the invitational thread has been archived...since Smash Ultimate is loving awesome, and everyone loves it, we should organize a tourney for it. smash is a little weird though bc we need to agree on a specific ruleset...here's my proposal

- 1v1
- 2 Stocks
- 4 minutes
- No Items
- Battlefield Random
- Best of 3
- Wobbling is legal
- Freezing and infinite stalling are not legal.

Thoughts? Interest? I know Smash heads usually go for a small list of allowable stages instead of using the Battlefield variants, so if someone pitches a list we could use that. And for those who want to join, would next weekend work? I lean Sundays on these bc its when most people are around to do it. ill make a sign up page once we decide the rules.

Smash Hype!

1v1 no items is the most shameful way to play this game

my favorite is 2v2 but idk if we would have enough people to fill a bracket.

im gonna come clean...I have no clue what Wobbling or Freezing mean. I'm going to guess Freezing is to run out the time

I changed my mind I just had to watch 80 seconds of 1v1 at the tail end of a 2v2 match and it made me want to blow my balls off with a 12 gauge. The tourney is cancelled.

Make it a 8 player FFA and the last two players have to turn the game off and play ST.

This would be cool but you can't do online 8 player games

Depends on what day we host, according to bylines from the Dalai Lama of Smash.

Thinking 2v2 would be the most fun, even if the tourney would be shorter.

There's no easy way to randomize teams so people should make their own teams ahead of time, which is more fun anyway.

I hope I unlock Ryu by the end of the week.

If you want to rush Ryu you can clear classic mode with Yoshi, then Lucario, then Marth.

Just had to walk away from the latest Wormstream - what I usually see as some truly awesome Smash based community content building, has been taken over by a virulent disgust for the IZ Ultimate Invitational. I'm fairly disappointed in the recent tone and the disciplinary committee may have to review the archive tomorrow.

It's also a good storyline I think if Bob and EE team up and lose. So there's narrative possibilities to consider.

Been a lot of confusion about this so I'll just leave this here to clear the air about rules.

Banned glitches:[edit]
Freeze Glitch
Yo-yo glitch (discretion of tournament organizer)
Name Entry glitch and its derivatives
Soul breaker Glitch
Banned Stalling Techniques:[edit]
Repeated rising Pound
Repeated Peach Bomber on a wall
Luigi Ladder
N.B. The rising pound and Peach Bomber on the wall are only banned if they are being used to stall. Using them to recover is acceptable.
Other techniques[edit]
Wobbling (discretion of tournament organizer)
