Welcome to the Obligatory Gimmick SSBB Tournament!

It's Smogon's fifth SSBB tournament, so we've had some pretty solid success so far. So what's so different with this one than most other tournaments? Well, the word Random is a small key here.

Each round, players will be given a team of 3 different characters to use in the round. The way to win their match is to beat their opponent with each character. Example: Sonuis (Kirby, Luigi, Pikachu) vs. zerowing (Wolf, Jigglypuff, Mario) is a match for the round. Sonuis would have to defeat zerowing with Kirby, Luigi, and Pikachu in order to advance to the next round. Assuming Sonuis wins and advances to round two, his next match could be: Sonuis (Zelda, Peach, King Dedede) vs. Firestorm (Ganondorf, Bowser, Kirby). Sonuis would have to win with his new team to advance into R3. Repeat. Oh, I did forget to mention that teams will be revealed publically? Yeah. They are. Forgot :)

Let's get onto the other rules then, shall we?
  • This is a Double Elimination Tournament.
    • If you lose your first match, you are not out of the tournament. You get a second chance.
  • Matches are to be held on the Nintendo Wi-Fi network.
    • If you do manage to know your opponent, then feel more than free to meet up with them and play your match with them rather than online.
  • A match is a best three out of five "Stock" game. (See gimmick details above for winning condition).
    • Stock: Three
    • In addition, set a time limit of 8 Minutes for each game.
  • I trust that there will be no stalling.
  • Items will be off.
    • Be sure you manually turn them off and not just set their drop rate to "None". The Pity Final Smash will still trigger.
  • Stages are SET ON RANDOM. To see a list of Playable and Banned stages, reference the list below.

<MrE> Looks like another gimmick round where my opponent's worst character is better than my best

I think it's a conspiracy against me.

Colin fucking rigged this horse shit

Round 5 I had Toon Link, first and only half-assed decent character I've had since Kirby in Round 2.

<MrE> Consider this:
<MrE> I am one of only two participants who have never received a single S-tier character
<MrE> the other was yoshi!, whom I beat first round and placed last so he only got two rounds of characters anyway
<MrE> I also did not receive a bye

Potentially editing in more info as I do RESEARCH.

No, nevermind, people already know how much I get screwed by luck as always and the above illustrates the point well enough.

Amazing matches Deck Knight, some of the best I've had so far!

kicks the shit out of
on WarioWare
Deciding to switch things up, I went for
against
on Zebes and won.

Then,
makes a comeback against
on Norfair.

Knowing only one of my options was left, Deck Knight went for
against
and won handily on Luigi Circuit (lol tiers)

And finally, on Lylat Cruise, we each had one character left. After a pretty intense battle, one cry rang out.

"FALCON... PUNCH!"

had won against


Again, great matches Deck Knight!
 
Thunderhorse

At the risk of it being a double post, I won. Despite the lack of smash icons, I already made it pretty :).

Fox won against ZSS on Rumble Falls
Pikachu lost to Olimar on Frigate Orpheon
Pikachu lost to Pit on Rainbow Cruise
Pikachu won against ZSS on Halberd
DK won against ZSS on Luigi's Mansion

There is only one way to celebrate a moment like this
