Sudden Death may toss you out of the tournament

That happened in Melee as well.

Sudden death has completely changed, if you think about turtling in this tournament, i wouldnt do so if i were you. When its sudden death, you would try to make the smartest move possible right, but that takes time. Id say like after 10-20 secs, bombs come out at random spots in the stage rapidly and keep falling until someone dies. Its like a 50/50 chance if you turtle on sudden death, just try to dodge the bombs.

I am fairly certain this happened in Melee too... didn't it?

Or if so, does it happen sooner now or about the same?

 

[Grandeza]

No that sounds just like melee.

 

[SuperLink9]

I'm pretty sure that happened in Melee at one point.

That was the only fun part about Super Sudden Death mode. You'd wait till the bombs started falling, then try to survive.

 

[NDUDE]

Yeah, that was in Melee, too. I remember since my friend was playing his round in a mini tourney at school, and Bob-ombs came out of nowhere. He was all "WTF" and lost. =P

It didn't happen in Super Sudden Death. Just Sudden Death at the end of a draw match.

 

[Basmothel]

That happened in Melee as well.

The funny thing is, I've been playing Melee since launch as well, yet only found out about bombs in Sudden Death a few months ago.

Never had a Sudden Death last long enough for them until my roommate and I's rivalry started up.

 

[BlackFoxPariah]

There is no sudden death in the gamestop tourney

Grah, you're right.... >< It's a little obvious I'm getting rusty at Melee, eh?

 

[XACE-K]

It happened in Melee.

 

[RyokoYaksa]

It also happened in SSB64.

 

[Cerqerati]

It did happen in SSBM but only after 20-30 seconds not like the supposed 10-20....

 

[SFJake]

Wow? Does it take less time in Brawl? Because I NEVER saw this before Brawl...

 

[Darkfur]

There is no sudden death in the gamestop tourney

Then what happens in the event of no KOs within that minute time limit?

 

[GinRei]

Then what happens in the event of no KOs within that minute time limit?

You replay the match until someone wins.

20 seconds in Brawl, and 20 seconds in Melee. I forget about SSB64, but there was bomb rain there, too.

not super sudden but sudden death. I am doing that with a lvl 9 cpu for fun..

 

[Papapaint]

Wrong. It's all done using the in-game tournament mode, which means... sudden death.

From the Gamestop Rules:

TIES:

In case of a tie in Rounds 1, 2, and 4, the tied contestants will have a rematch to determine the winner. In case of a tie in Round 3, the winner will be determined based on the contestant that received the less falls overall. In case of a further tie, the winner will be determined based on the contestant that has the least amount of self-destructs overall.

Though I see what you're saying, this is why I gave the answer I gave.

 

[Edds]

you could avoid the bomb rain on pokemon stadium in melee by camping under the platforms.

The player with the lowest percentage wins. Obviously gamestops varry, but my local store is following the exact rules that were provided by nintendo. I guess sudden death is an option that could be turned off, but i know that there wont be rematches, because its impossible to tie unless both players are at an equal percent.

And I see what you're saying, but I know for sure: All gamestops are doing the tournament with the in-game tournament mode. They're not allowed to seed them themselves. So unless they're stopping the tournament mode every time someone ties, then making them replay the match, over and over, then it's sudden death. Think of the logistical problems. I know that if that were the case, and a friend of mine and I were fighting one another, we'd spend 5 or 6 matches just getting used to the controls without attacking each other.

Also not true. Nintendo's rules state that they use the in-game tournament mode. I was at my gamestop when the manager opened the giant envelope.

 

[Boosh3]

yes, i know the in game tourney mode is going to be used, but is there an option to turn off sudden death?

straight off of gamestop's official rules

n case of a tie in Rounds 1, 2, and 4, the tied contestants will have a rematch to determine the winner. In case of a tie in Round 3, the winner will be determined based on the contestant that received the less falls overall. In case of a further tie, the winner will be determined based on the contestant that has the least amount of self-destructs overall.

i have no idea what to believe anymore

Again, I see what you're saying, but I'm convinced that by rematch, they mean sudden death--which is technically a rematch.

 

[Boosh3]

meh, the manager at my local gamestop stated that there is no sudden death, but i guess thats some sort of rematch....
