As you mentioned, they're in different art styles. When you put them in Ultimate's more subdued, semi-realistic artstyle, they all look rather same-y, especially from afar. That's not just an FE thing, either; It goes for all the anime-styled humans. It doesn't help that more than half of them use similarly-designed swords, so at first glance they look like they'd fight pretty similarly. Even though only two of them are direct clones, it still gives off a sour first impression.

Buy, like $700 in games?
It's not going to be $700 for one person, they're going to distribute those points among those who place highly.

Hmmm, is Japan getting a similar tournament on the same date?
If so, I think it could mean something for next week.

Wow that's a lot. Too bad I can't beat anyone who isn't absolute trash at the game...or even have Nintendo Switch Online...
Well that makes me feel a little better. Even most competitive players don't stand a chance.
...really? Did they not learn that this was a terrible idea? I can understand being pretty liberal with the stagelist (imo the current stagelist goes too far in the other direction), but why add stages that have been proven to cause 1v1s to grind to a halt?
EDIT: I was confusing Peach's Castle with Princess Peach's Castle. Peach's Castle isn't nearly as problematic (it's awkward, but it doesn't kill 1v1s), but my point still stands on stages like Princess Peach's Castle and Kongo Jungle.

100$ for getting the highest
the next 9 people get 40$
and the next 10 people after that get 25$
something like that at least.

Are you sure they wouldn’t release a character in the middle of the tournament? Nintendo’s priorities for making tournaments seem to be way different from those of most TO’s. If they were to release a character in the middle (or finals) of a tournament, I’d imagine they’d want to try to play up the hype of a new challenger suddenly appearing to mix things up.
I'll still participate if they're splitting up people by regions like last time.
Only person I need to fear kicking my ass is YoseFu. Again. Man plays Simon too good for my brain to handle. He beat the **** out of me last time.

I could see them doing it after grand finals, but only if it was a televised event.
Yup:
- A. One (1) Grand Prize winner will receive 10,000 My Nintendo Gold Points (ARV $100)
- B. Nine (9) First Prize winners will each receive 4000 My Nintendo Gold Points (ARV $40 each).
- C. Ten (10) Second Prize winners will each receive 2500 My Nintendo Gold Points (ARV $25 each).
Turns out it's all-online for the first NA tournament, which is different from the Japanese tournaments which have had an offline Finals:
(Edited to include the correct VoD)
Perhaps they'll go LAN finals for an upcoming NA (or EU) tournament?
That baffles me too, honestly. The reason I can think of is that they're recognized stages... and that there is enough pressure within NoA to have this be a more fun-oriented tournament. Still though, the prizes are only going to worsen things since people will want to maximize their scores and land in the Top 20.

Seems like the tournament will start on the same day as the AoC presentation.
I doubt the times will clash, but I thought that was interesting.

I do think they could have done that without allowing stages with prime camping spots like Kongo Jungle, Princess Peach's Castle, Corneria, Bridge of Eldin, Pilotwings etc.
Keeping in crazy stages like Norfair and stages that are banned for only slight problems or redundancy is a good way to go for this kind of thing, but I wouldn't include any of the stages where the best option is to do nothing for the most part. Unless they're doing free-for-alls, which is an incredibly different dynamic.
EDIT: I also wouldn't include items either, but I just don't like items in 1v1s. Too much stuff to focus on.

Aaaand it's a 1v1 tournament, 4 stocks 7:00 mins. With Hazards On. And FS Meter.
Camping and sharking is going to be rampant in that tournament mode. Which is a shame, because I agree that crazy stages or those with slight problems could work for a more fun ruleset.
Those camping / sharking spots are going to benefit Peach / Daisy players so much (because they can cover with turnips or float aerials - oh and have the FS as a backup), plus those characters with great anti-air options like the shotos / Terry. Oh and Sonic of course.

Yep. I also don't expect a reveal during the week of The Game Awards, and I expect radio silence for most of October.
We're most likely looking at a month before the reveal if we're getting it at all this year.

I've been expecting something at the week of the September/October transition anyways, so it's not like anything's changed.
I think it'd be funny if they dropped a new character right before the tourney and all the low-level brackets were just swamped with them.
It's not like Nintendo gives a **** about enforcing conditions conducive to a tourney.

Man, y'all are impatient. Like seriously it's only been like 3 months since Min Min's reveal.
Can I also remind you of the Joker-Hero/Banjo gap?

Weren't you just going on about how a reveal is happening shortly because of Amiibo theory?
Yeah, between Joker and Hero/Banjo reveal it was two months.
Unless you're talking about the Joker reveal to the Hero/Banjo reveal when we got two characters in the interim.

How does "I don't think we'll see it for a while" = impatient?
Michael the Spikester

I was, I'm still being optimistic about it given October 4-10 could still fall in line with the theory, if not I admit another pattern that yet again Sakurai has broken.
That's what I was referring to.

A dearth of news in general is going to make a wait multiply tenfold. That's probably something for everyone to keep in mind; Lockdown has caused our perception of time to slow, so even though we're still around the upper-average of the waits so far it feels like we've waited an entire year for more news.
I've seen people take issue with FP2 taking nine months, but personally, I only count FP2 as starting with Min Min's release. We'd probably only have to wait the standard three months between her and Byleth, but she was explicitly stated as having to be delayed due to balancing issues and her unique playstyle. And besides, it took about 7-8 months between the confirmation of FP1 and Joker's actual release. Said wait was divided by Joker's announcement, after which we knew nothing besides the fact that Piranha Plant and Joker were coming eventually. This is nothing new; 2019's schedule just spoiled us and made us forget.

I like BrawlFan1, but Danganronpa does not appeal to me AT ALL.
I got spoiled on the story and from what I have seen, it came off as WAY too pretentious for my liking.
Ultimate despair my &@$!
Right. Between Joker and Hero there was only one month we didn't officially know what was coming, and in that half year, two characters released.
I agree, patience is needed, but that's certainly not the best comparison.
