Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you show up.
Is this for all skill levels?
Absolutely. While our Smash bracket is competitive, we also run an Ultimate Ladder for casual matchmaking. Many players attend just for friendlies and to learn from the community.
What games do you run?
We run Ultimate Singles (Best of 3, Best of 5 in top 8), Ultimate Ladder, Melee Singles, and Rivals of Aether 2 Singles — plus Magic: The Gathering and Warhammer on the tabletop side.
What are the Ultimate Singles rules?
3 stocks, 7-minute timer, items off, stage hazards off. Starters are Battlefield, Hollow Bastion, Pokemon Stadium 2, Town & City, and Small Battlefield. Counterpicks are Smashville, Final Destination, and Northern Cave. We use 2 bans with Modified DSR.
Do I need to bring my own controller?
We recommend it! We have a limited number of loaner controllers, but most Smash players prefer their own GameCube or Pro controller. For Warhammer, we have some starter minis if you're just looking to try a demo game.
How do I register?
Register through our Start.gg page. Walk-in registration is also available on event nights. Entry is completely free.
Is there an age limit?
St. Albert Arcade is an all-ages environment. We strive to maintain a welcoming, inclusive space for everyone. Younger children should be accompanied by an adult.
