To keep things fun and fair for everyone, we will be playing with Competitive Gentlemen's Rules! Breaking the rules will result in a game loss, and if serious enough or repeated, a disqualification.
Rules:
1) All rounds are best 2 out of 3. You must truthfully report to the tournament organizer who won each round.
2) 3 stocks per game and the timer must be set to 6 minutes.
3) All stage hazards must be tured off.
4) NO SWEARING or saying mean/crude things to your opponent.
5) NO EATING OR DRINKING by the TVs or when you are holding a controller. Make sure you wash your hands with soap and water before picking up a controller.
6) NO TALKING when playing or nearby people who are playing, since it can distract players.
7) NO TAUNTING because it is rude and can make opponents feel bad.
8) NO ITEMS except for Pokeballs and Smash Balls, which must be set to medium (Masterballs are too overpowered and not allowed).
9) These stages are allowed:
Final Destination, Battlefield, Big Battlefield, Smashville, Town & City, Pokemon Stadium 2, Duck Hunt, Lylat Cruise, Skyworld, Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland, Umbra Clock Tower, Midgar, Reset Bomb Forest, Peach's Castle
10) NO SPIKING OR GIMPING. If a player falls off the stage, you must wait for them to recover before you continue fighting. Following them off the stage to attack or scare them away is unfair and not allowed.
11) NO CHARACTER SWITCHING. You must decide what character to play at the beginning of the tournament and you are not allowed to switch during the tournament.
12) NO DIRECTIONAL AIRDODGING. This is a bad ability that can be used for unfair things like wavedashing and avoiding attacks that deserve to hit. Since its easy to do this without meaning to, there will be a three-strike system: If you airdodge in a direction more than three times, or a
tournament organizer judges that you are doing it intentionally, you will be disqualified. Normal airdodging is okay.
13) These characters are banned:
I) ALL ECHO FIGHTERS (Dark Samus, Daisy, Pichu, Dr. Mario, Lucina, Dark Pit, Lucas, Young Link, Ken, Richter) because they can be confusing to opponents and don't add anything to the game.
II) BAYONETTA because she is too good.
III) CHROM because he is so hard to unlock so many players might not be used to playing as/against him.
IV) MR. GAME & WATCH because he is too hard to see and the randomness of his side-B ruins the competitiveness.
V) DUCK HUNT because he just spams and is not fun to play against (Sorry Kyle).
VI) POKEMON TRAINER because you aren't allowed to switch characters and playing 3 characters would be unfair. Also it can be confusing with Pokeballs which Pokemon is your opponent.
14) These moves are banned:
I) ALL COUNTER ATTACKS (Down-B) because they are unfun and unfair.
II) SNAKE'S SIDE-B because It is impossible to avoid and unfair.
III) ISABELLE'S SIDE B because it is annoying and unfair.
IV) SHULK'S B (Monado) because it changes his stats and basically makes him a different character, which counts as character switching and is not allowed.
V) GRENINJA'S SIDE-B because it lets you teleport which is way too good and can be used to unfairly sneak up to/away from your opponent.
VI) ALL UP B MOVES ON-STAGE because up-B moves are for recovering ONLY and using them to hit/avoid your opponent is not how they are supposed to be used.
15) NO SPAMMING PROJECTILES/SMASH ATTACKS, Spamming is not fun and not competitive. You are only allowed to use 15 projectiles and 15 smash attacks in a single game. Using more will result in an immediate game loss.
16) NO COMPLAINING ABOUT THE RULES (this includes YOU Kyle). The rules are here to make it a fun and fair competitive experience for everyone. If you don't like them, you don't have to enter but good luck finding a tournament that DOESNT use competitive rules.
Thanks for your interest and I hope you enter! I'm looking forward to having a fun time with everyone :)
