The biggest smash brothers tournament ever is happening this Friday at Rutger's University in New Jersey called Apex 2012, starting to get hyped. Over 400 entrants for Brawl, and over 320 entrants for Melee. The last Apex event that had 260 entrants I got tied for 9th, but this tournament is a LOT larger (with more applicants from EU, Japan, Mexico, etc so matches will be much more intense.
These games have pools where players play each other and the top 2 move on. There will be 2 rounds of pools, then a 64 man bracket.
My pool (there are 80 pools round 1)
Pool 55
San
Grimace
Pitzer
FGCU SSGuy
Juxtapoz Mako
I should not have any issues with these players, but round 2 pools is where things get intense.
Just felt like posting since I don't post in this thread often and just now starting to get hyped, even though it's pretty unrelated to everything.
Super smash brothers series has a long history of tournaments, and this event will be the largest tournament in history for all games. There will also be Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and other fighting games.
