As previously reported, Nintendo are holding a Super Smash Bros. tournament at E3 this year. This morning, the company announced further details of the tournament and where you can watch it.
The tournament will consist of 16 “highly-skilled” Super Smash Bros. players and will be held at the NOKIA Theatre in E3, where Nintendo normally hold their E3 media briefings. While the theatre will be able to seat “thousands” of live spectators, the tournament will also be streamed on both Twitch’s E3 channel and Nintendo’s Twitch channel.
Nintendo say that attendees who dress up as Smash Bros. characters may be given priority seating up in the front row, right in front of the stage. Details for the entire event—including stream timings—can be viewed below.
9:30 a.m.: Wristband distribution begins at NOKIA Plaza at L.A. LIVE, 777 Chick Hearn Court in Los Angeles. A wristband is required for entry, and 3,000 wristbands are available to Nintendo fans on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.
Fans are requested to not line up prior to Tuesday morning. Once a wristband is obtained, fans can leave the plaza area and then return later that day, closer to the start of the event. The order that wristbands are obtained in the morning does not impact the order of entry into the venue in the afternoon.
2:30 p.m.: Doors open
4 p.m.: Super Smash Bros. Invitational begins
The tournament will be conducted using Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
