You could probably tell Miles about it just so he could clear it up with the mods. Since he's participating in this whole thing, he'll understand.

FELIPE NO

As I mentioned earlier, whoever you're matched up against, you have that week to assign a date and time on when you can battle. I'm aware that people have odd hours to deal with, so the week long period should be enough time to satisfy clan matches.

As I said, I don't want clans discriminating just by character. Otherwise, your team gets predictable and could easily be countered if you know what characters they're gonna choose already. I, more or less, just want a band of people teamed up together competing for the same purpose. For all I care, your clan could be called Team Star Fox and your main could be Wario or Jigglypuff.

And what do you guys think of regional captains? The US is split up into West Coast, Central, and East Coast, and everywhere else in the world evens out the final division.

If we plan to make eight clans in total, two people fight for captain positions on the West, two people fight for Central, two people fight for the East... And if it's just Krel and Infernal getting the games overseas... Then I guess those two are already captains. (I dunno where anyone is on this board. )

Afterwards, regardless of where you are, you can get chosen by any of the clan captains to join their team.

... Something like that.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Bonsly is pretty useful. You just have to chuck it at your opponent and should you connect...

*WOOSH!!

And I was browsing around BrawlCentral to see if anything had been updated, I rememberd they had a tournament going on and checking the thread, I noticed they had the Neutral Stage selection and the Counter Stages, the list itself is pretty good:

Netural Legal Stages (6)
Battlefield
Final Destination
Lylat Cruise
Smashville
Yoshi's Island
Pokémon Stadium

Counterpicks (17)
Frigate Orpheon
Mushroomy Kingdom (Overworld/Underworld)
Delfino Plaza
Luigi's Mansion
Battleship Halberd
Castle Siege
The Summit
Mario Circuit
Port Town Aero Dive
Corneria
Shadow Moses Island
Green Greens
Jungle Japes
Rainbow Ride
Brinstar
Electroplankton
Green Hill Zone
Pokémon Stadium 2
Skyworld
Onett
Yoshi's Island (Melee)

This means, the remaining stages are banned:

Banned (11)
Rumble Falls
Norfair
Spear Pillar
Wario Ware
Distant Planet
75M
Mario Bros.
Flatzone 2
Pictochat
Hyrule Temple
Big Blue

I could understand why WarioWare is a banned stage, Pictochat, not as much. I don't get why the Great Sea isn't a banned stage... That fish is fucking annoying... I also don't understand why Norfair is banned, but not Brinstar... They're pretty much the same thing.

Otherwise, what do you guys think of this list? For our tournament, we could pretty much customize this the way we want so everyone is happy. The only one I'd remove from the banned list is Pictochat.

(Not sure if any are missing from the list. If there's anything I missed)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Edit: So, does that mean any tourney you guys set up and run has to follow "standard" tourney rules or something? Are we really going to justify that way of thinking and playing? I ain't running this shit, so it's an honest question here.

I'm not expecting anyone to conform to the tournament standards or anything, as I've said this whole time, I'm just posting up the information I know, so feel free to disagree with it. We don't have to rule out any of their banned stages from our tournament, it's why I'm popping up these questions early. If you disagree with it, and if everyone is alright with it, we add it to the stages we're allowed to choose when the tournament happens and we know what's available to us. We could take the time right now to set up a GFF Standard Set of Rules for tournaments we run here. It's pretty much what I'm trying to get at here.

I don't follow the tourney format too hard either when facing my friends or anything, but I do agree with some of the crap they're saying. I'm not even remotely good enough to participate in the "hardcore" tournaments, so I disagree with some stuff here and there too.

I don't think Norfair, Pictochat, or Spear Pillar should be banned from our tournament. I personally like those stages and hope to fight people there.

Supposedly their arguements for those banned stages:

Norfair: The lava. Ow, it hurts. It hurt in Brinstar also, I don't see how this is any different.

Pictochat: What's drawn in the background is completely random, the stage could quickly change the momentum of a match.

Spear Pillar: All the effects that happen on stage. Dialga's Hyper Beam, Palkia flipping the stage upside down... That stuff.

I personally don't care about their arguments on it since it's something that could easily be overcome with constant practice.

And I just want to make sure everyone is alright with having 4 stock, 8 minutes for the battles (this is probably the third time I've asked also). Decent amount of lives to go by and the time limit assures that nothing goes on too long and prevents people from doing some hardcore camping.

Feel free to disagree with anything I say regarding the tournament and the clans. I want to make sure everyone is satisfied before we even start running one.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

In there, ask the participants what they think and try to come up with something from scratch instead of basing it on some arbitrary rule set that some people think is the proper way of playing. Just ignore every damn thing you hear from other places, and instead take discussions or votes from those who will be participating.

That way, I imagine the most fun will be had by those who are playing. It just doesn't make sense to me that you'd start with a base idea from a group of folks that many people have devoted pages and pages of these threads to throughout their iterations to post "gee, tourneyfags are do dummmmmmmb, lol items, fox only, final meme recycling" about.

That I'll go and do.

Every time Bonsly pops out, I'm usually rushing towards him to throw at someone. I'll do anything for an easy KO.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

New Pork City is missing from that list (I think). I imagine they'd want to ban that one too, though, on account of being GINORMOUS.

I wouldn't want to fight there regardless anyway since it is GINORMOUS. I hate big arenas anyway. <_< Banhammer on the stage.

Counterpick. Tourneyfags are cool with the stage.

Also, tournament discussion: Here.

Just so we don't spam up this thread with constant disagreement of the tourneyfag set of rules.

