While the entire scene is sure to shift to the Wii U version upon its release next month, the Smash community has been providing some early glimpses of how early Super Smash Bros. 4 competition is shaking out by way of the recent handheld release. One of the first high-profile tournaments to include the game, KTAR X, wrapped up this past weekend, and we now have replays to check out courtesy of CLASH Tournaments.
In addition to the usual singles and doubles tournaments for Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, this regional event also featured some great matches in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS courtesy of competitors like Jtails and Nairo, the former sticking with Diddy through much of the event and the latter switching between Robin and Little Mac as the need arose.
We won’t go into too many details in the effort of keeping spoilers to a minimum, but one simian fighter in particular is looking to be a mighty strong contender in this new game’s early days.
You’ll find all of the finals matches below, but more are available in the official playlist if you’re in need of further footage.
