How goes it everyone? 7 months ago this site had its first Brawl tournament, and now the Wii fighter game is rearing its head back for Round 2!! I am Alakazamaster, and I am co-hosting this tournament with the dashing Ayunnuya, and we intend on making this tournament a roaring success! I joined this site thanks to the glorious tourney held back in December, and as such I will do justice to this very tournament. The tournament shall take place on July 31st at 12 Noon Pacific Time. Now, enough babbling and rambling, what say you to the idea of laying down the basic rules?


Type of Battles: One vs. one. Not a lot to say here.

Items off. No items are to be allowed whatsoever. This rule is incredibly important, as not abiding by this rule will result in an automatic disqualification.

Number of Battles: Best two out of three. To avoid possible flukes, three [3] battles will be played. Whomever win two [2] of the three [3] will be declared victor.

Time and Stock: Three [3] stock, and eight [8] minutes. This ensures that there will not be any foolish stalling. If time runs out, however, then whomever had fewer lives and more damage dealt will be declared loser.

No Hacks or Glitches: This should be clear. Hack and you are out.

No Stalling: Jumping and running away without dealing damage is prohibited. Naturally there are characters such as Olimar whom excel at camping, but there is a fine line between that and stalling. Planking/Scrooging is also banned.

Suicide Rules: All suicide techniques are allowed and valid.

Is Switching Characters Allowed: YES.

Stages:

Battlefield, Final Destination, Smashville, Yoshi's Island, Castle Siege, Halberd, Lylat Cruise, Pokemon Stadium (Melee), Brinstar (Melee), Delfino Plaza, Frigate Orpheon, Jungle Japes (Melee), Pictochat, Pirate Ship, Pokemon Stadium 2, Rainbow Cruise (Melee).

Welp, those are the rules. More likely than not, some of you may have a few questions. Go ahead and ask them, as that is the reason that this thread was invented! I hope that you did not find anything TOO outrageous or scandalous, and that any conflicts are meager at best.

Back to the topic:
Ohlookatourneytardtourney. :V
1) I think any stage should be allowed.
2) Suicide rules. No. No way. That's completely unfair. Either everybody can use suicide moves or none of them can use them. I get what you mean with the sword move and the jump move, but instead, rephrase it somehow, because that's unfair and biased. Which moves do you mean that they(Kirby and Dedede) can use exactly?

We can't even have the brawl ball? It's called super smash bros. brawl, so I think we should at least have that.

I can't wait.

No items?

...

Not interested. Kthnx.

Turn on items and any stage kthxbai

if me and my cusion join this can we both use the same game to brawl in the tournament? like if i was to brawl someone and used his game and won, and if he also had a brawl with someone after that, can we use the same game to brawl with as long as we use different names when we pick our characters?
Cause i dont have a wii and this game, but my cusion always brings his game over to my house to play it.

Woot, can't wait for the tournament, though the rules suck (specifically turning off items), but I'll do it. Oh and Sunny your Sesame pic is creepy.....

oh ok ala i'll make sure he makes a account on here so he can take part.

I'm probably gonna join this, but can you allow the stage Corneria? It's one of my favourites, and I don't think anyone gets an unfair advantage.

Just a statement because I'm finding inconsistencies.

The below two numbers are on the account that both characters are on their final lives.

1) Ganoncides count as Ganondorf's victory if it says he is first-place in the final result, if both characters are equally placed in the final result screen, Ganoncide results in a loss.

2) Same goes for Bowsercides.

Continuing on the topic of cides, tournaments allow these cides because you truly have to be blind to not see the tactic coming.

Even moreso, Bowser and Ganondorf require grabs, very close proximity. Dedede has a different sucking mechanic than kirby in the brawl coding, and also uses SUCKING. Which has MORE range than the two in discussion.

(However, on the above notes and the fact that you can't see final result screens, it should be all cides allowed, or no cides allowed, personally, I go with the no cides allowed.)

3) Time limit should be five minutes, but because I doubt everyone here has the same code that I do to remove recording limits in Brawl, it should have NO time limit. Time limits are installed in tournaments to prevent overtime. It should not be installed in online non-pro matches unless all recipients(spellfail) can commit to coding.

