NinSheetMelee: NSM's SSB4 tournament

[Jamaha]

Let's get ready to rumble! NinSheetMusic's first Super Smash Bros tournament is about to begin!

The games played are Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and/or Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, assuming enough players are found for each game.

Rules

Items are set to off.

All characters are available, with the exception of Mii Figher.

No customizations.

Each set is played as a best of three.

All the matches in a set are 3-stock 8-minute matches

If the time runs out, the player with most stocks remaining wins. If stocks are tied, the player with less damage is the winner. No sudden death.

The first match is played on Battlefield. The second match is played on a stage chosen by the loser of the first match. The possible third match is played on a stage selected by the loser of the second match. The stages are chosen from the list below.

Alternatively, the players can come up with another method for choosing the stages, assuming both players agree with the method.

The tournament is played using a double elimination format, meaning that a player is eliminated after two losses. Therefore everyone gets at least two sets. After losing a set, a player is placed in the losers' bracket. The winners of the winners' bracket and losers' bracket then face each other in the grand finals. The losers' bracket winner must win two sets against the winners' bracket winner to become the champion.

After completing a set, one of the players of the set should report the results of the match in this topic. The post should include the character(s) used and the result of the set, using for example the following formatting:

Jamaha (Mario, Dr. Mario) 2
DekuTrombonist (Luigi) 1

Feel free to include any interesting comments so we spectators can pretend we saw the match. You may then proceed to the next set at your own pace, assuming the matchup has already been formed in the bracket.

Schedule

Sign up for the tournament by posting in this topic, explicitly mentioning in which game(s) you want to participate. Make sure you have your NNID (for Wii U tournament) or friend code (for 3DS) in your forum profile.
The deadline for signups is January 2nd OVER.

As the number of matches and people's schedules most likely differ the tournament will be organized over several days. Whenever a new matchup is generated, said people then have 48 hours to play that match and report the result. The tournament ends once all matches have been played (duh).

Prizes

Fun and glory. Possibly something special for the champion to wear in their forum profile.

[Maelstrom]

I'm in, but only for the Wii U version.
I would like to ban Diddy Kong.

[Waddle Bro]

Ooh I'm in for the Wii U version

[Nebbles]

In for Wii U version!

[MaestroUGC]

I will defeat all who come. Wii U.

[DrP]

I wish I could join, but I don't have SSB for Wii U or 3DS.

I can help with brackets and behind the scenes stuff, though!

[Dude]

in for both

[Sebastian]

Hey Jamaha, I like this idea but......could we do it for Mario Kart 8 too?

[mikey]

Wii for me.  Ban shulk or at least his stupid blue thing

[K-NiGhT]

Wii U for me, but if I don't have an ethernet adapter I won't be able to participate. I'll let you know.

[Maelstrom]

Tho shalt not ban Shulk

[KefkaticFanatic]

I wont win but I'll play 3DS for funsies assuming we can get non laggy games going :x

I would say no Mii and no custom character would be a good standard ruleset to adopt.  We should also pick a map pool since nothing but FD is actually not that gud.

[Jamaha]

Yeah, no Miis and no customizations probably simplifies it. No other character bans.

And yeah, I'll come up with a stage list. Try to figure out the fair stages while still getting some variety. For Glory stagelist ("list") is dumb.

[mikey]

should we just do omega modes
I hate dying to stage hazards

[Dudeman]

Ban shulk or at least his stupid blue thing

Hey, would you stop being so sore over that?

IN. WiiU.
