ESL giving Smash Bros. Wii U a shot with first online tournaments in Europe
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Electronic Sports League, known for its huge eSports presence, is setting up two online Community Tournaments for Smash Bros. Wii U in Europe. The top four from each one will participate in a final that will be held in late August.
Here’s the complete schedule:
Super Smash Bros. Community Cup #1 Europe – 26th July 15:00 CEST
Super Smash Bros. Community Cup #2 Europe – 16th August 15:00 CEST
Super Smash Bros. Community Cup Final Europe – 22th August 15:00 CEST
And below are the official rules:
- Single Elimination
- Set length: Best of 3 / Finals: Best of 5
- Game length: 2 Stocks 6 Minutes (Timeout = the player with most Stock and Least % wins)
- Handicap, Damage Ratio and Damage Display remain the same!
- Items: off
- Equipment: off
- Custom Moves: off
- Amiibos: Illegal
- DLC Chars: Legal
- Mii Chars: Banned
- Suicide Clause: Bowser-Suicide counts as lose.
- Pause/Homebutton clause: player who uses one of those buttons without mutual agreement will lose 1 Stock
This is more of a trial run, so it makes sense that the prizes are a bit on the light side. The top three participants in the final will receive eShop funds of €50, €25 and €15 respectively. They’ll also be given a choice of Splatoon, Yoshi’s Woolly World or Super Mario Maker.

Nintendo has given Super Smash Bros. for Wii U a new update. Players can download the latest patch now, which is version 1.0.9.
Today’s update is on the simpler side of things. Nintendo’s official notice is as follows: “Adjustments have been made for a more pleasant gaming experience.”
That’s it – at least in terms of what Nintendo is saying. I’m sure people will be poking through the files to see if there are any changes to things like character stats.

Update: Here’s the 3DS size:
Today’s Smash Bros. Wii U update is rather large, which makes sense given the new content added in. The download clocks in at nearly 1,300 MB. You may experience issues downloading the update and DLC due to heavy traffic, but things should get better as the day progresses!
