i just got off the phone with boxxy we will be doing a smash 64 and brawl draft crew (time permitable) and if xatic would want to run a melee crew i guess that would be cool.
Gio u know all the rules for 64 so i trust u
WHOA that sounds epic... I've never even heard of a 64 crew battle before lmao. I'll research this
edit - I guess we could just use the standard rules:
* Generally best 2 out of 3 (using 3 out of 5 or sometimes 4 out of 7 for finals)
* Double Elimination
* 5 stock
* 10 minute time limit, if it is possible, most emulators don't have time limit
* Items are turned off
* Handicaps are off
* The first match is selected randomly excluding Yoshi's Island, Sector Z, Planet Zebes, and Mushroom Kingdom.
* Mushroom Kingdom, Sector Z, Yoshi's Island are usually banned: Mushroom Kingdom for pipe spamming/edge camping, Yoshi's Island for cloud camping and projectile camping, and Sector Z for the size and the Arwing lasers. Planet Zebes is sometimes banned as well, for the acid.
* The loser of each match picks the stage for the next match excluding the illegal stages listed above.
* If Saffron City is selected on the first round and one of the players is using Ness, he or she may request a re-pick.
* However, if the Ness player wins the match, his/her opponent may counterpick Saffron City.
* The loser cannot choose a stage on which a previous match was played (known as "Dave's stupid rule"). Due to the low number of allowed stages in this game, this is often weakened to the loser cannot choose the stage on which the last match was played.
* For the first match, characters are chosen double-blind - at the same time, so that neither player knows their opponent's character beforehand.
* Players may re-pick characters after each match. However, the loser of each match gets to pick last (known as slob picks).
These are basically the same rules as melee, with 5 stocks. For the first stage, I think it'd be more reasonable to choose random between Dreamland and Hyrule, as those are really the only semi-neutral stages, with the other legal stages as counterpicks.
