Well everyone I'm planning on hosting a non-luigi ditto tournament for this board, and I'm gonna look for some people who would like to help me plan this out, rules, watching scores, set-up. If anyone would like to help me please post on these boards and by possibly next wednesday or mondy (hopefully we will have a decent group of "supervisors" by then, i dont know the word)

Current Plans

Matches will be open, so you can play whoever you want as long as they are registered in the tournament and those players can only play each other once every 2 matches.

Items will be off, 3 stock, 7 minute time limit, and all stages are allowed so long as both participants agree on what stages to ban or not ban

If a player drops out, it will be a minor points deduction on his part, but the opponent gets no points.

Participants must have luigi as one of their characters, and are allowed one alternate character, but must use one character for the entire set, and inform everyone that he was using an alt (via wifi name or boards post)

Remember everyone, I am not hosting this tournament so we can see who the best player on these boards are, or what-not. Rather, I would consider it as a learning experience, not a contest. We are encouraging the higher ranking players in the tournament to help out the lower ranked players or players that ask for help, give advice, hints, strategies, criticism (as long as this stays within peaceful boundaries) so that we as a group can better ourselves in both skill and relationship.

Tournament Dates/Times: TBA, planning to start mid-late Feb and last 1-2 weeks

Supervisors
crewster
I encourage any board member who is willing to dedicate their time to this, is impartial, and willing to help out in this effort.
supervisors will help out planning, watch scores and notify me if i miss any (cuz im 99% sure i will miss some) and to help settle any issues that come about during the tourney.

Thanks for your time, please post criticism (no mean stuff please), volunteer, ideas, etc. I want this thread to only be used as a preparation for the (hopefully) upcoming board tourney, and yes it will be wifi unless some of you in the tourney are near each other and are able to play face to face, but let the supervisors know. And I also encourage that those with capture cards or video cameras record matches so that we have data to work off of and analyze for possible finds and critique, along with being able to watch some good matches.

What do you say everyone? *flame shield*

Also, a few edits to the rules, I would say, is that 8 mins and also the stages I disagree on.
Starter

Final Destination
Smashville
Yoshi's Island
Pokémon Stadium 1
Lylat Cruise

Counter
any of the starting stages
Castle Siege
Delfino
Halberd
Brinstar
Corneria
Distant Planet
Frigate Orpheon
Green Hill Zone
Jungle Japes
Luigi's Mansion
Norfair
Pictochat
Pirate Ship
Pokémon Stadium 2
Rainbow Cruise
Yoshi's Island (Pipes)

First to 3. Start with any starter (whichever gets picked) and then the loser gets to cose the counter.

Ok Crewster i'll put you on supervisor list

but ewwwwww at Luigi's Mansion being counter, I would ban that stage in fear of diddy and stuff.

and to the counter picking stuff, I don't think it will work out because wifi stages are randomly chosen between the two character choices, 50:50, so maybe I'm thinking of having the starter stages on random select for both players, then just selections after that.

I'll wait for some other ideas/agreement from supervisors before I finalize plans, I don't want people mad at the rules or anything.

Just destroy the mansion when Diddy comes over, it's Luigi turf! Then you can fight on plain land, or destroy part so it doesn't rebuild and you can camp there.

or (if you're me) fail at life trying to reach the pillars of his mansion while you trip and die several times a second due to diddy's banana's and combos out of bananas. but once you break it then its pretty easy, nice music too (TETRIS A)

Locuan Edit:

Counter picks and reasons:

Pokémon Stadium 1- Not really a neutral, to much random effects going around in the stage.
Lylat Cruise- due to its movement effects and some characters getting easily stuck under the stage it would be more reasonable as a counter pick.



REMOVED AND REASONS:

Green Hill Zone- lol d3 chain grab anyone?
Luigi's Mansion- Lol play MK here...
Corneria- D3 wall infinite anyone?
Pirate Ship- I just don't like this level :laugh:
Yoshi's Island (Pipes)- another walk off stage... chaingrabs anyone???!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

These are all suggestions you should take into consideration.

lol @ pirate ship, and seeing as how most of the reasons are for DDD and MK i could just ban them

how do i lock/delete my own thread seeing as how registrations for the actual tourney have begun? or do i just have to beg on my knees to a mod ( begging on my knees with my face on the floor for panda :p) to get this locked/deleted?
