"Even if you use Steve, you can't be Acola.
Even if you use Cloud, you can't be Sparg0.
Even if you use Pit, you can't be Zackray.
Even if you use Game & Watch, you can't be Miya.
In the end, it's the player's power. Not the character's power.
That's what it's all about, right?"
Acola stated on his post-summit livestream that he chose Onin's Steve skin during his set against Leo because he wanted to recreate Onin's set at Super Smash Con - and he nearly did, losing exactly the same number of stocks throughout the set as Onin did in the SSC set.

Looks like tournaments in Japan with over 200 entrants will now need rights from Nintendo to run.
Events with less than 200 entrants in Japan are subject to guidelines prohibiting for-profit events, entry fees higher than the equivalent of $13, and monetary prizes of any kind.
