VENGEANCE - A Pichu-only Tournament

(thread may contain pichu)

Welcome, competitors, to Vengeance.

What is Vengeance? Vengeance is a tournament (series, I'll explain further down) hosted by me, Doqtor Kirby. However this isn't your average tournament in the fact that the only allowed character is Pichu.
Why Pichu? I don't see Pichu used that often, if at all. I don't think people see it as competitively viable, so I thought "let's make it the only playable character!" And thus I started Vengeance.
You said tournament (series). What do you mean? I plan on running a Vengeance on every major Minus release (bugfix-only releases don't count, but balance releases do). This Vengeance will be played using Minus 3.Q.
Uh, what are the rules again? Oh! Totally forgot about that!
4 stocks, 8 minutes, no items
Stagelist is as follows:
Starter:
  • Battlefield
  • Smashville
  • Pokemon Stadium 2
  • Dreamland
  • Final Frustration. No that is not a typo.
Counterpick:
  • Spear Pillar
  • Halberd
  • Pokemon Stadium 1
  • Fountain of Dreams
(Yes quite the conservative list, eh?)
Bracket is double elimination - unless I can't get enough players, then I'll do a round robin. Dave's Stupid Rule is in effect: No CPing a stage you've won on. Games are best 2 of 3 until winners and losers finals where they are 3 of 5. Grand Finals are best 4 of 7. Stage striking is 1-2-2-1. In the event a desync happens the game is replayed only if it wasn't unwinnable for one player, and only up to two times. After the third try, the game automatically goes to the one who didn't disconnect. This is to prevent bracket manipulation by gaining a lead then purposely desyncing.
Replay files must be submitted to me or the set doesn't count!!! I want a full archive of each and every tournament I host, so this is a requirement. With the actual replay files, also include the date and who was which Pichu. Optionally, you can include a song to be played on the stages. Also, please let me do them. I understand that if multiple people record replays it'll get done faster, but I have a thing where they have to be consistent, so if you do then prepare to have sets invalidated.

Giggity! Where do I sign up? Right here in this very thread. A bracket will appear when I have enough signed up. Usually this is 8 but I can go up to 16 if enough want to.
When will this happen? Definitely sometime after BDOT 4. Not sure exactly when though.

I don't know if I can make it because date is uncertain, but this part is bothersome to me:

Well if one of the players was already so far down they could not win, why replay the game? I'd think it would, "the game is replayed only if the game was winnable for both players" or something. Also, how does one tell who actually disconnected and who just ended up on the bad end of things, with a disconnecting opponent??

I wrote that wrong sry. Should be "unwinnable".

Thor, there isn't any way to tell who caused a desynch to my knowledge. If you know tech stuff then you can manually desynch but we assume no one here would do that.

Please don't say you're not joining. If you're not signing up don't post. Pichu for top tier!
Rudddddde. I was just saying. Also since i'm soooo nice. I went ahead and did the Minus team a favor and added rim lighting to Pichu so people can fight in style. I also made a Sprite sponsored Pichu just for this event. With CSPs included.

Also for the other useless guys I have a link. Support my Sprite mod by using Sprite Pichu in your matches today. If it ain't Sprite it ain't right. Good luck to all competitors. Almost forgot the download link.

Careful aero, bent's main account got temporarily banned because he advertised his work in too many places. Maybe put it in your sig and put further updates in your thread.

Yeah I asked permission. I'm not going to do that. This was just a silly thing I made just for this tourney.

For the concept, a better name is the conceptchu IMO.

We should also be listed with these names in the bracket when there is one.

I have to get wifi set up for my Wii, but sure, I'll participate. I've never played Pichu much, so this should be entertaining.

Gonna bump this because
1. BDOT is almost done and
2. I don't have enough entrants (I need at least 8)


I also want to get confirmation from the existant entrants if they are in still.
