[Wii] Super Smash Bros. Brawl Tournament Discussion

I wouldn't mind arranging the round robin stuff for "preliminations" before we get to the clan stuff. I.E. determining the top players. (since it was my idea...figure it'd be easy since everything is planned out in my mind)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well..the main request I have is that who ever wants to enter pm either you or me so we know whats going on

There's nowhere I can't reach.

And I finally got all the stages, so now I can throw in my two cents on 75m:

75m - I hate this fucking stage. That spring bouncing around doesn't help either. BANHAMMER ON THIS STAGE.

Awww..too scared about getting up+smashed into the spring? LoL

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

Actually, from what I've seen/experienced it only happens when DK appears out of the background

How ya doing, buddy?

This is one of the reasons I think it should be banned.

The last thing we'd need is two people both at 150% sitting and waiting for ages.

Then again that is what the time limit is for

I was speaking idiomatically.

I agree...Heres what I'm thinking...if we want to record everything

Best out of 3
3 stock - 3 minute matches
Random Stage
All Items on (Low setting)

If no recording

4 stock 8 minute match.
Random Stages
All Items on (Low)


Also since we're GFF and not a group of tourney hunters, why not just leave all the stages on...It'll let us use our strategies a bit more and if people want to camp, then thats their problem.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well, the way I plan on running the Round Robin..the person would have to do a HELL of a lot of camping.

Buuuuuut since we're having clans(we are still making them right?) and we're discussing stages...what if each clan owns rights to a particular set of stages. If another clan wants a stage they dont have they can challenge the owner by fighting on it. Maybe eventually "capturing" all the stages determines which clan wins.
Kinda destroys the tourny ladder...but...just an idea.
If you really wanted to go crazy you could make a map so only bordering stages can be attacked. This way there can be a little more interaction between clan mates, deciding which stages to attack, who to defend. Mmm strategy.

I actually think with more refinement it could work.

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

Basically the way I want to run the round robin is by first getting everyone to sign up for the tournament.

I'll refine this more tomorrow or something

Because people will probably want to camp or use certain strategies they can, I want to basically assign a point value

I.E. if its a 3 stock 3 minute match it'll work for each person
so for example
0 K.O.'s = 0 points
1 K.O.'s = 1 point
2 K.O.'s = 2 points
3 K.O.'s (Victory) = 5 points.

This way its not a "you lose you get nothing" sort of thing. This way someone can still possibly win even if they got screwed because of stage hazards.

But I also want it so that everyone can face one another. With the top X people (X being determined after we find out how many people enter the tournament)

But do we want to be able to record the matches as well? I wouldn't mind being able to watch all the matches after they happen

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I so couldn't help saying this...

We're so going to be like the fucking NBA lol.


But I kind of like the idea of a draft or something. I dunno. First we gotta see how many people would be down for this whole thing

There's nowhere I can't reach.

alright, this is the way I see it.

We're not following smashboards equation for tournaments. From what I understand, we want to have a fun and insane tournament that will be fun for all and non restricting.

If you do not like the rules we're discussing give you're input and don't start comparing this idea we're doing to other tournament rules or whatever.

If you don't want to discuss it, click your back button.

The only stage I think should be banned is Mario Bros. Now if you could "float" through the floors I wouldn't be so against it.

Most amazing jew boots

I would propose this...for the prelims/round robin I'd say all stages on, all items on Low. You'll get to pick stages, so keep that in mind with your character. And I want to possibly do it best of 3 so that you can't blame the stage on the loss.

Then items... Stages... The whole kit and kaboodle.

LoL Sounds like you're a bit bitchy chaotic lol.

But I seriously don't even remember what people want anymore

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, I would like to see 3 lives 3 minutes (and i did mention it would be a best of 3 matches anyways) because that way people cant go "hurhurhur!!! The stage is why i lost"

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well, the online matches I've played with it went to about 5 minutes having 4 people in there with 5 stock...so if you think about it...it could actually last longer depending on the strategies used.

I also created the (3 stock/3 min(best of 3)) idea with the factor that it'll make people go with full force. If they wanna KO once then run thats there call (which is why I have the point set up that I did. But I can also adapt it over to the 4/8 if it comes down to that

I don't see how it gets any more simple than that.

Seriously, you guys keep saying "keep it simple" and all, but you also keep adding (interesting but undoubtedly complicating) ideas like "rule cards" or whatever. Which is it gonna be?

Because maybe there is a person in Team B who we can call Player Z who wants to play on Stage Y instead of stage X but the rest of the people, Player J, Player K and Player L don't like stage Y because Stage X is a better stage than stage Y while Player Z is extremely good at Stage Y and has a great strategy to use against Team A that want to play on stage X.

Or in other words, we can keep it simple, but make it interesting by adding our little rule cards in...which could make it interesting say one card is Items on high but the only one allowed are bob-ombs

How ya doing, buddy?

I had no intention of my example being real.

But we are making this fun and innovative. We were thinking that the rule cards don't have to explicitly ban a certain thing, but could instead say "This stage gets reopened" or something of the nature.

I guess the word "rule" can be a bit constricting eh? How about..."Weekly requirement" cards lol

Jam it back in, in the dark.
