KIEF Presents: Series Wars ***ITS A L-A-D-D-E-R PEOPLE***

Which game series is best represented as a whole in brawl? I'm interested in the answer to that question so I made a ladder to test it. Outside of items and songs, a series' representation is determined by 3 things: the amount of stages, the amount of/popularity of characters, and how good the characters are and the people who use them. This ladder is going to test all 3 of those, as well as rank participants based on performance, to group them into a double elimination tournament for (hopefully) prizes! Heres how its going to work...

Format
This ladder begins now. There is no sign up required, and you CANNOT BE ELIMINATED (good for meh ). Basically you find an opponent, and each pick a character to play for that whole set. Afterwards you report who won, and a point will be added to the character who won, and the player who won. Each game series has a point total which consists of the total points of all the characters in its series. So for example if Player A uses Sheik and beats Player B who uses Falco (doesn't matter), then Player A gets a point, along with Sheik, which also adds a point to the Legend of Zelda series. All of this will be used to create a 16 or 32 person double elimination tournament, taking the top 16 or 32 people on the player ladder. Details for the tournament have not yet been decided, and it will be quite a while before it actually happens.

Rules
Best 2 out of 3
3 stock
8 minute timer
No items
You must use the same character for each battle in the set, however you may use different characters each different set that you play in
You must also follow the specific unique stage counter-pick rules (stated in the stages section)
You may not play a character from the same series as yours
Meta Knight's IDC is banned
Stalling is banned
Bragging, gloating, and johning is uncool and discouraged
Both players must report who won, and the character the winner used
You may play as many matches as you want, but you may only play the same person once per day

Characters
All characters are allowed. Like stated above, you must use the same character for the entire set. For details on what character is in what series, please refer to the results post (below).

Stages
The stages allowed in this ladder are different from most tournaments, in that they are techically all playable, coinidentally besides Hannenbow (). The more stages a series has in brawl, the more they are represented in that aspect. Because of this, it is a stregth to a series in this ladder if that series has multiple stages, because you have more counter-picks to choose from. When counter-picking a stage, YOU MUST CHOOSE A STAGE, AND ANY STAGE THAT IS FROM THE SAME SERIES AS YOUR CHARACTER. However the first match will be played on a neutral starter stage. Here is the breakdown...

Starter
Smashville
Final Destination
Battlefield

After this, the loser counter-picks with any stages from there character's series. Here are the stages each series has...

Player Results

KIEF: 2
Shadowfirex100: 1

Ok i did the first match for this thing with my gf. This will also serve as an example of how this works for the peolpe that dont get it. So its more noticable...

EXAMPLE

KIEF (link) defeats kiefsgirl_haha (yoshi) 2-0

^Thats how you would report it.

As for the match itself: I was link the whole time and she was yoshi the whole time. I won the first match on smashville, so she got to counter-pick. She picked yoshi's island (brawl) because its from the yoshi series. Had she of won, I wouldof countered with a stage from the zelda series.

So because I won, I get a point. Since link won, he gets a point. And because link is in the legend of zelda series, that gets a point.

Reserved for laughs.

reserved for how does this ever end if there's no elimination?

it will end with the tournament at the end

EDIT: wow i thought i'd have more stuff to do. this can begin now.

can i sign up if so Keilf up for a brawl tourni wise XD

no sign up required man

just find an opponent and do battle

Edit: i just added this to the rules: You may not play a character from the same series as yours

i just forgot to put it in earlier

Cool idea Kief!!! ^o^-w00t

I'll try this out sometime! ^_^

I want to play it, but I'm confused. I just want somebody to fight!

its just a ladder. you find somebody to play and you play them. i'll play someone if you ask.

Oh a ladder...
Then why didn't you say so.
Give me Mario and Luigi please.

lol you dont have to stick with characters or get asigned them. you just play with a character, and you have a score, as well as every character.

alot of people seem to be confused. maybe i should do an example match...

Oh do we play a match as a char to give it points?

yes. and i'll also keep track of how each player does. its as simple as that lol.

^ cool beans. you should participate too

ok for those of you who didnt get it. refer to the 3rd post. i did the first match, and it can serve as an example of how this works.

...seems pretty simple to me >.>

I predict either Snake/MK will have over 9000 points.
Wild guess.

lol what is it with you and 9000 anyway? and probly >.>

Shadowfirex100 (Luigi) defeats Ikenator5000 (Ike) 2-1? Like that?

Well, I get it now. But I mean I didn't understand if we speak them when we lose or before.

its just w/e is easier.
