Match procedure is as follows:

2. After game 1, the winner selects character
3. The loser selects character. The loser may also counterpick ports.
4. The winner bans one stage.
5. The stage is selected by the loser.
6. Sets outside of finals (WF, LF, GF) are best of 3, finals are best of 5 (at the TO’s discretion).
In the result of a time out, the match is decided by stock count, then by percentage.
If percentages are tied, a 3 minute, 1 stock tie-breaker is played on the same stage.
If sudden death is reach in another way, a 3 minute, 1 stock tie-breaker is played on the same stage.
If a suicide move (Ganoncide or Swallowcide) is performed and sudden death is reached, the initiator of
the move is the winner
In the event that the game crashes or the TV/Wii loses power in the middle of a match, that match will be restarted from the beginning with the same characters and stage.
If a glitch is used to initiate this intentionally, the initiator of the glitch will lose the set and may be DQ’d at the discretion of the TO.
Any rule may be overrided by the Gentleman’s clause, I.e. If both players consent to the override (within TO's discretion).

Is this tournament friendly to newer players? My friend and I recently started to play a lot of smash and we wanted to start playing in tournaments, even if we get destroyed.

Yes it is! Everyone is welcome. The northern Michigan scene isn't super good but we are always looking for more players. Bring all your friends you will meet some nice people who will help you get better.

Totally, as Krt said we aren't the best scene, if you have questions we would be happy to answer. It is round robin pools so you get a few more tournament matches than a double elimination bracket. While the other events are going down, I am sure you could find someone to play friendlies with, imo the best way to improve is to attend tournaments.

Edit: Also here is our facebook page if interested, this is where we talk about upcoming tournaments and such. https://www.facebook.com/groups/259553334245953/

Either falcon or marth. Which is most similar to their melee counterpart? Those were my melee mains back in the day.

Melee Marth transfer over well, there are some Brawl techs that were added to his arsenal but aren't essential. Cpt. Falcon is much better than his Melee counterpart though, I am on discord right now if you want to discuss it. I never looked into playing Falcon, just how to play against him, lol. ICs basically act different in neutral for basically every character, especially in PM.

If I'm not working, I'll be bringing a few people from Alpena. What kind of turnout was there for the last one?

Small turnout last time, the venue said they had a lot of people interested last time but didn't know if it was an open event and I told them it was. So they are advertising this time around, looking at around 20 or more.

That is a long ways! On the facebook page there are 17 confirmed rn. Doubt they all will enter every game. Smash 4 usually has most turnout.

I should be able to attend the entire smash 4 tourny, the thing I had to leave early for was pushed back :)

Expecting like 20-25 and that is spread across a few games. Also PM is 3.6. I would love for you to come, but I feel like you could find a better and closer tournament on the same day, depending on what game you want to play.

Project m is the main game I would like to play. Have barely played melee and only played smash 4 a couple times. Just wanting to learn and practice!

Well if you are decided on this tournament, if you use GPS to get here (specifically Google Maps) it is in the wrong spot, put in the venue name, Geniehobbies or the address of 133 W Main Street, Gaylord, instead of 137 W Main Street, 137 W Main Street in Google Maps is in the wrong spot. 133 W Main Street is Saturn Booksellers which is next door to the venue. Parking is in the back. I can take a picture of the door and if you ever have questions you can ask on our Facebook group and event page on Facebook. Would hate for you to get lost, lol. Message me if you some how do have trouble finding it this Saturday. :p

It was a great time! Smash 4 had 21 entrants, and Melee was also pretty large too. I can't wait for KRT/PwnCall to upload those videos he recorded of Smash 4 Top 8 ^_^ But yeah, it was a really good time. We said the next one's gonna be around April 9th, correct?
