Seconding this. People used to tell stories about 3 stage tournaments in Japan, then turn around and post a few Japanese tournament matches that happened on liberal stages.

). One thing that I noticed while running the event was that not many people would select customs for their tournament matches, but really got into exploring them during friendlies. One of the coolest things I witnessed was when one of the players, in their winners bracket match, combo'd off two of King Dedede's custom moves: the Dedede player used Taste Test to spit their opponent below Smashville, and immediately used Rising Dedede to stage spike them. They did a lot of cheeky things like that at the tournament, and I am excited about that custom Up-B.
Could you link me to the document for the cheat-sheets? I was thinking of making something similar this for this upcoming week, but if there already is one that'd be awesome.Okay so I wasn't able to get around to it until now, but I wanted to report back on the Customs tournament I held last weekend. The results can be found here.
It was interesting to see Dr. Mario taking the tournament, as well as the variety of characters that made it to Top 8. Dr. Mario with Customs is legitimately awesome (shout-out to @
One thing that was super helpful: we had print-outs at each station/set-up that was a cheat-sheet for each character's Custom Moves and the corresponding number. I had several people who I played against consult the cheat-sheet to figure out which Olimar customs I was using.
In general, they created a great buzz and we'll be doing our next tournament using them as well. Hopefully with the exposure from this last time, we should be able to get a lot more people running custom builds. We'll just have to update to the Evo Release, and we'll be golden.
As a gift, here's the Grand Finals of Custom Dr. Mario vs Custom-less Rosalina. Enjoy!

Don't forget Rosalina is the 4th lightest character in the game, and they were already offstage for the Tornado kill. But yes, he's got some power for sure.
I'm highly considering going for the Super Jump custom next time around. It lets Doctor Mario's offstage game actually exist, as he gains some great recovery, sacrificing some on-stage kills, down throw combos, and an out of shield option.

, however, I really think the normal > Super Jump, since the normal one + Soaring Tornado already covers enough distance, and you usually preserved a jump every-time you went off-stage so I don't think you needed that much distance on up-B. Having an OoS option seems really good though, and it just makes Dr. Mario perform much better from my experience. One Ol' Punch is probably not amazing for you, and probably not really worth the distance loss, but I think the original Up-B covers the best of both sides. :3
I really wish Winners Finals was saved, as I did some fancy stuff with the Ol' One-Two there. It's pretty awesome, and it kills early! I regret not using it more in Grand Finals, but I wanted to go for the safest options possible. It's quite punishable.You did a great job on the tournament @
Take what I say with a grain of salt though, I'm not the best Dr. Mario by a long-shot nor do I main him haha.
This is an excellent and simple way to describe custom specials. Hopefully this gets more exposure as it will definitely help unfamiliar players to get the gist of what a custom may do.
Similarly, Luigi's Fiery Jump Punch does less damage on a crit, not more. The size is bigger. I guess you can interpret "+crit" to mean bigger critical area but I wouldn't..These lists are amazing, it's very professional and was well done.
I have no complaints about it, other than the fact that Iai Counter actually does 1.4x damage as opposed to normal counter which does 1.2x. At least for Marth, so I would remove the weak part.
You win one round of target blast with her to trick the game into thinking you're farming with Palutena when you're actually farming with Ganon, so that you get wildcard moves instead of moves that give preference to Ganon.
On the contrary, we've been discussing specifics for weeks, because the character boards (at least for some characters) don't get as much feedback.
Which punch will finally be crowned "Least Useless"? More at 11.
Preferably character discussion should stay on the character boards so that this thread doesn't get flooded and so that everyone interested in a character can see the discussion without having to hang out in this thread.
I prefer Warlock Blade just so Ganondorf can actually use the damn sword for once.
