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.

Why did you guys go back to the naming convention of Smash Summit 5 instead of Smash Summit Fall 2017? Don't get me wrong I think smash summit 5 sounds way better

Honestly we only named it Smash Summit Spring 2017 so someone could finally say they ran a successful SSS.
