If we do have a NPF tournament, what should the rules be? It's already clear that some of us like to play differently. Some like items and others don't. Wich stages would be used? 1 vs 1 or 4 player free for all?

We could just hold multiple tournaments for the different play styles, and then people just enter what they feel like playing.

ALL ITEMS ONLY
ALL CHARACTERS ONLY
NO FINAL DESTINATION

Naw, I'll take on whatever terms except banning characters. Items and random stages appeal to me more, because I like playing against the game just as much as I like playing against other players, not to mention an unpredictable setting will likely hold my attention better.

But I'm happy to beat anyone at their own game if they prefer.

Certain items on, all characters and stages allowed (barring some obvious things, like Big Blue), and moderated matches to prevent against shenanigans.

No, separate tournaments sound about right. That is unless it's like a ratio of 5:1, in which case just one big one and tell the other people to suck it up.

We'll see. Game needs to come out first.

To those whom it concerns, the Cape is still good for edgeguarding. It appears to completely reverse momentum in addition to attack direction.

I agree with the "all characters allowed" sentiment. I mean, sure, we do want to mitigate as much dumb, unfun occurances as possible, such as bomb-omb gank or Big Blue ridiculousness, but this is still for fun, no?

Oh, and I want to express my desire for a Doubles Tournament. I've always been more interested in the team aspects of any competitive game.

Only if team attack is off--I'm a bigger threat to my own teammate than to any of my foes.

I don't necessarily mind the Bob-Ombs, but Big Blue can suck a dick. Also, Icicle Mountain's not in this one, right? Because I can live happily without that stage, too.

I am so into that it's not even funny and am accepting applications for a partner as of now.

Icicle Mountain is gone, I believe. There's a Donkey Kong Country-esque level that is set up the same frigging way, though, vertical scrolling and all.

I think POS and I should form a team of five or so players each and have a huge melee/brawl. We would choose two players to represent the team for each match, and there would be a best-of-five format or somesuch.
