I'm back, bitches.
...
Well, not exactly. I'm not back in that monthly swing yet. But, I have taken the reigns of TOing twice more to bring the community this obviously Danganronpa-themed pair of tournaments. So why two? Well, there's a few crucial differences between the two in the rulesets. Prepare yourselves for this list:

• HOPE is Double Elimination, DESPAIR is Swiss to Top X Cut.
• HOPE uses the new 4.0bc official stagelist. DESPAIR uses the old 4.0b, if you really liked that one.
• HOPE has a 7 minute timer, DESPAIR uses 8.
• HOPE is at 1:47PM on Sunday, DESPAIR is at 4PM on Saturday.

So uh, yeah, good luck and whatnot. Was never good at closing statements. Ehehe.

Spoiler: Ruleset for Brawl Minus HOPE/DESPAIR

Basic rules:

• 4 stocks
• 7 minutes [8 for DESPAIR]
• No items
• Dave's Stupid Ass Rule (DSAR): You can't pick a stage you won on in the set
• Sets are best of 3 games, winners, losers, and grand finals are best of 5. Salty Suites are best of 7 unless specified otherwise.
• Game 1 characters are double-blind. After game 1, the loser of the previous game announces the stage choice, the winner announces a character counterpick if desired.
• f a desync occurs, the match is replayed. If continuous desyncs occur, the player with the most stocks and least percent wins. If there is a discrepancy, it's the TO's decision.
• If timeout occurs, the player with most stocks/least percent wins. If there's same stocks and percent, see me.
• In all cases of discrepancy, the ingame Results Screen decides the winner. If Sudden Death occurs, same stock/percent rules apply.
• Stalling is banned. This should be pretty self-expanatory.
• Gentleman's Clause is allowed. All rules can be thrown out the window if both players agree.

Are either of them in wifi?

 

[Doqtor Kirby]

Not at the moment, but I should make one of them WiFi. Genius idea.

 

[Kymaera K1ng]

woooooooo

 

[SilverStarApple]

But wifi sux and netplay is better.

 

[Kymaera K1ng]

But wifi sux and netplay is better.

Yeah, but the point is to get more people involved since a lot of people can't afford computers that can run dolphin at an acceptable rate for a tournament. Wifi isn't even bad if you have good internet.

Plus, there is a way to use a wired connection for the Wii using the Wii LAN Adapter. It is more stable than a wireless connection. The problem is that not a lot of people know how to access the Wii's Wi-Fi. The only way to access it is if y0u used Wi-Fi before the cutoff date.

 

[SilverStarApple]

Huh. My computer's also pretty shitty, so... yeah, ok.
