IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Nova has now changed the pot one final time.

Both Melee @ Brawl are FLAT payments of the following.
1st: $1000
2nd: $300
3rd: $150

NOW TELL ME THAT ISN'T HYPE FOR AN AUSTRALIAN TOURNEY!
$1000 EACH FOR THE WINNER OF BOTH BRAWL AND MELEE, THAT IS UNHEARD OF IN AUSTRALIA​

RELOADED VIII 16th July​
______________________________​

The finale of the Reloaded LAN series, Reloaded VIII, promises to be a huge event (bigger than ACL). With the highest payout that will ever be seen in Australia, up to $1000 1st place for Brawl and Melee, you can expect fierce competition with Australia's most skilled players. Top names in Brawl and Melee have been confirmed thanks to generous sponsorship by Nova.



Wookie's original post: (OUTDATED)
This will make for Saturday the 16th of July to be declared "Smash Saturday". Singles, Doubles and Melee will be held concurrently, and the timetable for these events will be determined by the Valhalla Smash team.

Tentatively, I am setting a total Smash prize pool (1v1, 2v2, Melee) at $800.00, with the split being determined again, by the Reloaded Smash team, and no doubt pursuant to feedback here on the forum. This will be finalised in coming weeks.

Entry cost will be $30.00 for this event, although tickets will be available at some live lan events at 2 for $50.00. (Tekken, Streetfighter and other tournaments will be Friday Night, Halo and others will be on the Saturday night). The reason for this is that there is near parity in the prize money between PC and Console this event, which is traditionally subsidized by the BYO PC guys. Essentially the increased ticket money will go straight back as prize money, as befits the states largest event.

Ill be watching feedback for the next month, with all revealed at the April event. If you want to contact me direct, email me @ the_wookie@adam.com.au, add me to msn @ jlassey@hotmail.com, find me on facebook or do whatever.

Let me be clear. The date is FINAL. We arent stuffing you around this time. Tickets for this event are available at Valhalla this weekend, and all outlets shortly thereafter.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ruleset​


Starters | Counterpicks
Battlefield|Battleship Halberd
Final Destination|Brinstar
Lylat Cruise|Castle Siege
Smashville|Delfino Plaza
|Pokemon Stadium 1
Yoshi's Island (Brawl)|Frigate Orpheon

General Rules
  1. Items set to "off" and ratio set to "none".
  2. Stock and Time are set to 3 stock and 8 minutes respectively.
  3. If time runs out, the winner is determined by stock, and then by percentage.
  4. If both stock and percentage are identical, or a game ends with both players being KO'd simultaneously, then a tiebreaker is played. A tiebreakers is a 1 stock, 3 minute match with the same characters and the same stage.
  5. All sets with the exception of winner's finals, loser's finals, and the championship are best of 3 matches (best of 5 should be played out for Winners, Loser &, Grand "final" matches. i.e. the finals' matches).
  6. Extending Meta Knight's Dimensional Cape is banned.
  7. A ledge grab limit of 30 applies to mk. This rule applies if there has been a time out.
  8. Stalling is banned. Stalling involves:
    • Any action that deliberately avoids all conflict as to make the game unplayable. Running from an opponent to get to a better position is not considered stalling.
  9. Controller ports are determined by Rock-Paper-Scissors if there is a dispute.
  10. Any action that prevents the game from continuing results in a forfeiture of the match for the offender.
  11. Some interactions (for example, interrupting a throw with a wind attack) can cause one character to become frozen until being hit. If this happens, the free character is expected to capitalise on this in a timely manner; a failure to do so is considered stalling.
  12. Any stage is selectable at any time if BOTH players agree. This means if both players wish to skip the stage striking procedure and play on Final Destination or Hyrule Temple, they may. Don't expect many serious players to go along with this, however.
  13. Modified Dave's Stupid Rule (MDSR): No player can counter-pick a stage he or she has previously won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
  14. Gentleman's Clause: Any stage may be played on so long as both players and the tournament host agree to it, including banned stages. This can be used in tandem with the MDSR.

