Dave's Modified Stupid Rule: No stage may be used twice in a single set

stages to be chosen at the beginning of the set.

Stage Banning: Each player may choose to eliminate 1 of the stages available for counterpicking.

Advanced Slob Picks: Loser may choose the next stage or elect to go
random, then winner may choose to change characters, then loser may
change characters.

Double blind for character selection may be used if a player wants to.

-> Other Rules & Special Issues

Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc),
except for cosmetic changes (paint job, different colored plastic), are
banned. If you are caught using a banned controller you will be
disqualified from the tournament.

Turbo or programmed buttons of any kind are banned. You may use
third party controllers or pads that have these features, but if you
are suspected of using the banned features you will not be allowed to
use that controller any longer.

Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character
or indefinitely freezing them, or any glitch or trick that freezes the match
or makes it in any way unfinishable are banned. Using them will result in the
immediate forfeit of the match.

Tactics such as Jiggly's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or
to manuever around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively
stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath,
is banned. Judges will be on the tournament floor can be called in at any time to
enforce this rule during a match.

You are responsible to bring your own controller. Any controller is suitable
for this tournament (wii mote/nun chuck/classic), just make sure people around
you are not also syncing at the same time as you.

=================================================

So, post if you or your crew mates can make it! We'll be needing setups (just wii/game) with all characters/stages/random stage select unlocked. Please also mark your Wii to distinguish it from everyone else's.

Please take note of the rules, this time only 1 counterpick stage is allowed to be banned. I figured there aren't that many counterpick stages for the 2 rules to work well, and banning 2 from my list is a bit too much? Discussion is open though.

So leaving 8 is too much?

Why is 7 better than 8?

I just feel being allowed to ban 2 stages on top of already striking a random is too much.

And apparently you didn't understand the reason I changed your quote >_<

I don't see a reason why this is the same date of what looks like a big tourney that you even expressed interest in earlier. There is no reason from what I can see why this date is chosen so you are just making people choose. Don't make a ***** move please. Just change the date so everyone can be happy (except maybe you and a few others).

and I'd rather not get depressed by Melee, if people wanna go to GA then fine, we'd only be missing 2 of Maine + milktea since she's on Maine's nuts at this event.

It wouldn't matter either way.

just come to the next one if you're going to GA? what's the big deal?

When're we doing a melee one? I might go. GA sounds promising... if I didn't have school.

Im definitly going...again...and i WILL get better then 25th this time ;)
Why do you talk soooo much trash? Even when I played you in person...you still talked trash. You have probably one of the best Olimars i've seen...but seriously, stop.


And yes Cort, I got it. You were pointing out that I should not talk because Meta Knight is at the same level or better than Snake? I beg to differ. At least meta knight is weak, small amount of KO moves, gets knocked easily, does not dash cancel u smash, semi infinite recovery with the C4, and you can break through his tilts.

Snake is easily the most broken character in Brawl...without a doubt. At least when you use Meta Knight there is actual good strategy as opposed to Snake...you MOVE AROUND and ATTACK with Meta Knight.

Breakdown of Snakes offense (I mean, defense.)

Walk around.....shield......f tilt, u tilt or d tilt

when opponent goes off the stage dash cancel...hold it....release....wait for reaction....and either b air or wait for another tilt....f smash if your feeling daring.

caught in a jab such as falco, shiek, kirby, or meta knight? backoff and make sure you tilt.

Jab comboing in place of a f tilt also works because its faster with about the same priority.
