Could you have different formats for both tournaments to keep things fresh?

Bigger event = normal bracket
house event = Run a ladder (swiss / round robin), run one every two weeks and have small entry fees with the 4th event as a final, voila.

I'll be amused if you guys don't have all the stages/characters unlocked.

I am going to show up and I will have a great time but I need to transition first from 3ds to wii u before I throw money. I honestly just want to soak in the game while I can before all the salt comes in.

At the same time I don't want to discourage anyone from entering, I wish everyone good luck :]

So it shouldn't count for the PR right?
I'd leave that up to you guys. If yall want it to, I will. If not, I wont.

If you do want it, I could count the event as a "low" point event and it wouldn't hurt/help people ranking almost at all BUT it would allow people who are one event short of being on the PR print out.

I honestly don't know who came up with that idea for a tournament after people will literally be playing the game since midnight. I live here, but I'm not attending.

*hosts a tournament*

*doesn't show up for own tournament*

Uh..

I came up with it, sync approved. There is nothing wrong with this.

If you don't wanna enter, don't. I assume thurs-sunday is gonna be one massive mega smash fest anyway with unlocking stuff and wifi. So we can all still "chill" or "have fun"

Third party! I think with Amazon it was 20 dollars or so.
Meanwhile, I'll be getting 120 mb/sec ;)

This can never happen ever in the rest of existence.

Hence this should NOT count for the PR. It's mainly for enjoying the new game and smash fest and unlocking. Don't count it.

How exactly does this new PR thing work where people are begging for tournaments not to be counted?

In Zac's system, being good players got you more points so it didn't matter if you were tearing it up at small or large tournaments with no talent. However, stacked tournaments of any size were worth it.

Is this new system prioritizing something other than the skill of the players you beat?

lmfao at people freaking out and pooping their diapers over a $5 twenty mcnuggets "for fun" house tournament. why are y'all taking it so seriously? swiss sounded super fun and we'll all be at one place for once. it's the same game + gamecube controller. you've been playing it for over a month now and the tournament is like sixteen hours after launch. idk lol this unwritten moral smash code is kinda hilarious, think some of y'all 3DS frauds is scared u gonna get bopped

Patch is out btw. Here we goooooooooooooo...

From the list of supposed changes so far, it looks like the "top tiers" got hit with some nerfs and the "bottom tiers" got a few buffs. I wish I could test stuff...

I tested it out. I didn't see much difference with Diddy yet with the matches I did in For Glory.

It's very likely they went by what Japanese players thought was "broken," so Diddy is probably safe unless they adjusted damage output. I guess Diddy is perfectly balanced...*coughliescough*

But in all seriousness, some character got some questionable changes, assuming they are all true.

Falco has much more lag of his fair now but lasers/Dair seem faster

The Shulk thing seems untrue. When I played the Wii U version, people went Shulk multiple times and Arte activation seemed the same. Some people are giving wrong information because they don't know what they are talking about...AS USUAL.

All the info is on the OP. It's not the ELO based system we used in brawl
