Holiday Party Tournament Rules

December 14, 2016 gluxbox

The SPLI Holiday Party is SUNDAY 12/18 starting at 4PM at AON Gaming! (RSVP here if you haven’t already!)

We’ve announced a lot of fun activities, including TWO Tournaments! Now is the time to share the format and rules for the tournaments, so read on for all the details!

Amiibo Only Tournament

Ever since Amiibo figures hit store shelves, SPLI has been one of the few groups on Long Island to run “Amiibo Only Tournaments.” Since it’s been a few months since our last tournament, we decided to bring it back for the Holiday Party!

Amiibo Only Tournament Holiday Party Ruleset:

Level 50 Amiibo recommended
Doubles format: teams of 2 amiibo vs. 2 amiibo
3 Stock
5 min time limit
Stages: Battlefield or Miiverse (competitors decide on omega)
Tournament format based on number of participants
1st Place Prize: Musical Master Sword Amiibo Stand

Don’t have 2 amiibos to battle with? No worries – SPLI will provide ‘rental’ amiibo that you can borrow, while supplies last.

Pokémon Sun and Moon Tournament

The latest installments in the Pokémon series are Sun and Moon, and the games introduce a new battle style: The Battle Royal! We thought it would be fun to try out this new format for the Holiday Party! If you need some tips on this new battle format, check out this guide!

Battle Royal Holiday Party Ruleset:

Pokémon Sun/Moon required
Level 50 Pokémon recommended
Special Pokémon: Banned
Tournament format based on number of participants
1st Place Prize: Eevee Knit Beanie

If you have any questions about the rulesets, please feel free to contact us! Remember, while tournament participation is encouraged, it’s definitely not required. All we want is for everyone to have a great time and collect StreetPass tags!

What You Missed: Smash Fest @ Best Buy!

June 17, 2014 gluxbox 1 Comment

Last week was AWESOME for StreetPass Long Island members! We were treated to not one, but TWO Smash Bros. demo events at Best Buy in Valley Stream. Long Island’s NoA rep Derek was hosting the event, which allowed Long Islanders to be some of the first to get their hands on the new Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS versions!

The response from fans was HUGE, and the line was so long it wrapped around the store! Kudos to everyone who braved the heat on this crazy line!

Everyone was psyched to see Mega Man’s final smash! SPLI Co-Founder Jeff W. was so excited that he wore his Mega Man helmet to the event!

The first event was held on Wednesday, June 11th in the afternoon/evening. The response was huge, and we were all thankful that there was a second demo event on Saturday, June 14th! The Saturday event was even BIGGER, and the CROSSFIRE Smash Tournaments Team (#TeamXFIRE) even brought in their staff to do live commentary of each round!

Long Island Smasher Samantha M. aka PeachyHime from the E3 Super Smash Bros. Invitational was on the scene to challenge the masses!

SPLI was so psyched to be able to take part in this Long Island event! We hope that NoA and Derek will be able to host more official local events like this in the future!

Happy New Year from StreetPass Long Island! It’s time for the results of the 2013 SPLI AWARDS!

During the month of December, SPLI members filled out a survey to cast their votes for their favorite Nintendo 3DS and Wii U games. Here are the best games of 2013, according to StreetPass Long Island members:

StreetPass Long Island was thrilled by the number of votes received in the Second Annual SPLI AWARDS event. We had more than three times the responses in 2013’s voting phase than in 2012. If you participated by voting in the 2013 SPLI AWARDS, thank you very much for taking the time to give us your insight on the best games of the year.
