Though I agree that the meta game would change dramatically with 1 stock matches, I see a glaring problem with ZSS. It nerfs ICs into the ground, which I'm fine with, MK becomes less intimidating, which is good. I don't know, I go back and forth all the time whether or not it's a good idea. 2 stock seems good to me because it shortens the common lengthy games, but a BO7 1 stock ruleset would be interesting to see.

Towards the end of Saturday should be able to, but it'd be awesome if it can be streamed. Good news: We'll have two streaming set-ups :)

ZSS pieces are like MK's tornado. Once you figure the move out, it's not impossible to deal with.

2 stock sounds dumb because it just sounds like that's a way to make Brawl matches go faster. And watching someone try to time out in a 2 stock match with 6 minutes would be just ridiculous.

I was referring to the stream going on right now. And I jumped to the end of that video. It goes to match 7. I'm not sure that qualifies as OP.

I should clarify: I am AOK with ZSS dominating the meta for a while if it means Meta Knight NOT dominating the meta for a few years.

There were 14 games total, he won the first set. But its Leon so yeah lol.

And MK will still dominate the meta, he still beats ZSS. ZSS is just WAY better with 1 stock, and even 2 (which imo people should do 2 stock, ive been saying this for years too).

I think stalls and timeouts are more "OK" in one stock matches since they dominate much of the Brawl landscape.

Does this mean we at least agree that three stock is a mistake?

(Good stuff, Hungrybox.)

No, I don't think that three stocks is a mistake. I don't see anything wrong with it and it's been fine for years. Why change it with only a few months before smash 4 comes out?

Eh, you're probably right. May as well let Smash 4 just put it out of its misery. :p

Not exactly what I meant. Just saying if you're going to change how a game is ran, don't do it 6 years into the game after it's worked just fine for that long.

I prefer to look at it as a lost opportunity. You may think it has "worked just fine", but I could not stand the game until this one stock format turned up. Suddenly, I was deeply interested in what the game had to offer. You think #GOML did the wrong thing? They're the ones who are changing it. Not me.

Only reason people noticed was because Mang0 entered. Maybe people would've liked it before having given it a chance.

I... yeah, so many opinions on the whole CRT thing I have. Most know it already though, so won't even bother with that. At least they have the right "conditions" to go forward with such an ordeal.

I'm free all day till late. So whenever. I can host. Or if there's someone in the salt lake area that would be better for more people then that works too. I'm down to drive wherever.

When would people be free?

Looks like Tane is down to host too, which would probably be better for most.
