If someone does, you come out happy! If not? You expected it
Was Ike confirmed playable for the invitational? I can see him giving Little Mac trouble.

We can't; 3DS is casual version.
Make a Smash 3DS which is just a Gamecube controller with two screens strapped to it.
Ambitious, lol

He's just hosting, which is fine. It's not like he's commenting on the matches. He's a perfectly fine host, closest thing to a ryan seacrest that gaming has.

I have 3 GCN controllers but I would easily buy a new one (maybe more) if they offer them. Mine are currently feeling their age.
The only wired one I have left can't center the stick anymore
Fortunately my other one is a Wavebird and it's doin' just fine.

So are the contestants given some time with the game before the tournament?
Seems kind of unfair to the people who end up with new characters they've never played as.

I'm still going to try it with the Pro controller cause I just got one for MK8 so why not?
also in the announcement they didn't state a price, but I'm not expecting it to be higher than $30.
Scar said on stream that they were gonna get to play it a bit.
Master bait.

Yeah, I really hope they get some time with the new characters.

and this is why we need a fishing gif for these situations
I was thinking this.
How can they be even remotely ready when they've never played the game before?
Surely they're getting hands on before, otherwise they'll be randomly pressing buttons learning new things as they play.

I think Scar mentioned that they would have time to practice.

I just realized Ganondorf hasn't been announced yet. I hope they include Demise or Ganon (beast-form) instead. Smash Bros-Ganondorf sucks and is not at all as threating as in the Zelda series.
No...Brawl dorf sucks. Yeah he's a clone in melee but he was so much better.

If they do add a new fire emblem rep I hope it's Lynn. She's way too cool to exclude and leave as an assist trophy
I'm tired of seeing blue haired lord characters, 2 is more than enough.

Lyn is already confirmed as an assist. Also, doesn't Lynn have blue hair as well?
So they need time to practice 16 characters, especially as they can't choose someone who's already been picked.

I take back my worry; this is sounds like a great way to showcase some skillful play while showcasing items.
Haha, well, whether it is or not, I'll probably treat it that way. It'll be my french fries, Smash Wii U will be my Burger. I'm hyped for both, Smash Run looks awesome.
Looking forward to the GAF tourneys on both though.

So no surprise newcomer at the tournament I guess, considering the list is laid out and very clear.
Not to say no new comers at e3, that's obviously happening, just not in the tournament

I've got some bad news... she's an Assist Trophy.
It's green.

Well light blue is a little different from that blue.
But more importantly, Lyn won't be playable anyway.
Edit: well its kinda green too I guess

Ok, that sounds more reasonable.
OK, so as someone who doesn't follow the Smash pro community, anyone care to sum up who the competitors are, how good they are, who we think will win, and maybe some highlights from each one? I'm dumb and don't know where to start looking, but i'm interested in researching them and learning about them.

Yeah, if someone could.
I laughed at almost all of the players for how stereotypically dorky they looked.

Milktea-I think she plays Peach in Melee (idk, she was in the documentary though)
HugS-old school player, mains Samus
Ken-the former King of Smash, mains Marth
KDJ-another top old-school player, plays Fox, Marth, and Sheik
Lilo-no idea
DJNintendo-a pretty good player known for his Bowser
Toph-I think Sheik?
Peachyhime-no idea
Hungrybox-one of the top 5 in Melee, mains Puff (and Olimar in Project M)
PewPewU-NorCal dude who mains Marth
PPMD-one of the top 5 in Melee, mains Falco and Marth
Rapture-no clue
Crismas-one of the main organizers of the Apex series, no idea on mains
MacD-Team Curse manager, plays Peach
aMSa-the Red Yoshi we all know and love
Zero-one of the top Brawl and Project M players, mains Meta Knight in Brawl (duh) and Pit in Project M
If i had to pick someone, I'd go with either Zero, PPMD, or aMSa
Yeah, if someone could.

That's my impression of ALL 'esports'. They hype them all up in the same way that professional athletes are, but most of the gamers know how to act/appear like that, so there's this weirdness that comes out of that.
Oh right, i need to watch that. Anyone have a link!?

Anyone think the tournament is a PERFECT place to announce fan-favorite retro stages? Yoshi's story, Fountain of dreams, Dreamland, Lylat Cruise?

They won't need that much practice, as this isn't a super-serious tournament. A few minutes with Mario to get a feel for the physics is probably all they'll need. They probably have enough experience with Smash that they'll be able to pick it up and do fine in no time.

That's some real high school shit, honestly.
Though I'd hope most high schoolers would be beyond saying stuff like that.

We clearly needed more PC Chris on the list
Some of these guys are actualy sponsored. TeamLiquid is there with LiquidKDJ and LiquidKen, Evil Geniuses has PPMD, Team Curse shows up with HungryBox and MacD.

As in "Heathcliff"
This is all pretty hype. Gonna have to try out both the GCN and Wii U Pro controller. Kind of worried that the adapter may introduce some input lag.
I know right, these pro players have no idea how a Super Smash Bros. game plays like.
uh-huhI laughed at almost all of the players for how stereotypically dorky they looked.
