[The Derrit]

Today, Nintendo announced the Super Smash Bros. People's Challenger Contest! The winners of this contest will have a chance to play Super Smash Bros. for Wii U against one of the Smash Brothers Invitational winners. Participants will create a 15 second Instagram video explaining why they should get the opportunity to play against the best! If you're itching to get some play time in early this might be your best way! Learn more about the contest and how to enter below.

The Derrit probably won't make a video, but you really should. Like seriously. Right now. You should also follow him on Twitter at @TheDerrit right now. Like seriously.

FIRST!

Also, why not? I'll make a video, it'd be kinda cool to get my hands on it early!

Edit: My wife has decided to make a video. She plans her reason to be "It would make my husband so jealous I'd be able to rub it in in face for YEARS." ... Clever and true...

 

[GunBlaze]

If I only lived in the states

 

[Marthmario]

If I only was 18 ;-;

 

[LinKing]

 

[Iguana]

"...and live in the United States."



Anyway, this is a great idea. Good luck to everyone who submits for this!!

 

[Kewkky]

I wish I could participate, but I go on a deployment right after E3 ends, and I have preparations to do... Guess I'll wait til Christmas to get the WiiU version then.

 

[smashingDoug]

[Rymi]

the age -.- yyy

 

[ChickenWing13]

15 seconds is not long enough!

 

[Rawrior]

What do they mean when they say "One of the winners" from the invitationals?

Are there going to be multiple winners? How?

 

[RIP|Merrick]

Fifteen seconds though...That will be a challenge.

 

[CyberMario]

Calling it, someone is going to do a video based off the original Smash Bros commercial with the Smash 4 Characters.

Although the graphic states that you must live in the United States, the official rules include Canada as part of the participants (although they exclude Quebec).

 

[MewtwoMaster2002]

The one time I'm tempted to get an Instagram...not sure if it's a good enough reason to get one.

I'm really surprised by the 18 and older requirement, it's going to be interesting when a 30 year old wins.

I'm really surprised by the 18 and older requirement, it's going to be interesting when a 30 year old wins.

Why would that be interesting? The average age of a gamer in the US is 30. Until a couple of years ago it was 37.

The world doesn't revolve around the late-teen age bracket. In fact, everybody younger than 21 pretty much sucks. I know I sucked when I was that age.

 

[The Slayer]

Even I'm a little iffy about doing it. I just wanna play the game. Not become an American's Top Idol of Smash Bros.

 

[Chilex]

Aww damn. I'm 15.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

DANG IT NINTENDO, I'M 14!

Oh well, I got my local Best Buy.

 

[itsameluigi1290]

I'm 17.

AND AFRAID OF BEING ON VIDEO EEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Xermo]

>instagram

Shoutouts to Nairo for breaking age norms. Not sure I should get an instagram for this though.

Either way, gonna be chillin' in the Best Buy. Woot woot!

Does that mean...I suck?

 

[Gune]

You go bring back info please, that is all.

 

[RelaxAlax]

OOH OOH

I'm gonna make a good one :]

 

[Hiro of Time]

Submission: Nintendo, I think I deserve this because I'm the best player ever and I know how to wave dash an--
Nintendo: PLISS UNDASTAND.

 

[Pazzo.]

Interesting! This is a great way to advertize for SSb4... Nintendo is pulling out all the stops, huh?

Also: Remember that your anonymous age is a gift here. Don't give it away without thinking.

 

[mygamecube]

Well I submitted my entry. I figure it was worth a shot.

If anyone is curious and has an instagram, search up coop_boii. That's me lol

Good luck to all the other entries.

 

[BADGRAPHICS]

Does that mean...I suck?

From late teens until early twenties, life is nothing but petty drama and a lack of appreciation for scotch. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, threw it away and bought a suit, looked amazing.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

*Goes on screen with Reggie costume*
"I deserve this because I look like my body is ready."

But sadly, the cursed "18 and older" has brought down its mighty wrath upon me, and I cannot enter.
But if it could, I promise it would be great.

 

[Wolfeon24]

Im not 18 and I still newbish at smash but, I think I should give it a shot and hope they dont care.

 

[SoniCraft]

What do they mean when they say "One of the winners" from the invitationals?

This is a very good point. We can only hope that this doesn't hint at more depressing news, such as each match being FFAs. Also, won't this give us a chance to see who was actually invited, since the people who would've been invited wouldn't need to make a video.

Somebody had some bad teenage years O.o

 

[Sahfarry]

I FEEL 18...

...anyway best of luck to whoever gets in

 

[Groose]

Thinking about whipping out my Groose cosplay gear for this occasion. The trick to this type of contest is getting noticed amidst the crowd, and I intend to do just that.
