In March, one of the most unique events in the history of Smash for Wii U occurred. It featured not just a large Wii U tournament done time efficiently, but the first time ever Customs and Low Tiers were able to join the stage all in the tournament. We ran 4 tournaments in a single day, and only broadcasted premium content.

What is Glitch?

Glitch is a special type of tournament that will be held at Xanadu, a Wii U and Brawl event. The name is something that comes from breaking away from the system, so many regional and large tournaments these days won't take the risk of hosting Wii U on it's own, and stick to a tried and true formula. Glitch aims to not just bring a Wii U/Brawl exclusive tournament that can hold its own, but specialize in all the things that make Wii U a unique game and surpass the experience you might get elsewhere.

Registration goes live on 7/29 at 8pm: smash.gg/glitch


Confirmed events:


Singles (1v1, 2 stock, 6 minutes, no customization) Doubles (2v2, 3 stock, 6 minutes, no customization) Low Tier Singles (1v1, 2 stock, 6 minutes, no customization) Custom Singles (1v1, 3 stock, 6 minutes, customization allowed, liberal stage list), Brawl Singles (1v1, 2 stock 6 minutes, MK/ICs banned), Triples (3v3, 2 stock, 6 minutes, no customization), Amiibo Side Tournament for Charity benefitting Share Stock, a smash based charity organization whose funds go to Child's Play Charity.

Location: Xanadu Games (thread has the address info! If Baltimore doesn't work as the city address, try using Halethorpe or Arbutus. This really isn't within "Baltimore" per se.)

Xanadu is the premiere spot for Smash in MD/VA and always has the #1 smash livestream in the world, VGBootcamp each and every week streaming the action.

Rules: These rules apply to all events, specific events below. If you have any questions about the rules, please ask up front rather than waiting till after a match to ask. It could be too late!


General Gameplay:

- Items are set to "off" and "none"
- If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage. If there is a tie, see the tiebreaker section to follow.
- Controller ports will be decided by players. If there is a conflict, we prefer using the G&W Hammer method to determine who gets to choose.
- You may switch controller ports on your counterpick only.
- BYOC (Bring your own controller). I recommend having a spare, just in case. If you don't have one, I might have a few for sale.
- Any controller malfunction mid match is on you. If you need to reset, your opponent will have to agree to a reset as doing so will require you to pause the match. (if pause is on).
- Stalling is banned. You know what this is, ask if you're unsure.
- If you freeze the game on an action initiated by your character, you lose the game. You are expected to know the boundaries of your character. (This rarely, if ever, happens.)
- Pause is recommended to be turned on for quick resets, but players can request it be turned off for the duration of their match.
- If a player pauses the match mid game (accidentally or intentionally), it is a stock loss to the player who pressed it (unless for valid interruption at T.O's discretion).
- For a match ending in sudden death, please refer to the tie break section of the rules below.

- Coaching mid-match is banned. Don't do it.
- You cannot re-select a stage you have won on as a counterpick.
- Any and all infinites (basically, where someone can control the opponent without them being able to do anything about it) must end at 300%, otherwise it becomes stalling. All infinites are entirely legal otherwise.
- 1 stage ban on your counterpick, bans do not persist between matches.
- Customization is banned
- Wii U Gamepads/3DS/2DS are not a legal controller for use.
These mii's must be the default mii's provided with the console, which are a default height and weight.

- Mewtwo, Roy, Ryu, Lucas, Cloud, Bayonetta and Corrin are all legal in tournament play. All consoles must contain these characters.

6. Winner of previous match chooses characters
7. Loser of previous match chooses characters
8. Play next game
9. Rinse and repeat 4-8 if set goes to a third game.


Tie Breaking:


Note: Tiebreaking is only initiated if the game started a sudden death round upon completion. Otherwise, the game declared winner is the winner of the match.

1. Winner is determined by highest stock count then lowest percent. If the % were tied or the match ended in a simultaneous death, proceed to step 2.
2. 1 stock, 3 minute match is played as a tiebreaker match. The winner of this match wins the round. If there is a tie in this match, proceed to step 3.
3. A second 1 stock, no time limit match is played. If a simultaneous death is initiated (such as swallocide) in this match, the initiator loses the match. There is no tie for this match, it is play until you win.

- Drugs/Alcohol are banned from Xanadu. Don't let me see any, smell any, etc. We'll send you home packing.

I can't go, I live too far away, but thanks for making Triples an available metagame!
Also, your Mii rules are great. Nice work finding balanced sets for each Mii!
Now, to make one suggestion- can Pyrosphere be a Triples neutral?
