On 3DS, I feel like it'll matter since the movement options are very primitive.

On Wii U, that ****'s not gonna matter... At all.

Finally made it back home all, iirc some of you are pooling it up to Tipped Off 5, but what about those October 3DS launch tournaments. Are those still happening all over or are we deciding on one location? I may be able to do the one on Friday and will figure out if I have drill on the first weekend after my briefing on Tuesday.

So is alabama going to ban custom moves/ equipment based on whether the nation does, or make an insulated choice??

If everyone keeps copy pasting melee rulesets and banning everything new about smash four then I'd probably just rather ignore smash 4 and play PM/melee, really..

as far as i can tell custom moves are not ban worthy but the problem is having a tournament where all setups have all custom moves unlocked. there's like a million characters, it may be more trouble than it's worth
the only thing that needs to banned outright is things that are random, everythign else is fair game. but if you can't even run your tournament properly because it takes forever to unlock everything, you may have to put your foot down

There's uncertainty about whether you can upload unlockables from DSes or if they will be easier to unlock completely in the Wii U version. But some people want to ban the stuff just because it adds variety, even if there's no administration issues

I don't think anyone I know is opposed to trying to legalize custom movesets. From a balance perspective it seem like Smash 4 is going to have a lot bigger problems than the custom moves.

T1J is right, the biggest concern when it comes to that stuff is going to be unlocking the moves. Because I spent a couple hours boring myself to death playing through Smash 4 single player and only unlocked half of G&W's custom moveset. I can't imagine myself wanting to go through that for every character. Hopefully there will be some simpler work around when the game comes out.

Pardon me for being frank, but I think that's a pretty bullish statement to come out and claim you won't play the game if we decide on a conservative ruleset, especially when no one here has even implied that. I the AL TO's facebook group I think most of us nodded in agreement that we should open up with a liberal and unrestrictive ruleset because it's the nature of the game to slowly become conservative as time progresses.

KK, I'll give a shot at as many Launch events as I can if I end up not having drill that weekend.
Villager kicks my ass and makes me feel bad

I don't see why me playing PM over smash 4 would be so horrible. I'm unlikely to play both.
no, you're right there nothing specifically wrong with choosing not to play smash 4, but the way you positioned yourself was in opposition to a rule set that doesn't exist, made by some committee that is in no way exclusive. If anybody has an opinion on the developing rules for smash 4 then i think we should discuss it together, in a constructive way, instead of holding decision makers hostage.

So does anyone think the pivots are gonna be part of the meta or just situational?
As someone playing with Mega Man in the demo and seeing a lot of the excellent tilt/Smash options available to the cast, you can bet it's going to be a big deal.

Well I'm glad to see such a huge Alabama following. I've been overseas/out of state for the past 10yrs while in the military so I was playing melee and such in Korea and Japan while there but never at a level worth bragging about. Just moved back to Birmingham. I'll def look into some tourney's after a little practice and once I get settled here.

A little announcement: HASL is having a 3DS smashfest the night of October 3 in Huntsville. https://www.facebook.com/events/799157830107372

And... our 3DS release tournament will be on Oct 6 (more details coming soon).

Also, did the HASL group ever make a results thread for the NO HASL tournament?
Cam posted these results, but they're stuck in the moderation queue? I'm not really sure how to get them unstuck.

There are 300+ tournaments in the queue. I think you just have to wait it out.

I'm not sure what it really means for them to be "finalized" anyway. For all practical purposes that's the results and everyone can see them. I make a results thread for every HP and I think it's a pretty important thing to keep up with. There is no discussion thread for a rankings.
