The Story Of The Time Ben Reeves Played In A Smash Bros. Tournament
During E3 2014, Nintendo was celebrating the looming release of the recently-announced Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U. As part of this celebration, Nintendo held a big ol' tournament. As part of that tournament, Nintendo held an exhibition match between four journalists called the Media Rumble. Fran Mirabella from IGN, David Kepler from Gameswelt, Basara Sato from Famitsu, and, of course, Ben Reeves from Game Informer were all there to represent their individual outlets.
I decided to film Reeves' participation in the tournament, and four short years later, I finally took that footage and edited it into a 2.5 minute documentary feature short. It turns out I am not as good at, or as fast as editing video as Ben Hanson or Leo Vader. Enjoy!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
