SMASHGAF RANBATS – SEASON ONE

The brackets should be all set up. Every player should be able to edit the results for his or her bracket only. If you are unable to edit your bracket, or you discover that you have access to a bracket besides yours, please let me know and I will fix it. If anyone feels a stage should be added to the legal stage list, please let the thread know and we can discuss adding it mid-season.

The results of the first round are due by next Sunday, December 28.

YOU MAY START!

BRACKETS:

http://tinyurl.com/pqe8kzn

SETUP:
• Each player belongs to a bracket.
• Player names are listed as GAFNAME(NNID).
• Each week, you are responsible for playing one new person in your bracket by Sunday night.
• Record the score in Google Spreadsheets using the invitation you were provided with.
o 1 = Winner.
o 0 = Loser.
o The horizontal cells from your name are your score; the vertical is for reference against who you played against.
• The format is Round Robin – everyone plays everyone in their bracket once.

IN-GAME RULES:
• First to 5 wins takes the set.
• 1v1.
• No items or custom moves.
• Either player may switch characters between matches.
• 3-stock with an 8-minute timer.
• In-game mechanics result in the stage decision (each player picks; game decides).
• Legal stage list:

All For Glory Stages
Battlefield
Smashville
Town and City
Lylat Cruise
Skyloft
Castle Seige
Halberd
Delfino
Duck Hunt
Wuhu Island

GENERAL EXPECTATIONS:
• Be honest.
• Be respectful.
• Be responsible.

GROUNDS FOR REMOVAL:
• Dishonest score reports.
• Disrespectful conduct.
• Consistent failure to play matches on time.
• Consistent complaints about connection quality.

FAQ:
What if my opponent and I are having trouble making our match happen within the one-week period?
You have a two-week grade period to play each match, but do your best to play your match within the one-week period provided. If you do not play a match one week, you must play two the next to catch up.

What should I do if I know I cannot play a match within the given time period?
Please notify me and forfeit your match respectfully.

Why is <Insert Rule> the case instead of <Insert Other Rule>?
Everything exists as it does because I feel it is a good policy. Nothing is cut into diamond, however, and if the majority player base feels a policy change is needed, I fully welcome discussion on the issue.

Can I join late?
Unless someone drops out mid-season, you will have to wait until the next season begins. There is no player cap, however, so you will be welcome to join when the next season begins.

Can I play ahead, or even finish my entire season right away?
Sure, go for it! I encourage this, actually.

Should I wire my connection?
Hell yes you should!

Crossposting from the POTD thread:

Somebody in the review thread dropped info about the adapter only needing one USB port and the second is used for rumble. I can't find anything about that anywhere else though.

Anyone seen anything?

My Wii U is probably going to stay turned on for a very long while.

XiaNaphryz · Nov 20, 2014

Planning to grab my copy right when Target opens in the morning. I pre-ordered the GC adapter on Amazon a while back in case I can't find those on retail easily, but if I do then I can just get one to play with immediately and have the 2nd one ready for any 8 player needs.

Ninja Dom · Nov 20, 2014

UK folks, GAME are selling the Smash Bros Wii U for £10 cheaper than RRP. So it's £39.99. They're selling both Retail & Download Codes.

I'll be getting this but I already got a bit of a backlog on my Wii U. I'm still doing my Bayonetta playthroughs and still yet to start Bayonetta 2.

SUPERJEM94 · Nov 20, 2014

We've made it GAF!

ChrisD · Nov 20, 2014

That's a mighty fine OP you've got there.

The console need to be hacked first.

walnuts · Nov 20, 2014

Only 1 week for us Europeans!! I preordered the game yesterday at Amazon, and they gave me free Premium for the next month! I will get Smash Bros at launch date for free shipping!!

Just 1 week...!!

CountBlack · Nov 20, 2014

Caoz · Nov 20, 2014

Has anyone reported on the online yet? Or is it still locked for all?

They aren't going to make the same mistake twice. Stage editor loading was probably tested and checked more thoroughly than any other part of the game, lol.

Smashstack 2.0 would be pretty funny though.

Anura · Nov 20, 2014

This is it Smashgaf! This is what we have been waiting for! What he have been fighting for!

Thorakai · Nov 20, 2014

Ice Climbers approved.

Baron von Loathsome · Nov 20, 2014
