Shockingly, Smash is running long. We're in losers quarters right now. Not sure if they did winners finals yet.

Wait, the ENTIRE top 8 is best of 5? Wtf

How many hours of Smash will this be after all is said and done? Feels like it's been on stream 1 all day.

Melee started around 2.

It's ridiculous that all of top 8 is best of 5 for this game. Are the Smash games the only ones run like that despite taking a lot longer even with best of 3s?

There are two stages. The small stage in the back where the 5v5 was being run, and the mIn stage up front where Smash is currently rumning. TO just confirmed they are waiting for Smash and starting SF on the main stage and not running it on the stage in the back, so expect an hour+ more before SF5.

That sucks for SF fans. :( Not sure why CC didn't anticipate Smash taking so long, based on its history at other events.

Smash 4 and Melee need to stop happening on the same day. Do Melee on Sat, 4 Sun, and save best of 5s for winners finals, losers finals, and grand finals.
