Super Smash Bros E3 Invitational Details Announced

 

Players, control configuration, rules, and more have been announced by Nintendo for E3.

Though Nintendo was hesitant to support the competitive Smash scene for many long years, they begin by hosting the Invitational at E3, which will feature top players from Super Smash Bros. Melee duking it out on the new Smash 4.  Each team will have a list of playable characters, one of which they must main, to help showcase the title.

The Grand Finals will take place on the classic competitive map "Battlefield" and the control scheme will allow for players to play with their trusty Gamecube controllers, the preferred control scheme for competitive play.

Bracket Details

  • Single-Elimination Tournament
  • 4 players per match, 4 stock, 5 minute time limit
  • Top 2 players determined by score advance from each match to the next round
