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. There will probably be “some” controllers that can be provided, but everyone knows that borrowed controllers may not always be reliable or available. Best bet is to bring ur own stuff. We can’t stress that enough. If u don’t, u might be outta luck for getting something reliable, or anything at all as a matter of fact.
For the Tekkenites:
For Tekken DR, if you bring a PS2 controller/Arcade Stick, ALSO bring a converter for the PS2 to PS3 port. PS2 controllers won’t work if you don’t bring a converter. Also, if you bring your own PS3 controller, bring a USB cord w/ it to connect the PS3 controller to the PS3. Finally, remember to turn the wireless connection off on it after your matches are finished. I seem 2 recall issues w/ that in previous tournaments for Tekken DR, so remember to turn the wireless PS3 connection off to it when u r finished w/ ur matches.
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 that 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.). Guilty Gear & Tekken: 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.
T5: DR – Players must agree on a stage. If not, random stage select will be in effect. Winner keeps same character, loser may change. No button-mapping. No Jinpachi.
Guilty Gear – No macros for button-mapping.
ST – (AE Edition) All characters selectable, except no Akuma, Turbo 3
SSBM –
– Double Elimination bracket
– Matches are best of 3, semis and loser’s finals are best of 5, with grand finals best of 7
– 4 stock, 8-minute limit
– Ties broken by lives, then percentage
– Items OFF
– Singles $10/person/Teams $10/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
– Dave’s Stupid Rule: 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.
OTHER STUFF:
Pre registration is available as well. Just post up ur TZ or SRK handle, what city & state ur from, & what games you want to play in, & we’ll put u down on the Pre-Reg List.
There are plenty of places to eat @ Newport on the Levee and drinks are available on location. It’s right next door to a GameWorks and an AMC theatre, so if you don’t feel like practicing or just watching matches, you’re welcome to see a movie or perhaps play some DDR @ GameWorks if you want.
Best bet for parking would be inside the Parking Garage @ Newport on the Levee. Parking there in the morning & afternoon is $3.00 on Saturdays.
