'''Supernova''', known as '''Super Smash Con''' prior to 2024, is a [[tournament]] series and convention held annually in the [[MD/VA]] region. It's considered one of the largest and most prestigious tournament series in competitive ''Smash''. | |||
'''Super Smash | ==Description== | ||
Supernova is one of the only tournament series that hosts brackets for every single ''Super Smash Bros.'' title. While the tournament has always had large entrant numbers for both ''Melee'' and the newest ''Smash'' title, it has also become the most prestigious ''Smash 64'' tournament series, and is one of the only annual majors for ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' following the release of their respective successors. | |||
Outside of the usual events, the tournament also holds several side events often not found at other events. One of the tournament’s most well-known events is the annual ''Smash 64'' [[Combo Contest]], first hosted in 2016. Contestants showcase their combos in front of a panel of judges, aiming to score the highest number of points. {{Sm|Prince}} has won the contest four times out of five events total. Another well-known event was the "Smash Masters", where invited players compete across multiple ''Smash'' titles to determine the "best overall ''Super Smash Bros.'' player". The side event was held from 2016 to 2019. | |||
Supernova is uniquely branded as both a tournament and a convention, and shares many features commonly found at gaming and anime conventions, including cosplay contests and a large array of gaming-related vendors. It also hosts the "Smashies Awards", an annual ceremony dedicated to recognizing the achievements and contributions of ''Smash'' community members. | |||
Likely as a result of the [[Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines]] disallowing events from having "Super Smash Bros." in its title, the tournament was rebranded from "Super Smash Con" to "Supernova" in 2024, with "nova" specifically referring to the scene where the tournament is held (North Virginia, or NoVa). | |||

Supernova, known as Super Smash Con prior to 2024, is a tournament series and convention held annually in the MD/VA region. It's considered one of the largest and most prestigious tournament series in competitive Smash.
Description[edit]
Supernova is one of the only tournament series that hosts brackets for every single Super Smash Bros. title. While the tournament has always had large entrant numbers for both Melee and the newest Smash title, it has also become the most prestigious Smash 64 tournament series, and is one of the only annual majors for Brawl and Smash 4 following the release of their respective successors.
Outside of the usual events, the tournament also holds several side events often not found at other events. One of the tournament’s most well-known events is the annual Smash 64 Combo Contest, first hosted in 2016. Contestants showcase their combos in front of a panel of judges, aiming to score the highest number of points. Prince has won the contest four times out of five events total. Another well-known event was the "Smash Masters", where invited players compete across multiple Smash titles to determine the "best overall Super Smash Bros. player". The side event was held from 2016 to 2019.
Supernova is uniquely branded as both a tournament and a convention, and shares many features commonly found at gaming and anime conventions, including cosplay contests and a large array of gaming-related vendors. It also hosts the "Smashies Awards", an annual ceremony dedicated to recognizing the achievements and contributions of Smash community members.
Likely as a result of the Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines disallowing events from having "Super Smash Bros." in its title, the tournament was rebranded from "Super Smash Con" to "Supernova" in 2024, with "nova" specifically referring to the scene where the tournament is held (North Virginia, or NoVa).
