As a sidenote, Apex 2015 also happens to be the largest Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament literally ever, with over 1000 entrants. It also has the less-impressive title of largest Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament of all time (800+ entrants). (It also happens to be one of the only major SSB4U tournaments so far, so.) This year it has all official Smash Bros. games, as well as several other fighting games. And also Pokemon because why not? It ALSO is officially partnering with The Big N itself for the first time, which is sort of cool I guess. All (or close enough) the top players from the various games are gonna be there, etc., there may even be drama involved (coughcoughleffencough), it sounds like it's gonna be fun. As Nintendo is involved this year, and cares about the casual viewer, Apex 2015's format will be 4-player free-for-alls with all items on and set to "Very High." Additionally there will be no banned st- sorry what's that? It's not? What IS new, and pandering to the "casual" or otherwise not in The Know viewers, is that there will be a special Smash Newcomers stream geared towards, obviously, newcomers. Anyways, it starts on Friday, with the interesting stuff on Saturday and Sunday. The stream schedule is in the first spoiler. I guess this is a spectator/discussion thread? idk if there's actually interest here or if I just wasted like 20 minutes on this post Edited February 2, 2015 by Euklyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookofholsety Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 this'll be the first big tournament i actually try to watch as it goes. ever since i picked up wii u i've somehow gotten the worst competitive itch, and i can't wait to see some competitive smash4 at its finest so far. might give some melee rounds a look as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Marc Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Only watch the Project M matches usually so I'm quite disappointed about the fact that it's not at Apex this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademaster! Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm pretty curious about what the special announcement will be. Hoping the SSB4 tournament will be good and people won't just be sticking to the supposed "top tier" characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comet Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 smash 4 is pretty boring for me to watch, so i might tune in for some of the top 8 matches. otherwise, melee all the way. maybe 64 grand finals as well, just to see how isai's going to do it this time. Banana peels and peanut shells will be all that's left after this... Oh well. Hyped to see SSB4, not really into meelee. But yeah wonder if this is what'll get kiddy dong banned/nerfed. Inb4 someone says I'm a noob for not being able to counter him. he's not that good. learn how to di down throw and accept the fact that he's just a slightly better character than everybody else.

DodgeDusk Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Update regarding Apex For those who don't want to click the link, to put a long story short, a fire alarm was pulled during Apex, and the venue was deemed unsafe due to structural damage in the room where Brawl and Smash 4 was being hosted. High possibility that Apex itself will be cancelled for today, and Brawl might not run period. Whilst I haven't heard anything more regarding Smash 4, there's talk of holding the Melee pools in hotel rooms, since their own ballroom is closed as well. GimR, the head of VGBootCamp, is going to try and get a hotel room stream for the viewers I'll try and update as I get more news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elieson Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Placing bets on left chair also someone tweeted "based teamsp00ky if the building collapses at least it'll be streamed live" *Edit* This is the collapsed parking garage at APEX, which is why fire marshalls are there and all right now. Parking Garage is SMASHING the competition Edited January 30, 2015 by Sara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeDusk Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I'm surprised the owner(s) allowed Apex (or anything, for that matter) to be held in such a damaged building. That's seriously dangerous stuff Edited January 30, 2015 by DodgeDusk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Nissan Altima confirmed for invincibility frames @Dogedoge As of right now, Apex is cancelled. The building was undermaintained, but snow weighs a fucking lot and NY/NJ just dealt with some sort of blizzard iirc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgeDusk Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 From D1's Twitter: "We're moving to the Garden State Convention Center. This event is still happening."

That's seriously dangerous stuff the hotel was literally concealing the damage to the venue from everyone, is what the current info says Twitch stepped in (based Twitch) and got them a new venue + buses to move smashers. Red Bull decided to pitch in as well, and has gotten trucks to move setups. tl;dr this community is amazing EDIT: http://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/2u7pcf/apex_newsdiscussion_thread/for more details (the rest of the subreddit as well, but this is more condensed) Edited January 31, 2015 by Euklyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
