Maribro Party 1 Congrats to Joelio, Feedback wanted
- 3 stock, 9 minute timer. - A set is comprised of a best of three games. Winners and losers' finals and semi-finals, as well as grand finals are best of five. - In the case of the time limit running out, the winner is the player with the most number of stocks remaining. If this is equal, the winner is the one with the lower damage. If this is also equal, a rematch is required (same characters, same stage). - If a sudden death is caused as a result of a suicide move, the initiator of the move is granted the victory. If a sudden death is caused due to both players dying at the same time, a rematch is played. - Items are switched to "off" and "none". - Customisations are "on". Custom moves are illegal except for in the case of Miis and Palutena, these two characters are wholly unrestricted. Equipment is strictly banned. - Starter stages are Battlefield, Yoshi's Island (Brawl) and Final Destination. The person who bans first is the person on the upper side of challonge bracket. The other player chooses a stage from the remaining two stages. You can organise this through skype, FB or PM on here. - Counterpick stages are Ω stages, Prism Tower, Arena Ferox, Brinstar, Reset Bomb Forest and Tomodachi Life. - For games two and beyond in a set, player that won the last game chooses two stages to ban. The loser then chooses one of the starter or counterpick stages to play the next game on. - Characters (and customs in the case of Palutena and Miis) are to be announced before stages are picked for the first game in a set, and after for later games. Customs (for the characters with which these moves are available) are to be picked and announced as characters are picked.
I know it's not normally a tournament standard, but I do think it would be a good idea for players to announce their characters before stage bans, as some stages provide a huge advantage to certain characters.
