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.

Android is currently coming to Smash Summit 5 as Armada's coach. The coach has to be registered and employed to the same organization well in advance of voting.

What's the rule for players without an org? It seems a little bit unfair to put them at a disadvantage because they haven't been lucky enough to get signed yet.

Because then all 16 players essentially get to bring their friend in for free.
