's tournament...Upcoming Minnesota tournaments: ***Asterisk indicates tournaments that are likely to be high in attendance.
@dernl Well I've got one and plenty of good controllers, so if you ever want to try console shoot me a pm
SSB64 & Melee tournament at Monster Den in Minneapolis on Sunday, November 2nd.@Annex SSB64/Melee Player here, but I only play 64 on emulator haha. I don't have an actual Nintendo 64 unfortunately. I've been playing this game pretty casually until recently.
We'll know When's Warehouse right after we figure out When's Marvel.
This got moved to Saturday the 22nd. Know why they're doing single elim by chance?
For time. We ran a double elimination Brawl tournament back in june and it took 7 hours to finish with 42 participants. We are assuming we will have more than 40, or about that many for the Smash 4 tournament and the venue closes at 9pm. With the advanced tournament starting at 3pm. For the sake of time we did Single.
Just out of curiosity how many setups did you have at that tournament? I'm planning on attending the Wii U Launch Day tournament and the fact that it is single elim really bothers me. Especially if you are using the For Glory ruleset of 2 stocks with a 6 minute time limit. Having played that ruleset with a friend quite a bit those matches go insanely fast, even if you're doing best 2/3. Smash 4 is also a much faster paced game than Brawl; not Melee fast, but faster than Brawl for sure especially at 2 stocks.
Hmm this is really well thought out and certainly gives me more to think about. You're not the only person who has spoken up about a couple things we are considering. Which I really appreciate! Its the feedback of our participants like you that help us make decisions. I'll take a look at what we are doing and speak to my staff a bit about making the Advanced Bracket Double Elimination at least. We are currently in the process of finalizing a list of Counter Picks so people are not forced into Omega Mode only stages. If anything gets updated, I'll of course update the event page and this as well.

I was actually able to get everyone on board with this idea. So when I get home later tonight, or tomorrow, I am going to update everything to reflect that Advanced Bracket will indeed be double elimination. While we won't specifically know what stages will be allowed at counter picks we are going to heavily be playing, and streaming, the Wii U version on 11/21 and at the end of the day we are going to decide what stages we allow for counter picks. Since the Wii U and 3DS will have seperate stages.
I'm really glad you thought it over and decided to go with double elimination for the Advanced Bracket at this event. Thank you for taking the time to read my wall of text. The tournament will take a little longer but I really do feel it'll give the best experience to the players. Also, I do not know if it is possible, but if you are able to get some copies of Smash 4 from the venue you're hosting at to use for the event, I'd gladly bring my WiiU and a TV for an additional setup to help out. I just won't have a copy of the game at that time.
This may be possible, but don't quote me on it.
Its mentioned in the thread for the tourney. Any character that becomes unlocked during the tournament is fair game on a set up to set up basis and we leaved a disclaimer saying all stations may not have all characters unlocked and you may not change set up/stations because of that.
There's an okay scene in St. Cloud, but that's the closest honestly.
Not to my knowledge. Have you made a post in the facebook group?
There is a lot that goes down in that area. My advise is join the facebook group for all the local events. They do stuff weekly.
There is one in bloomington southdale mall the store is called gamerheadz tuesdays and wednesdays are friendlies, and the ones on thursdays are tournament days. they usually start at 3:00pm for warm ups, and 5:00 are the tournaments. $6 entry fee. tomorrow is project m. but each week it alternates between PM and melee
Are they doing the new Smash yet?
Wednesday friendlies don't happen anymore. Tournaments start at 6 PM on Thursdays to accommodate peoples' work schedules. Technically in Edina, not Bloomington.
