[FONT=inherit][FONT=inherit][FONT=inherit]Glitches and infinites are strictly prohibited. Violation of this rule will result in a loss of a match, set, or even disqualification depending on a referee’s call. [/FONT]*These would include: Rachet’s Infinite Grab, The PaRappa Infinite Tech and The Toro Stall.[/FONT][/FONT]
(The Toro Stall is using Toro’s Neutral Circle to gain AP outside of the screen.) If you have a glitch or exploit occur mid game, please stop playing and contact a referee *[FONT=inherit][FONT=inherit]immediately.**[/FONT]*[/FONT]
[FONT=inherit]*This allows players to pick characters without the opponent knowing which character you are playing, for the simple reason of avoiding character counterpicking in the first match. This is solved by letting a referee know which character each person is using in private.**Stage striking works by selecting which stages you do NOT want to play on in the first match of a set until you have one stage left. That last stage left will be the one used in the first match.***Ex: Player 1 wins the first match on Practice Medium 1. Player 2 wins the second match. Player 1 cannot pick Practice Medium 1 for the match of the set. However, Player 2 CAN pick Practice Medium 1.[/FONT]
