If the loser keeps the same character, the loser is free to pick any stage he wants.
If the loser intends to change character, I should be notified so I can assign a new random stage to play on.
Note, if the you win and notice the loser has changed his character, make sure you are aware of what stage I say they should be fighting on, as to prevent the loser from changing his char, and picking whatever stage he wants.
At worst, if there is some confusions, the players may need to reconnect to each other to get proper char/stages going etc. Hopefully it wont get too messy.
Actually, yeah thats probably fine. There isn’t really much at stake right here, and if people are dishonorable bastards and start picking stages with huge advantages for their chars, maybe we can get some determination on broken tactics/stages faster with replays
i think we just need to look at the results subjectively, consider possible solutions to the overpowering tactic in question, and apply them next time (and remember anout lag).
and i dont think there should be any whining when a stage kills you. you, as a brawl pro, should know what to expect and how to minimize these events on each stage.
Indeed. If it turns out items suck, fine, next time we’ll cut them down, and if having any items at all is still bad, we’ll get rid of all of them. If instead having all items is fine for good play, that’s cool too, we’ll keep them.
I’ll do matchups as soon as a I can when i get home. I work 8am until 6-6:30pm every weekday normally, usually later. I’m going to try to bounce out of work today at 6pm, so if traffic allows, I should be home around 6:20ish, and can start working on brackets/matchups/etc. Just stay alert and get on dat IRC near gametime.
For Wi-Fi, the Stage Selecting Option is always grayed out so that it will forever read Choose. Ergo, the Loser Picks option is not available within the Wi-Fi system, even with the more rules option open.
There must be some way to remedy this before the tournament.
No, because unlike the majority of them (apparently there are those on SWF who actually want to test as well), we actually took the time to test it and make sure instead of “lulz it’s just like melee so we know it don’t work and ban it immediately”.
have the loser announce which stage on IRC, and then have both people pick that stage. Itll probably take a heavy toll on the honor system, but we should do fine. Besides, my menus are all in japanese, and i have no idea which would make it so “loser picks”.
hmm, if that wouldnt work, feel free to announce a better way.
