Welcome to the 2nd round of Oklahoma Monthlies.
AKA The Norman Oklahoma Monthlies. Don't think that we are focusing on Norman, these events hope to reach players statewide and beyond.
The purpose of monthlies is twofold.
1. To improve our game in state and prepare for tournaments.
2. Encourage an active scene of amateurs and professionals.
HxC is running Halo Reach 4v4 another part of the building, for info on that go here.

Heritiage Room in the Oklahoma Memorial Student Union at the University of Oklahoma (2nd floor, location of OH SNAP 5! remember that?)

- Regular sets are best of 3 matches until Loser's/Winner's/Grand Finals which is 3/5 games.
- The Tournament Host is the arbiter of all disputes.
- Blind Picks: the first character selection of a set must be without prior knowledge of the opponent's character selection for both players.
- Modified Dave's Stupid Rule: No player can counter pick a stage he or she has previously won on unless agreed upon by both players.
- 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 Modified Dave's Stupid Rule (MDSR).
- Timed out matches will be determined by the remaining number of lives, then percentage of the current stock. In the event of a percentage tie, replay that match. Any Sudden Death match is strictly not to be played.

- Life Stealing is allowed
- Set team attack to ON

General Rules
3 Stocks
8 Minute Time Limit
Items set to "Off" and "None"
All infinites are legal.
Meta Knight's Infinite Cape Glitch and Extended Cape Glitch are banned.
There is a Ledge Grab Limit of 35 for Meta Knight and 50 for all other characters. If a game goes to time and one player goes over the Ledge Grab Limit for their character, they will automatically lose the game. If both players exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then this rule is ignored.
The act of stalling is banned: stalling is intentionally making the game unplayable: Such as becoming invisible, continuing infinites past 300%, and reaching a position that your opponent can never reach you.
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. You are responsible for knowing your own character, and must be wary about accidentally triggering one of these effects.
If the Ledge Grab Limit does not declare one player the winner, the winner will be declared by what the game says in all situations, except for when players are presented with sudden death:
In the event of a match going to time, the winner will be determined by who has less percent (stock difference still takes priority but will be shown in the results screen).
If the match ends with both players dying at the same time (either coincidentally or via suicide move) or if time ran out with both players at equal percent, a one stock three minute rematch will be played on the same stage. For a tie-breaker match, a Ledge Grab Limit of 13 is used for Meta Knight, and 18 for all other characters.
Additional Rules for Teams Play
Team Attack set to "On"
Life stealing is allowed.
In the event of a game reaching the time limit, if a single player on a team exceeds their Ledge Grab Limit, that team loses. If one or more players on both teams exceed their Ledge Grab Limit, then the Ledge Grab Limit rule is ignored.
In the event of a game going to time and the Ledge Grab Limit can not determine a winner and both teams have an equal amount of combined stocks, then whichever team has a lower combined percent is declared the winner.
If a player is using the character Pokemon Trainer, Lucario, or Sonic, either team may request that team colors be changed to make it easier to tell the difference between team players.[/collapse]

Were adding some Arcana Heart 3. Why? Because this game has a burgeoning scene and is honestly one of the best most interesting fighters to be released since Melee in 2001 or Guilty Gear in 2002. Most of our Melee scene is playing it right now, and I want to have a place where they can play all the games they love at once. I encourage others to check the game out and play some friendlies! (When PSN comes back up and you can ****ing buy it)
Becuase of the PSN outage...Arcana Heart is FREE! Candy will be offered as prizes.
It will begin After Melee is over.
Finally, Witchita Falls, Midwest City, and Tulsa people, I hope to see you at these.
I also would like everyone to provide me and Hazy directly with input, and encourage the use of the oklahoma Smash facebook group.
