We do not currently have a dedicated Smash 4 Wii U setup. I am looking into purchasing an HD monitor for this purpose, but as of right now, we do not have any Smash 4 Wii U setups. I would recommend joining our Facebook group to keep up-to-date on information regarding events in our area.

Most weeks, these events are just smashfests. We have run a few round robin tournaments with no entry fees and no prizes. These fests are more geared towards building the community and giving players a place to practice.

How has the melee turn out been? It's about a 2 hour commute for me. I'd like to come out but not sure if it's worth it with no tourney.

We usually get about 8-12 players on average. Two hours is a bit much for a fest, but if you are willing to make the trip, we'd love to have you.

Sorry for the delayed reply. We don't really have much Smash 4 3DS. We have a Smash 4 Wii U setup starting at about 5pm and going until 9-ish.

How often do you guys do brawl and smash 4?

We just ran our first Smash 4 bracket today, and we will continue to run it every week for the foreseeable future. As for Brawl, there has not been much interest in it. You MIGHT be able to find someone in the group who will play Brawl with you, but to my knowledge, there are no players who primarily focus on Brawl in the area.

Are there any other smash places you know of more near Evanston? Also, is there any skill level or age limit to your entries? What do I have to do to enter, and what is the address? Sorry for so many questions... I am trying to get into the smash scene and go to my first tournament

That's the Chicago Smash 4 Facebook group. There are plenty of Smash 4 events in the area. The only events I have heard of that have had age limits are ones held at bars. So age isn't an issue for most events. As for skill level, any tournament would be glad to have a new player who's interested in getting better. Entering a tournament sort of depends on what the tournament organizers want. Some of them require online registration (they'll post a link to the registration in the Facebook event for their tournament), while others will let you register at the door (you just show up, pay, and play). I'm not sure exactly where the Chicago Smash 4 tournaments are held, but the people in the Facebook group will be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

You might even be able to find a few players closer to Evanston by saying something in the Facebook group.
