can someone explain to me how selecting characters works before and after matches im really confused?
Click to expand...
Before any matches are played, each opponent will select a character (They do not have to stay with that character, they can change their character before the match starts)

But it is usually best to go with your best character instead of trying to go with a character that you are decent with or who you think will "counter" your opponent's character easily.

After the first match is played. The winner of the first match will ban a stage that they think their opponent will take them to (Example: Lets say im using Snake and my opponent is using MK, I will most likely ban RC because it gives the MK user an advantage over myself, the snake player, because of MK's multiple jumps, broken moves *lol*, etc.) The loser will then choose their stage that they are going to take their opponent to and then the winner will select his character (or he can stay with his character that he would like to keep) and then the loser will choose his character and the next match will be played.

The entire set is based off of a "Best 2 out of 3" (outside of Winners, Losers and Grand Finals)

Haha thanks that makes alot more sense now. i wasnt sure if u could counter pick on the first character or not, it seems someone could be really gay and counterpick the whole time

Ha ya..If you are aware of your opponents best character, you can strike a stage that will be in your favor for your character against your opponents character (no stage will really give you that big of an advantage during the first match, but its still good to know which stages will fit you best against a certain character).

As for the seven neutrals in this tourney, most people will get rid of FD against me first, due to my character being somewhat campy. So its good to be comfortable with all of the possible neutrals that you can be playing on. Winning the first match is REALLY important.

Yeah haha this is not entirely right.

You cannot "change your character" before the match starts in the sense that you cannot just counter their character. The other person can just ask for a double blind and character will be chosen and cannot be reversed until after the first match.

I probably should have made this clearer BUT. Lets say im moving my cursor over to my main and I accidently select a character that I was not intending on using, what then? I was implying that you can change your character after stages are striked.

What rich was referring to earlier is that each opponent will choose the character that they will start with without their opponents knowing and I "think" that they have to tell a TO/Judge at the tourney.

I have never had to do this but it is there for a reason

Yeah Double Blind is each person tells the TO/Judge who they are picking, to avoid counterpicking gays.

I've only been subject to one, and Metal did it at Aerial Rave Major 2. It's helpful.

Italianman, you coming to this?

Also every one, I have been thinking INCREDIBLY hard about the documentary, and have a few ideas, I just need you guys to help.

I need to know which people I should interview (Which will probably be done during the break/after the tourney is over and friendlies are going on.) Everyone wishing to be in the video, I please STRONGLY ask for your cooperation. (If I ask you to come over so I can ask you some questions, please don't tell me "Hold on a minute." a million times. I have a lot of stuff I need to get recorded, I can't afford to waste time.

Also in the beginning when I do my speech, all I ask is if you pay attention for a measly 5 to 7 minutes. Your friendlies/warm ups can wait a minute, I just want to announce everything to EVERYONE at once so there is less likelihood of confusion.

No, you cannot change character after stages are struck. Characters are chosen, either by agreement or double blind, then that is in stone once you move to striking. Stages are struck, and then match is played without the ability to change characters.

^Sigh. I never said this

Unless my opponent has something up there ***, there gonna let me choose the character that they know im going to use (Most people know that I will go toon link 100% of the time)

EDIT: I meant to say "before" instead of "after". Now I see the confusion.
@FAE: AIB is your best bet

lol Future isn't a prick, he's just playing the IC's like they are meant to be played.


The people you saw were me, Metal, Nicole, and Future, lol.

If you play Future and he chain grabs you, don't get mad about it, it's your fault for getting grabbed, that's normal in competitive play.

Just don't get grabbed.

If you play offensively, then yeah it's hard not to get grabbed.

If you play Defensively and stay away from him, not getting grabbed isn't that hard.

But I won't tell you how to play, it's not my place.

If you want to fight an IC's correctly on the other hand, yeah, stay away from them.
