Apex announces official stream partner + additional features!

October 27, 2011 in Media, News

Over the last three years, Apex has become the standard for events in the Super Smash Bros. community. We have strived to become better and, with each year, have succeeded. With help from you, the fans, we’re improving; we’re trying to provide an experience like no other. This year we wanted to improve every facet of the event. Of course, this includes what we feel is the most important part of any event: The livestream. We’re trying create something that has not been seen before. It is with a great deal of pride that we announce our official stream partner for this event, Jaxel from www.8wayrun.com. A relationship that has stemmed from his brilliantly high-quality streams at Juice.Gaming’s Concentrate events held in New Jersey. Since we established the relationship, he has been nothing short of professional and very enthusiastic about helping the scene grow into the collosus that it should be! Thanks to this blossoming love between www.8wayrun.com and Smash, we’ve worked out an amazing weekend of streaming for Apex 2012, and for him to be our primary stream provider! This is not the only news we have, either! Directional Influence, the go-to podcast for Smash news has joined the Apex fray! We will be working all Apex weekend with Directional Influence to produce a LIVE broadcast of their show. This means that instead of boring down time and dead air, we will have a professional crew set to have live interviews, discussions, and predictions with some of our favorite

Updates for the Fighting Games, our final event, and “The Smash Bros!”

October 14, 2011 in Media, News, Tournament Info

Everyone has been excited ever since we announced that Pokemon, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, and Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade edition 2012 would be coming to Apex, and now we’re ready to give you the next batch of details! Until UMvC3 and SSF4:AE12 are released, we’re going to stick with normal ruleset.  Addendums will be made as game breaking tactics are discovered! Both games will run: All sets leading up to the finals will be best two out of three.  Winner’s Finals, Loser’s Finals and Grand Finals will be best three of five.  If the player from loser’s bracket wins a best of five set against the Winner’s Final victor, the match will be reset, and a final set of five will be played. Time limit:  99 Damage set to game default Stage set to random, unless players can agree to a stage. The winner must keep his character/team, and assists/ultra.  In Marvel, you may not change your order. Next, I know we promised to announce a game, and while some of you have seen the trailer and some haven’t, we’re pumped to announce that we’re also bringing on Mortal Kombat 9! MK9 has shown a strong force in the last half of a year, with Nether Realm Studios keeping a watchful eye on tournament results and player feed back to create an ever changing, ever evolving fighter.  This year, Apex is proud to offer you guys who is now the major trinity in fighting games! Double Elimination All sets leading

SiiS6 [Wrap Up + Results]

October 14, 2011 in News, Qualifiers, Tournament Info

Last weekend was School is in Session 6. If you weren’t there, you probably heard about it, and if you didn’t get a chance you can still watch all the action from VGBootcamp’s stream over at twitch.tv: [ http://www.twitch.tv/vgbootcamp/b/295953351 ] This was my third School is in Session tournament (also attended 3 and 4) and like the previous ones it did not disappoint. As an Apex qualifier, almost all of the top talent from the Midwest was represented along with a few East Coast names. As a two-day tournament, there was more than enough time for the crazy-fun-random-stuff that makes Smash tournaments a blast. To really understand the fun of School is in Session 6, look no further then the venue. For the $10 venue fee each player had all-you-can-play access to over 20 different arcade classics. In addition, the store sold at great prices movies, CD’s, and video games going back as far as the original Sega and Nintendo systems for cheap prices. There were lots of things to do outside of playing in the tournament, which meant there was not a dull moment. Saturday was filled with doubles and Singles pool play. The Doubles tournament had 25 teams and went smoothly. MD/VA’s super team of Logic & Coney went undefeated through the tournament, but they did meet an unlikely team in the finals. MJG & Kain sporting a mix of Toon Link/Meta Knight alongside Wolf proved to be a strong team. As doubles finished up Singles pool play
