Nintendo has announced that the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate European Online Challenge tournament has been delayed thanks to "technical issues" brought about by the game's latest patch.
Tomorrow was supposed to play host to the very first European Online Challenge. Called 'Throwback Throwdown', the event was to be inspired by the original Super Smash Bros. on Nintendo 64, with the most talented players walking away with up to 10,000 Gold Points to spend on the Switch eShop.
Nintendo says, "Due to technical issues introduced in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate ver. 9.0.0, we have decided to delay this Friday's European Online Challenge - Throwback Throwdown. We apologise for any inconvenience, and will announce the new date soon."
It's unclear what the technical issues may be relating to, but something in the latest update has clearly caused a bit of a problem – and no, we're not talking about Steve's unfortunate victory screen. Could it be the new glitch which causes players to fall through the stage's floor?
If you were looking forward to taking part, make sure to keep an eye on Nintendo's socials for more info on that new date.

Steve caught Covid.
Probably the stage clip Steve can do in the center of battlefield.
@JHDK You mean Codevid.
There would be no other reason, so definitely has to involve the glitch.
@JHDK Then you get on Smash and all the characters on the roster screen are suddenly wearing masks.
@Giygas_95 I’ll be honest, If Doc Mario had that as an extra costume, I’d pay the dollar for it. Two dollars if they tell me it goes to some Covid charity.
@Roam85 You think Nintendo is going to do something consumer-friendly?
I don't think its due to Steve or his level specifically as the competition is limited to N64 characters and levels anyway. May be an issue thats cropped up elsewhere
@Chunkboi79 Is it really consumer friendly to sell me a very basic extra costume either at a profit or for a charitable tax deduction?
@Roam85 it's very consumer friendly, you pay for a bit of extra content for a charity. That's a great and selfless thing for a company to do. Nintendo is greedy tho, they wouldn't even do something as small as that.
Steve broke Smash... in more ways than one.
I heard the technical issue is pretty MEATY.
@Chunkboi79 I suppose it wouldn't be Thursday if Nintendo's fans weren't insulting them.
@JimmySpades Consistency is important friend.
@SCAssassin yeah thats what i was thinking
That's quite a shame. I was looking forward to this tournament.
How is this game online?
When I played it last online it didn't work. With more than 2 players it was just broken. Have they fixed that issue?
