To the people who actually went, how was it? Yeah I'm sure it was hype, but did you get to play a lot of smash? And how does it like function? I'd just like to know some details, because I plan on attending.

if you've never been to a world class smash tournament before, it's going to blow you away. for someone like me that's been attending international level events for over 7 years, the actual tournament experience has been disappointing two years in a row, but getting to play friendlies/money matches with literally hundreds of people over the weekend pays for itself.

Really? Cause I mean I enjoy watching tournaments at home so I figured I would in person even more. But I'm only 15 and don't have money, is it just everyone money matching or could I play some friendlies?

plenty of friendlies. i went to my first tournament across the country when i was 14, by myself. didn't have to do money matches. but just be aware of what you're getting yourself into if you do decide to do any money matches.

Even at Apex 2 there were enough setups for everyone to play friendlies as long as pools weren't going on. I'm sure this event will have plenty of setups for friendlies alone.

Apex 2012 was actually the worst tournament I have ever been to. There was no organization and no friendlies allowed unless you were an East Coast favorite. My Saturday pool ended after 1 AM and we had to be back at the venue before 9 AM (IIRC) for the next round of pools.
It's fun to have a tournament where people come from all over the world to play the game, but I wish a different tournament series had that honor. To be fair, Apex 2010 was really fun, but Apex 2012 was so bad that I decided not to go back to any of them since then.
Also note that I viewed this from a Brawl player point of view. I didn't experience Apex from a Melee player's perspective, which could be completely different.
GL. I hope you have fun.

Yeah I don't know what the Brawl experience was like because I was in the Melee room 24/7.

I'm going as a smash 4 player. Would I be able to play a lot of friendlies there?Yeah I don't know what the Brawl experience was like because I was in the Melee room 24/7.

I wouldn't know, since smash 4 hasn't been at a tournament of this magnitude before. Most likely, there will be plenty of setups though.

Thanks. I'm just trying to see how this thing will go down. Im sure I'll enjoy the tournaments, since I enjoy watching them at home I'm sure i would enjoy it there. I just don't know if it's worth going all the way to New Jersey for

No, Georgia doesn't have much of a smash scene

Lol I'm 12, and Apex 2015 is also going to be my first smash tournament. I'm also going as a Sm4sh player.

Normally, Apex is an A+ in my book because of the access of the Fat Sandwiches. Now that Apex 2015 is taking place far from New Brunswick, all hype is almost gone. Venture at your own risk.

Dude, I'm mexican. I live near the US/Mexican border. I encounter that often in Calexico/Mexicali. Nothing special.
Edit: You know what I haven't encountered in Mex? Fat Sandwiches.

And your Alta Horas is something from my culture so I'm an authority on that. If you're gonna try to push something on, at least make it something that I haven't seen on almost every three-five blocks across a pharmacy.
And I'm planning to. Really considering flying in to EWR to get as close as I can.

altas horas is a brazilian joint, not mexican. i wouldn't trust any mexican food in jersey. scratch that - any mexican food that isn't in texas, socal, NM or arizona. it just won't taste as good.
