• Event Rulesets

Smash 4 Singles:

Spoiler

• Stock and time are set to 2 stock and 6 minutes
• Items are set to "off" and "none"
• Customs are set to "on"
• Mii Fighters are legal, and you may set up or transfer them before the tournament, if available.
• If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.
• You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.
• Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.
• If the match ends with the successful use of a Self-Destruct move (Ganoncide, Bowsercide, etc.), the player who initiated the move wins regardless of the victory screen results.
  
• Stalling is banned.

Stalling: The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling, while doing an infinite grab endlessly against a wall is. Any infinite chain grabs must end quickly after 300% has been reached so as to prevent excessive stalling.

For those who are new to the competitive Super Smash Bros. scene, this is how a set between two players should look like:

1. Opponents choose their characters for the first match*
2. Opponents start the stage striking procedure
3. Each player may announce one stage to be banned for counterpicks of the set
4. The first game is played, using the stage chosen during step 2
5. The loser of the previous match announces the next match's stage from either the Starter Stage List or the Counter Stage List
6. The winner of the previous match chooses their character
7. The loser of the previous match chooses their character
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for all proceeding matches

*Double blind character selection may be called for the first match

Smash 4 Doubles:

Spoiler

• Team Attack is set to ON
• Share Stock is allowed

All other rules apply as Smash 4 Singles

Stage List:

Spoiler

You must follow the stage striking system to determine the starter stage, but if both players agree to play on a particular stage they can skip this step. In this system, players take turns striking stages from the stage list until only one remains. The first person to strike a stage can be determined by Rock-Paper-Scissors.

Playable Stages:
Battlefield
Final Destination
Delfino Plaza
Kongo Jungle 64
Skyloft
Halberd
Lylat Cruise
Castle Siege
Town and City
Smashville
Duck Hunt
Wuhu Island
Windy Hill Zone

All other stages are banned.
​

After each match, the winning player may choose to ban 2 stages from the stage list.
The Loser of the match then selects their "counterpick" stage. Repeat this step for each subsequent match of the set.

We will be using AA's Official Custom Moveset Project for the tournament, so you may want to look into your character's custom moves prior to the event. The custom sets will be loaded on to the setups.

You can find videos of each character's custom moves here.

• General Rules

· Mages DQ Rule:
2 Minutes Late – Warning
4 Minutes Late – Loss of first match of set
6 Minutes Late – Loss of set​

· All tournaments are double elimination, best 2 out of 3. Winners Finals, Losers Finals, and Grand Finals are all 3/5 and the winner of the Losers Bracket must win 2 sets in order to win, because the winner of the Winners Bracket has yet to lose a set.
· Please try and keep the yelling down. The Boys and Girls Club are nice enough to use their amazing facilities, so try and give the smash community a good impression. We want to make this a recurring tournament!
· Same as the above, try to avoid swearing. It would be appreciated.
· Smoking is unallowed. If you must, take a walk down the block, but please keep it off the premise. If you catch someone smoking, please report it!
· Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc), except for cosmetic changes (paint job, different colored plastic), are banned. If you are caught using a banned controller you will be disqualified from the tournament.
· Money Matches and friendlies: Keep in mind tournament games take priority over you. Try to get them out of the way during the startup of the tournament and in between breaks. Once the tournament has progressed specific setups will be open for friendlies and money matches.
· Let a staff member know if you leave the venue for whatever reason (Food, etc.).

• Setups

• 8 Televisions (All widescreens) are being supplied by the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua
• 1 Wii U with GameCube Controller Adapter provided by myself
• 1 Wii U each provided by Chris & Craig - No GameCube Controller Adapter

We need more 'Wii U's for this! Those who bring a Wii U do NOT have to pay the venue fee to get in. The same goes for the GameCube Controller Adapter - in fact, we need those more desperately!

Additional things to look forward to at the tournament venue are the following:

• 2 Pool tables.
• 2 Foosball tables.
• A Ping Pong table.
• Vending Machines.
• Numerous seats, including couches!
• Possibly a concession stand selling yet to be decided food items.
• Super Smash Bros. 64 Set Up & possible other video games

If you have ANY questions, either post in the thread or contact me through email. Only call my cell on the day of the tournament for last minute questions/directions, please.
Get hyped!

Im coming for sure, but my younger brother would love to come. He is 9 years old though, so what are the age limits on the tournament?

 

[kuma-b4]

sounds cool, will be sure to bring my gamecube adapter!

 

[kuma-b4]

Oh and also, will the custom moves part be provided (custom sets already unlocked and set up on the Wii U's) or will I need to bring my 3DS to set mine up?

 

[Mr. Escalator]

Prizes for the tournament came in! I'm really excited to share them - I'll probably post some pictures on the Facebook event page soon.

No age limits! Just be aware, we can't be responsible for other people not watching their language - that said, the community is pretty awesome and should be able to handle younger players attending; for example, we might have a few younger teenagers (13 & 14 or so) present, so I think it's fine.

If he wants to show up, that's awesome!

YES! That would be so helpful! One of the few things we really need for the tournament are the Gamecube Adapters.
p.s. Venue fee is waived for bringing a Wii U or Gamecube Adapter, so make sure to mention that when you check in!

We will be using AA's Official Custom Moveset Project, so we'll load the custom sets onto the Wii U's from my 3DS prior to the tournament. If you want a specific set, you can bring your own 3DS or let me know what to preload for you!

There will be a lot of players new to Smash Wii U, and there will also be players just new to playing competitively. It should be a good tournament to break into the scene, as this is new for a lot of players! That said, there should be some tough competition, so the challenge is a great thing to have to get better.

The point of this tournament is to build a competitive scene in New Hampshire, so this will be an experiment on a lot of levels. We do plan on running this Bi-Monthly or possibly Monthly if it turns out to be successful (which it should). I hope to see you at the next one!
