7 PM: Free Play

7:30 PM: Smash Ultimate Tournament Starts

Casual Chaos is the Smash Ultimate tournament made for players who just want to have fun. With silly game modes, no eliminations until grand finals, minimum wait times, prizes for the top 4, and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to meet new friends and chill out!

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 four with silly game modes. At the end of the event we will cut to our top four 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 7:30 PM buy a ticket to sign up for our Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament.

READY, GO: We will call your matches and tell you where to go. You will sit down and play in pods of four. At the end of your four person 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 for top four 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 until the final round when we will do 3 silly game modes.

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!

Sign Up Now

Fighting Game Community College is a place where you can set goals and trade feedback in a structured, friendly meetup. Whether your goal is just to relax or to hone your skills, you are welcomed here. This is not a tournament so feel free to experiment and have fun with no pressure to win.

Low sodium environment for casual gamers

No experience required. This event is focused on learning, having fun, and creating hilarious memories. No pressure to win here. Whether this will be your first time playing fighting games or you’ve been playing for years and are looking for a more casual environment, you are welcome here.

How the event works

SET GOALS: Sit down with your fellow player and share your goals for the match. Relaxing, having fun, or finally playing that F-tier, cheesy character are valid goals.

PLAY MATCHES: Play with purpose, head to the lab, or try a funny ruleset until time is called. No need to track scores. Not sure what to do? Try these ideas.

EXCHANGE FEEDBACK: After each match, exchange feedback with your partner using our tip sheets. Sometimes you’ll know things that others don’t. Explaining concepts to others deepens your own learning (plus you’ll feel smart).

GET COMBOS: At the beginning of the event you will be given a COMBO card that you can fill out after every match. Each card has a mix of different goals on them for within and outside the game. For each COMBO you complete, you earn another spot in our giveaway at the end of the event.

NEXT MATCH: Organizers will regulate your matches and you’ll repeat the process. This ensures ample play time with everyone while preventing king of the hill or the shy person never getting to play.

Games

NINTENDO SWITCH: Smash Bros. Ultimate

PLAY STATION 5: Guilty Gear Strive, Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8

Do good, feel good: Pay what you believe it’s worth to you!

Pay what you think it’s worth. 10% goes to charity at the end of the month and the rest helps support us and buy more fighting game DLC! We value creating accessible third spaces, so feel free to come out regardless of your ability to pay.

Schedule

6:30 PM: Doors Open, Free Play

7 PM: Smash Ultimate Tournament Starts

Get Your Ticket Now

Casual Chaos is the Smash Ultimate tournament made for players who just want to have fun. With silly game modes, no early eliminations, prizes for the top 4, and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to meet new friends and chill out while playing your favorite game!

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 four with silly game modes. At the end of the event we will cut to our top four 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 7 PM buy a ticket to sign up for our Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament

READY, GO: We will call your matches and tell you where to go. You will sit down and play in pods of four. At the end of your four person match, record your placement on the scorecard given to you and report back to the organizers.

NEW CHALLENGER: Each match afterwards you will face people that scored similar to you. Score high enough and you’ll make the cut for top four 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 until the final round when we will do 3 silly game modes.

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!

Hot Potato
In this explosive twist on a playground classic, 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!

Fighting Game Community College is a place where you can set goals and trade feedback in a structured, friendly meetup. Whether your goal is just to relax or to hone your skills, you are welcomed here. This is not a tournament so feel free to experiment and have fun with no pressure to win.

Low sodium environment for casual gamers

No experience required. This event is focused on learning, having fun, and creating hilarious memories. No pressure to win here. Whether this will be your first time playing fighting games or you’ve been playing for years and are looking for a more casual environment, you are welcome here.

How the event works

SET GOALS: Sit down with your fellow player and share your goals for the match. Relaxing, having fun, or finally playing that F-tier, cheesy character are valid goals.

PLAY MATCHES: Play with purpose, head to the lab, or try a funny ruleset until time is called. No need to track scores. Not sure what to do? Try these ideas.

EXCHANGE FEEDBACK: After each match, exchange feedback with your partner using our tip sheets. Sometimes you’ll know things that others don’t. Explaining concepts to others deepens your own learning (plus you’ll feel smart).

GET COMBOS: At the beginning of the event you will be given a COMBO card that you can fill out after every match. Each card has a mix of different goals on them for within and outside the game. For each COMBO you complete, you earn another spot in our giveaway at the end of the event.

NEXT MATCH: Organizers will regulate your matches and you’ll repeat the process. This ensures ample play time with everyone while preventing king of the hill or the shy person never getting to play.

If you make the cut, you’ll get a chance to play on the big stage as we throw different random game modes at you to challenge your wits. 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 7 PM look for Mario or Luigi to sign up for our Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament

READY, GO: We will call your matches and tell you where to go. You will sit down and play in pods of 4 with standard tournament rules. At the end of your 4 person match, record your placement on the scorecard given to you and report back to us.

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 on the big stage!

Free-play Games

Smash Bros. Brawl and 4 on Wii U

Smash Bros. Melee on GameCube CRT

Smash Bros. on N64

Fighting Game Community College is a place where you can set goals and trade feedback in a structured, friendly meetup. This is not a tournament so feel free to experiment and have fun with no pressure to win.

Low sodium environment for casual gamers

No experience required. This event is focused on learning, having fun, and creating hilarious memories. No pressure to win here. Whether this will be your first time playing fighting games or you’ve been playing for years and are looking for a more casual environment, you are welcome here.

How the event works

SET GOALS: Sit down with your fellow player and share your goals for the match. Relaxing, having fun, or finally playing that F-tier, cheesy character are valid goals.

PLAY MATCHES: Play with purpose, head to the lab, or try a funny ruleset until time is called. No need to track scores. Not sure what to do? Try these ideas.

EXCHANGE FEEDBACK: After each match, exchange feedback with your partner using our tip sheets. Sometimes you’ll know things that others don’t. Explaining concepts to others deepens your own learning (plus you’ll feel smart).

GET COMBOS: At the beginning of the event you will be given a COMBO card that you can fill out after every match. Each card has a mix of different goals on them for within and outside the game. For each COMBO you complete, you earn another spot in our blind bag raffle at the end of the event.

NEXT MATCH: Organizers will regulate your matches and you’ll repeat the process. This ensures ample play time with everyone while preventing king of the hill or the shy person never getting to play.

FIGHTING GAME COMMUNITY COLLEGE: Come relax and play Granblue, Smash, Street Fighter, and more!

Limited spots, no walk-ins

Sign Up Now

Fighting Game Community College is place where you can set goals and trade feedback in a structured, friendly meetup. This is not a tournament so feel free to experiment and have fun with no pressure to win. Here’s how it works:

SET GOALS: Sit down with your fellow player and share your goals for the match. Relaxing, having fun, or finally playing that F-tier, cheesy character are valid goals.

PRACTICE MATCHES: Play with purpose, head to the lab, or try a funny ruleset until time is called. No need to track scores. Not sure what to do? Try these ideas.

EXCHANGE FEEDBACK: After each match, exchange feedback with your partner using our tip sheets. Sometimes you’ll know things that others don’t. Explaining concepts to others deepens your own learning (plus you’ll feel smart).

NEXT MATCH: Organizers will assign your next match and you’ll repeat the process. This prevents king of the hill or the shy person never getting to play.

Games (DLC Included)

GAMECUBE: Smash Bros. Melee on CRT

NINTENDO SWITCH: Smash Bros. Ultimate

PLAY STATION 5: Guilty Gear Strive, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Under Night in Birth 2

Limited spots, no walk-ins. Deadline is the Friday before so sign up today!
