For the first time since before the pandemic started, organizers in Dryden are hosting an in-person tournament based on the popular Nintendo video game Super Smash Bros.
DRYDEN -- Local fans of the popular video game Super Smash Bros. get a chance to compete in an in-person tournament in Dryden on Saturday for the first time since the pandemic started.
Super Smash Bros. is a popular video game where players choose a character from many popular Nintendo franchises like Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, and Pokemon in order to fight one another in a closed setting. The competitive version used for tournaments are set up so each player has the same advantages, said MacKinnon. “There are items in most of these games, hammers, guns, the smash ball, we disabled all that and just have purely…skill-based matches with no items or stages that move.
Playing in a Super Smash Bros. tournament is actually big business, said MacKinnon, with big tournaments, sponsorship and prize pools into the tens of thousands of dollars. He added, many have thousands of people in attendance and more watching on the popular video game streaming service, Twitch. “The last one I watched, I think, they peaked at like 30,000 viewers,” he said.
MacKinnon said they will have six stations set up, which can let up to 12 people play singles matches or 24 play doubles.
