Rules:

General Rules:

* 3 stock.
* 8 minutes.
* Items are turned to off and none.
* In doubles matches, team attack is on.
* All non-finals and semi-finals matches are best of three.
o Finals and semi-finals are best of five.
* Controller ports are determined by Rock-Paper-Scissors if there is a dispute.
o In team matches, these are determined in a 1221 fashion, with 1 being the team that won the RPS.
* If time runs out, the winner is determined by stock, and then by percent.
* All persons are responsible for their own control scheme and must make sure it is set before the match begins.
* Any action that prevents the game from continuing results in a forfeiture of the match for the offender.

Gameplay rules:

* Meta Knight's Infinite Dimensional Cape Glitch is banned.
* If a game ends with Bowser or Ganondorf using a Sacrificial KO (with Flying Slam or Flame Choke respectively) and the game is tied, then the Sudden Death is ignored and the Bowser or Ganondorf player is declared the winner.
* Stalling is banned.
o Stalling is defined as any action that deliberately avoids all conflict as to make the game unplayable. Running from an opponent to get to a better position is not considered stalling, but using chain grabs infinitely against a wall (excessively beyond around 300%) or using Sonic's Neutral B repeatedly underneath the stage is.

Set format:

1. Both players choose their characters for the first game. A double blind pick may be requested by either player.
2. The first stage of a match is selected either randomly or by a stage striking procedure from the neutral stages.
3. Both players may choose one counter-pick stage to be banned for the match.
4. The loser of the first game announces the stage that s/he will counter-pick.
1. Dave's Stupid Rule is in effect.
5. The winner of the previous match chooses his/her character.
6. The loser of the previous match chooses his/her character.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for successive matches.

  • Bring your own controller, i will supply controllers for smash 64 however.

I'm interested. Add me. =D

Really want to get to a smashfest and play against real people, online sucks.

(No offense ROOOOOOY, you're still good even online =))

edit

Will anyone here be travelling via S****horpe -> Grimsby -> Louth? As I live in S****horpe. I figured it'd be easier for me to travel with someone who knows the route seeing as I've never travelled alone before XD

edit

Woo the filter strikes!

Mmac, get on MSN, I'll take you through how to get around.

Also, I wouldn't be able to make 13th, but I've already talked about that to you Yen.

Will you have recording shizz up for Brawl?

If you ever get on MSN. =P

And I got no problems with the 20th. Like I said on MSN, yen, only issue is getting there / back (and I most likely will have to stay over Sunday, and I'm willing to pay for that as well since it'd probably be such a bother =/)

Does the bus from grimsby -> Louth go any further or is it a direct grimsby -> louth <- Grimsby only route? I have a tendancy to fall asleep :p

I presume that was a typo and aimed at me?

If so: I haven't played Melee in like, six months (lost the disc it seems.... will raid my Nintendobox later) but; I main Yoshi just as I do on Brawl.

Half-decent with Falco too (can do the spike pillar combo but not the SHB ><)

Will need to break the disc out and practice some L-cancelling and wavedashing again. Bah. xD


And if Mike's confirmed I don't see any reason why I can't go either. ^^
just need to talk to him to find out what day/time he's going and leaving.

Just making sure :p

I've seen some strange typos for my name. first max, and earlier someone called me Mmac. xD. weird.

Anyway, you've played me on Brawl (only online) so yeah, will be interesting to match up against you offline since we'll both be better.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to practice up in time to get good enough at Melee as I used to be. lol. I'm thinking I might try to use the smashfest as an excuse to practice with secondary characters in the time when you're not ranking us all. lol.

Just make sure you get in some good games in both melee and brawl before we start the rankings. Thats the best way to get better really, i play ALOT more melee then i do brawl, really enjoy both games tho.

never really played a yoshi in either game, so should be good!
