Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS Ruleset

[BROX_Basher]

Hey, guys!!

Fairly new to this site, but I've been playing Sm4sh for a long time. So, I thought I'd start a thread on what I think the Ruleset for Sm4sh should be. Not exactly thinking the Forum Support is going to notice this, but if they do, I tried my best! And if anyone has any reasonable suggestions for the ruleset, please reply to this thread!

Smashboards Wii U/3DS Ruleset

General Rules

• Items are disabled.
• Blocked Omega stages are not allowed. Only Omega Stages with diagonal sides and diagonal platforms are allowed, with the exception of the Duck Hunt Omega Stage.

Match Procedures

1. Players select their characters. Either player may choose to Blind Pick. In this case, each player secretly tells a third player their character before picking with the third player verifying their selections.
2. Players play Rock-Paper-Scissors. Winner chooses between selecting controller port or first Stage Strike.
3. Players take turns removing stages from the Neutral Stages list above based upon the results of the previous rule. The first player to strike removes one(1) stage from the list, the second player removes two(2), and the first player then chooses from the remaining two(2) stages.
4. The players play the first match of the set.
5. Winning player of the preceding match bans a stage from the full list of stages, both Neutral and Counter-Pick. Does not apply to Best of 5 sets.
6. The Losing player of the preceding match picks a stage for the next match. Cannot choose the stage banned in the previous step, nor a stage they've already won on during this set, unless agreed.
7. The winning player of the preceding match may choose to change characters.
8. The losing player of the preceding match may choose to change characters.
9. The losing player of the preceding match may change their controller port.
10. The next match is played

Repeat Steps 5 through 10 for all subsequent matches until the set is complete.

(Yes, I copied and pasted, but you get the idea.)

And here's the ruleset!! Hope this'll help out!!

(Edit 1: I increased the time from 7 to 10, at the aloud thought of Mario & Sonic Guy , and added Counterpick stages at the thought of FamilyTeam . Please keep the suggestions coming!)
(Edit 2: I added more starter stages and counterpicks. Hope this is better!)

I don't think having both Dream Land 64 and Battlefield as Starters is a good idea.
I thought we had it as Counterpick in the first place is so we don't have two very similar triplats in the beginning.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Typically I do 3-stock 10-minute matches for my offline matches.

I think only omega stages with wall jumping on side like Palutenas temple should be enabled but whatever

Well, only stages with a diagonal edge and a diagonal platform makes it so it makes a challenge, to make sure that matches aren't too easy to get up to. If you watch some Dragon Smash and GRSmash videos, you'll know what I mean by diagonal edge.

Midgar?! Also, if BF and DL are counterpicks, you need to update the striking method to accommodate a 3-stage starter list.

I'm horrible at choosing stages. If you'd like to help out, you can. However, I'm adding starter stages.

I just think it adds more strategy to picking maybe it could be one omega stage like Palutenas temple and one with a diagonal edge to add more strategy(e.g. If you're character can walk jump and you're opponent's can't you will probably want to pick one with straight edges like Palutenas temple

I just now added Duck Hunt. Think that's fair, or something else?

Yeah that's good I honestly really like the duck hunt stage and it has the straight walls so that's fair

Also: Maybe add big battlefield as a 2v2 stage or a 4v4 and 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1(Yes there are actually tournaments for both of these)

Added it!! Also, should I add another timeless stage?

A stage that sticks with you throughout the ages.
