Gameplay Rules:
- The act of stalling is banned and is defined as intentionally making the game unplayable. Examples include becoming perpetually invisible, continuing infinites/chain grabs/uninterruptable moves past 300%, and/or reaching a position that your opponent can never reach you.
- Should you believe your opponent is stalling, please call for a TO so that it may be observed
- Any attempt at inducing lag on purpose (such as covering the infrared sensor with their finger) may result in a DQ. Accidental issues may result in the player being given a warning with consistent offenders removed from bracket.
- Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (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 of triggering one of these effects.
- Pausing the game shall only be legal while either player remains upon their OWN respawn platform, and only for the purpose of summoning the TO or in the case of a controller malfunction. All other pauses will incur a stock loss to the player who pauses the game.
- The TO’s decision is final on all matters of match fairness. If a situation arises that compromises the integrity of a match (such as an unexpected emergency) it is up to the TO to determine how to handle pausing, rematches, and any other issues.
- Coaching, when done respectfully, is allowed after a match and between rounds.
- Between rounds coaching must be kept to 60 seconds or less.
- Coaching is NOT allowed DURING rounds.
