2GG brings us epic highlights from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U at the Hyrule Saga

Ties, T-posing and taunting abound in this highlight footage of the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournaments from the recently-passed 2GG Hyrule Saga. Set in Long Beach, California, The Legend of Zelda-themed major saw Smash 4 heavyweights such as MKLeo, Elegant, Ally, and Mr. R match blades to determine who was the most fearsome warrior in the kingdom of the Triforce.

Though many shenanigans did transpire, all players appeared to have brought their A-game, which is to be expected of an event hosted by 2GG. Check out the insane 18-minute highlight reel from the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U singles and doubles matches below, and click here to see the Hyrule Saga tournament results.

Registration for Atlanta’s “Climax of Night” Soft Circle French Bread tournament now open, early bird prices last until 7/29/18

Fighting game developer Soft Circle French Bread (formerly just French Bread) is responsible for Melty Blood, Under Night In-Birth, and Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax. The company’s design philosophy and style have been hugely influential to the anime fighting game sub-genre as a whole. Despite niche sales, their partnership with publisher and developer Arc System Works has led to bigger projects that have grown the communities around their games exponentially.

What does all this mean? It means that Soft Circle French Bread’s following is big enough to support its own tournament major. Enter: Climax of Night.

And right now, sign-ups are officially open — if you, too, have been swayed by any of their recent entries (or by BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, which features Under Night characters), you should register for the tournament here!

  • Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] (PS4)
  • Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax Ignition (PS4)
  • Melty Blood Actress Again: Current Code (PC/Steam)
