So Justin Lew (Nick Riddle) and I (8Bitman) have decided to DuoHost MK-Banned (Yes, no more MK) Brawl tournaments, Monthly, at a fancy new Arcade that opened up literally inbetween our houses called Versus Gaming Center. With the addition of Project M side events to advertise the game and bulk up the community for the adolescent masterpiece.
We believe Brawl has ignored the main problem with the Metagame far too long. Hopefully running these events will eventually attract a larger crowd (Imagine a MK-Banned APEX, farfetched, or just around the corner). I believe everyone here in Florida will enjoy the absence of the Tyrant as well. Afterall, I only ever hear complaints, now everyone will have a much more balanced and fair chance at the amazing game that is Brawl. Please support the cause to bring back a larger Brawl scene, come out, prove your worth, win.
I will not sit here and let the game that has absorbed the last 6 years of my life die.
Schedule:
~ 12:00 PM: Venue Opens
~ 1:00 PM: Brawl Doubles begins
~ One hour after Brawl Doubles Ends: Brawl Singles and PM Singles will begin
Door-Fee: $5
Brawl Singles: $10
Brawl Doubles: $10 Per Teammate ($20 Total)
PM Singles: $5
Now for the modified Ruleset:
SUPER SMASH BROTHERS BRAWL
General Rules
~ 3 Stocks
~ 8 Minute Time Limit
~ Items set to “Off” and “None”
~ Pause set to “Off”
~ Meta Knight is banned
~ You are given 2 Stage Bans
~ All infinites and chain grabs are legal.
~ There is a Ledge Grab Limit of 50 for all characters (Meaning you can get 50 or less, 51 or more and you are breaking the rule). If a game goes to time and one player goes over the Ledge Grab Limit for their character, they will automatically lose the game. If both players exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then this rule is ignored.
~ The act of stalling is banned: stalling is intentionally making the game unplayable: Such as becoming invisible, continuing infinites, chain grabs, or uninterrupted moves past 300%, and reaching a position that your opponent can never reach you.
~ 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 Ledge Grab Limit does not declare one player the winner, the winner will be declared by what the game says in all situations, except for when players are presented with sudden death:
In the event of a match going to time, the winner will be determined by who has less percent (stock difference still takes priority but will be shown in the results screen).
If the match ends with both players dying at the same time coincidentally, or if time ran out with both players at equal percent, a one stock three minute rematch will be played on the same stage. For a tie-breaker match, a Ledge Grab Limit of 15 is used for all characters.
If a match is ended via suicide move, the initiator of the move wins.
~ Any coaching that happens during the match (but not in between matches) is restricted. 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
Doubles Rules
~ Team Attack set to “On”
~ MetaKnight is banned
~ Life stealing is allowed
~ In the event of a game reaching the time limit, if a single player on a team exceeds their Ledge Grab Limit, that team loses. If one or more players on both teams exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then the Ledge Grab Limit rule is ignored.
In the event of a game going to time and the Ledge Grab Limit can not determine a winner and both teams have an equal amount of combined stocks, then whichever team has a lower combined percent is declared the winner.
~ If a player is using the character Pokemon Trainer, Lucario, or Sonic, either team may request that team colors be changed to make it easier to tell the difference between team players.
Set Procedure
Player Priority is determined if it can not be agreed on. (See below for details)
Each Team selects one controller port to use for each Player.
Each Team selects one character for each Player. A double blind pick may be called by any player.
The first game is played on a Stage selected from the Starter Stage List either by mutual consent or through the Stage Striking Method. The order of stage striking will be 1-2-1 (Team 1 strikes one stage, followed by Team 2 striking two stages, with Team 1 then striking one of the two remaining stages).
The first match is played.
The team that lost the previous match may opt to re-pick controller ports (with themselves picking first).
The Team that won the previous match may announce two “Stage Bans” if they have not already done so in this set.
The Team that lost the previous match announces the stage for the next match from either the Starter or the Counter-pick Stage List. Any Stage named as a “Stage Ban” by the either Team may not be selected. No Stage may be used by a Team that has already won on that Stage in this set.
The Team that won the previous match chooses one character for each Player.
The Team that lost the previous match chooses one character for each Player.
The next match is played.
Repeat steps 6-11 for all proceeding matches.
Determining Player Priority
If there is a dispute in controller port selection or initiating Stage Strike use the following method:
Teams will use a random method such as Rock-Paper-Scissors, Coin Flip, or Game and Watch Judgment, where the winner selects either first choice in port selection or first choice in stage striking. Whichever team does not receive first choice in port selection will be compensated with first choice in stage striking.
Note: In Doubles, port selection is ordered 1-2-2-1 fashion (with Team-1 having first choice in controller slot select, Team-2 having both second and third choice, and the final slot going to Team-1).
Hazardless Stage List
Starters
Battlefield
Final Destination
Lylat Cruise
Smashville
Yoshi’s Island (Brawl)
Counterpicks
Pokemon Stadium 1
Pokemon Stadium 2
Rainbow Cruise
Frigate Orpheon
Delfino Plaza
Castle Siege
Conduct Rules
DSR: A player/team may not counter-pick to the stage they have won on in the current set.
Gentleman’s Clause: Any stage may be played on if both players agree to it. The use of Metaknight may also be agreed upon. This rule takes priority over DSR
No scrooging (player may travel under the stage only once from the ledge)
“Traveling under the stage once from the ledge” is defined as dropping off the ledge on one side of the stage and reaching the height of the original ledge on the other side of the stage.
When one of the players is attacked by the other and takes damage, the “no scrooging” rule does not apply.
The moving platform on Smashville or any platform that is not the main stage (Battlefield platforms, Castle Siege platforms, etc.) are considered to be equivalent to a ledge, i.e. if a player starts from the moving platform on one side of the stage and travels beneath the stage to the ledge/platform on the opposite side of the stage, the player may not travel beneath the stage back to the ledge/moving platform on the opposite side before until he lands back on the platform.
If a player is found to be performing the act of scrooging by a tournament organizer (by his/her discretion), the player will forfeit that match.
In the event pause is left on accidentally and is pressed, immediately call over the TO. Based upon their judgment, the situation will be resolved. If your situation is neutral [players are not in combat], the match will be resumed as if the pause had not occurred. If your situation is advantageous to one individual and the player in the disadvantageous situation paused, the disadvantaged player will be either placed in a grab or onto the ledge of the stage. If a player in a death situation [Chain grabs, Grab releases, Jab-locks to a kill move, etc] paused while in a death situation, the current stock is forfeited immediately. If you unpause before the TO reaches the station, the player that unpaused losses a stock.
Players who use the Wii Remote must take the batteries out of the Wii Remote when not playing. If the Wii Remote is still synced up to a Wii with the batteries in, you could unintentionally disrupt a match. If problems persist, a DQ may happen.
You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility (including battery issues with a Wii Remote), so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you’re using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. Both parties need to agree if a match is to be paused or restarted because of these problems.
The tournament organizer has the right to save/record any tournament match if possible and has the right to upload said match.
Any hacks, including (but not limited to) textures, music, and model changes are not allowed unless approved by tournament organizer.
