What about allowing smash balls? That seems like a big part of the game that was added to add more depth to smash!
Heh, I wish I could say leave them on, but I can't. I just recently got done playing the game with all items and Smash Balls, and I wanna elaborate on that just a bit.
How very in depth.
Initially I was going to go alone because I didn't want to impose on the guy that was offering to let me play. At first he told me it was cool to bring another person with me, and I was of course going to pick Alpha (my best friend and all ya know?). Later, the guy said it was cool to bring another one, and Gerard was the first person I thought about that I knew for sure could go lol. So those were the two I picked, but I didn't want to advertise we were going before we actually left, because you wern't the only one who wanted to come along lol. (Dogy had asked me too).@Those who went to play Brawl in Atlanta:
WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS CALL ME?!?! GERBIL?! ALPHA?!
Gerard came to me and told me how awesome Brawl was...And nobody called me to come play.
*Sad face*
Ok smash balls are banned! I thought it was a cool addition to smash, but I guess you guy's know better than me. Thats why I asked before I allowed them. So post the rules one more time so I can copy/paste them.How very in depth.
No, smash balls are broken and shouldn't be in the tournament, Larry. They're a senseless aspect of the game that was added purely for entertainment value. Items were taken out in melee to reduce randomness, Smash Balls definitely add to it. While fun items, they are still, indeed, items.
I copied and pasted the general rules from G4S5, and modified them for Brawl. You can copy and paste this in there and edit it to your liking.
Also, one thing that should be noted. It may not be possible that everything is unlocked by the time of this tournament, so unless someone has a full game unlock and can transer data to the other Wiis, you may have to slightly adjust the stage list. (The players should be able to deal with it fine on their own, but I figured it should be pointed out).
@Marty - I switched Green Greens to Banned just for you.

Tournament staff may randomly inspect any controller at their discretion. If you are caught using a banned controller you will be immediately disqualified from the tournament.

After the stage has been selected, the winner of the previous game may change characters. After the winner has chosen their character, the loser of the previous game may change characters.
compared to the 15-18 minutes per match up. The only reason i'm asking is because we do have people playing in multiple games at FRXI and that seems like it would take forever to complete with over 60 people entered in ssbb. We will have a smash room and people will have to run back and forth to the other ballrooms to compete in the other games.
I have a few things I want to adjust to the rules, but let me run it by you 1st.
1st-the 8 minute per match time limit seems a little long. Wouldn't 5 or 6 minutes at the most be enough time to kill someone? That's a possible 24 minutes to complete one match up!
I don't want anyone getting DQ'ed in any tournament because they are missing for 24 minutes. As organizers we have to keep the tournament moving at a fast pace so everything runs smoothly! The main problem at any tournament is finding the people to play their matches. I don't want anyone with a sour taste in their mouths if they got DQ'ed by mistake because they was playing in another tournament. Also you guy's wanted to throw a team tournament after the singles! Also staling should be banned! I didn't see that in the rules, but I know that's a general smash rule that most people know. This will not be pool play. This will be a double elim bracket best 2/3 match. So what do you think about my changes before I post the official rules up?
Thank you for your support of Final Round. Your badge will be waiting for you! When do you plan on getting to the hotel? I want to finish setting up the smash room around 8-9am on sunday. If you can get there on sunday around 8am that would be cool. I'll prolly be wondering around the hotel getting stuff ready for sunday's events. Maybe eat some breakfast.im bringing a setup
setup= tv, wii, 2 controllers, ssbb.
Ok cool, i'll update the rules right now sir!Yeah your changes are good to go. I forgot about the time to be honest. 8 minutes was always just the maximum, though most games finished in 4 during Melee play.
As for the stalling..... I am just now noticing that's not in my general rules and it should be..... >.< lol. Yeah, excessive stalling is usually banned.
I left the pools thing in there cause earlier you said if we had a huge turnout pools would be done, but I highly doubt to be as large as would be needed for you to do pools.
Looks good.
So those are the rules people.I copied and pasted the general rules from G4S5, and modified them for Brawl. You can copy and paste this in there and edit it to your liking.

Chaingrabbing people off the stage with Dedede I guess? I haven't played Brawl yet so I'm not sure how difficult it is to get out of it.i still don't get why bridge of eldin is banned...but whatever you guys wanna do, i suppose...but i'm glad you came to your senses about green greens, gerbil
oh, also, are we doing teams? or just singles?
This.
i don't know why Eldin is banned either marty loli still don't get why bridge of eldin is banned...but whatever you guys wanna do, i suppose...but i'm glad you came to your senses about green greens, gerbil
oh, also, are we doing teams? or just singles?
Falcos infinite laser FTW lol
i hate you lollol that laser kill was so funked up. But it was absolutely hilarious!
The falco laser is really the reason for banning BOE. I mean the DeDeDe CG thing is kinda annoying, but I would just pick samus and put that crap to rest. lol
....but yeah BOE banned for the time being I suppose.
