- At the beginning of a set, each player may strike 2 stages from the available 11. Of these, only 1 can be from the 4 Neutrals listed above. You may however choose to strike 2 counterpick stages.

- 1st match, characters are chosen with double blind picks. After that, advanced slob picks- Loser of 1st match pick stages, the winner of the 1st match picks character, then loser of 1st match picks character. Continue this as necessary until the set reaches completion. Standard sets are best of 3, finals or semi-fianls are left to the discretion of the tournament host, although best of 5 is recommended for time constraints.

- All forms of stalling are banned. Stalling- The act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. This includes MK infinite cape, excessive edge stalling, or any form of stalling under the stage (DK spin, sonic charge B, snake infinite down B teching, etc).

- Any suicide KOs on the final stock resulting in sudden death will result in a loss for the user of this tactic. If it would be a suicide KO and the match screen shows a decisive winner, go with that instead. A Bowsercide final KO results in a win for the Bowser player.

- If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage. In the event of a sudden death, both players are to suicide IMMEDIATELY. No fighting with bombs @ 300. At the results screen, regardless of what the screen says, the player with the higher DAMAGE TAKEN is the loser. No exceptions. In the result of a tie, the match will be discarded and played over, same characters and stage. For teams, if this should ever happen, add the damage taken instead for both teams.

- Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.

This tournament is BULLSHIT!! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif

Wobbling is banned?!?! C'mon!!! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

 

I was asked to post this here by the guy who owns Waba Game, the place where the tournament is being held. I'm really not much more than a messenger. Atlanta is trying to get a tournament scene for Virtua Fighter started, and I figured here would be a better place than any to get the word around.

 

Glad I don't play Smash. Too many rules. Fighting on a stage is banned. Using my left pinky finger is banned. Playing the game upside-down is banned. Maybe I could try playing in the shower. I suppose if I multiply the final damage percent taken in a vacuum by cos(X) and then divide by 5! and use the distributive property to solve for Y cubed, I could negate for water damage from the condensation of illegal punch bowls.

Playing Smash does prepare me for the complexities of life, I imagine. I'd rather use KNEE.

 

Cripes, for a minute I thought "Wobbling" was a member of this forum that got banned for promoting crap tourneys /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif I don't play Smash Bros. What is this uber technique? I'll probably just google it later when I'm bored... =)

In terms of getting high level players that frequent VFDC to your event, you picked a bad weekend... but maybe some of the Florida guys might make the trip.

 

Re: wobbling
It's a balls-easy infinite with the Ice Climbers. It's...like, literally two buttons repeated ad infinitum. There was a row over it being banned, but honestly, I think it's merited.
Also, again, I'm not the person who organized this tournament. I'm just a messenger and a very devout follower of the venue because of what it's done for the community.

 

I just started playing VF5 and I'm excited to meet other people who play it.

 

Just for the records and such, can I get a head count of anyone who might be attending to play Virtua Fighter? That would be great.