I will join the tournament.Will we able to change the rules? I was thinking there could be a few more stages as long it doesn't have luck or have any hazards in it.Otherwise I am fine with the rules.

I support this tournament completely, and I will participate in it.

When will it be held?

I think we ought to include all stages unless there is one in particular someone objects to. I also think that we should include Smash Balls and Pokeballs on LOW, because smash balls are a main part of the game and pokeballs because WE'RE A POKEMON WEBSITE.

I might join, providing you kick my ass and I don't make it past the first round.

First off, I'd like to say thanks to Kaz for getting this started for me. We discussed these prior to making these threads and tried to reduce every bit of hax possible (however, thanks to Brawl's TERRIBLE wifi, lag will be near inevitable.) So, I'm here to check a few questions.

What happens if my opponet taunts but im attacking before the taunt is even used is that ok about that taunt rule? Like say if i attacked kirby my opponet hit the taunt button my attack is still doing the attack and kirby does the taunt right before being hit. how will that work.

I'm in. Nice to see that switching characters is allowed.

I think the rules now are perfect

I don't really care whether items are on or not.

The official "high level tournament" play guide allows suicide kills from all characters. If Bowser's Over B ends the match, then Bowser is considered to win regardless of whether it goes to sudden death or not. It's not like the suicide kills are that broken, as characters that use such things are generally considered "bad" anyway. Of course, I don't plan on using Bowser in a tournament.

Also, due to personal bias, I don't like Jungle Japes or Pirate Ship being unbanned. I personally find both stages to be unfair and rather luck based. Of course, if people want to keep them, that's fine. (You hear that people? Use those stages as counterpicks against me. xD)

Stages that seem okay:
Bridge of Eldin, Distant Planet, Green Hill Zone, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Circuit, Shadow Moses Island, Yoshi's Island (Melee), Onett (Melee), Corneria (Melee)

hey you erased my posts??? well im gonna brawl with u guys

I will not join because I don't have WiFi at house.

I would of joined if there's a Smash ball and low items >:C

then dont join items are cheap... no real brawler uses them... and smash balls are too un-fair at times for instance:
you are on a small stage
you are bowser your opponet is ike one final smash from ike means you lost

Hmmm, what would I say that would be too simple, if no Smash ball, I would've say Enable 1 item, nuff said, Leafy

items=luck
luck=not learning
not learning=sucking

This tourney is meant to be a more official one, with rules banning items and certain stages and so forth. There will probably be a tourney in the future that allows items, so please stop complaining about items being banned.

I'll probably join. It all depends on when the tournament will be held. If I'm with my dad when we do it, I won't be able to use Wi-Fi.

I might be able to join. July is my crunch month, though. If I can or can't join I'll tell ya. When's it gonna be?

I think I should be able to participate, as long as it's on the 31st. The only thing is that I'm not completely sure if I'll have Wi-Fi, but I most likely will.

The last brawl tournament sucked though

What if there's a tie between all of them? (Also, I'm joining but I might have to forfeit, my brawl disk isn't very trustful)

Best of 3? Hell yea~! I was gonna suggest that but ya got too it already~! :3

AND BUI YOUR TOURNEMENT WAS JUST FINE~ !:>

i'm in! i love a challenge! 8D

I'm joining, but WHEN IS IT?

Nice to know that you are joining, but I must remind you all that this is NOT the sign-up thread. The tourney will take place on the 31st of July, at 12 PM Pacific Time. This information has also been added to the main post.

I think Castle Siege should be banned. Not only does it sometimes have walk-off edges, but when you're going in-between areas, you could walk to one side and then find out that you've gone too far, and you die off the edge.

so how do we sign up?

Ok, I regret not saying this earlier, but i've never been in a tourney before. ;( Can someone please explain it me?

It's generally difficult to tell whether a person is "stalling" or not.

Heh. I don't really care If we can't use some characters or stages or items. Makes my job easier.
However, Items are fun and so are some of the stages mentioned, but whatever. It's fine with me.

and LEAF? Shut it. No one wants to listen to you.

PK fire isn't very campy, but you can try. ;3;

Now PK thunder is Campy.
