How about make it that you can't use the character you WON with more than once. This all made me think of Custom Robo, and then I thought that. That way people would still have to guess a little more. So that would mean if you BEAT their marth, then they could COME back with marth...

bad idea?q

I like the idea of banning a character. I could walk in and say that Sheik is my main, when really Marth is.

Lol. Maybe people could see what mains we have used recently (and won or something) and see from that as well.

LOL but crafty idea, Wo1f.

I'm okay with this. It wouldn't get exploited by anyone good, because everyone knows what they play. And anyone below that radar probably isn't good enough to get far if they lied.

How about we do a side tourny like this at MLG Raleigh?

I love the character ban idea. There should be at least a side tourney with that implemented, it'd be hilarious. It would also lead to a guaranteed M2K/Mango grand finals.

I'd probably pay like, $5 for singles AND doubles *per person for me*.

There should be doubles.

I smell a plot for M2K to get the Jiggs and Peach mains not to play their character so that he can prevail.

How would you know the "randoms" main character? I mean I'm pretty sure anyone could walk into such a tourney and be like... Yeah I second Marth. Or I second Peach. There will be so much dishonesty going around.

Just replace "You can't play your main" with another character ban, so each player gets 2 character bans. "You can't play your main" can't possibly be enforced.

that's why i suggested character ban in the first place. i mean if you can beat someone's "main", but they have a secondary that gives you trouble, then you'd be able to ban that. or if you're just really bad against a certain character, then ban them everywhere you go. i think it would bring out the depth of people's true skill at the game.

btw if this tournament ever happens, i main fox, just so you all know. ;)

Oh man if I could take out Marth for any of my matches. I would be one happy fellow. I still don't like the idea of getting rid of a character that someone put their time and effort to be good with.

True, although people might lie about their mains anyways. : D Although you are right, I have only spent time on my Doc, tournament wise. I practice a bit with others just in case.

^ that's why I think either
1) ban a character at the start of a set or
2) you must change characters every game

would make for a very interesting tournament to try out sometime. I would love to have this at a national.

if you guys don't like number 1, then what about number 2?

I like number 2 with the exception that the loser has the option of staying the same char if they want.

both players having to switch kinda defeats the purpose.

edit: i would **** a disney quote tourny real talk.

There also needs to be captain falcon only tournies. Also make out tourny xD Nah, I'd lose anyways. Unless it's like teams... where the best couple wins or something... lol.

But yeah, I like banning a character, because that way it forces the opponent, and us, to use a new character in a tournament. I stick to doc like glue for tournies, no joke. I can't get off him. Why? I suck with everyone else. LOL Bout time I try a secondary.

Also, having to change a character, would probably mean we'd still fight the char we don't want to, but only once... Unless, people can still play with a char they lost with. :p that way there is still char mind games.
