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.

One format my friends have tried a couple times is something we call "random knockback modifier" where we basically pick numbers from a hat and play a few matches with the knockback changed. It's interesting seeing what new combos becomee available / seeing people get out of stuff unexpectedly / seeing non-kill moves become kill moves.
I know it's heavily unexplored and almost never discussed, might be something worth considering!
