Here's something I used to help run back on the GameFAQs SSBB board when I played vBrawl online a lot:
Champion & Runner-Up rankings for each character! This will encourage players to challenge the best players of any character, which is one of the best ways to improve and learn new techniques. Here's how it works:
- Only Runner-Ups can challenge a Champion for his or her title. Runner-Ups can be challenged by anyone.
- If there are no Runner-Ups, anyone may challenge a Champion for his or her title.
- You must wait at least 24 hours before you can re-challenge a Champion or Runner-Up after losing to one, unless he or she offers a rematch sooner.
- If you challenge a Champion or Runner-Up, and he or she does not arrange to play you within one week, you win the title by default.
- Champions who lose a title by default for not arranging to play in time are demoted to Runner-Ups if a Runner-Up slot is open.
- If there is only one Runner-Up and no Champion, the Runner-Up may claim the Champion slot.
- If there are two Runner-Ups and no Champion, they may have a title match to decide who is the Champion.
- An empty Champion slot may be claimed by anyone if there are no Runner-Ups.
- An empty Runner-Up slot may be claimed by anyone.
- Title holders lose all their titles if they are unresponsive for one month.
- You may give up any titles you have at any time.
- A Runner-Up does not automatically become Champion if the Champion spot becomes empty; it must be claimed.
- All Champion slots will be locked until either one week passes or two Runner-Ups challenge each other for a Champion slot.
- To participate, you must post your Friend Code. Codes from Glyph's BDOT Tournament series are already posted below.
- Post the results of title matches in this topic, and someone will update the listing of current title holders.
- Feel free to post announcements of challenges or any relevant discussion in this topic as well.
- There is currently no limit on how many titles you may hold at once.
For now, all title matches will be best of two out of three, with the same rules as Glyph's BDOT Tournament series. Stage availability may vary.
The actual listing of current Champions and Runner-Ups will be located in the second post of this topic for now. It may be moved to a public Wiki or something later on, because I'm going to need help keeping it updated. Any suggestions on how to do this are welcome!
TITLE MATCH RULES:
- Everyone will be using the most recent codeset. For the sake of getting things running, no custom stages will be allowed (I highly recommend redownloading the full version with no mods, and take extra care that any skins or other mods you add will not interfere with online play. Also, take a minute to make sure your wii is connecting to the internet effectively before you need to play.
- We will be using the following neutrals/counterpicks. If you feel a stage should/shouldn't be included let me know, but I may or may not include it.
Legal Stages:
- Before game 1, both players will strike a neutral stage and three counterpicks (Players can opt to wait to ban counterpicks after game 1 ends as well. Up to you guys). Both players will then either agree to a first stage from the remaining neutrals or randomly select one from the remaining 3 (I'm pretty sure it randomly picks which stage to use from the two players, so just pick the one you want and cross your fingers).
- Loser of game 1 picks a stage from the remaining legal stages. Then the other player if they lose, its pretty straight forward. Loser picks stage.
- You may not select a stage that you have already won on as your counterpick.
- In the event of a crash or desync, the game will only be considered valid if over 4 minutes have progressed with no issues. At that time, the player with more stocks will be declared the winner. Both players may opt for a replay as well. Games that crash before the 4 minute mark will be reset with the same characters and same stage once players have corrected their files.
- Items should be set to NONE and OFF (important to prevent characters like D3 from throwing capsules containing final smashes or other items).
New Rules:
- Default length of Runner-Up Title Matches remains Best of 2/3 Games.
- Default length of Champion Title Matches increases to Best of 3/5 Games.
- If both players agree before the first Match, length may be extended to Best of 3/5, 4/7, or 5/9 Games.
- Challengers must also Private Message (PM) a Title Holder to be able to win a Title by time-out. Just posting your Challenge in this topic isn't enough; if you do not PM the Title-holder as well, he or she essentially has an unlimited amount of time to respond. This does not mean however, that a challenge is unofficial if the challenge is not PM'd through this site. Challenges made on Skype or through the chat room are also acceptable challenges, as long as the challengee responds to them. Time out will only be taken into consideration if the challengee is PM'd or responds to a chat message in other words.
- If a Challenger and a Champ agree on a time and date to fight for a title, and the Challenger doesn't show, the Challenger's Challenge is void and must be resent. If the Champ doesn't show, he or she still has 7 days from the time of the Challenge to reschedule.
