Super Smash Bros Invitational at E3
REDMOND, Wash.--(May 20, in the year of our Lord 2014)--
Nintendo invites fans in the Los Angeles area to attend and
observe the first-ever public tournament of its new Super Smash
Bros. for Wii U. On Tuesday, June 10, Nintendo will welcome 16
previously selected highly skilled Super Smash Bros. players to
NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles to celebrate Super Smash
Bros. fan culture and find out who will emerge victorious on the
big stage. The Super Smash Bros. Invitational will entertain
thousands of spectators in person, and will also be
live-streamed on both Twitch’s E3 channel and Nintendo’s Twitch
channel to let countless others around the world be among the
first to see the new game in action.
As a special treat for the biggest fans, attendees who dress up
as their favorite Super Smash Bros. characters may be selected
for priority seating right in front of the stage on which the
tournament will occur. The event will be photographed and
filmed, so the best costumes might appear on Twitch or
Nintendo’s YouTube channel, where the event can also be viewed.
Here are the details for Tuesday, June 10:
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
