What's new

The absolute RIDICULOUSNESS of tournament settings now...

I think this should be debated properly on the podcast. Then some options should be made available. Like some choices. Then it should to a community vote. Then the results should go to the tournament organisers. Unleast that way everyone can say we come to agreement as a community. Seems like the only way democratic way. In my opinion 3/5. Interactables on. And random everytime (if it existed)

3/5, and if players want to make a fuss during the tournament or hold it up for any reason, the TOs should hand out DQs like candy. There's only so many hours in the day and so much of a tournament has time just wasted by Hollywood players.

That's what happens when you make a stupid fuckin game that strays too much from the fighting game aspect when you add stupid things like interactables that give stage advantages. Injustice Smash Bros. Among Us.

I say both players waggle the stick for 10 seconds and wherever the cursor lands lands that's the stage, repeat every time you select a damn stage.

The problem is that the first person to get their stage chosen has the advantage throughout the whole set. Maybe a default stage if the match goes to a 5th game.

3/5 games

1st stage Random.
Loser picks new character/same stage or new RANDOM stage/same character.

That's what we run up here. No counter-picking stages.

EX Ovi should launch
3/5 is a no-brainer

Stage selection should be 50/50 and each player bans 1 stage for that set and from then on its rematch or losers choice.

Stages do give too many advantages to some characters, so giving everyone the option to ban their worst (or the opponents best) WILL help balance this game.

See, if NRS didn't have gimmick ass stages that could change MU numbers, then we wouldn't worry so much about that.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Anyway, 3/5 sounds good to me.

Everything else? Doesn't matter. 50/50 first and loser picks stage or char seems fine to me.

F, D, F + HP
3/5 - Concrete
First stage Random - Concrete
Loser Picks Stage or Character - Debatable with Random everytime, but Loser's Choice is probably the best overall decision.

stage select 50/50 all time no complicated rules. if youre unlucky on stage select, its a chance to prove your skill.

You can adapt to unblockable interactable traps leading to a vortex? As well as not being able to use any interactables on the stage because teleport hold that.
i can set up unblockable traps too, just not let her do it first. as said, all a matter of skill. like overcoming a bad matchup.

umm blocktraps? maybe you cant randomly throw em across the screen but need a bit more brain. but well, thats the overcoming of bad matchups im talking about.
What block trap do you have that I can't MB b3 or back dash out of? I'm just curious.

And I'm not saying they're unbeatable, just saying that stage highly polarises some matchups that to say you need to learn to adapt is redundant. It's like saying Katana v. Kenish just requires adaptation.

this has nothing to do with stages anymore because you can b3MB or backdash attacks on any stage. and the block traps are nothing specific just most strings~interactable button. just need to space it right.

I like to play bad characters
3/5, 50/50 first stage, loser picks stage OR character.

Keep it simple!

There are good ideas for a "true random" stage, but LBSH, it will get fucked up all day long. People can't even show up to pools on time when they've been posted for days and half the volunteers helping TO's don't know WTF's going on or the rules until they ask a chain of 4 people who are all "not sure bro" till the at least the 4th person.
