Just sayin...if you're worried about Bayo vs. Bayo matches at EVO, this would solve that problem...

Bayo/Cloud/Sheik vs Bayo/Cloud/Sheik. I mean I guess that's better.

Honestly I see it as a great side-event. What I don't like about single-player 3v3 is that it's just raising the skill floor for new players -- now you need 3 mains. Not many people have time for that.

Maybe it's a minor point but I think we've got to focus more on bringing casual and new players out to their first tournaments (and even for-fun local smashfests).

But who knows maybe Squad Strike will be featured heavily on the online play and thus become the casual standard. Which could then push us towards that mode for competition as well. Your move Sakurai

To fair, we don't 100% know how this mode will work.

Whether it works as a fighter per stock during a match or a rotation to different characters after a match...

They appear to just be a form of Crew Battles implemented into the game, which are already a competitive thing.
