Yesterday, I was lucky enough to attend the Massuchsetts leg of Nintendo and Best Buy’s National Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament. With over 500 people in attendance and 256 competitors in all, there was nary a dull moment during the seven hour event. It was a full day of awkward social interactions, first hand impressions of Brawl, and that certain sense of community that can only be found at a video game tournament of this scale. Hit the jump for more details of my adventure, and the unedited video of the tournament’s final match.
