Brotherly Love is back and better than ever. Each event will feature a special guest along with side events. Our goal is to bring in a top player from around the world at each event.

This event will debut a new bracket format called "Waterfall" (abbreviated as WTF). This format was conceptualized by players of the SSB64 Community and applied at the Lab's SSB64 Regional event, Keystoned. Instead of the normal double elimination bracket, players will compete in a multi-stage round robin event. Players first face off in a placement round. They are then seeded into different divisions depending on how well they did. This creates more matches between players of similar skill rather than a top seed vs bottom seed the entire bracket. It also creates a built-in amateur bracket.

More information on WTF can be found here
Additionally, each Brotherly Love event will also feature a Smash.gg reward shop providing BC and BL merchandise from shirts to controllers. The proceeds will be split between the cost of the item and special rewards. Here are some examples of what type of rewards we'll have:

  • Pot Bonus Reward
  • Increase Venue size
    • Also increases entrant cap
  • Funding for Special Guest player/s
More info on the reward shop will be posted to smash.gg

We're also hosting an Arcadian on 4/22/17! The winner will get free entry to this event! Check it out here

Actually main question. Keywords are smash 4 but you just refer to it as super smash bros. Is it smash 4? Don't really want to go and find out it's a 64 tournament. Sorry for the dumb question just want to make sure
