If you're looking to play, start a google hangout by clicking the drop down menu in the top corner, clicking on hangouts, and inviting the Google+ community. There probably won't be enough people to flesh out a Google+ hangout until at least the European launch, but feel free to try. Be sure to also advertise it on IRC.
So, let's get to the topic of a tournament. I think it'd be best to have a live tournament to start off for a few hours. We can do a traditional slow tournament if we want, but I thinking getting in a quick one while people are excited and playing the game sounds best. I was thinking of three possible general rule sets. Which do you guys like the best?
Each rule set have some of the same over arching rules. Items are off, customization is off (for the sake of most of us not having the custom moves we want).
- For Glory Style: 2 stock, 5 minutes. Only FD stages are allowed.
- For Glory Style + other stages: 2 Stock, 5 minutes. FD variants, Battlefield, Yoshi's Island, and Lumiose City are allowed.
- Traditional Style: 3 Stock 8 minutes. FD variants, Battlefield, Yoshi's Island, and Lumiose City are allowed.
Which rule set do you prefer? Feel free to make suggestions as well.
As for when the tournament would be, I have a few time frames I can work in to host things:
- Anytime on Friday up to 6pm EST
- 10pm EST and onward on Friday
- Anytime on Saturday
Which time frame would you guys like to play in?
I know a few people lurking here have 3DS capture cards, so if for some reason you want to record your matches or a grand finals, feel free.
