After how much time it’s taken the Pokémon Gym to get started I think we should get ready for Super Smash Bros Brawl now and not later. So I’m making this topic to sort out the first Tournament now to get ready for it. So lets talk about it and share ideas so we can finalise the rules of the first one.

So…

Will it be 2 player 1 on 1 or a 4 player All on All?
Which items, if any, will be used?
Will it be timed or a stock match?
Which Stage will be used? A random one or the same one for every fight?
How long after the game is out should we be aiming to get it started?
What other rules should we use?
Will there be a prize?

Please lets start doing this now and not later!

For some of those things it might be easier to find out what we can and can't alter online first. Maybe items are always on or something. Plus we probably don't know about a lot of the stages yet.

If there is to be a prize, I think that it should be a userbar or a sig at most to be honest.

Well we all need atleast 1-3 days of play time. (When I and Most people would of completed it)

But i think we should create NoE2 Stages. (Because of the Stage Builder)
We Opt people to make a stage for the game, if they want to.

That was an idea for later Tournaments.. for the First Tournaments i think we should set it out like this..

Players: 4
Items: None
Match Type: 5 - 10 Minutes Time Match
Stage: Random
Rules: No Unlockable Characters
Prize: A Custom made Stage?

I think we should just go with the idea that online mode will be the same set up as Melee's multi-player.

Ok then. I'll just yoink WeirdAdz' layout thingy foir a sec if I may.

Players: 4.
Items: None.
Match Type: Stock, 5 Lives.
Stage: Random.
Other Rules: None.
Prize: None at first, maybe a userbar or sig for larger tournaments.

EDIT: Actually, maybe we could have different rules for different tournaments. :p Items can sometimes be fun, and sometimes a 1 on 1 is just more intense. ^_^

I would say 1 on 1 if the prize is something BIG

Yes, I can always give out a Pokemon if needed.

Custom NoE2 Stages is a must though :)

If noone is going to do it with me, ill just do it alone :p

Also with Items i have always hated them.
I have taken my mates damage to 200% many times without knocking them out, and then they get a stupid Heart Container or a Pokeball knocking me out :(

I already have an idea (remember, its just an idea for now!) for a Tournament, but I don’t want it to be the first one and I’ll run it.

4 Player Free for All but everyone has to play as a Pokémon or the Trainer
On Pokémon Stadium 2 Stage
PokeBalls only set to high, no other items
10 Life Stock
Prize: An Event Pokemon.

lol i knew you would do something like that.

Maybe we could do Themes?
Sounds stupid..

Link Tournament..

Players: 4
Items: None
Match Type: Stock Maths - 3 Lives
Stage: The Temple Stage (Melee Stage) or Bridge of Eldin
Rules: Characters - Link or Zelda


Kirby Tournament..

Players: 4
Items: None
Match Type: Stock Maths - 5 Lives
Stage: Dreamland (Melee Stage) or Battleship Halberd
Rules: Characters - Kirby, King Dedede, Metaknight

I think WeirdAdz you'll agree that we could make a theme tournament for all of the games. I do think our first one should be a non themed one.

I was going to write more :p But i got tired..

I think this should be the first tournament.

Players: 4
Items: None (Shows peoples true strength)
Match Type: 5 - 10 Minutes Time Match (Decent length)
Stage: Random
Rules: No Unlockable Characters (This is because not many people will have Unlocked them all yet)
Prize:

Hmm...
Seems cool! ^_^

How about...

Third Party Tournament

Players : Four player Free-for all
Items : All but Smash Balls (But turned to Very Low)
Match Type : 5-10 minutes (Decent length)
Stage : A custom stage made by the Host for the tournament.
Other Rules : Characters : Solid Snake, Sonic and any other third party characters that may be added.
Prize : Userbar/Avatar etc.

The way we are going we are goin to have a tournament everyother day! Lets just worry about the first one for now and agree on the rules of it.

Want me to add a poll and move all suggestions into your post Gary?

If you want.

Sorted. ^_^

Start voting.

EDIT : I'll remove the poll. We may as well make a deadline for ideas.
Either A : 15 ideas.
or B : End of next week.

I was going to vote for Takoa's suggestion. That seems to be fair enough. The others seem to be a bit more restricted.

We're making a poll for this?
Ok, well here's another idea then.

Players: 4.
Items: All, set on a medium/low appearance rate.
Match Type: Stock, 10 Lives.
Stage: Random.
Other Rules: None.
Prize: Pride.

I'll add it into the first post. ^_^

Actually, I prefer one on ones, so I may as well make one of my own.

Players: 2
Items: All (medium appearance)
Match Type: Stock, 5 lives
Stage: Random
Other Rules: None
Prize: Sig/userbar made by me. Or anyone, really.

One on ones can be so intense sometimes. ^_^ Especially when both players are equal or close in Smash Bros skill. :p I love playing against people who are as good as me! :D

One on ones are great but I think the first Tourament should be a 4 Player all on all.

I have another idea: Tag Teams.

For this to work people will have to be honest.

it will be 2 on 2 but only 1 from each team can fight at the time. At anytime you can go to your team mate and tag them in by touching them, much like on how it works in westling.

Hmm... That could be an interesting idea. ^_^ Could be pretty fun.

lol, that would be hilarious.

You would have to make people have the speach Tag set to one of the Direction Taunt Buttons though.

Agreed. xD

Tag team matches eh...

Players : 4, 2 on 2
Items: Just melee items (Close combat items)
Match Type: Time 5-10 mins
Stage: Random
Other Rules: Both people must play for their teams.
Prize: Sig/userbar

Today's Site update was about online modes. Useing that page we can make the first tourament easily now.
