[1]According to Super Smash Bros. [2] fans, the first rule of Super Smash Club [3] is that you must talk about Super Smash Club. This rule and nine others were created by die-hard Canadian Super Smash Bros. fans after Reggie Fils-Aime, president and chief operating officer of Nintendo of America, issued a challenge to create the rules for the Canadian-exclusive Super Smash Club in advance of the launch of the Super Smash Bros. for 3DS game. Reggie’s video challenge was a Canadian-inspired production, featuring maple syrup and hockey players. In it, Reggie also asked Canadian Super Smash Bros. fans and players, noted among the best in the world, to share their excitement for the franchise on social media using the hashtag #SuperSmashClub, and show their support by attending upcoming Super Smash Club events across the country.
Official Rules of Super Smash Club
Reaction to Reggie’s challenge was as epic as a Smash Battle. Fans took to Nintendo of Canada’s Facebook page [4] and tweeted at @NintendoCanada [5] to suggest Super Smash Club rules. After careful consideration, the official top 10 rules for Super Smash Club have been chosen and include: [6]
- First rule of Super Smash Club: You must talk about Super Smash Club.
- All battles will take place on final destination stages.
- Fight for fun the first match, fight for glory in the second.
- Free for all: 1 vs. 1 vs. 1 vs. 1.
- Three-minute matches. No more, no less.
- Level the playing field. Smash Ball only. No other items.
- Always change characters after a win.
- No stalling or air camping.
- Save all punches, kicks and taunts for the game.
- Respect those Smashing. Respect the Club.
