This isn’t GameFAQs/IGN. We don’t base what system we use based on the mainstream peanut gallery.

Will we be playing 1 set or 2/3 sets in 3rd Strike?

So what’s the deal with Brawl? It’s got a whole Zone in the schedule but I can’t find any info on it. Is it still with all items? Because that was pretty fun to watch last time.

Short answer: No.

Long answer:

Singles/General
* 3 Stock, 8 Minute Time Limit (If time does expire, the winner will be determined by first stock, then percentage. In the event both are tied Sudden Death will be played out.)
* Best of 3 until Winners Bracket and Losers Bracket Semifinals are reached. Winners and Losers Bracket Semifinals and Finals are best of 5
* **No Items**
* No stalling (via ledge or otherwise). Any infinite chain grabs must be ended after 300% has been reached as to prevent excessive stalling. Avoiding a reachable position of combat to purposely run the timer is stalling.
* Standing infinites are banned only when used to stall.
* No player/team may counterpick a stage you have already won on earlier in the current set.
* In the event of a dispute, controller ports, colors, and stage strike selection order will be determined by Rock-Paper-Scissors.
* Your controller, settings, and name tag are your responsibility prior to the start of the match. Always check you are using the correct settings and everything is working BEFORE a match is played. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions or incorrect settings, it must be agreed upon by both parties.
* Any action that can prevent an in progress game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, touching the equipment, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and will be held responsible for triggering one of these effects or any conduct preventing the match from finishing.
* Metaknights Infinite Cape glitch is banned.
* If a player successfully ends the match with either Bowser or Ganondorfs over B attack by suicide, then the player who initiated the move wins. If a player ends the match by swallowing with King DeDeDe or Kirby, and it counts as a tie the player whom initiated the swallowing wins. Unless the character breaks out prior to death and is shown winning the match. In which case, that stands as the correct result.
Set Format (In Order of Procedure):

Players choose their characters for the first match*

Players start the stage striking procedure**

The first game is played, using the stage chosen during step 2

Each Player/Team may announce one stage to be banned during counterpicks

The losing Player/Team of the previous match announces the next matchs stage from either the Starter Stage List or the Counter Stage List

The winning Player/Team of the previous match chooses their character/s

The losing Player/Team of the previous match chooses their character/s

Repeat steps 5-7 until the best of 3 or best of 5 set is complete.

*Double blind character selection may be called for the first match. In which case the players will each write down their characters on a sheet of paper and exchange them.

**One Player/Team will strike 1 stage, then their opponent will strike another 2 stages, leaving 2 stages in which the first team will strike 1 leaving one to be played on.

Neutral Stages:
* Battlefield
* Final Destination
* Smashville
* Yoshis Island (Brawl)
* Pokemon Stadium(Melee)
Counterpick Stages:
* Delfino Plaza
* Castle Siege
* Battleship Halberd
* Frigate Orpheon
* Rainbow Cruise
* Brinstar
* Lylat Cruise
* Jungle Japes

ROFLMAO no! :rolleyes:

Damn, it’s a bit sad that they caved on the issue. Guess they just handed that part of Evo over to smashers to handle as they see fit? That would explain the lack of info/referencing to the game on the evo2k homepage.
Meh.

VOLCANO on sf4 should get the same treatment as the boss stage on guilty gear. Shit is wack. Everything is fucking orange.

SRK_awaKening16 · July 17, 2009, 6:57pm

Id pick seth orange color just to blend in to get the advantage!
