Can someone with plat send a PM to Gimbal Lock and/or Sofia? I'm going out of town on Thursday, I'll bring my wii u along if I'm still in it but I'd prefer to get that match out of the way beforehand so I know whether I'll need to pack it.

Hey Endgame, you didn't declare Sonic as one of your characters beforehand! I demand a full rematch. You blindsided me. I expected to fight Rosalina, Little Mac, or Mario in Round 2, which is why I picked Ness. No fair.

If you read back many pages that stopped mattering some time ago. Also blindsided? If I used Rosa against Ness it would be much worse. I simply wanted to show I can use other people /shrug.

If I were aware of that, I would have picked someone other than Ness, Sonic, or Mario to deal with your Rosalina. I've used Sonic and Ness exclusively all tornament, but if I could have swapped out Mario for, say, Shulk, I would have done.

We've reached an understanding.

I wish I had someone I could play well enough to want to switch to them

Edit:Why were some matches(or was it just one) going to "3-2"

Were there more ~understandings~ happening?

That was Winner's Finals. All Finals are going best of 5 it seems.

Winners finals, Losers finals, and Grand finals are going to be best of 5 yes.

As far as characters go, The original "pick 3 characters" rule was being played fast and loose from the beginning. If there are no complaints I'd be fine with abolishing it completely, but I understand if people want to finish out the tournament with it.

"Character restriction" rules in tournaments are generally not necessary, I doubt there are very many of us who are proficient enough in more than 3 characters to be competitive anyway. When it comes to counter-picking characters it's not really going to matter in a game this new. Even Melee, a game that has literally been played to death, doesn't have much counter-picking in terms of characters, stages are much more important.

If I were to restart this tournament from the beginning, I think a "only the loser of the previous round can change characters" rule would have been ok, but declaring 3 characters never seemed like a rule we needed. Reksi is currently undefeated and I don't think he switched from Dorf once.

I'm fine with abolishing it, I've been debating selling my soul for power and switching from Lucina to Marth for the remainder of the tournament anyways

In tournaments, the winner must choose his character before the loser can choose his. This allows the winner to work with the picked stage, but it allows the loser to pick a character that beats the winner's.

I mean, just fyi. I doubt any of us are that interested in EVO-style tournament management. The relaxed "just do whatever" attitude we have here is pretty cool too.

This would be great if you could see who other people were picking when playing online :v:

I've got plenty of free time tomorrow and thursday evening, so hopefully that works out for the winner!

Really close matches. That first stage is really bad for Duck Hunt (the statue room anyway) but I managed a lucky off stage can while you were in smash mode. I was at like 161%, couldn't believe that.

2-0 in my favor over Zeuhl, I'll upload them in a bit. Until then, I'm ready to fight the next guy. _Endgame_, I think.

Yeah hopefully we get that match done before I head off, seems doubtful the upper half will catch up any time soon though.

Well I'm not gonna drop you yet. See if you can figure something out, but it's very possible that the upper half of the bracket won't have even caught up to you guys by then.

I understand that holidays are happening, and people are going to travel/have company/generally be unable to play. I was hoping to get the bracket done by Chistmas, but since that isn't looking likely I'm not going to worry too much about matches taking a week or more. We'll see where we are in the few days after Christmas, and if we have to make drops I'll do it then.
