We're BTS, organizers of Smash Summit 5, AMA!

Hello r/smashbros !

It's that time of year again... our compendium opens at 2:00 pm PDT (about 4 hours from this post)!!

I'm Ken (@Hot_Bid) and I'm here with Grace (@graceleecho) to answer your questions about Smash Summit 5.

Here are a few of the major changes we're making:

  • One of the compendium goals is an extra stream day
  • We'll be bringing back the group selection and RR groups
  • BIG JENGA
  • Super Smash Bros: Animelee

I'm Ken (aka Hot_Bid) and the creative lead on Smash Summit 5. The last Summit was my first event for BTS and I'm super excited to work on this one too. In the past, I've worked on StarCraft and Dota events as well as with Team Liquid. I main Falco and I'm a netplay friendlies warrior.

Grace works as a project manager / smash mom on all the Summits so far. She'll also be here to answer questions like which player doesn't check their email enough and who she plans on yelling at the most.

We'll be here answering your questions about Smash Summit 5 for the next few hours, but mostly let's talk about memes.

A certain streamer let it slip that La Luna will be commentating this summit. Is that true?

I'm in the minority here, but kinda sad for me if that's true. Really not a fan of his commentary. I like his gameplay though.

Most likely irrelevant to the main topic. Also The Moon has a huge fanbase.

How is that even close to irrelevant? They said The Moon might be coming as a commentator and the guy said he would rather see him compete than commentate. Sounds very relevant to me.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I dunno man I was mostly just thinking about what other people could be thinking

Fair enough. Sorry that I probably came across as rude, that wasn't my intent. I was just frustrated with the incessant downvoting on this sub. It's like any idea or opinion that veers off from the popular perspectives on this sub get nuked and then when people see a negative sign they join in without thinking.

It's fine dude I didn't take it personally I think you made a fine point. People are allowed to have their own opinions.
