    Regarding Tournaments

    I really want to have a Team's Tournament. It's much more difficult to setup but it gets more players in and can advance pretty quickly. I absolutely love 2v2 and FFA, I think it would be a lot of fun to have one of these. There is too many other Tourney's going on, so maybe after one ends would be a good time... Anyone else think it would be fun? I'm really not sure who is into FFA and Team's besides me, it seems a lot of people are into 1v1's which get boring to me after a while.

    Team sounds like a nice change of pace, I'd do it.

    I actually despise doing 1v1. The game was meant to be played with 4 people, and it's definitely a lot more fun that way.

    If I could run 4 people without a hitch I'd be all for it, though you'd probably see me hump ike selection even moreso than I do now because a team mate able to stop my enemy from moving is a buffet.

    I don't care who I get teamed up with, as long as they don't suck.

    So far, my best teammate is Ike, such an insane combo with me for some reason.

    Re: Regarding Tournaments

    Not a big fan of FFA with 4 people to be honest. Alot of people like to run away and hide which can be annoying. At least with teams it's alot harder to pull off; mostly because if you let your teammate die to 2 opponents you're screwed in the end.

    Also not sure if this is a tourney thread or if you're just getting opinions on this type of play.

    Re: Regarding Tournaments

    I'm asking if people would be interested in one after the others clear, since there are several going on. I wasn't sure who was into 4player matches besides myself.

    And disadvantageous if you're using time instead of stock.

    Only if you're not in the lead, it's smarter to play keep away if you have a lead and just snipe KO's when people are above 90.

    Easier said than done, when somebody has built up a lot of damage on an opponent, that person usually has pretty good control of the opponent and can exert some pressure on the guy who was standing on the side and make him back off.

    It's not as hard as it sounds actually, typically by the time people realize what you're doing theyre already at least a point a piece down, if not 2. By that point you've already worked up a 4-6 point lead and unless hat timed match is 8 minutes or longer that's 3 people trying to get their 6 points back from 1 character, while still trying to fight eachother. In a FFA people ganking other people's work happens all the time, most people arent quick to pick up on someone doing it intentionally unless theyre making it obvious and standing on the other side of the stage.

    Right but that can be countered, and such countering happens frequently.

    You can't counter somebody standing on the sidelines due to no punishment for that in stock without exposing yourself to the other guy.
