SMBX Community Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament OFFICIAL THREAD (RESULTS!!)

[zioy]

Hey everyone! The SMBX community Smash Ultimate tournament is at hand! Now that interest checks are over and we've confirmed how many people are interested, it is confirmed that this event is indeed happening. Discussion of the event will happen in this thread for general discussion and the SMBX Discord server's #events channel for details, discussing times with your opponent if the scheduled time doesn't work, etc. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, here are the rules:

Rules:

• Double Elimination
• Each set will be Best of 5/First to 3
• 1v1, 3 Stock, 7:00
• Items will be turned off, as well as Final Smash Meter, Spirits, and Stage Hazards
• Sets will be hosted in online Battle Arenas. The players for each set will decide who makes the arena, making sure that the arena follows the rules in this list.
• Stage: Loser's Pick, Legal Stages only (list and procedure down below)

Stages:

Starters

• Battlefield
• Final Destination
• Pokemon Stadium 2
• Smashville
• Lylat Cruise

Counterpicks

• Town and City
• Pokemon Stadium
• Kalos Pokemon League
• Unova Pokemon League
• Yoshi's Story
• Yoshi's Island

Stage-Picking Procedure:

• For the first game of each set, the two players may either agree on a stage from the Starters list, or decide to strike. If striking is chosen, the players choose someone to go first by some form of RNG. Whoever wins will strike ONE stage from the starters list. The other player will then strike TWO stages from the starters list. Following this, the player who struck first will choose a last stage to strike, effectively choosing the remaining stage to be played.
• For subsequent games, the winner of the prior match will ban TWO stages from the entire legal list, and the loser will choose from the remaining Starters AND counterpicks.
• Because of the way Battle Arenas work, it is possible for one player to select a stage that has NOT been picked or may not even be legal in order to troll, or even by accident. If this happens once, restart the game, it is not valid. If this happens again from the same person, they will automatically lose the set.

Times and Dates:

• Because the SMBX community spans many timezones, some sets may be hard to schedule. To try and circumvent this, each round will span a week. Anyone who has not completed their set within the week will be disqualified. Based on the information I have, almost everybody participating has at least one overlapping time per week, so this shouldn't happen. I will try my best to schedule matches for players with overlapping times (given on the interest form), but some people will just have to figure out when to have their set by figuring out a time with their opponent personally.

The Bracket:
The bracket has been seeded mostly randomly, taking into account everyone's self-proclaimed skill level from the interest check. The bracket may be found HERE if you're interested in following the tournament.

Post-Set Procedure:
After completing your set, please report the score to me. The score is simply how many games each player won and who won. This way I can keep the bracket accurate for later analysis.

[MmmMario]

Would show interest if I owned either a Switch or SSBU.

[Waddle]

Sounds like a fun time! I'm in

[FireyPaperMario]

Would enter this SMBX community tournament. But gotta check my schedule first.


[Edit]: I'm in. I'm gonna use my M30 Bluetooth Gamepad for this tourney.

[Eri7]

I would have if i had the online feature but oh well.

[PersonNamedUser]

Would if I had a switch.

[TheNightingale]

Would if I had a switch.

Same

[Taycamgame]

Would if I had a switch.

Same

In my case it's the lack of SSBU. I have a Switch and Nintendo Switch Online Membership, but not a copy of the game.

[MegaDood]

Sounds great! It would be a good way to make friends and have fun, and get experience from playing better players and teaching others alike! I really want to do this, it'll depend on the times it's held though.

[Starshi]

I have everything, so I would like to join this! It does depend on when and if I have time the day it starts.

Fill out the form! That way we can figure out what times to make it so as many people as possible can participate!

Thanks!


I’m gonna be leaving this open until the end of tomorrow, then we’ll decide how we’re going to be running this. It definitely looks like we have enough interest as of now to run it, and most people have at least one or two overlapping times available per week. I’ll keep y’all posted!

[Oshi]

I would love to try this, but unfortunately my living conditions don't really support this very well--I switch between houses because of the fact that my parents are separated, also meaning that I have two different Switches and two different Nintendo accounts. Theoretically, I could use both accounts to participate, but it might lead to some confusion.

Huh why do you have 2 switches? Can't you just bring one of the switches to the other house?

As long as you have Switch Online on both, participating on two different accounts won’t matter.

[Oshi]

Alright then, I'll do this.

[FireyPaperMario]

Stupid question: If the tournament IS gonna happen, then who's gonna broadcast it?!?

[zioy]

Stupid question: If the tournament IS gonna happen, then who's gonna broadcast it?!?

Because of the way the timing is most likely gonna end up working, it’s possible that some of the sets will be streamed and some will not. Once the interest gauging phase is over more details such as broadcasting will be discussed.

Thread updated. More details will be given in the Discord server's #events channel.
