I was going through some old stuff and found the ruleset that Skyfire and I used before we found out about smashboards.

We come from a small town that has a lot of players and not a lot of tournaments. In an attempt to better our competitive scene we developed a system that allowed players to challenge other players in "ranked" matches. The player with the best record had the most bragging rights. :p

Not a bad ruleset I'd say.

1) Before the ranked match, one must declare that it is a ranked match. It only counts as a ranked match if both players agree.
2) One cannot re-challange someone to a ranked match if he/she won the previous ranked match.
3) One can only challenge people who actually play the game.
4) One must accept any challenge that isn't a ranked-rematch.
5) Each match should be played with 5 stocks, and no items. Games must be 1V1 and the stage must be random. The best of 3 games is the winner.
6) Rule 6 may be varied if both players agree so.
7) In the event that one quits in the middle of a match without the consent of his/her opponent, the player who quit loses that game.
8) If one must pause, he/she must tell their opponent before doing so. You cannot pause in the middle of combat.
9) When un-pausing a game, both players must go to opposite sides of the stage before continuing the game.

Looking back at this, it seems rather silly that there are no rules regarding character counter-picks. But when everyone in your town only knows how to play their main character counter-picks were unheard of lol.

But if everyone starts playing yoshi people will learn how to play against yoshi and he'll become useless

I was about to start teaching weedwack Yoshi the other day.

But then I realized I gotta stop doing that or then everyone will know how to play vs Yoshi.

And that's like the biggest advantage Yoshi has. Most people are clueless against him.

^^Seriously Sheer you're ruining the fun of Yoshi. You're grounded!
I'm just as guilty though xD.

@Clubba, I was gonna go all Yoshi for my next tourney but I feel like everyone plays him now and was like mehh lol.
Soooooooo, I'm going all Falcon for next Apex.

So peeps can prepare for me =P
Until I enter under TanklinTheFertile and then again the advantage 8)

And I agree, Falcon died when I stopped playing him...

If people learn how to play against yoshi, yoshi players will just have to be more creative. Such is the nature of the metagame.

It is bittersweet to move on from my first main, but I started playing ness 3 years ago and I feel like we had a good run together. I want to play a more tournament viable character to give myself a chance to place higher.

Not that its impossible to place highly in tournament's with ness. Nangoku showed us otherwise at apex. I just dont have the level of commitment to continue competing at that large of a disadvantage. And I am rather fond of winning.

@weedwack,
As much as I want to call you out, and say you're a punk ass ***** *****, I know I have thought about going all Luigi/Link in tourney and end up pussying out and john in my head about the char not being good enough.

It's like, it's all good until you run into a player who really know how to shut down your options. And then you're like... well ****. It's like a gimmick. It's like the char's whole playstyle is a gimmick. It absolutely ***** until they find out.. then it will never work again.

/LowTierSupportGroup

But then Roca or whatever his name is did well with Luigi...
and Isai...
soooo maybe I just need to get better ;___;
Also, have you played Sheer's Ness recently? Dude *****. TrueFax.

@Clubba, Lmaooo!!! You're on a roll dude xD

Housing in Japan for my girlfriend Brenda, me and madrush is more or less SECURED. Now we just have to purchase the buddy passes. Jousuke says the BIG Kanto tournament will probably be on August 17th, so that means we'll probably go to Japan near the end of July.