Additional Rules for Doubles Play
  1. Team attack is on.
  2. Sharing stocks is allowed.
  3. Controller ports are determined in a 1221 fashion.
  4. If the clock expires and the total number of stocks of each team is equal, use the sum of the final percentage of players on each team as the tiebreaker; whichever team has a lower sum wins. A player who has been eliminated has 0 stocks and 0%.
  5. Causing both characters of a team to become frozen (i.e. by interrupting a throw with a wind attack) is to be treated the same way as freezing the opponent in singles. Leaving only one of the opponents' characters frozen is legal since the teammate can work to undo the freeze.

Set Format
  1. Both players choose their characters (as well as their sub-character and costume) for the first game. A double-blind pick may be requested by either player.
  2. Players start the stage-striking procedure in order to select the first stage. The optimal procedure for striking stages is 1-2-2-1 assuming "1" is player 1 and "2" is player 2.
  3. Each player may ban a stage from the counterpick list for the match.
  4. The first game is played using the stage chosen by step 2.
  5. The loser of the previous game chooses a stage from the starter or counterpick list. No player may choose a stage they have already won on unless the other player agrees.
  6. The winner of the previous game chooses their character.
  7. The loser of the previous game chooses their character.
  8. Steps 5-7 are repeated as necessary.

Other Rules
  1. On a player's counterpick, that player may choose to redo the port selection process, with that player/team picking their port first.
  2. In team matches, it may be requested that certain characters be assigned a specific team colour in order to prevent any unnecessary confusion. For instance, Sonic, Lucario, or Falco may be requested to be assigned the blue team.
  3. In the case of a console/TV malfunction, the game will be restarted from the beginning, no matter what time it crashed (unless both players agree otherwise).
  4. After a match has been called, if a player is 3 minutes late without informing a TO beforehand, he/she will receive a warning. At 6 minutes late he/she will forfeit the entire set.. If you require more time (timing clashes with another tournament, etc) let the Tournament Organisers know (for Brawl: Apollo, Nova or Jamage). Do not expect to always be allocated additional time, however.
  5. You are responsible for your own controller and name tag. Any malfunctions or errors that occur are your responsibility, so bring an extra controller if possible and always check to make sure you're using the correct settings BEFORE a match is played. If a match is to be restarted due to controller functions, it must be agreed upon by both parties.

Do not expect to always be allocated additional time, however.
  6. Modified Dave's Stupid Rule (MDSR): No player can counter-pick a stage he or she has previously won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.
  7. Gentleman's Clause: Any stage may be played on so long as both players and the tournament host agree to it, including banned stages. This can be used in tandem with the MDSR.

Additional Rules for Doubles Play
  1. Share stock is allowed.

  5. The losing player of the preceding match picks a Starter or Counter-Pick Stage for the next match.
  6. The winning player of the preceding match picks a character.
  7. The losing player of the preceding match picks a character.
  8. The next match is played.
  9. Repeat 4-8 for all consecutive matches as necessary until the set is complete.


Other Rules
  1. Controller ports are determined by Rock-Paper-Scissors if there is a dispute.
  2. All people are responsible for their own controller settings/name tag and must make sure they are set before the match begins. Both players must agree to restart a match on account of a controller problem.
  3. Using Jigglypuff's "Sing" on an opponent while they are already sleeping more than 3 times in a row (this does not apply to doubles); using Jigglypuff's rising pound to make it impossible/next to impossible (soley defined by the TO at the event) for the other player to hit you; and, extending a "infinite combo/lock/chain grab" above 300% are all considered stalling and are banned.
  4. Unnecessary delays in a set are discouraged. This can occur before (not playing a match), during (taking an unnecessary amount of time to counter-pick) and after (not reporting the match's results) a set that has been called.
  5. In the case of a console/TV malfunction, the game will be restarted from the beginning, no matter what time it crashed.
  6. Wireless controllers are discouraged because of interference, unreliability (battery life) and time hindrance.

