TRADEMARK ADENDUM

trademark0013 said:

if a player gets falcon punched, he loses the game automatically. in doubles, his team loses the game. if a person hits his own partner they forfeit the game

onett should be legal only if falcon is on the stage

if a player gets falcon punched into a car or after getting hit by a car, their smash career is over and they must retire

the falcon punch has to be cool

aka, no easy edgeguards. no team grab > punch. no stomp to falcon punch. no bs. only stuff that would make HMW go "O(1x10^23)!!"

CHARITY SPECIFICS

I will be collecting new, unwrapped toys to donate to Toys for Tots, a program run by the United States Marine Corps to provide Christmas presents to needy children across the state and the nation. I understand that we're all poor college students; Saffron City is the week before this, and $25 for a tournament is not an insignificant amount of money. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DONATE ANYTHING TO ATTEND. However, if you have the means, you can really make a child's Christmas that much better.

IRON CHEF SPECIFICS

-This is a BAKED GOODS competition. Cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, etc.

-All food must be prepared in advance of the tournament

-All food must be home made! Anyone trying to pass off store-bought goods will be disqualified, tarred, feathered, and rode out of town on a rail.

-The winner will be determined by a vote, and will receive the title of "Iron Chef CT."

-Rules will be added as needed.

Hope to see you all there!

Subscribing

I love the childrens!
-DD

I'm a very strong maybe =D

Nevermind, talked to daddy....im coming.

I'm going <3

doesnt everyone hate brinstar now?

it doesnt matter, i'm prolly gonna go falcon neways, but still

Pokemon Stadium for counterpick? I can stand Pound 4 doing it because it's Pound 4, but **** that noise. It's the only other big stage asides from FD, it's BS to make it a counterpick.

Seeing as how this tournament is only a month before Pound 4, this is basically practice for that tournament. I thought people would appreciate a chance to try out the Pound rules before they got there. But someone, somewhere will always complain. That's fine, and expected. In a community as large as the Smash one, there's literally no way to please everyone.

Discuss them to your hearts' content, but they're not changing.

if somehow g$ can go to this ... i'll be able to go =]

EDIT!!!

quit life guy for not knowing that dreamland exists lololol

I don't like the stage list.
Sucks fo fox players.
I'll bring a setup

I don't like the old stage list
Sucks for non-Fox players

I love the new ruleset, but it kind of sucks because of my newfound love for DL64

I'll try to get here, but my parents aren't too fond of driving to CT. I'll try.

ill prolly come to see old faces

Hopefully I can come but I might not be able to because usually I go up a week before Christmas and visit extended family in NH.

well, it's called playing devil's advocate.

it's also not as good for Falco as it is for Fox... it's also just a stupid stage, despite how good it is for my character. no other "nuetral" stage has random elements that are that hugely unbalancing.

Trademark Adendum added to the ruleset!

yo that trademark thing is a bit much ... theres actually some auto combos for falcon punchlol

not the way ct does it

maybe some specifics should be added:

the falcon punch has to be cool

aka, no easy edgeguards. no team grab > punch. no stomp to falcon punch. no bs. only stuff that would make HMW go "O(1x10^23)!!"

Trademark Addendum has been updated.

Hey I can come to this, probably, pending my exam schedule.

So now that RoM is over...

GET HYPE!!

I'll go to this if pof or anyone from around branford can give me a ride. It sucks that I get my license 3 days after this. Lol.
