Our first online tournament! January 3rd: Cross Platform Crackdown!

More entries nice! Looks Like Wft amiibo is a go!

Still wondering about the prize for 3DS should it get off the ground.

lol… Please. I’m more worried about that Marth than I am of punk ass Mega Boy.

When’s this thing supposed to start? 9pm?

9PM EST

Also, I’m gonna leave this open until I wake up in about 8 hours for any of the Weast Coast peeps who haven’t signed up yet. I’ll make a post with the final tally then

Sign me up if its not too late. NNID is Rabidus_Unicorn

I’m hoping the tourney doesn’t run too long. I still gotta work Saturday :(.

ooohh i get a freebie in the wii u bracket lol. I hope @phantom wins cuz hes not beating me after lol

i would like to join but i gotta work on the 3rd from 2-10

Today’s the big day everyone. The tournament for the coveted Wii Fit Trainer Amiibo begins in less than 12 hours

I want to see everyone in the matchmaking IRC no later than 9:15 PM EST.

IF YOU ARE NOT PRESENT WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF THE START OF THE TOURNAMENT YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.

The IRC for those of you who do not know is located Here

A quick reminder of the rules will be given at 9:15. The tournament will begin shortly thereafter.

We cannot effectively send matches for proof I am afraid, so you are not inclined to save them for that purpose. Given this, if there is a dispute regarding a win and it is not settled promptly, BOTH CONTESTANTS WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.

When you start the first of the Best of 3, you will have had to already made sure that your Random Stage Select is limited to the neutral options. I believe that this random only kicks in online if both players choose Random: If only one person chooses Random it counts as a forfeiture of their stage pick. I will let you know for sure later.

I will be in the IRC all day. Please stop by to ask me any questions

We will begin with the Smash 3DS tournament at 9:30, finish that, then start the Wii U tournament shortly after 3DS finishes. THOSE THAT ENTERED WII U WILL STILL NEED TO BE HERE AT 9:15 TO HEAR THE RULES. If you want to leave and wait for your tournament, fine, but since we have no way of effectively contacting you, you might miss your window and be disqualified.

lol good luck

Why the fuck is Find Mii legal, but Gerudo Valley and Coneria are banned?!? How is a stage with random power-ups and de-buffs legal, but those aren’t?

Golden Plains is more fair than Find Mii… At least you have to earn that power up…

Kongo Jungle is not a neutral… that stage has caused me more problems than all of Ridley and Metal Face combined… and Luigi’s is banned, but coward’s paradise Jungle Hijinx is a counter-pick?

UNACCEPTABLE.

Yea… Find Mii gotta go.

I’ve elaborated very clearly my stance on the stages I banned. Most have Cave of life or Camping problems.

But I’ll quickly sum up why Corneria and Gerudo are gone.

Corneria is a campy dream as well as having stupid close borders

Gerudo is the opposite, with ginormous borders. I let Torimer’s ride because it’s not as disruptive and doesn’t have a giant pit in the middle or is a walk off.

Jungle Hijinx I’ll give you because it’s a leftover I meant to take out but didn’t.

Also, why are you both raising this shit now, THE DAY OF THE TOURNAMENT. These have been up for over two weeks. Speak sooner

I just joined, so I get immunity :innocent:.

You’re free to yell at Po, though lol.

kongo jungle 64 is almost a perfectly neutral stage…your character’s are big enough now that the size isn’t anything to worry about

jeezus, i think you went too lenient on the stage choices. we want to make the tournament shorter, not longer

like holy dear god, some of these stages choices are really bad that even po is disagreeing with some of them

i still wouldn’t separate wily’s omega from the other omega stages, they’re all CP, just announce the one you want to use but anyways

is mine more conservative than yours? yea but it’s not bat shit crazy. you ban some stages for circle camping but not others which have a worse problem with circle camping (tomodachi life and boxing ring are among them). some stages offer power-ups (find mii) or have a crazy cave of life (mario circuit). i know we want to have as expansive of a list of stages but have some control. don’t throw everything into the bag at once, ease us into it. some of these stages are out of wack though (pac maze and pictochat 2 are terrible for tournament settings)

you also did not discuss the stage list for the tournament at all in this thread which is why some of us are going to be a bit perturbed

still wasn’t discussed all that much

And who’s fault is that?