Should mention that general entry is $10.00

$30.00 is for the BYO PC and access to power
Click to expand...
We foreshadowed an increase in the entry price for general entry - its mentioned in the Valhalla thread - because even though we keep increasing the prize money, the amount we charge at the door doesnt cover the prize money, for 6 years console prize money has literally been subsidised by the PC operation.

Since we want to maximise this events potential, which will almost 99% be the last Reloaded (at least run by me), we are going to boost the console competitor pricing to better reflect the prize money we give away. In return, I guarantee that the increased funds go to the console prize money and not to subsidise PC competitions. Console pricing is not yet finalised, but I would expect it to be $20 entry minimum.

One of the options Im looking at is a themed area this year, an extension above and beyond the console corner used last year, which will probably see a couch or two placed in the middle of the console area specifically to chill out on during the event.

Theres a few details to be ironed out, including rules and maps and whatnot, but the main thing has been getting the date and confirming that like last year, Smash will be entirely done on the Saturday, with the PS3 fighting competitions on the Friday night (Tekken, Streetrighter, Marvel v Capcom), Racing competition (specifically GT5 i think) on Saturday night, along with a "world cup" of FIFA, also on Saturday night.

Fact: My first tournament I ever played against you AND the first tournament I ever used Meta Knight, you only just beat me and, if I remember correctly, I SD'd twice.

Fact: The only other time we have had a set was Snake vs. Jigglypuff, one of the worst match-ups in the game. You, again, only just beat me, and I had not slept at all that night which I'm sure anyone who played me will agree affected my performance greatly.

Ant there is nothing stopping me from picking Olimar when I verse you. Also, I did beat you with Falco on your counter pick. So you can't say I don't have the skills to beat you with a Char that's not Oli.

I am interested in attending, but the chances of me actually coming are very slim.
This is because in order to be able to go I would need the following to be assured;

#1 . Parental Permission - Well thats pretty self explanatory :E and the most important factor @_@ and most unlikey ;___;
#2 . To not lose much more than $20 on the whole journey - This would imply sponsoring/paying for my flights of some sort. I'm not assuming I will win, but if I did I would pay everyone back what they paid (as much as i could without losing money myself from doing so. But flights appear much cheaper than the payout so it should be ok ;) ... but if i dont win... ? idk :S )
#3 . A good doubles partner - (Apollo?)
#4 . Housing for the whole time im up there (about 3 nights) - I think Mason has me covered for this though.

And I'd like to see Daniel (Browny) again too :3
he better not still be in sydney :c

Dan's not out of practice, he's been going to meets in Sydney; no tournaments of course, since he's got a phobia with Aussie tourneys.

Splice, I (Nova) will consider sponsering you to come here through Tiger/Jetstar as I can get an extremely cheap deal through them with Adl/Melb flights.
I cannot say if I can house you or not (I assume Mason will want to anyway) as I may be hosting other people.

Also, if Grim really cared about winning he wouldn't use Jigglypuff against what is (from my non-existant Jigs info) probably her worst m/u.
Even though he's good with her, he's obviously better with MK.

Oh yeah, and anyone that sees this should quote me - it irritates some power starved pencil-neck from Perth. :D

I think Mr. Game & Watch is a worse match-up, but yeah, they are both terrible.

Thanks for quoting Novas post Grim.
Otherwise I would be lost.

If you could get my flights that'd be awesome Shaun <3
I've never actually been on a plane before so I don't know how to book flights
or anything at all
It's gonna be an experience!

I'm pretty much 100% sure Mason can house me so that should be all good.

This will be a great event, I'll update the OP with rules, stagelists etc after seeing how it goes this VAL.

Otherwise I could make another pointless thread like the ACL stagelist discussion to give more reasons for people to bicker in general.

EDIT: Splice, you definitely should come.

earl isn't allowed to have a sponsor coz he won last time and would prolly win again.
and i don't see why some ppl who have travelled to other states for tournies would need sponsors to come here. I mean the prize pool is big enough as it is.
