MarioWiki:Anniversary

[edit] Super Smash Bros. Brawl

A Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament will be taking place during the anniversary. Sign-up is welcome to anyone, although it is recommended that contestants are at least good enough to beat a level 9 computer.

The banned stages list:

• Rumble Falls [match will constantly be disrupted by moving stage; aerial attacks are given a lot more priority here]
• Spear Pillar [too many hazards]
• WarioWare (SUPERBANNED) [the mini-games have different awards like giving invincibility to some and restoring a little health to others]
• New Pork City (Team tournament only)[one on one matches will take too long because of of the stage's large size; team battle is okay since the match will be at a speedier pace]
• 75m [ladders obstructs attacks, falling bumpers, and DK can do a ot of damage]
• Mario Bros. [chearacters with reflecting capabilities have the obvious advantage on this stage, since the easiest way to KO on this stage is to throw a shell/crab]
• Flat Zone 2 [stage is too small]
• Temple (Melee) (Team tournament only) [one on one matches will take too long because of of the stage's large size; team battle is okay since the match will be at a speedier pace]
• Mushroomy Kingdom (ground) [KOs are much to easy to land here]
• Mushroomy Kingdom (underground) [one on one matches will take too long because of numerous blocks preventing KOs; easy KOs if on top of the bricks]
• Big Blue [moving vehicles make easy suicides]
• Yoshi's Island (Melee) [middle section is easy to fall in]
• Hanenbow [leaves absorb projectiles and attacks]
• Jungle Japes [easy to suicide in river]
• Port Town Aerodive [no ledge + car hazards are too strong]

If you want to discuss any stages that should be banned/unbanned, please say so on the talk page.

The banned items list (for Team Tournament):

• Containers [includes exploding containers, which can mess the match up]
• Blast Box [characters with fire attacks have the advantage to set this off]
• Maxim Tomato [recovery is too great and easy to get]
• Heart Container [recovery is too great and easy]
• Home-Run Bat [too strong when swung and thrown]
• Fan [Fan spamming can rack up over 50 damage]
• Hammer [too strong and disadvantageous for the user on moving stages]
• Golden Hammer [too strong and disadvantageous for the user on moving stages]
• Ray Gun [certain characters with bad recovery (e.g. Ike) can't survive against a barrage of Ray Gun shooting]
• Bob-omb [sometimes found in clusters, which can give a free KO]

The rules for the singles tournament are:

• 4 stock.
• No items (including NO Smash Balls).
• Stages on the banned list cannot be chosen, if they are, the match will have to be reset. If a contestant wishes to pick a random stage without risking picking a banned stage, they must turn off the banned stages in the stage switch option.
• Win 2 out of 3 to advance to the next round.
• Contestants are not limited to one character and may change characters after each match.
• Up to two contestants can be entered from one Wii. To prevent people from creating a "back-up" contestant, the two contestants from one Wii may be tested in a standard battle to see if the other person in the tournament is real.
• If a contestant stalls the match on purpose so that he can win by having more lives than the opponent by the time the timer ends, the contestant will be disqualified.
• If lag is an issue, the match will still be continued as normal and will not be an excuse to forfeit the match. If the lag is due to a moving stage, the match can be moved to a non-moving stage for less lag.
• No illegal techniques like infinite chain grabbing or suicide win.

Although optional, matches can be viewed. This means that up to two other people will be able to watch the actual match without interfering with it. However, if the match starts to lag, we can kick the spectators out.

There is a secondary tournament, one for doubles. However, this will take place after the singles tournament and most of the rules are the same. The rules for the doubles tournament are:

• 5 stock.
• All items allowed, but only on low-medium. Some items are banned and items CANNOT be turned off unless they are on the banned item list, or be put on high. Item choice has to include non-banned item in the game, no item in particular can be turned off.
• Stages on the banned list cannot be chosen, if they are, the match will have to be reset. If a contestant wishes to pick a random stage without risking picking a banned stage, they must turn off the banned stages in the stage switch option. Some of banned stages are allowed only on the team tournament.
• Contestants are not limited to one character and may change characters after each match.
• Friendly Fire is ON.
• Win 2 out of 3 to advance to the next round.
• Up to two contestants can be entered from one Wii. To prevent people from creating a "back-up" contestant, the two contestants from one Wii may be tested in a standard battle to see if the other person in the tournament is real.
• Contestants are allowed to pair up with any other contestant, as long as it is okay with both contestants. If a contestant joins the team tournament without a partner, he will paired off with another contestant based off of results in the singles tournament. However, if a contestant did not enter in the singles tournament, he or she will be pair up with another random contestant. If two contestants share the same Wii, they can also automatically join to be on the same team, although it is not required to do so.
• If lag is an issue, the match will still be continued as normal and will not be an excuse to forfeit the match. If the lag is due to a moving stage, the match can be moved to a non-moving stage for less lag.
• No illegal techniques like infinite chain grabbing or suicide win.

[edit] Mario Kart Wii

MarioWiki will also be hosting a Mario Kart Wii tournament. Sign-up is welcome to anyone, although it is recommended that contestants are at least good enough to race on 150cc. The rules for the racing tournament are:

• To determine who wins, there will be three races. The racers who rank lower than 8th place in the first GP will be disqualified and the racers who ranked lower than 4th place in the second GP will be disqualified. The third GP will be between four racers. If a tie comes up in any of these matches, the racers will have to race one on one to determine the rank. If there are more than 12 contestants, another game will be made with similar rules. The winner of that game will go one on one against the winner of the first game.
• All courses are open for selection.
• If anyone is caught using cheap tactics, they will be disqualified. This specifically applies to those driving backwards to get good items and purposely mess up the race.
• Two people may enter from one Wii. However, they must be in the same race.

The secondary tournament for Mario Kart Wii is similar to the primary tournament, with additional restrictions. The rules for the secondary racing tournament are:

• To determine who wins, there will be three races. The racers who rank lower than 8th place in the first GP will be disqualified and the racers who ranked lower than 4th place in the second GP will be disqualified. The third GP will be between four racers. If a tie comes up in any of these matches, the racers will have to race one on one to determine the rank. If there are more than 12 contestants, another game will be made with similar rules. The winner of that game will go one on one against the winner of the first game.
• GP vehicle selection will be limited to karts in the first GP and bikes in the second GP. The third GP will allow contestants to choose any type of vehicle.
• In all three GPs, contestants must use their Mii as the driver. Either Mii costume is fine. If a contestant has not unlocked a Mii driver, they cannot enter this tournament.
• All courses are open for selection.

• Two people may enter from one Wii. However, they must be in the same race.

To sign-up for a tournament, you may leave me a message on my talk page (provided you are a user), send me an e-mail to wasib04@aol.com, or reach me in chat as "Knife". The sign-up must include your name (the name you'd like to be referred to during the tournament) and your FC (don't tell me to look for it in some thread, if you're too lazy to post it, don't bother signing up). If you only want to enter certain tournaments, just say so. Sign-up ends August 4th.
