Smash Bros. Ultimate to host new stamina tournament
Nintendo has revealed the latest weekly event coming to Super Smash Bros Ultimate and it’s all about the art of stamina battle. This time around, they are hosting the 51st tourney, “True Grit Triumphs”. It begins on September 3.
This event uses a stamina mode ruleset and will be available to participate in until September 6. The better a contestant performs, the greater Spirit rewards they will receive.
All stamina battles during the Smash Bros event will be set at 150 for all players with two stocks and a time limit of three minutes. The Final Smash Meter will be turned, as will all items. You’ll most definitely be putting pure skill to the test here.
Nintendo tends to switch off between tournaments and Spirit Board events. Last week, new spirits were distributed based on No More Heroes 3 in celebration of the game’s launch.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate originally launched for Switch back in December 2018. Since then, ten additional characters – including related stages, music, and spirits – have been added through DLC. Fans are currently waiting to hear on Challenger Pack Fighter 11, which Nintendo and director Masahiro Sakurai have said will be the very last bit of DLC. Whatever’s in store, it should be available by the end of 2021.
