Nintendo continues courting hardcore Super Smash Bros. fans with a tournament at San Diego Comic-Con

Nintendo didn’t just stop ignoring the competitive Super Smash Bros. community — it is actively going after them with multiple events.

Nintendo revealed this morning that it will hold an open competition for its upcoming four-player brawler during the upcoming comic-book gathering at its offsite “gaming lounge” at the Marriott Marquis & Marina hotel. Starting at noon on July 25, preliminary rounds begin, with four fighters playing at the same time. The winner moves on. In the later rounds, Nintendo has players facing off against each other 1-on-1. That means, if you hope to compete, you’ll need to prepare a strategy for the frenzied four-player fights as well as head-to-head battles. This is the latest attempt by Nintendo to tap into the dedicated competitive-gaming scene to promote Super Smash Bros.
