Smash Bros Brawl Tournament (Doubles)

[Ultima Shadow]

Personally though I think that's a little too restricted Ultima Shadow. The banned items I completely understand (I'm even okay with banning them completely) but I think we should allow more stages. In Corneria there's not much interferences besides the occassional blaster shot. Jungle Japes also isn't as bad now that you can swim in the water. Also allowing Norfair but not Spear Pillar and Port Town Aero Dive is quite unfair seeing how Norfair is much more dangerous than those two stages. Lylat Cruise shouldn't be a counterpick since the only stage interference on that stage is the ship tilting which barely causes any harm.

If we're going to go by standard tournament rules, I think we should make some adjustments to the rules.

I actually completely agree with you. The rules were copy-pasted from the C3 tournament rules (a competetive and pretty recent brawl tournament somewhere in the US), but Corneria should absolutely be allowed, and yeah... ban Norfair.

I'd personally prefere no items as well. Or low at most. I played my first online match today against random opponents and... damn, it was sooo laggy. The second match I played was less laggy, but it was still annoying. Does online matches ever go as smooth as they do offline? Anyways, I don't know if the ones I played had their items set to medium or high, but with smash balls, pokemon balls, assist trophies and bob-ombs everywhere combined with extreme lag on Mushroom Kingdom, it felt like every single kill was completely random. I did still manage to win somehow, as most of the people I played really, really sucked. But yeah, if every kill or even every other kill or even a 1/3 of all kills feels completely random, it's not as fun.

... so let's set items to low or off. =D

...or even better: Mr.Saturns only!

Seriously though, let's vote! I vote for items OFF. (that or Mr.Saturns only)
