So wait, who's NOT playable? Sheik and Ike? I guess that means no newer characters will be playable unless its for the special bracket?
EDIT: Welp.

The Brawl E for All demo also lacked quite a few announced characters iirc.

Peachyhime is sad.
They're going to be drafting from a set roster. These are probably just the most polished characters as of right now.
Wait until Sakurai shows up.

I still don't know who the 3 people I mentioned earlier are, can someone fill me in?
Amsa is coming, yet no Yoshi =(
KDJ, yet no Sheik =(
At least we'll be able to see Ken rock red Marth. I know I will at Best Buy. Speaking of Best Buy, GAMECUBE CONTROLLERS PLS
I'm hoping Pac Man/other unannounced character is playable and they're just keeping it a secret, but I kinda doubt it.
Speedwagon
Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Awesome news. Will buy the Smash-branded controller if it's available.
No peach and luigi?

Outside of Geoff hosting, that's pretty hype.
I knew DJNintendo would be there, he'd always retweets announcements related to the invitational
.
The organization of the tournament is weird, with FFA and items on, but whatever I'm still excited. I hope they all get a proper format to talk about their impressions after so we don't have to go fishing. I also hope they get plenty of practice before hand.
GCN controller adaptor is super cool too. It's introduction, along with D1's, was hilarious.
So I'm guessing each group of 4 presented are the same ones fighting each other? So it'll be 4 rounds then, 8 games. At ~5 minutes each, that's 40 minutes of gameplay. Not bad, gives us plenty to work with until the game comes out.
Overall, pretty awesome.

I wonder if the gamecube controllers will work on other games? Will they be like 'pro controllers'? They can't work like Wii remote + classic controller, since they have no home button. Will they only work on games that support the gamecube adapter?
DOES THIS MEAN GAMECUBE VIRTUAL CONSOLE INCOMING!?
I mean, it's POSSIBLE it's only in there for smash bros, but nintendo at least usually INTENDS to use a peripheral for more than 1 game.

Wait, so the tournament is 4:00~6:30 pm, then 30mins after it is the Smash bros 3DS director event. that's one hell of a night.
MK and CF confirmed for E3 announcements?
Eh? One, how would you know about Smash 4. And two, if you're talking about Brawl then yes it very well does. Fox D-air, into trip, U-smash is one of his best kill moves. MK d-tilt, into trip, grab, is one of his safest pokes.
That and you are assuming the player needs to guess to take advantage of a trip. How about they just react to the new possibly "random" outcome? Brawl players already do it. Very much in the same way that Street Fighter players react to 'Counter Hit" and adjust their combos accordingly.
Unfortunately, they're not in :/ This is just the Smash Bros. Invitational roster though. Maybe the Best Buy demo will have more?
Ganondorf pls
Wow. Bowser looks so intimidating lol.

So from what I understand, this is our bracket?

Seems like it, yeah. Last one is final destination, no items. I'd say fox only, but it's draft pick

Hmm...so if this applies to the Best Buy demo, I'd be a little disappointed to not check out Dedede and Toon Link.
Oh well, at least I'd get to play as Olimar!

Damn, that means I can't get upskirts of Peach...
sounds like everyone will have to use a different character
So from what I understand, this is our bracket?
yup
I expected single elimination but not 4 player FFA with items on
kinda dumb but the finals should be cool

Btw, this likely confirms this isn't what Zelda Williams was talking about.
Also, DJNintendo tweeted that he's repping Bowser. Don't know if he's hoping to nab him or if their character's already been selected though.

They never showed ANY new Pokemon stuff at E3 until last year, and while Pokemon ORAS has technically been revealed already we are getting our first look at the game at E3.

The rules make sense in the context of showing off the game. Also, if everyone has to use a different character (and by extension, some have to use completely new ones) I have to imagine they'll be given time beforehand to get familiarized with whichever one they're using

Likely names picked out of a hat to determine who gets to pick first, second, etc. This avoids repeat characters and is the fairest way to break it up, since they're stuck with them the whole tournament.
And HBox won't have Puff! :O
Lets make this a guessing game lol.
Once you pick a character, no one else can pick it.
Once someone picks fox, he/she uses fox the entire tournament, and no one else can use fox.
16 players, 20 characters, 4 will not be picked.
Mario and fox are almost guaranteed to be picked.

It just seems like they want to show as much of the game as possible within the situation.
Yeah, I can't predict which 4 won't be chosen. Maybe bowser, DK, olimar, and zelda?
100% this. They want to put on a good show and show off the game, even if it makes the tournament less fair. Maybe having the items/random chance might make up for a selected character not being all that great. Who knows.

See my post above. Bowser's taken already by DJNintendo.

if Rosalina isn't chosen I'm closing the stream /s
Yup, as much as I would have liked 1v1 no items, I can understand why they did it the way they did.
