After chucking one of our most popular tournies, all night long we are going to hear: “Wait. There’s no Brawl tourney? Lame.”
I can guarantee this will happen. A Smash Bros game has been on our official tournament list for so long and has drawn such large crowds you can’t expect them NOT to complain.
What bothers me is that this is a game everyone can pick up and play, even Josh is decent at this game and he hates Nintendo. Other games such as Gears, Halo, and SC4 are NOT easy to pick up and play. If I sat down and tried to play SC4 it would be embarrasing. I like playing in tournaments but don’t like super competitive console games because I don’t have the time to master the massive move lists. In the last couple years I’ve seen the console side shift to a much more competitive environment. There’s nothing wrong with being competitive but when the games you play are entirely geared towards highly competitive gaming you’re going to start turning off massive chunks of your attendance. Once they’re gone it will be extremely hard to get them back.
