We do but just be careful about issues with syncing after your match is done.

 

[SpoutSoul]

Oh no that's not the problem, me and my friend want to do the singles bracket, I was just wondering to make sure to bring extra money for the matches and stuff.

 

[Events2Compete]

Oh no that's not the problem, me and my friend want to do the singles bracket, I was just wondering to make sure to bring extra money for the matches and stuff.

Oh sorry. Ya it's $5 venue fee and $5 entry fee for prizes per person. The venue fee is a one time cost.

 

[SpoutSoul]

Ok thanks, that cleared a lot of stuff for me, see you guys later today.

[Mist Dragon]

Is it possible to enter multiple games due to timing? I'd at least want to play PM and Melee.

 

[BoomStickSmasher]

I might come to this tournament. I will bring amiibos to fight other peoples amiibos. I might do 3v3 VIP if I can find teammates there. #Ganondorfdisrespect.

 

[BeepBopBoopster]

I might bring some amiibo too next time I go, I can’t go this week though.

 

[Doublecork]

Is this on for tomorrow, 3/15?

If so, when does Melee start (and usually end)?

 

[TheBlueSpirit]

Do you have to sign up for this event? I know there's one today

 

[SpoutSoul]
