Shadowloo Showdown (October 12-13, 2013) - Feedback please! Next major Santasmash!

[Nicks]

At the very least how about we add the stages for doubles only?

 

[Luco]

Ah right I forgot we don't have a doubles - specified stagelist. Huh. :o

 

[Dekar289]

I don't know why Australia hates Castle Siege... It's so weird to me, haha.

At the very least how about we add the stages for doubles only?

 

[SurPr15e]

Any player reveals for Melee or Brawl yet ?

 

[Hughie]

We don't know yet, but the only player i hope comes down is Hungrybox

DEKAR REMEMBER WHEN YOU ASKED ME ABOUT WHO I WANTED TO COME DOWN WELL I HAVE A ANSWER

[Dekar289]

We definitely need Mango.

 

[S.D]

Mango has already been, but it would be fun to have him back... Hungrybox is a pretty cool guy, but it's puff... Who needs that?

Hey S.D. Nice performance at EVO. Bad luck in losers bracket. I thought you would have versed Android but things happen. Hope you make up for it at Shadowloo Showdown.

 

[Hardpelicn]

Shroomed Kthnx, I need his Doc Knowledge!

 

[S.D]

Thanks dude. I expected to at least make losers final of my pool but what can you do. Had I beaten the average sheik I lost to I would have played C!Z who is actually a very solid marth, so that would have been interesting. I was super sick with a really bad flu at evo which really curtailed my performance, hoping to go back next year for Evo or Apex to make amends.

 

[SurPr15e]

What do you reckon the exhibition matches at Shadowloo Showdown will be for Smash.

 

[Redact]

[Hughie]

I like that ruleset

* Master Hand is banned.

Do we really need to put that in the rules?

 

[S.D]

Yes.

Otherwise people are free to select him. It's a common sense rule, but if not specified it can be abused.

One addition to the ruleset
*Players may request neutral starting positions.

Another addition
*Timic clause: Any stage may be played on if agreed to by both parties

 

[Jamwa]

Quickly port shadow moses island to melee

 

[SurPr15e]

Shadowloo Showdown is like Australia's Wrestlemania for fighting games.

 

[SurPr15e]

Do you reckon there will be a Project M tournament at Shadowloo Showdown.

 

[Jamwa]

Do you reckon there will be a Project M tournament at Shadowloo Showdown.

Not likely

 

[Attila_]

we're pushed for time as it is. project m will not be making an appearance.

 

[S.D]

Speaking of †ime when are we going to info dump the OP and get interstate interest happening?

 

[Attila_]

probably best to get this ball rolling sooner rather than later.

would be easier if the OP was transferred to myself/SD. Mods?

 

[Shaya]

you have the ownership of this thread... already... from ages ago...

 

[S.D]

Yeah attila OP is under your control

 

[Attila_]

so important it's hard to keep up... i'll put rulesets and stuff in there today.

 

[S.D]

For the sake of consistency could you add these to the melee rules please attila.

Any acts of forfeiting, match fixing, pot splitting and/or bracket manipulation are subject to punishment from the TO.

• Any coaching during the match (but not in between matches) is prohibited. Players who violate this rule will receive a warning (BOTH the player AND the person coaching the player) on the first attempt. Players who violate this rule after a warning will be disqualified from the event and a possible ejection from the venue.
• Players are to attend their matches at the designated times they are called. If you are late to a match, the following rules will be applied based on the amount of time:
  • If you are 5 minutes late: Results in a match loss
  • If you are 10 minutes late: Results in a set loss
  • These times will be strictly enforced to make sure that each player will enjoy the full event on a timely manner

Modified Doubles Rules​

• Team Attack set to “On”

• Life stealing is allowed - If the game is paused accidentally while attempting to steal a life, the opposing team may deem that life forfeit. Wait until the announcer has finished saying defeated before pressing start, or turn pause off prior to beginning the match.
  

Also add


BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER
In the event of an equipment malfunction, the match will be restart from the last known position or from any point in the match that is agreed upon by the players. Please look for an official and do not start such a rematch on your own.


In a set, character selection for the first round may be a double blind pick


In case of a controller port dispute, players may elect to Contest Port Priority

 

[Attila_]

I'll add a 'general rules' section when I get home, which will stop the repetition.

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

1. Winner announces stage ban (except in best-of-5 sets)
is this rule going to be followed for once? or am I just going to sit quietly while everyone bans FD... again.

 

[Attila_]

for melee, is port ever an issue? if you have the option of starting from a neutral position, the idea seems kinda useless.

 

[Jamwa]

Starters​

Battlefield​

Final Destination​

Lylat Cruise​

Smashville​

Yoshi’s Island (Brawl)​

 

[Dekar289]

[S.D]

Port priority still exists in melee, it's just less pronounced. So for some ports is still an issue.

@Zac: No bans in b05 will be enforced.

EDIT: Attila can you make a poll. KJ64 for doubles yes or no? I'm in favour of having at least ONE counterpick stage available and it seems the best candidate. Unless people really want 5 neutrals as their only options in doubles?

 

[Dekar289]

got to get to bo5 part of the bracket first, zac

 

[Jamwa]

Why is there no option for Pichu?

Am I not even recognized after coming 7th?

 

[Karnu]

Frigate Legal pls, vic needs Lucario love.
