Side Events: (if people want a tourney, these will be run after the mains with at least 8 players)
T5:DR, KoF, SF2:ST, post up ideas.
The Rules:
All tournaments will be double-elimination format. 2/3, 3/5 winner’s/loser’s finals, 4/7 GF.
We’re using the Evo standard for all games.
This is a BYOC (Bring Your Own Controller/Converter/Joystick) event.
The following rules apply:
If the start button is hit or a malfunction with your equipment occurs, causing the game to pause or reset during a match within the first 5 secs, the match WILL be restarted. However if after each reset point then your opponent will have the opportunity to take the 1st win or reset the match, advantage or not.
Button mapping is allowed. Having 2 or 3 buttons combined into ONE is banned
(e.g. No 3x punch/kick mapped to L1, etc.). GG/DR are exempt from this rule.
3S – Winner keeps the same character, but can change super art. Loser can change everything. JUDGEMENT CANNOT DECIDE A MATCH!!
MvC2 – No game-breaking glitches (you know what they are); Juggs’ glitch allowed. Winner keeps the SAME team/SAME order. Loser can change everything.
SSBM ?
– Double Elimination bracket
– 4 stock, 8-minute limit
– Ties broken by lives, then percentage
– Items OFF
– Singles $5/person/Teams $5/ per person (if time/interest allows. A well-run event should leave plenty of time, like our last tourney did)
-Stages/Characters:
– Stages limited to the 6 neutral stages for random, others open for counterpicks.
– Neutral stages: Battlefield, Final Destination, Yoshi’s Story, Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland 64, Pokemon Stadium.
– Stages banned: Yoshi’s Island, MKI, MKII, Venom, Big Blue, Flatzone, Icicle Mountain, Hyrule Temple, Fourside, Brinstar Depths, Termina, Onett and Yoshi’s Island 64
– No stage may be used twice in a single match, either by random select or by picking
– Stage Strike: Each person strikes one stage for the entire set. This stage must be selected at the beginning of the match, after initial characters have been chosen.
– Advanced Slob Picks: Loser may choose the next stage or elect to go random, then winner may choose to change characters, then loser may change characters
– Double Blind pick may be called at any time
-Team Specific Rules:
– Team Attack ON
– Life stealing allowed
– Fountain of Dreams and Mute City banned
-Other SSBM Rules:
– Controller mods of ANY kind (short-hop mod, L-trigger mod, etc), excluding cosmetic changes (paint, stickers, different colored plastic, etc.), are BANNED. If you are found to be using a modded controller, you will not be able to use that controller for the rest of the tournament.
–Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (Mewtwo’s Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any glitch that freezes the match or makes it in any way unfinishable, are banned. Using them will result in the immediate forfeiture of the match.
– Tactics such as Peach’s Wallbombing and Jiggly’s Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or to maneuver around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath) to excessively stall a match is banned
**Equipment: **
If you bring the following items: TV or gaming system, the $1.00 entry fee will be deducted per item. PM/contact me on what you can bring and the first to do so will be listed on here. So far we need.
8-10 TV
4 PS2
4 GC
(I know the DC port of MvC2 is preferred but if we can get our hands on 2-3 DC?s with ps2 converters then we?ll be in business)
**How to park: **
Use the parking garage, 2nd floor if possible. Just walk in through the clear door and you should see the room. It should be free but being OU and me having bad luck they might charge; which I would suggest parking somewhere else.
Summary:
There are multiple restaurants within walking distance from this place. There will be 8 tables and 20 chairs, I?ll request more if the demand occurs. Just let me know any comments/criticism, this tournament is made for all gaming fighters of OK.
Thanks for reading. Please refer back to the thread for updates.
