Supernova 2024 is happening this weekend, though you may be more familiar with the event under it’s previous name “Super Smash Con”. Although the name may have changed, the size of the event sure hasn’t and this massive Smashfest will be taking place in Chantilly, Virginia, U.S.A.
Notable players attending include FENNEL|Miya, Zeta|Acola, LG|Sonix, Nouns|Cody Schwab, C9|Mango, E36|Hurt, LG|Tweek, FaZe|Sparg0, Moist|Light, Plup, FLY|Jmook, Liquid|Hungrybox, RC|Shuton, Stride|Shadic, T1|MkLeo, MxM|Moky, Nouns|Aklo, Tempo|Axe, KoDoRiN, Liquid|Riddles, Moist|Kola, TamaPDaifuku, Raru, Asimo, Woo|Magi, Moist|Joshman, Spark, Spiral|Krudo, Panda, Junebug, Kurabba, SuPeRbOoMfAn, Zomba, Snow, MuteAce, Zeta|Tea, Onin, Revo|Yoshidora, Zeta|Gackt, Crêpe Salée, SBI|Ken and more.
As usual, Supernova has an extremely high amount of entrants with almost 2,300 for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate alone. Super Smash Bros. Melee comes in second with just above 900 signups.
Back from when it was known as Super Smash Con, this event is always a massive celebration of the Super Smash Bros. franchise and features tournament play for each entry in the series. Super Smash Bros. Wii U fell just short of 300 participants, the franchise-starter Super Smash Bros. 64 reached around 240 players and Super Smash Bros. Brawl came in at over 180 competitors. Each of the Super Smash Bros. games will also have Doubles competitions for even more fun times.
There will also be tournament play for the yet-to-be-released Rivals 2 which reached around 250 entrants.
Streaming is being done at VG Boot Camp, VG Boot Camp 2, VG Boot Camp 3 and VG Boot Camp 4.
