Zero Challenge 2 (abbreviated as 0C2 or OC2) was a Super Smash Bros. Melee national tournament held by the professional Smash crew Socal Elite 4 in August 2006. The tournament was held in the recreation room of the David L. Baker Memorial Golf Center in Fountain Valley, California, and advertisements included the line "experience the best Smash talent ever aligned at one tournament...including the very best of Japan, Europe, and the rest of the international community."

The tournament received a very high attendance: 192 singles entrants, 98 doubles teams, 38 crews, and 7 international crews.

Events[edit]

  • Doubles: All entered teams were placed directly into a very large 98-entrant bracket.

Controller ports[edit]

  • Any disagreements over controller port assignments were settled by coin toss.
