[Dr. Snakes]

That moment when you realize that a Smash 4 National Tournament is being hosted at about 5 minutes walking distance away.

[BigShad]

That terrible, terrible feel when you realize TN will never have a tourney...

 

[beestmode]

OMG! I wanna participate too!!! Come to Fresno!!! :0

 

[LocaMash]

Excellent! l: ) I am definitely participating!

 

[DownsideMadness]

I'm gonna be there.....hopefully :3

Alright. Same day as The Big House 4? Come on Nintendo. You're better than that. We know your representatives check this site on a regular basis so they know about The Big House 4. Do not try and directly compete with the competitive community. It will cause problems. It will cause divide. In my opinion, the date of this tournament is disrespectful. They're going to be missing nearly the entire competitive community.

Better than that? You do know how absurd that sounds. It's the weekend of the game's release. They're not going to upend things just because of The Big House Snore.

Big House 4 did have the date first before the 3ds release date was announced.

Big House 4 did have the date first before the 3ds release date was announced.

And that matters why? We're not talking about a skate clothing label. This is major corporation and a lot more factors into a release date than 500 children. And you can believe that the release date was decided upon well before the announcement. Does anyone really expect Nintendo to say, "Oh sorry, distributers. We need to move the date because there's going to be a Project M competition the same weekend"?

 

[ORVO5]

They did this with Brawl... I went to the one in SF. Honestly I think this tournament is a bit shameful, sorry if I'm busting the hype, but that's what this event is for - for marketing purposes. If this was a real tournament, they'd let us practice at least a week or two after the game was released. They just want to generate hype, which isn't bad per se, but I think it's a bit cheap to call it a "tournament."

Sign me up! 30mins from the Georgia sign up!

You called it that most likely because I assume you're not attending. It's a national tournament that has some of the best smash players from all of the US come in to play. It's a massive deal. Also, in my opinion, holding a tournament the day after the game comes out is a bit silly. There's not much time to explore the game at all.

 

[Funkermonster]

Lets see:

• Not in my state of Arizona so I can't come anyway
• Stupidass items are allowed, all of them.
• 4 player free for alls
• Only allows default characters
• Occurs only 1 day after the game's release, expect to see a bunch of below average players when they've only had one day to practice (unless they use the 5 demo characters maybe)
• First come, First served rule supports the problem of bringing in a ton of unskilled players
• No rematches
• National Tournament disallows you from switching characters and stay with the same person for the whole time, no counterpicks

Waste of time.. probably won't be fun to watch a bunch of casual chaos parties. I dunno what this Big House thing is (can someone explain it to me?), but I think I just might either check it out or just go to a club and play Melee or Sm4sh there, with real competitive matches.

Same. *commits sudoku*

Sudoku? That's a fun game. I hear Sepukku is pretty rough though.

Whatever you do, don't major in business.

Uh called it what? I know what the Big House is. And I know it is a big national, I intend to watch it since I cannot make it due to college.

And yes, holding a tournament the day after release is silly. Nintendo did this after brawl released.

Generally if this event had been more clearly geared towards competitive play then there would be extremely little reason to have it on that day. But due to ruleset it clearly is more for your general casual fanbase. And I use that in the nicest possible way I can. There is no way it will take away anything from The Big House. But honestly? I wouldn't have put two events on the same day regardless. Splitting the community here.

Whatever you do, don't major in business.

Also, you can't seem to get your point across without insulting somebody. 500 Children? Great, thanks for being another example of the smash 4 community's maturity. Side with the corporation if you want. I'm just pointing out that it is silly to have two events on the same day.

There are always going to be multiple tournaments on the same day, even within the same state or a state away. It's not splitting the community, it's giving the community more options. TBH4 is at one place in Michigan. Nintendo's tournament is all over the country. That means it can serve a lot more of the community than TBH4 can, and it doesn't matter if the people going to TBH4 don't go to it because there will be plenty of people to fill the spots anyway. Why don't you go yell at Keitaro for hosting KTAR X on the same day? That's much more of a threat to actually pull people from TBH4.

I just don't understand the point of having items on, and then removing them later. That's just dumb.

I honestly liked the format, the more you go up in the tourney, the more traditional it gets, it is like a progression.

It's like saying: to win this tournament,
you must be good at playing smash the way it is meant to be played first and foremost.
if you're that good then you get to play 1v1 vs those other good players in a more personal, traditional FG manner.

the winner of this types of tournament is what we can say a good smash player. overall good in both smash style and competitive style.

 

[Gam3rALO]

Even though the rules suck. I'll go for the prizes

 

[Halfhead]

It's an hour and a half away from me... Not sure if worth.

Commits Sudoku? Death by numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!

I honestly hate the casual rules... but I have to say I can't disagree with you. It does say a lot if someone can consistently win, even under the terrible circumstances that item free-for-all creates. Like Mario Kart.

But still... hate, hate the rules here, lol.

 

[CHAINSAWmuzik]

I want that trophy! Ill put it right next to my daughters crib, my prized possession next to my prized possession :-)

 

[BladerDaBrawler]

>Items
>Free for all
>Same day as BH4
No thanks. I love items and free for alls but not in tournament.

I read through the rules and crap, and it says the Final Destination versions of the stages ARE allowed, and in the demo, if you pick the FD stage it turns off items automatically.

I kinda want to go out. I've never been to a fighting game tournament before, but I don't like the rules. I live in Tomball, TX, so the one in Houston is about an hour away. I dunno, I might go.

 

[RedRambo4]

Ooooh I'm only 45 minutes from Anaheim!! Ima go there!!

I'm 30 minutes away from that one, I might go to

 

[Zantetsugun]

Aaaaaaaaand not a single one in Minnesota. Hell there's not even one CLOSE to me! And yet Florida gets three! ****ing really Nintendo?

 

[RedRambo4]

I wanna go to the Anaheim one, but I start a new job next week and I don't know what my schedule will be like

Wait a minute, you just insulted the smash 4 community by claiming the guy was another example of said community's maturity! No one likes a hypocrite Senario and if you can't act your age by not insulting people back or rather a whole group of people in this case and be able to actually back up your asinine claims that this silly little tournament Nintendo is having will somehow split the community despite it not being really relevant if at all, then please do not post on here anymore. Thanks.

 

[Pee-Gcuatro20]

So to enter you just show?first come first serve? You know Ima bout be there like at6 am.any other Colorado smashers out there?

 

[Auramaniji]

One location in GA?

FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED!

 

[Donkey_Inferno]

Sign me up! 30mins from the Georgia sign up!

this is how I'm gonna walk in to gamestop

 

[Jonn]

Customization is allowed at the local tournaments, too?

 

[WheelerFGC]

Sign me up! 30mins from the Georgia sign up!

What is that from? I see the URL, but i'm curious about what anime it came from.

 

[The Light Music Club]

Customization is allowed at the local tournaments, too?

No, just at the national one. I think I'll stick to Palutena's default though with all the "For Glory" I've been playing with her.

I don't get how they plan on working this "line up only at 9 AM or after" idea.

 

[Mikey Da Bawse]

Plano and Houston; both of which are 4+ hours away from me.
I'll pass driving 4+ hours just to not get a spot.
