The major, held at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, Virginia, will feature tournaments for every console version of Smash Bros released \u2013 N64, Melee, Brawl, Wii U and Ultimate. The latter of which still has ongoing patches and content such as the release of Hero from Dragon Quest. Hero will be released as part of patch 4.0.0, which includes a new tournament mode, the ability to predict a winner in spectator mode, and a \u201cvery easy\u201d setting for adventure mode.

It will be interesting to see if any players pick up Hero and get good enough with him to the point that they feel comfortable using him at such a massive event. Super Smash Con has already had some controversy come its way with the implementation of a new \u201cledge grab limit\u201d. Michael Brancato, the tournament director for Super Smash Con, announced rule 5.4.7 on July 21. The new rule states, in the event of a match going to a timeout, teams or players can invoke the ledge grab limit by checking the cliffhangers statistics for all players. Should one player or team reach 60 ledge grabs, they will forfeit the match. However, if both players in a singles match \u2013 or one from each team \u2013 break the 60 limit, the rule will be disregarded. With both Ultimate and Melee getting some serious changes to how they play with the addition of new fighters and rules, this event is shaping up to produce some very fresh gameplay. It\u2019s also possible that the new Ultimate patch could buff and nerf other fighters, leading to a massive meta shift. Super Smash Con begins Thursday, August 8 and concludes Sunday, August 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
