Smash Obsessed
Every Wednesday night come on out to SMASH & CLASH - the hottest Smash 4 weekly located in Philadelphia, conveniently in University City next to UPenn and Drexel campus! Unwind and enjoy a night of Smash, great food, and cold drinks - we’re ready to build up East Coast’s very own “Foundry” just like the famous tournament venue in San Francisco.
**Due to the nature of the venue (bar/restaurant), you must be 18 or older to attend. Please bring ID in case you are asked to prove your age if you don't look 18 or older.**
Please read all details. Some details about the event have changed from past iterations of S&C that were hosted earlier this year.
What separates SMASH & CLASH from other weekly tournaments?
-Powered by one of the biggest Smash livestreams around, ready to bring notoriety and popularity to our thriving Philly scene!
-Great location in the heart of Philadelphia that is only 2 blocks away from the subway station, walkable from multiple college campuses, and in an area where street parking is easy to find.
-The equipment is provided so you can always expect us to have plenty of setups for people to play on and get the tournament done fast!
-Located in a bar and kitchen, with $3 flat rate for drinks (beer/wine/cocktails).
-TONS of space! Look forward to bigger events held here periodically.
Oh yeah, did I mention it’s at a bar!? Time to kick back and relax midweek with drinks and Smash~

Rules:
-All sets are best 2 out of 3 with the exception of Winners, Losers, and Grand Finals that are best of 5.
-2 stock, 6 minute time for singles.
-Items are set to off and none.
-Pause is set to off.
-Customs set to off.
-The results screen is used to determine the winner of a game in all instances, with the exception of when sudden death occurs. If sudden death occurs via timeout, the player who ended with less percent is declared the winner. If sudden death occurs via loss of stocks, a 1 stock 3 minute rematch is played.
-Each player may make one Mii Fighter of each type (Brawler/Gunner/Swordfighter) during a set when they intend to use them. They may only use a system default Mii with any special combination of their preference. The appearance or equipment may not be altered. A player may transfer a Mii that is approved by a TO to the stream setup during downtime (friendlies or advertisements) that may be used during tournament. The Mii must be standard height and weight, and may not be overly distracting. This is to bring additional diversity and personality to the event and stream.
-Players may not play with a gamepad. Players may use any other wireless controller at their own risk, and must properly desync it and remove the batteries after each set, with risk of DQ if this is not done properly. Pro Controllers will only be allowed if they remove their battery pack on their own and have their own charging cable.
-The TOs have the right to make the final calling on any issue or discrepancy.
-Starter Stages: Battlefield, Final Destination, Smashville, Dreamland 64, Town and City
-Counterpick Stages: Duck Hunt, Lylat Cruise
Omega Stages may be used instead of Final Destination during counterpicking if the stage has not been banned.
Set Procedure:
-Players may elect to do a double blind pick to select characters.
-Players decide which team will strike first via Rock-Paper-Scissors.
-The 5 starter stages are stricken in a 1-2-2-1 format. The remaining stage is chosen for game 1.
-The previous winner may select to ban a stage from the rest of the set if they haven’t yet. The loser then selects any remaining legal stage, and they may not select a stage they have already won on. The previous winner then selects their character first. (The stage bans are in place for the entire set, and can not be changed after each loss)
Changed from the previous S&C ruleset:
-Umbra Clock Tower has been removed.
-Your stage bans apply to both yourself and your opponent. We previously tested how it turns out if bans only affect your opponent to ease the banning process with the amount of stages in a Best of 5 format. We might try this again later, but are switching it to the current standard.
We'll be adding more details and cool features about the SMASH & CLASH series in the near future! Tell your friends and come on out to have a great time!!
