If you make it all the way to the finals, it's your choice. I think that's fair.

@ Red Peppers:

Regarding the "teams", most of the characters paired have very different playstyles too thus helping with the balance. For example, Zelda and Olimar are almost nothing alike aside from being at their best when their on the defensive side and if you can come up with more than two similarities between Metaknight and Captain Falcon, I'll give you a dollar.

This is one of the best ideas for a tourney i've ever seen! I'll join for sure, but I think I have another tourney that same weekend. I'll be busy, but I'll be able to make it.

I'll be using Marth and Samus :)

This is awesome actually, because the Top Tier mains get screwed over because they have to use complexed characters that takes months to do even decently against.

If they win, I'll just destroy their crappy Link/Yoshi/Sonic/Ganondorf/Jigglypuff/Falcon

I rather have Marth and Yoshi though :(

It'd be awesome if I faced Hero Fly Chao, first match, my PT vs. his Wario, next match would be a ditto, and if there's a 3rd match our mains are reversed!

Epic.

Can I join? I'll try and make it on time. Using Samus again, of course.
No, you can't join. The fact that you missed Geno Bash is inexcusable and I now consider you sub human... :psycho: So you want to use Samus? Samus's "opposite" is Marth. Do you want Samus to fight first or Marth? You have to win with both characters in order to advance.

Samus first, Marth second.

Actually, it takes place on Saturday and Sunday, the 27th-28th, respectively. The first round unoffically begins next Sunday so people who want to get their first match over with early can before the deadline on Saturday at 4PM Central.

I just feel all tingly seeing my name in a signature =P

I struggle the least against Ganny, so I might dethrone the champ.

Everyone says that, until they face me. (lol, I sounded like a stuck up prick)
Haha, its true, i thought the same, especially when i dominated your first stock during our first match, it didn't take long for me to change my mind though, im just guessing you hadn't played any yoshis before XD

Man, the "opposites" of my two mains are both characters that I'm not that great with, heh. (Although I suppose that's the point.) The funny thing is, they're both WAY higher tier than my two mains.

I'm in, and I'll use Pokemon Trainer/Wario for now.

(Not sure why intentionally SDing would be banned, though. Mind clarifying?)

Because I see it as a form of quitting. Purposely SDing is only allowed if 1. you take your opponent with you with a "kamikaze attack" like with Ganondorf's flame choke, King Dedede's inhale or Wario's chomp (definately the hardest of the three to land) or 2. if you take down your opponent with another method but fail to recover. If you mess up pulling off these moves, you're still in the clear but purposely killing yourself if your opponent is 2 stocking you to force the match to end, for example, is bull and shouldn't be tolerated.

Add in: I added two important updates in the Character section. Be sure to check them out.

They can move, they can shield, and they're both in Brawl.

I can has dollar plz?
*throws a pie*

Besides the basics. :psycho: They're both male too but I'm afraid to ask how you'd figure that out with Metaknight...

@ Yoshi King:

I changed your "team" to Lucas/Diddy Kong, just like you asked. It's a great team combo so be sure to represent it well.

@ Rockin':

You definately have the element of underestimation on your side. Can you handle Captain Falcon's craptastic-ness?

**** right. I'm pretty fortunate to play a character I play just as much as my other secondaries. He's pretty good, just not many know how good he is. Me and my friend play with him sometimes (he's obviously a better Captain Falcon then me lol)

Don't worry, I'll make sure to handle Captain Falcon effectivly :p

I was thinking more along the lines of if your opponent fails to recover or otherwise dies through no fault of their own or action on your part (for instance, the lag forces your opponent to accidentally up B into the ledge on Final Destination or Ness' PK Thunder gets blocked by a Shy Guy on Yoshi's Island), and you intentionally kill yourself too in order to make it fair. Not to imply that you HAVE to or are compelled to in any way, but just if you wanted to do it out of good sportsmanship.

By competitive smashing standards, if your opponent accidently dies, you take full advantage of the situation. Doing what you mentioned is fine in friendlies but it is far from the norm in competitive gaming as a whole. Sure, you can kill yourself in that situation if you want to but review rules 7, 8, and 9 if it comes back to bite you in the butt and cause you to lose the match.

Regarding lag, it will be dealt with accordingly. Unless the amount of lag is absolutely crippling, you are expected to play through it. Play at your own risk.

In competitive smashing, good sportmenship is defined as not "sandbagging" (AKA going easy on someone) and doing what your opponent would do to you in your situation. If chain grabbing your opponent to death with the Ice Climbers/King Dedede is your way to victory, do it. If your character has a grab release that completely ***** your opponent's character, do it. If winning involves spamming like a ****** and playing hit and run games, do it. In the end, it's best to assume that your opponent would do the same unless you know them on a personal level.

My brother wants to join, if that's alright. We share the same Wii, so FC is the same.

His tag name is Krato, and he's going to use Zelda/Olimar as his team. :)

And Rockin', I felt way unoriginal just underneath Yaya with the same team. XD

Two questions:

1. Does he want to go by GF?

2. I know he mains Snake but is that who he wants to use?
