Event - E3 Invitational 2014 No experience before the invitational?

[MudkipUniverse]

Do you think that the Smashers invited to the SSB Invitational will get some time to test out the mechanics and characters in SSB4 before diving head first into a tournament? Also, are members allowed to use the "News" Headline, or is it a glitch?

It's hard to say whether or not the players invited would get some time to play the game.
Nintendo did say that the 16 players invited are highly skilled, so they might not. But then again it's a different SSB game with different mechanics and such, so they...might? I don't know, we'll just have to wait and see.

i don't know about that news headline thing btw

It would be great if the competitors would practice the game so that when we see them in play, it will lead to a more solid competitive fight.

I agree, it would definitely be pretty cool and entertaining to see the players do absolutely great at the tournament.

Yes, they are going to invite the players prior to E3. Everyone is going to have time to practice. They aren't going to look like chickens with their heads cut off. That is the entire point of an invitational tournament, if they didn't invite the players, the players would have to play without practice.

Why do i feel as though items will be on in the tourney cause they don't want to deny the chance to show off as many things in the game as possible.

There's already a thread discussing this issue:

I suggest moving discussion to there. And no, the news tag shouldn't be available so it is most likely a glitch.
