The Big House is an annual Super Smash Bros. tournament series held in Michigan since 2011. It is considered one of the largest and most prestigious Smash Bros. tournament series alongside GENESIS, Evolution Championship Series (EVO) and Super Smash Con.

History

2011–2014

The first Big House tournament was held on October 22, 2011, on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan. 115 entrants participated in Super Smash Bros. Melee singles and the event was won by Oscar "Lovage" Nilsson.[1][non-primary source needed] It was an Apex 2012 qualifier.

The second tournament was held on October 6–7, 2012 on the campus of the University of Michigan. The Melee event was won by Joseph "Mango" Marquez. Project M was won by Brian "metroid1117" Lin.

The Big House 3 was held from October 12–13, 2013 in Ann Arbor.[1][non-primary source needed] It was won by Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman.[2]

The Big House 4 was held from October 4–5, 2014, in Romulus. It was won by Joseph "Mango" Marquez.[3][4][5][6][7]

2015–2019

The fifth edition of The Big House was held from October 2–4, 2015, in Dearborn. Prior to the tournament, top Swedish player Leffen was denied entry into the United States at customs because of lack of a proper work visa due to his affiliation with an American company, Team SoloMid.[8] It was won by Adam "Armada" Lindgren over Juan "Hungrybox" Debiedma in the grand finals.[9] Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was featured for the first time, and was won by Gonzalo "ZeRo" Barrios, who also won all nationals he attended up to that point, including the super majors Apex 2015 and EVO 2015.[10] There were 1,317 singles entrants for Melee and 512 for Wii U. This iteration of the tournament dropped Project M as an official event.

Brawl and Wii U side events, respectively won by Hunter "Player-1" Rogers over Will "Lain" Vetter and Brenden "ShyDude" King over "AFMbot".

2020 cancellation

The Big House cancelled its 2020 tournament in July due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tournament organizers later announced an online tournament for December 2020. The tournament was again cancelled after they received a cease and desist letter from Super Smash Bros. publisher Nintendo. Nintendo took concern with the tournament's plans to use an emulator that enables netplay and matchmaking for Melee but requires use of a ripped copy of the game, citing piracy concerns.[21][22]

2022–present

The Big House returned to an offline format for its tenth iteration, held on October 7–9, 2022. at the Huntington Place in Detroit as part of the Nintendo-sponsored Panda Cup. Melee was won by Masaya "aMSa" Chikamoto over Joseph "Mango" Marquez, marking the first time "aMSa" and a Yoshi player won a major tournament in the game's competitive lifespan; Cody "iBDW" Schwab, Zain Naghmi and Miles "Soonsay" Foster qualified for the Melee bracket of the Panda Cup Finale. Ultimate was won by Michael "Riddles" Kim over Paris "Light" Ramirez; Ramirez, Gavin "Tweek" Dempsey and Antony "MuteAce" Hoo qualified for the Ultimate bracket of the Panda Cup Finale. Smash 64 was won by Josh Brody over Keanu "OJ" Betancourt.[23][24][25][26] As with the previous tournament, there were smaller Brawl and Wii U side events, respectively won by Christina "Chia" Korsak over "Merrick" and "Mr. Spikes" over "Arico".
