I have never turned Stage Hazards off even once since this game came out, so I have no idea what it actually changes!

I’m going to assume it’s stuff on stages that can hurt you or interact with. So something like the Mario Kart stage where the karts race around, wouldn’t have the karts racing around. 
Sorry @S.C.G possibly no bridge braking tonight

It's a moot point, none of those stages are here tonight.

Reposting the theme for the new page.

Competitive Smash!

About a month ago, the Kagaribi 13 Tournament took place in Japan. It's one of the many Smash Bros. Tournaments that are happening these days, but it did have one of the largest amount of prominent competitive Smash players gathered in one place in quite a while.

So, I decided to make a theme around it. I looked at the list of participants in order of highest placing seed, went down the list, and took note of the character each player put down as their main. I kept going until I got 20 different characters.

I only needed to get to the 27th seed before I met the 20 quota. The variety of characters in that list is mad impressive! I think every character was there with at least one player! Goes to show how exceptional the balance in Smash Ultimate is.
Anyway, so as far as competitive Smash is concerned, these are the best 20 characters.
Which is hilarious, because I would only say 5 of these characters are great in comparison to the rest of the roster. But well, we play Smash in a more normal setting, don't we?

Not this week though, I'm going almost all in on this.

Every stage here is allowed in standard competitive tournaments.
At least, that was the plan, but that would only leave us with, like, 7 stages. That's unacceptable, so I expanded it to include stages that are allowed under the "Gentleman Rule" (Stages that are allowed if both players agree to it beforehand)

There are no items tonight.
Yes, I know, I'm one of the biggest advocates of "Smash isn't Smash without items", but you know, I guess I can stomach it every once in a while... or every twelve years...

Now this is important, there's a setting I've activated that is very unothordox here.

Format: 3 Stock, 8 Minutes
FS Meter: Off
Stage Hazards: Off

I have never turned Stage Hazards off even once since this game came out, so I have no idea what it actually changes!
Also, I said I almost went all in on this, because technically I should make every match 1 V 1, but come on, I wanna avoid people waiting to play as much as I can.

Custom Stages from 7:30pm.

EDIT: Oh right, before I forget. When I give the heads up for the last match. Pick Fox.
Yes, I want to do the overplayed competitive Smash joke. We won't get another chance for a very long time. Might as well.

I can't make it tonight.

Geez, I know no items isn't as fun as regular items, but you can be more subtle about it!

Joking, obviously. A shame, but thanks for the heads up.

Yay, I'm the best Fox!

Fun games there, the no item setup does make for some really close matches, and some great finishes too. But let's now put that away for another 10 years. Back to item and mayhem.
