disqualified from the tournament.
Turbo or programmed buttons of any kind are banned. You may use
third party controllers or pads that have these features, but if you
are suspected of using the banned features you will not be allowed to
use that controller any longer.
The Ice Climber freeze glitch is allowed if the Ice Climber player does
not use the tactic to indefinitely stall the match, and can resume gameplay
after initiating the glitch without the consent of the opponent smash
DIing back into range of a regrab. Should the game be unable to be completed
through this tactic, the match is restarted with the Ice Climber player at a 1
stock deficit, and the opponent gets to keep their stock and resets their
percentage to 0.
Wobbling is allowed.
Tactics such as Peach's Wallbombing and Jiggly's Rising Pound are
allowed as methods of recovery or to manuever around the stage. Using
them (or any similar tactics) to excessively stall a match, such as
droping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, is banned.
Judges will be on the tournament floor can be called in at any time to
enforce this rule during a match.
You are responsible to BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER.
