Dave's Stupid Rule Variations

[person701]

So I've heard at least three different versions of DSR.

1.) The same stage may not be played on twice in the same set.
2.) A player may not pick the same stage they won on that was played earlier in the set.
3.) A stage may not be picked twice in a row but mat be used if it wasn't used previously.

Does this rule just keep changing or do we just not have a solid "line" for it to follow? I've also noticed that recently people keep forgetting to add, "The same stage may not be played on if it has just been played on."

It's usually "A player may not pick the same stage in the set if they've won on it. Ignore this rule if both players agree to play on said stage."

 

[victra♥]

Yeah, what I.B said. That's usually how it goes, at least to my understanding.

what i've heard is can't cp the stage they last won on. which makes the most sense considering it covers everything for Bo3's, but for finals it allows a repeat if set goes on that long.

IB nailed it. end of topic.

 

[AlphaZealot]

Actually IB missed it.

darkatma actually nailed the REAL original, DSR. The wording is "last" won on. So you can CP in best of 5 but not in best of 3.

Modified DSR was: you may not play any stage twice.
This was enacted in the MLG ruleset and everyone then confused it with the original DSR.

 

[I.B]

oops, I missed

AZ showing us all whats up.

okay, well I can tell you guys right now that we're using IB's for the new MBR rule set, which will probably be posted this weekend.

 

[AlphaZealot]

Frankly I don't even think you need to call it DSR anymore. Just have the rule read
-You may not select a stage that you have previously won on.

BAM! Done.

 

[2001]

But dave is legendary for his stupid rule.

 

[AlphaZealot]

Yea, except nobody actually follows his actual stupid rule. They make their own one up that is similar than then tag "DSR" next to it.

Essentially the definition of his rule has been butchered for the past 5 years so much that its lost near all meaning.

 

[2001]

None the less the new accepted rule is based off of DSR.

Just trying to give dave some credit for his idea.

New ruleset! I'm overjoyed that the MBR has returned!

 

[person701]

No wonder I was always confused over DSR. -_-; Though the recommended SBR rulesets did say that that they were to be used as guidelines.

 

[Scamp]

BAM! Done.

You forgot to add "unless both players agree".


While the definition of the rule has been butchered over the years the meaning has actually been preserved fairly well.

Besides, as 2001 has mentioned, it's a part of Smash lore. It'd be a shame to lose it.

 

[AlphaZealot]

That was assumed.

change the name and die!

Dav3 stupid rule will always be, dav3s stupid rule.

The rule is u can not play on the same stage u have won on, twice in a set. Like everything else in melee things evolve. It has now evolved to u cant play the same stage @ all 2wice in a set. But with the stages being limited to neutrals its pretty hard to retain this rule. It should be u cant play a counter stage twice in a set now.

Yes i had to post something because Alphazelot disrespected, i thought u loved me!

***5 STARS FOR POSTING THIS AND I HAVENT POSTED IN YEARS***
