Rate the Nintendo World Championship

[turtuls]

I would rate it an 8
I got to the Nokia theater at 8:50 saw miyamoto and competitors enter through the side entrance, got the wristband at around 10:20, went to smash burger and met a youtuber there, went back in line and steetpassed until they let us in around 2 (super glad for the clouds and shade we had in line. Got a really nice seat compared to last year. Said hi to a couple more youtubers, did a couple more steetpasses and then the pre show began. Yoshi looks fun but the girl playing it did not know how to play the game well and them just stretching the segment just made everyone disinterested. Then when itoi came on screen everyone got silent then one of the biggest cheers of the night came when earthbound beginnings came on screen. Then pure silence again when the trailer ran THERE WERE PEOPLE CRYING TEARS during that trailer. Then once it ended there was a round of applause and cheering. Now once the preshow ended everyone was pumped and everyone wanted to see the show. The stopped letting people in and it was about around 1/2 to 2/3 the size of the audience for the smash event last year. I told my cousins sorry for waking them up so early and then the show started. Splatoon was hyping the audience but the kid showing up was a drag, he was not bad and he had a couple good lines but I think it was a bad call to have him there, the best 2 out of 3 made the audience kind of bored and wince it was over people were happy to see the kid gone. Then the Zelda speed run came and boy does that guy from smosh suck. It was super fun to watch and the crowd was hyped. Then everyone got super hyped for the announcement of the new game. Everyone was shouting out names of the great ip (I was shouting f-zero.) then blast ball comes up and man the crowd went from 10 to 0 in a heart beat. The game was boring and it looked really bad looking on the big screen. One goal got a cheer from the audience and the magma ball got everyone interested again but other then that just people checking their phones and streetpasses. Then super metroid came and boy I was surprised how even with all those e-tanks people still died. I can't believe no one saved the animals. Everyone got super happy when mario kart 8 200 cc was announced. I liked both groups playing but the second group obviously knew how to play 200cc more than the first group and the crowd showed. Then ballon fight came and wow everyone sucked. Everyone thought egoraptor would win but Cosmo got it in the end. Then smash came and everyone was hyped like last year. It got insane when Hbox came out on stage with Reggie. It was another one of the hype at moments of the event. Then the match came everyone could not believe what they were watching. Once Reggie just jumped off the stage we knew this would end badly. The crowd still could not believe all the item kills and rests that were happening and in the end we all couldn't believe how bad Reggie showed off Ryu. Then the competitors came back and everyone was shouting "Roy's our boy" and it was super hype when Cosmo chose him. The match got kind of boring at parts but it was still fun to watch with the crowd. Then when Super Mario Maker came on people were mixed and some yell where is the new game but boy did that change fast. That first level was nuts and the crowd was super into it and everyone stood up when john beat the level. Then mario 3 was on and man that level was also super fun to watch. Then when mario world came on everyone in the crowd just laughed their ass off during the runs. The last level speed run was hyped up and man it was a good level but somewhat of a let down to see Cosmo suck at the game. Then miyamoto came out and talked to the crowd and man was that cool. I love his bad English and man it was amazing to see him. After that everyone went to the front and tried to get a high five from miyamoto and the contestants. We then left around 6:45 and went back home.

It was super fun. There were boring parts but the high parts were very high. Less people made me get a better seat this year but man last year was a little better because of the large audience. Will most likely go again next year.

Sorry for the wall of text but I guess I was the only one on this site that went there so I had say it from an audience perspective. And I know it's called the Microsoft theater but it's still Nokia in my heart.
