Does Eli play Smash 4? I may have just run into him on FG, but I'm not sure.

I missed him.

Cosmo "AllSoldOut" Wright is my favorite Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U player, I like it when he streams Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and enters online customs tournaments in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. His customs Jigglypuff is insane, I have never seen such awe-inspiring plays and jaw-dropping moments in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U in my entire life. I love Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

As someone who has absolutely no stake in Smash 4, and whose opinion therefore means very little, I support using the emerging standardized ruleset.

So right now HASL is still using 3 stock because we feel that using 3 stock is more beneficial to the player. 2 stock feels like the game is rushed and caters to viewers.

We use customs because so far it hasn't had a negative yet.

The stage list Is how it is because of some personal choice. A few people in Huntsville don't like stage hazards so halberd is not legal

Serious or no? Cause we have been discussing this.
I am serious. Since Smash 4 is the last game, I don't mind the stock count, considering it wont hold the other tournaments up. Although I would prefer two stocks just to move things at a slightly quicker pace. But Smash 4 rules have slowly become more and more standardized as time has moved on and I don't know of any national that allows customs to be legal.

I don't think it necessarily hurts the tournament outcome now, but I've heard many out of state players scoff at our use of customs and previously our stage list as well (though I haven't heard any stage list complaints in a while).

And just from a personal perspective, if the rest of the country bans customs and we still have them legal, I feel like it would undermine our legitimacy a bit.

At the very least, HASL's customs don't accurately prepare people for out-of-town and OOS tournaments. And in my opinion, the objective should be to get as good as possible and to do as well as possible on a regional level.
