About Us

Meet the Super Smash Con Team! Most of us met in college, but our close circle quickly expanded to include childhood neighbors and friends. We come from different backgrounds, studied different things in college, and have come to support Super Smash Con for different reasons. However, there is one thing that we share in common: we love video games! That’s what Super Smash Con is all about to us. We are a community bound together by our passion for video games, and we’re all crazy hype about sharing this community with all of you at the best weekend you’ll have in 2015!

JUSTIN | “Justin”

Justin has been Smashing on the 64 for the last decade and a half, and entered the competitive community a few years ago under the super-creative handle “Justin.” With his closest friends, Justin is co-owner of  a LEGO recycling company that the began almost 5 years ago. Armed with the success his company has found on the convention circuit, Justin began planning Super Smash Con in September of 2014. His vision for a Nintendo fan convention, coupled with a large competitive Smash tournament, has become a reality!

KEVIN | “K-Phat”

Kevin has the wild look of a mad scientist, and the beard of a disgruntled lumberjack, but don’t let that fool you. When programming for SSC, he’s cool as a cucumber.
