Hype.
So here's the deal. The plan is to hold a Smash tourney. For the 3DS, beginning on October 19, and entries will close on October 16.
I'm planning to keep it singles. For ease of running the first SIA tourney.
The rules are simple:
3 stocks.
No items.
Best 2/3.
Counter-picks are in effect.*
6 minute timer.
No custom characters / movesets.**
If we reach a minimum of 8 players, double elimination bracket will be in effect.
* Counter-picks are simple. Lets say your opponent wins the first round. You then get to pick the next legal stage to play on. If it is tied 1-1, both players strike out stages one by one. Both players take turns eliminating a stage one by one till its down to two choices, then the player who's turn it is picks which stage the final round takes place on between the two stages.
** This one is negotiable. I'd prefer to keep it out for the sake of a better competitive atmosphere, and so players actually know how to fight each other, but if theres enough requests, this rule will probably change. If you wish to use the various Mii fighters, just use their default movesets.
Legal Stages:
Final Destination
Battlefield
Yoshi's Island
Lumiose City
As for how matches are to be carried out, starting on the 19th, players will schedule all their matches with their opponents through the course of the week. I will update the bracket every time someone completes a match, so go at the fastest pace you can if you wish. This is due to everyone having varied schedules, and a small turnout.
Finally, the format in which to enter:
3DS Name:
Friend Code:
I'm hoping to be able to offer up a prize of some sort. Maybe a signature or some other art for the winner maybe. If anyone else wants to throw a prize into the ring, be it some art, a fan-fic written for the winning player if someone is willing to write, maybe even an eshop card, psn card, etc, let me know.
And last but not least, if you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask me. I'll do my best to answer any and all questions. I'm open to most suggestions too, of course. :3
