[QLD] Smashbox V - January 9th ft. MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE and BARRYDABUSDRIVAH

I must say this venue is amazing. Its a refurbished Japanese restaurant with decent room. Its near the city centre so its near trains and food which is rare for smash tournaments.

Mii fighters are in and rules are up.

Being the first event ill need to guage how time goes but if we have enough time I'd like to try quads.

Will do pools this week so if people want to know who theyll be up against then please preregister.

Not sure if there will be a pro and ametuer bracket yet but pools should be good so you dont get only two matches.

I know customs will be banned for this particular tournament, but as I've collected every custom move on my 3DS sm4sh copy, and set up all the current custom moveset builds as per the Smashboards Custom Moveset Project (EVO edition), I'd like to get around during the event and load up players' consoles with said custom movesets if possible.

Transferring customs for all characters takes around 10-15 minutes at most, and after having experimented a fair bit with them, I'd honestly like to make a push towards having customs tournaments in QLD in the future. Not to say standard movesets get boring or anything like that, but variety is the spice of life after all.

If it's fine with the TOs, I'd like to be able to get like a list or something going of people who would bring setups and are fine with me loading up customs on their machine on the day. I'm only one person, but if I have some order to work with, it would make the process much smoother.

Share your thoughts etc on the matter.

if anything for customs give ganondorf the double upb thing to make him viable. and other characters that may need to custom to make them viable.

other than that customs are bad.

---

Customs are unhealthy for the game, they make some mediocre characters like DK better, but they also make some characters worse by giving top tiers whole new threats (Rosalina Long Star Bit, Sheik Gravity Grenade... etc) while not giving some of the really bad characters anything (Zelda has a completely trash custom moveset).

The only characters I support having custom moves for is Palutena and Miis.

I actually think the custom metagame is more interesting and generally better than the standard metagame, but I recognise the problems with the barrier to entry with unlocking customs and people's unfamiliarity with them.

I can't be sure if there is viability for this as a main event in the near future but I support the idea and think maybe it could be viable as a side tournament one time. My setup has all customs unlocked and I think Aero's does too so people are always welcome to mess around with customs during friendlies.

If there's no customs for mewtwo or lucas I'm pretty sure they should be banned.

If we do customs, we may as well try Smooth Lander as well. The game isn't balanced around customs and the game becomes insanely janky.

A heap of characters start being able to kill you at 40-50% while some characters, as Aero said, get nothing. It just widens the gap between top and bottom tiers.

---

Going to be completely honest... I think Smooth Lander by itself would be more balanced than customs. Many top tiers already have negligible landing lag already, but Smooth Lander would make using aerial attacks less of a chore for characters who are punished for using aerials, like Ganondorf, Zelda, Marth, Lucina, Bowser, Charizard etc etc.

I don't want to live in a world where this happens:

The badges would be significantly more balanced than customs. The only issue is like, heavy gravity butchers some characters recoveries.

If we have customs legal, I'm picking up Pikachu full time.

Even if the majority of people agree to not allow customs, I still think it'd be at least worth it to trial them at some point. I'd rather have the community say "We tried customs, they weren't for us, but we gave it a shot" than "Nah, we're just not gonna bother cause we don't like em for X reasons etc".

Like Shitashi said, I also find the custom metagame to be pretty interesting, but yes, there are going to be problems associated with it. It's just a matter of trialling it, seeing if it works or doesn't, and going from there.

Regarding customs:



Lol Jezmo has hardly played customs, and Aero is exaggerating about badges being more balanced and just wants to nerf Megaman's recovery.

I've played/seen enough of people dying at 50% tyvm.

Rosalina literally becomes the devil and that character is already dumb enough as it is.
