It was a good experience for my first time going to a launch for a game. I went in, got Brawl, and left (I considered entering the tournament, but they had already started by the time I got there, and if I made it to later rounds, it'd be too much trouble to work around my schedule). Because the Gamestop I went to opened at 9AM instead of having a midnight release, I didn't see any hardcore nerds emerge from their mommy's basement or grandma's attic to get Brawl (The nerds won't emerge from their "lair" until the sun is down)
