Smash Ace
Both Brawl and Melee are strongly represented amongst gong players and so this thread is here to facilitate meets in either or both games. Further down the track we may look at hosting tournaments though this is a long way off yet.

For those with tv's I can organise pickup from the station.
Please post what setups you can bring.
We will take an hour for lunch at about 1:00pm, there is a chicken shop and a cafe a couple of minutes walk away. There are fast food outlets a short drive away and if people are keen we can order pizza.
If people have recording equipment then please bring it. I would like as many recording setups and as many matches recorded as possible.

Brawl Base Rule Set (Singles & Doubles)
- 3 stock, 8 minute timer, items set to "off" and none
- The winner in the case of a time out is decided by STOCK first, then PERCENT.
- No stage may be reselected in a set by a player who has already won on it, unless agreed by both players.
- Controller Port disputes are decided by rock paper scissors (best of one).
- Player(s) may choose a port to use on their counter pick.
- Meta Knight Banned! (by official standard as well as popular request)
- Games ending in suicide moves THAT KILL BOTH PLAYERS AT THE SAME TIME (Bowser's Side B, Ganon's Side B, Dedede/Kirby Neutral B) have the initiater of the move win the match; ignoring winner's screen or sudden death. Inhale only initiates sudden death if used properly, so winner's screen if it occurs is the decider.
- Players are responsible for their own controllers and controller set ups.
- Stalling is banned*
- Homebrew/Modded Wii usage is of their owner's responsibility to conform to standards. Players have the right to refuse playing with file replacement hacks on.**
- Sets are best of three, or best of five in Winner's Final, Loser's Final and Grand Final(s).
Set format:
Opponents choose their characters (blind picks may be called for if requested)
Opponents stage strike and pick to play the resulting stage. The first person to strike is decided by the player with the lowest control port.
Counterpicking process: Winner bans stage (neutral/CP) -> Loser picks stage (neutral/CP) -> Winner picks character -> Loser picks character
* Stalling is the act of deliberate avoiding of conflict that makes the game unplayable. Avoiding conflict whilst the player is LOSING (stock/percent) can be considered stalling.
Repeated ledge grabs is not considered stalling. However, staying on the ledge when there is no immediate danger to you (and you aren't attacking) as to allow you to continue the fight onstage may be called for stalling and excessive amounts may invoke forfeits. Pausing the game for anything other than serious reasons, or not informing the opponent first can have the game forfeitted.
** There are many brawl hacks readily available to use. It is the owner's responsibility they conform to these standards:
- They do NOT alter game play, characters abilities nor stage design (i.e. brawl+ stuff).
- Texture hacks and music replacement must not make the game 'unplayable', nor uncomfortable to players (heavily flashy stages, horrible music, textures that make the character hard to see, etc.) -> Players have the right to have the SD card removed to not allow these in play for the set.
The following codes are approved of use:
~ Infinite Replay Time codes
~ RANDOM TRIPPING OFF (DISCUSS!)
~ File Replacement Codes (with ease to remove them via the SD card)
~ Custom Character/Stage Screens which do not: remove characters/add new ones.
~ Game Rule Modifiers (that conform to current rules, 3 stock, 8 minute timer, etc)
~ OTHERS?

- LEDGE GRAB RULE:
In the case of a time out, before stock/percent are considered, Ledge Grabs are viewed (in the end screen).

Also, several Sydney players have expressed am interest in smashing down here on a regular or at least semi-regular basis. Most already travel here for various reasons. It is my belief that more will follow once they realize that Wollongong isn't really that far away
. I am always open to playing smash with people, so if you are round my place there just pm me and we can smash, I play and enjoy both games.
