Smash Lord
After 3 Years of waiting it is here!
As many of you know me and Jo3 have been around 3 years this summer, in this time we have hosted a number of fests over the years, as well as a few ranking battles, all i feel were very successful and has lead to us hosting a number of players from the community, and getting to know many quite well. In this time we also have had a near perfect tournament attendence record (myself missing GGT1 and Phantom Hits, Jo3 only missing PH). Now finally it's time to invite you all here at once to my miserable wet home
Ok Will I'm interested, but where and when is this going to take place?
Good question <insert your name here>, Super Hit Stun 1 (1 because there's always chance of a second) will be located at a venue somewhere in Bolton, Lancashire. It will take place on July 18, at roughly 11 or 12.
Bolton and July seems possible, but how would i get there? And would it be expensive?
Bolton is in fact a 15 minutes train ride from Manchester.
If you were getting here by coach Manchester is a large city and such has fun fares from other cities meaning you can get there and back for £2 if you book in advance, from there it is a short walk to Manchester Piccadily train station and a 15 train ride to Bolton. Another option is to just book to Bolton and shouldnt cost much extra, this could be a good idea if you want to make sure you dont get lost.
Information on travelling by coach and ticket prices and travel times can be found out at www.nationalexpress.com
If you have a little extra money wise and dont fancy all the coach riding and travel times and would rather get the train then you would be probably be looking at a journey to Manchester Piccadily and then another connection to Bolton, but dont worry you just need to find the platform at the same station.
Information and prices for trains can be found at www.nationalrail.co.uk
Another option is to fly by plane to Manchester Airport and get a direct train from there to Bolton.
Personally i'd use www.skyscanner.net to look for cheap flights but many sites offer different prices usually depending on different levels of luxury.
Finally Cars, (unless you guys have a helicopter or something :s) right now i am not moved into the place where i will be housing and as such i dont have a post code for you as of yet. All i can say is look into just how to generally get to Bolton from <insert wherever it is you live> .
Ok i can get to you now but where will i be housed? and who none smash related will be there?
I will be in the next few weeks be moving into a house with 3/4 other friends, this will be the place you will be housed. Obviously this means people may need to keep it down at night (although this is actually unlikely), but more importantly please help me by taking shoes off inside, putting rubish in the bin etc etc..
This place will hopefully not be too far from the eventual venue, though if it is a distance i will sort out travel myself.
Ok Will, sounds good, but you havent even said what events your going to have on!
Ok calm down a sec and listen
If anyone knows me they have already predicted the main focus of this tourney will be melee, though i am interested in possible expanding into a multiple day event with brawl on offer as well if enough people show interest. This second day would probably feature low tiers and crews as well.
Ok we've waited long enough Will can you please finalise things?
Fair enough things did grind to a halt, a little and i appologise for this, but now its time for comfirmation of rules and events.
This will be a melee only event, this is partly due to the space, partly due to that i don't even really enjoy competitive brawl, though i will probably have a brawl setup going alot of the time, just not during singles and doubles.
Ok now i would like to make this a 2 day event featuring the following
Singles
Doubles
Crews
Low tiers!
Rock paper scissors contests.
Other similar contests of such masculinity and bravado.
But this is all dependent on what you guys can do, let me know
Singles
Bring Your Own Controller if you don't how were you planning on competing?
4 Stock
7 Minute Time Limit
No Items
No Stalling
Wobbling will be banned.
No Forward Smashing Backwards Out Of Shield (I know this is only in brawl, but i ****ing hate it!)
Set will be best of 5 at all times, and yes this applies to pools as well!
Finals will probably be best of 7, depending on how the players feel on it at the time.
As for stages the first stage will be random, unless the other 4 stages are banned.

For Stage Banning the rules work as follows;
1. Play rock, paper, scissors, or flip a coin or something to decide who goes first.
2. The first player states the stage he wants to ban from the entire set.
3. The second player then does the same.
4. The second player then announces the stage he wants to strike off the random list.
5. The first player now does the same.
6. Random your first stage based on what stages are now left.
Stages will be on display if you get confused, and remember these bans only apply for each particular set you are in at the time.
As for characters of course none are banned, but matches will follow Advanced Slob Picks rules.
Advanced Slob Picks?
These rules work like this;
1. Both players choose their characters, if for some reason one player feels cheated by this he can force a double blind, in which both players tell an impartial player which charcter they want to play, so that he can let them both know each others desicion without it influencing eithers judgement.
2. Play your game, randoming your first stage with the rules above.
3. The loser will now select the next stage, following the the winner can change character, finally the loser gets the chance to change character. The stage must be on either the random or counter pick stage list, and must not have been banned for the entire set.
4. Play the next match.
5. Keep loopong back to 3. after 4. until the best of 5/7 is over. You should now have a winner and a loser, if not i'm sorry but i have no idea what's gone wrong
For now this is it, i am going to update with rules and stages for teams soon
Please let me know your opinions on dates and events, also about stages and other rules.
Msn later if you have any questions justwillhudson@hotmail.com
Hope to see you all soon.
