WBR Ruleset 1.0: Pictochat ~5 Day Deadline - Discuss B4 Voting!

[CT Chia]

DISCUSS THE STAGE BEFORE VOTING! THIS STAGE IS DIFFERENT IN BRAWL+ THAN IN VBRAWL!

Ok everyone, here's a stage vote for Pictochat. Vote Starter, Counterpick, or Banned. Stages need a 2/3 (66%) majority to be primarily in that category. If the vote is split (such as 50% Starter 50% Counterpick) then the stage will be in the Starter/Counterpick section.

Notes about Pictochat

-Stage now runs in 2/3 speed
-This leaves more time in the neutral position, as well as more time in the drawing position
-Slightly easier to tell which transformations are coming up when being drawn from being slower
-No transformations ever repeat once in the same match
-Some transformations are hazardous, such as missiles, spikes, rollercoaster
-One transformation in particular that can be unpredictable and killing are the two (I believe there are two) transformations that put a small extension on each side of the stage removing the ledges. If this happens when recovering and going for the sweetspot, you will die.
-There is a safe zone that you can stand in that will leave you safe at the start of every transformation. It is standing on the ground on the left 66% of the stage.

Poll Deadline: 5 days

The hazards are pretty easy to see coming with the slowdown (though I wouldn't be against even a little more slowdown) and they aren't too much of a problem anyway for the most part. There are a few dumb transformations that I wish we could get rid of, but overall I think it's a solid CP (not that anyone would CP it, it doesn't really give any obvious advantages to any particular characters, but I guess some people like it, and being more prepared than your opponent for the various transformations can make a big difference).

I agree with JCaesar. It's a surprise counterpick people use against unsuspecting people who would never play this casual stage. Besides for the spike fence none of the hazards are so terrible. It's a little out there, but it adds diversity and there is nothing overpowering about it.

 

[_Yes!_]

I think it's something worth striking. CP is fine with me too.

In vBrawl, I had used this as a CP in Doubles one time and it actually proved to be very helpful. I would still consider this a CP, and now with the slowdown, it's definitely a better CP than before.

vBrawl bias aside, I think JCaesar and Falco400 covered what I was about to say.
