So i've returned to SWF
and in "Celebration" i'm hosting a regular 16 man single elimination tournament
so let's get to the rules and stuff shall we?



Rules:
3 Stock
8 minute timer
Single elimination
sets are 2/3 except for finals those are 3/5
Items are turned off and set to None
if the timer runs out the winner is decided by Stock and Percentage
If the match is decided by a Dedede/bowser/ganon/kirby-cide the win automatically goes to the preformer of the cide. the sudden death will be ignored.
If the lag makes the match unplayable. i will decide the match with a coin toss.
You are responsible for your own controller, nametag and connection. if anything happens to interrupt the match it will count as a forfeit. unless agreed on by both players to have a rematch or coin toss.
Metaknight's infinite dimensional cape is BANNED :mad:
Stalling is NOT ALLOWED :mad:
CG's and other infinites must discontinue at 300% else it counts as stalling.

Lylat Cruise

Counterpicks:
Frigate Orpheon

Do you have a set date for this?
most OTL tournaments on smashboards don't last 1 day.

We get a week to play a match..then we play the next...etc.

if you don't play you get d/q'd or sent to loser's.

I might be out of town during this, so don't hesitate to DQ me if everyone else finishes their matches fast. I don't wanna be a burden.

The starter stage mostly gets decided by random.
striking a stage is basically banning a Starter out of play. thus out of the random stage list.

and if a player loses a match. he gets to choose the stage the next match will be played on. that's called a counterpick. banning a stage is banning a counterpick.

i hope it helped. if not tell me what you didn't get and i'll try to go indepth of that point :)

In depth look at starters and counterpicks


Starters​

the starters, or neutrals as they call it are the stages you start off for the first match. You either randomize to one of them or you stage strike, stage striking being done more in offline tournaments.

If you are playing with a 5 stage format for example, someone strikes 1 stage, then the next person strikes 2, and then the first person strikes 1 more and chooses the first stage.

For example:
Player A: I strike FD (or Final destination).
Player B: I strike SV and YI (or Smashville and Yoshi's island)
Player A: I strike PS1 (or Pokemon Stadium 1). Let's play on BF (Battlefield

Both players select battlefield and the game begins.

The starters are considered to be the most even/neutral stages (as the name, neutral stage).They are usually: FD, SV, YI, PS1 (Or Lylat Cruise/LC), and BF.

Counterpicks​

After the first round is finished if there is a ban, The winner of the round bans one of the "counterpick stages" or possibly 2 if 2 bans are allowed.
The loser picks one of the remaining stages (neutral or counterpick)
The winner announces his character
The game starts there.

Also, you can't counterpick a stage that you have already won on unlesss your opponent agrees, This is known as Dave's Stupid Rule (named after DA Dave to prevent people from picking Smashville twice as Ice Climbers).

For example, if I mained Toon Link, I would want to counterpick either Final Destination, Smashville, or Halberd, as these stages allow Toon link to Camp.

Would you consider planking as a form of stalling? Just an inquiry. i'll join either way.

if you keep doing it over and over and over. for like a minute. it's stalling yes.
Outside of MK's perfect planking when he isn't touchable how is it stalling? Why would I have to give up an advantagous position if I'm still able to be hit?

it's stalling. as in "OMYGOSH I HAS 1 MORE STOCK THAN HE DOES. I IZ GUNN PLANK TILL TAIMUR RANZ OUZ" that's stalling.if you're using it to your advantage for a reasonable amount of time. like most people do. it's fine.
thought that was common sence :D

Even with the intent of running the clock with it unless you're MK and doing his perfect planking you're still vulnerable, just less so than normal.

I don't plan to abuse it but I just can't agree that planking in general is stalling. I'll stop being a pain though :p
