The Smash OC 2016 Invitational Tournament

To commemorate the support of Super Smash Bros. OC 2016, and the Super Smash Bros. Fan Game series as a whole, RedHero14 announced and subsequently hosted an invitational tournament in Roanoke, Virginia.
The game played was Super Smash Bros. OC 2016 on the Wii U, marking the first time that the game was playable to the public. Sixteen players were invited to participate. Intended to be more an exhibition of the game than a standard tournament, the event featured some non-standard rules, such as the inclusion of items in some matches, in order to demonstrate multiple aspects of gameplay that were previously unrevealed.
The tournament has 3,000 in-person spectators, with costumed fans receiving priority seating; all spectators were given flipboards with the official art of all playable characters in order to vote on who their favourite player in a match was.
The entirety of the tournament was also hosted locally as a Fan-Game.

==Rulset==
The following rules were in effect:
*Before the tournament began, all competitors chose characters in random order. Characters could not be chosen by multiple players, and players could not switch characters midway through the tournament.
*Each match was a four player free-for-all, with all players having four stocks, as well as a five minute timer. The top two players in terms of score advanced. A tie between two players was decided by which player KOed more players; if this was insufficient, the tie would then be broken by fan vote.
*The finals took place on Battlefield, with both players having four stocks and the time at 8 minutes, as an explicit homage to the competitive Smash community.
*Items were on medium for round 1, low for rounds 2 and 3, and off for the final.
