Phase 7: Low Tier Teams Edition, Dallas TX, Mar 27th = Dojo / Razer / Gnes

Using the latest Brawl tier list, Low Tier characters are those found in the E, F and G tiers (excluding Sheik and Sonic, just like the old list).

E
F
G ​

• 3 Stock for Brawl. 4 Stock for Melee. 4 Stock for Brawl Minus.
• 8 minute timer.
• Items are set to "Off" and "None"
• Matches are best of 3. Winners/Losers/Grand Finals are best of 5.
• Controller port disputes will be resolved by Rock-Paper-Scissors or higher number with G&W's SideB.
• Brawl: First round stage will be determined by stage strike system. Melee: Random with one Stage Strike or use Brawl method.
• No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
• In teams matches, ports will be 1221.
• If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.
• If sudden death occurs (outside of timeouts), sudden death will be ignored and a 1 stock, 4 min overtime match will take place on the same stage.
• Make sure you fix your controller and your tag before you start playing. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.
• Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action.

• Meta Knight's infinite dimensional cape.
• Any infinite grab (including wall grabs) if the opponent is over 250%. For wall infinites, this does not apply if the wall will eventually go away, i.e. PS1.
• Stalling, including planking and scrooging (gliding under the stage repeatedly), is banned. Stalling is the act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling. If you are unsure a tactic is considered stalling, ask the TO before using it

• Bowser/Ganon suicide attacks. Brawl Only. If these moves are used to end a match and a sudden death is then started. Bowser/ Ganon will be declared the winners and the sudden death will be ignored.
• Ledge Grab Limit Rule: Brawl Only. Characters are allowed to grab the ledge a total of 50 times per game. If you think that your opponent grabbed more than this, check the stats after the round. If it is exceeded the limit even by a single ledge grab you will lose your match (not the set). However, this rule can be ignored if BOTH players agree.
• MikeHaze rule: No yelling or making abrupt noises at your opponent.
• Chibo's Video-for-the-masses rule: You cannot refuse to be recorded if you pay money to enter an event.

@Xyro - Sure but... I fail to see how the gap between them and the rest of the cast below is as big as MK and the gap below him. None of those characters have 5 jumps + whornado + shuttle gay + 13 frame total uair.

Also adding slightly more characters adds more flavor. One thing that disgusts me about LT was the fact that I didnt really like playing any of the characters that were offered, well not until Zelda was allowed.

Secondly, I cannot foresee EVERYBODY switching to and using Sheik/Sonic/PT/Ness/Bowser just cause they are that much better than the rest of the available cast. If anything, I could try this for one LT and if it doesn't work out, then I'll know for all future tourneys.

Oh please. The only character conglomeration there is in LT tournaments are Ike and Ness.

As for Sonic...only Sonic mains play Sonic in LT at all either. Too much work to put into when you consider how much easier it is to **** the LT cast with people like Ike/Ness.

In the low tier tournaments I've participated in, you wanna know what I almost EVER only played? Ike, Ness, and Jigglypuff.

I've never played any Zelda, Link, Ganondorf, Lucas, Mario, or Yoshi in single low tiers, and I've only ever encountered a single Zelda and Ganon in doubles, and the Ganon was on my team!

At least for Texas, you might as well just hold a "Ike, Ness, Jigglypuff, and Falcon only" tournament, Xyro. That's all anyone anywhere plays anyways.

It's not like anyone's going to magically change to PT, Bowser, Sonic, Sheik, etc just because the TO allows it. At the very least, allowing PT gives several people more incentive (Zigsta, Magik?, Trela?) to sign up for LT events.
