Ready to brawl? Jump into Casual Chaos — a no-pressure Smash Bros. hangout where you can play, laugh, and take it easy!

Play or spectate, hop in and out as you please, and try out a game you might not have at home. With silly game modes, minimal wait times, no eliminations until grand finals, and prizes for the top 4, it’s the perfect way to chill, meet new people, and enjoy some low-stress, casual competition.

We’re serious about having fun — our events are smooth, welcoming, and we’ll show you how to play. All skill levels welcome!

Low sodium environment for casual gamers

No experience required. This event is focused on having fun and creating hilarious memories. Players will start in a Swiss bracket playing in groups of three to four with silly game modes. Everyone will get to play multiple rounds until the end of the event. At the end of the event we will cut to our top players who will compete for prizes. Whether this will be your first time playing Smash Bros. or you’ve been playing for years and are looking for a more casual environment, you are welcome here.

How the event works

CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER: Before 3:30 PM check-in to sign up for our Smash Bros. Ultimate casual competition. RSVPing is not a guarantee of entry into the tournament, but you do get priority. There is a 24 player cap and it is first come, first serve. Come early to guarantee your spot!

READY, GO: We will call your matches and tell you where to go. You will sit down and play in pods of three to four. At the end of your match, record your placement on the scorecard given to you and report back to the organizers. Wait times between matches may be up to 20 minutes.

NEW CHALLENGER: Each match afterwards you will face people that scored similar to you. Score high enough and you’ll make the cut to play for prizes at the end of the event.

Silly Game Modes

Any of the following silly game modes may be picked randomly at the start of each round and each game mode lasts 4 minutes long. No game mode will be repeated. In the finals we will do 3 silly game modes ending with the Final Smash game mode.

Final Smash

Pick whoever you think has the coolest final smash and be the first to fill up your smash meter!

Footsies

Every hit is a gamble with only 10 stamina to work with—land a strike, but be careful, or someone else might catch you back.

Minion Master

Assist Trophies are dropping—grab them first, control the battlefield, and defeat your opponents’ assists for extra points.

Rampage

The bigger, the better! Start large and collect mushrooms to grow to gigantic proportions and crush your foes in this wild, destruction-filled battle inspired by the classic Rampage.

Salute The Sun

Hotheads are your key to victory—hit them to make them bigger, then use your character’s reflector or Franklin Badges to take control and set your opponents ablaze!

Smash for Ants

You’re the size of a ant and can barely jump! Try and knock your opponents off stage where they can’t recover, but watch out for mini-mushrooms that make you even weaker. Tip, characters with b-attacks that cause them to move like Ridley’s side-b are busted in this game mode.

Hot Potato

The bomb’s ticking—who will it explode on? The game will spawn in sticky bombs that players can hurl at each other. Dodge, aim, and pass the bomb before it’s too late—just don’t be the one caught holding it when it blows!
