It's finally here! The release of Smash 4 in America is on October 3rd, and Hitbox Arena is opening its doors to everyone who's trying to get a piece of the action on day one.
This event will be streamed live on www.twitch.tv/smash_24 , so be sure to check it out if you can't make it! As you know, KTAR X is the next day, so we are hosting the KTAR X after-party on Sunday Oct 5th. Here's the event page link: https://www.facebook.com/events/840634725977062/
Some of us will be headed from this tournament to outside Nintendo World at Rockefeller Plaza right after to camp out for their tournament Saturday morning, as well.
Hitbox Arena's Smash 4 3DS Launch event will open @ 2:00pm and run until the tournament finishes and beyond, so everyone is welcome to come by and get some early practice in. If you're not ready for competition, that's ok, stop by anytime while we're open Friday and get a ton of friendlies in while develop your Mains.

STAGES:
Neutral:
Final Destination (vanilla form)
Battlefield
Yoshi's Island
Counterpick:
Final Destination (all other forms)
Prism Tower
Set procedure:
1. Before the set begins, the players engage in rock paper scissors. The loser strikes the first neutral stage, then the winner strikes the second one. Game one is played on the remaining neutral stage.
2. After game one, the winning player bans a stage, meaning that the losing player cannot counterpick there (banning Final Destination bans the ability to pick any variant of Final Destination).
3. The loser announces their counterpick stage.
4. The winner announces their character.
5. The loser selects a character and then the next game begins. Repeat this process until one player has won two games (or three in finals).
Hope to see everyone there, this event should be a huge success. Look out for Smash sessions, tournaments, streams, and more from Hitbox Arena and Smash24 in the very near future!
