Location:
Located about 15 minutes away from UNCC and practically in the same parking lot of the Concord Mills Mall this is the ideal location for all your new, retro, card, and board gaming needs. Concord Mills Blvd is directly off I-85 as well so it should be easy enough for you travelers to find. There is plenty of food in the area including Steak & Shake, Chic-Fil-A, and of course the food court in the mall. While no outside food or drink is allowed in the venue they do offer drinks and simple snacks at a very reasonable cost. Also be sure to keep your language and behavior family friendly I look forward to hosting more events here so let's show them the good side of the Smash community. It's important to note this is a high traffic area so be sure to keep that in mind when your heading to and from the event.

Project M Ruleset:
For everything except the stage selection we use the Apex 2014 ruleset, including character selection and stage striking. However, we will be using a new stage list I've been working on with other TO's in the region. Since the Apex site no longer has the rules up here's a link if you are unfamiliar: PROJECT M RULESET
Project M Stage List:
This is a new stage list for PM 3.6b that we are testing out with 12 stages and 3 counter-pick stage bans. In my opinion this is the best stagelist for 3.6b right now and probably will be the standard stagelist for FPS until the NC PM panel makes their decision.Green-Starter/Neutral Stages: 1-2-1 Starter Striking
These stages are available all rounds but are the only ones available for round 1.
-Green Hill Zone
-Pokémon Stadium 2
-Smashville
-Battlefield
-Dreamland 64
Yellow-Counter Pick Stages: 3 Counter-Pick Bans
These stages are available only after round 1 is complete.
-Warioware Inc.
-Final Destination
-Yoshi's Story
-Fountain Of Dreams
-Norfair
-Yoshi's Island Brawl
-Distant Planet
Red-Banned Stages
This should be self explanatory.
-Everything on Page 2
However, if you and your opponent agree to it you can play on any stage you like. Just don't be salty if you loose on Rainbow Cruise and you agreed to it.
Melee Ruleset:
Melee Stage List
There is no changes and I don't foresee there ever being any.Starters/Neutrals:
These stages are available all rounds but are the only ones available for round 1
-Yoshi’s Story
-Fountain of Dreams
-Battlefield
-Final Destination
-Dream Land
Counterpick:
These stages are available only after round 1 is complete
-Pokemon Stadium
Banned Stages
This should be self explanatory.
-Don't feel like typing them all so let's just say everything else
However, again, if you and your opponent agree to it you can play on any stage you like. Just don't be salty if you loose on Poke Floats and you agreed to it.
Special Rules For All-Star Mode:
If you are unfamiliar with the All-Star mode in Project M it is a special mode under Special Brawls that allows you to chose a different character for each stock. You play the set as usual just with the added effect of using 4 different characters each game.- 4 stocks/4 characters: You have to select 4 different characters. (i.e. Kirby, Donkey Kong, Link, Marth)
- Zelda and Sheik seperate: Zelda and Sheik each act as separate characters so you may use them both but you may not transform between the two in game. An example lineup would be Zelda, Meta Knight, Jigglypuff, Sheik.
- Sheilda (Zelda/Sheik transformation): You may use Zelda and Sheik together if you choose. This gives you the option to switch between Zelda and Sheik on only one stock. However, will only be able to select Zelda or Sheik once in your lineup. For example: Roy, Bowser, Zelda/Sheik, Mario.
- Counter-Picking: Works as usual: winner bans>loser selects stage>winner may change character order/selections>loser may change character order/selections>play on counter-picked stage.
- Starting Character Selection: Starting a match you may just select your characters and go with it but if you choose to you may do an alternating character selection process.
- Rock/Paper/Scissors to see who selects character first (of course, you may let your opponent select first if you win)
- Player 1 selects 1st character
- Player 2 selects 1st character
- Player 2 selects 2nd character
- Player 1 selects 2nd character
- You get the idea
