2. Stage Striking 1-2-2-1 occurs (From the list of Neutral Stages, Player 1 strikes out a stage. Then player 2 strikes out two (2) stages. The Round starts on the only stage left.

ROUND 2
1) The player that won the previous Round announces a Stage Ban. This stage cannot be used as a Counterpick by the opposing player this Set.
2) The player that lost the previous Round announces a Counterpick Stage. This stage is selected from the Counterpick or Neutral list.
3) The player that won the previous Round then picks a character.

If you have any questions about anything I may have left out, leave a post or PM me. Good luck, and if you aren't there in person, be sure to watch it via livestream!

EDIT: Added livestream link, swapped Waiting Room/Smashville, clarified Round 2 Rule 2. Thanks for the suggestions Void!

EDIT2: Got rid of Windows 8 RP because of sound issues, overclocking issues which made SSF2 run slower, BSODs (which happened during a livestream) and other glitches which would require making another frikin thread to talk about. Now running Windows 7 Ultimate.

EDIT3: Added date and time of livestream right under the livestream link for those of you coming from McleodGaming's Facebook page that don't know where the date and time are listed on SmashBoards.

Hype.

You should put a link to your stream in the OP. Also if it were up to me I would switch Smashville and Waiting Room (WR is pretty much a bigger FD, while Smashville is pretty much universally regarded as one of the better competitive stages), but it's your tournament and all. Looking forward to watching this regardless!

EDIT: I might be reading this wrong, but are you not allowed to select a counterpick from the neutrals list?

Wait... Speedway Indiana you say

I take it you're close? I would LOL if you live here because if that's the case I probably know you already XD

EDIT: just read it. Clown Prince of INDIANA. I'm a moron

Over 1,000 views since posting the thread?? insane!

I hope at least 10 of the ppl that have viewed this thread show up, but from my experience, that's pretty rare lol #hoping this tourney isn't a flop

EDIT: oh yeah, and the tourney is this weekend. hope to see you guys there!

I'd go, but my parents are visiting me this weekend (also it's a 4 hour drive so ehhh).

pregunta

entonces tenemos ke ir a un lugar en especifico para entrar al torneo o va a ser online

While I do not believe google translate is totally reliable, this appears to be an in-person tournament so you would have to be in Speedway, IN to enter.

Also spanish huh?

I wish I could participate. But I'm so far away .

My prediction is that this will be a flop.

Well? How did it go?

I am curious how this went.

There was only 1 person that came by seeing the tourney thread in Smashboards, so between him and my friends, there were like five people that entered. The turnout was bad, but it didn't discourage me from hosting another tournament for this year. McleodGaming went ahead and advertised the tourney on their Facebook page and their official website homepage, so hopefully we have more people that enter this year!
