there's a huge amount

there's also a very similar DEEP CONSPIRACY that Sakurai rigged the ballot and didn't give us Ridley or something

Get em outta here.

EDIT how long do you guys think it will take before we learn the bayo matchup and the salt mines of her end?

Anybody here have any experience as a TO?

I'm organizing a local tournament that's coming up in about two weeks, and was wondering if anybody had any pointers.

I'm using challonge, btw.

Online only unfortunately, will that still work?

Ban bayo

have suicide clauses

be very clear about the stagelist

don't ban bayo lmaoooo

Its kinda crazy how I havent seen that many bayo's in tournament as much. Maybe the bayo drama has went down.

Thanks for the tips, man.

The suicide clause advice is actually very helpful.

EDIT: cool little bit of news: Nintendo's sponsoring Apex this year!

oh, i forgot to suggest:

if it's the 7 default neutral stages (BF, FD, T&C, Smashville, as starters, one of DL64/Lylat as a starter with the other as a counterpick, Duck Hunt as a counterpick), the winner should get one ban. if there's 8 or more for whatever reason (if you like to add Castle Siege, Delfino Plaza, Umbra Clock Tower, what-have-you) then go for 2. maybe 3 if you add all three of those.


giving the player two bans with only seven stages is really bad. i had someone pull "anther's has 2 bans!!!" on a friend of mine, so when i met him in bracket and i won game 1, i banned both Battlefield and Duck Hunt, Bayonetta's only bad stages.


DL64/Lylat is preference really. i prefer DL64 as a starter myself but having DL64 as a starter essentially makes a player have to waste both of their bans on Battlefield if they want to get rid of it because they're really similar.

On the topic of rulesets, I would recommend allowing full moveset Miis, even if you don't think anybody will use them.

full moveset, guest miis only are probably what you wanna do
full moveset, any mii if you want to be very lenient
if you want to restrict it for whatever reason go ahead, very few people will probably care

Pretty much all the mii characters are a** so your probably right Kuro. Who uses the Miis as of right now anyway in tournament?

I do. (Swordfighter)

Mii Brawler is actually pretty good if you have helicopter kick, since that kills at like 60% on most other characters

mii brawler is hella good but nobody plays the miis for a bunch of reasons, like the fact that huge gray area for tournaments, or that they're not usable on For Glory