As for the Screenshot of the Week idea, we start on Sunday? You have until next Friday to submit a screenshot, and we vote on the weekends?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

We already talked about this before Brawl came out... I believe Lukage has a Team Speak server we could use to chat with each other.

I'll add you in the morning, Cheeze.

Today's Update: Ganondorf

Even Sakurai is cracking on Ganon for not using his sword.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Finally, I managed to unlock every stage and complete a couple more challenges... Especially that Level 2 Target Smash in under 19 seconds? I didn't realize how many items I had to use for it. But Target mode is a bitch within itself. Anyone got a video on how you can complete Level 4 within that challenge time limit?

Awesome av/sig, Acer. Samus and Pikachu - BFF <3

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's never as easy as it looks. This dude just gets lucky that they're not striking back. Every time I attempt something like that, I always end up getting smacked out of the stage.

FELIPE NO

They're always pursuing you if you go off the edge... I'll try that Jigglypuff thing though. o_o

Edit: FINALLY. 11 KOs is good enough for me in Cruel Brawl. I'm never going back to that mode again.

Also, today's update: Pokemon Encyclopedia. Speaking of which, anyone see Manaphy yet?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Nonetheless it's still tricky as hell to beat it with everyone. Everyone and their mother knows that some characters have better advantages over these bosses (Lucario [Dair], Lucas [Dair], Toon Link [Dair]...), while others have NOTHING going for them.

This is gonna suck. T_T

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Why not use his Dair? It's much more effective. o_o

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The home run ones aren't that bad. You could probably just settle for hitting it at 0% and then walking away.

The highest you need to reach is about 37,500 feet, I believe.

I did all of the Target test ones, and the 100 Man Brawl is gonna be a bitch.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh fuck.

You could, but I don't think it would affect anything. I believe most of these challenges are Solo Records.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Just checked out that Ganon/Ice Climbers video. Holy crap. Me and my friend only managed to max out around 3000 with the twin Yoshi method.

Edit: And just to see the support of the other idea, I wanna start the Screenshot of the Week Contest pretty soon.

You have until next Thursday to submit a screenshot with some witty caption to me. On Friday, I'll post up a thread with the screenshots, and we vote until Sunday. The submitter of the screenshot won't be revealed until that Sunday.

Sound good?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Late as hell, but...

Today's Updates: Smash Taunts

Basically the secret taunts in Corneria, Lylat Cruise, and Shadow Moses Island.

FELIPE NO

And playing it alone.

Shit ain't easy though. I tried running it through Normal with Wolf. Only got 5 bosses killed before I lost.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Oh, phew... That's a relief.

But it's still gonna be a drag to go off and beat it with everyone.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh, and here's my Smash Card:

Nice card... Now I gotta come up with something elaborate. o_o

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I wanted to main WW Link but my sister said NOOOOOOOOOOOO when I told her, so Lucario it must be :P

I have a template saved if you guys want it:

I'll probably change the font becuase Arial sucks on something that could fancier, but I'll probably make it later.

Additional Spam:
Today's Update: Peach's Special Moves and SSE: The Great Maze

Nothing special about either. It does show the picture of the sickly Turnip though, so you know what to look for. The Great Maze just explains what it is. <_<

Don't worry about it anymore... I'm trying not to make it so serious since it's driving people away. The intent of the tournament was supposed to be pure Brawl fun, but ideas clash and I finally decided on a rule set that would make everyone happy, even if I'm against it myself.

So there are no limits in this tournament right now. I still don't see why people still have some sort of problem with it. o_o

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

My question is, how would you know who chose random characters over a Wi-Fi match?

Is no one ever happy with any decisions I make regarding the tournament? I get shit at for trying to ban stages, and I'm still getting shit for allowing all stages.

What exactly do I need to do to get you people to sign up? I'm serious at this point. It's obvious people still aren't fucking happy with this whole tournament, and everyone's sense of fairness is still pretty opinionated. So honestly, tell me in the Tournament Discussion thread, because according to wvlfpvp, there's still a case of faggotry residing there. You people pressure me to get it started when I still need more people to sign up for it.

So... I'D LIKE TO FUCKING KNOW WHAT'S STILL WRONG WITH THIS TOURNAMENT THAT'S PREVENTING PEOPLE FROM SIGNING UP. I'M OPEN TO IDEAS.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Very simple not not overly complicated.

That's exactly what it is though. I do have items on and stages are all available. I have NO idea where people are getting the impression that there are still some crazy rules being used for this. I dropped them at page five. o_o

The timer is just there just so no match drags on too long and we don't have to have some complaint story that no one made a move in New Pork City after 20 minutes. People are allowed to choose their own stage and whatever character they feel they could use to win that certain match. It would kinda suck sticking with the same one. Not even tourneyfags in Pro Tournaments do that.

If people wanna just do a normal tournament, that's perfectly fine with me. I understand that everyone is in a state of confusion after the whole tourneyfag debate back in the discussion thread. I'll close up the discussion thread, and ask Slash to close up the sign-up thread, create a new one for just so we could have March Smashness before March ends and there will be no tournament/league talk involved. Just a normal, "let's duke it out" tournament where everyone could have fun. The rules will be:

4 stock, 8 minutes
All Items On - Low
All Stages

No debates saying that this is unfair either. I just want to have a Smash tournament where people could have fun, since that was my original intention of this whole thing anyway. Either you sign up, or you don't. I'll think of some sort of cut-off date so we can get it started.

And I understand about lag also, I'm willing to take that risk.

Oh, and sprout, if you'd add me, I'm prolly gonna be on tonight.

Meh, don't worry about it anymore. I'll put the complicated one off for a while. Normal tournament occuring now. o_o

FELIPE NO
