In the current Smash Back Room rulebook, all levels are definitely listed as Starters, Counterpicks, or Forbidden Tiers, as follows: “Legal Levels” refers to levels and arenas in the game that are considered playable in professional Smash Bros. competitions. More recently, Smash Remix has allowed some hacked stages in tournaments like Zebes Landing (a windless version of Dream Land) and even stages with a different layout, like 64 versions of Smashville, Yoshi`s Story, Pokémon Stadium, and others. The term legal step can also be used to describe any neutral or counter-selection phase, or equivalently, any non-prohibited phase. After the first battle, the losing player can now choose a counter-choice level. These are levels that cannot be start-up stages, but can be selected as counter-choices in most tournaments in addition to the starting stages mentioned above, which can also be used as counter-selections: There are many community preferences regarding the choice of stages, with no agreed standard in all regions as to what exactly constitutes a “legal phase”. The legality of a phase may therefore depend on the region in which the tournament takes place. This is especially true for Brawl and Smash 4, as there is no officially standardized scene list. Pokémon Stadium 2 in Brawl, for example, was generally banned in the tri-state area, while tournaments in Texas generally allowed the scene to be a legal counter-election. The commonality of the characters can also play a role in which the phases are legal or prohibited. Also in Brawl, Meta Knight`s growing importance in the metagame meant that stage lists were becoming more restrictive in most regions. In the Tri-State region, Meta Knight was not excluded from tournaments and, as a result, the Tri-State tournament scene banned or restricted stages such as Delfino Plaza, Hallebard and Rainbow Cruise due to Meta Knight`s overwhelming power on these stages.
In some areas, however, Meta Knight was not as widespread as the tri-state region; As such, some of the above levels have different laws, with the halberd sometimes being a starting level and the frigate Orpheon moving from a forbidden level to a counter-choice. WHOBO 4, the first American major banned MK, had a long list of stages that included Delfino Plaza, Hellerd, Rainbow Cruise and Brinstar as counter-choices, although most of these stages were banned in legal MK tournaments at the time. There is a different list of steps depending on which part of the game you are in. There are starting stages that can be selected before the start of a game: I wonder what people generally consider to be the legal phases of the tournament, or the phases that are systematically used in competition. Can someone please give me his list? Thanks The competitive scene of Smash Ultimate fights with itself when it comes to deciding which steps are legal for competitive play. Each tournament organizer will have their own idea of which steps are legal and which are not, but these are usually the main steps you should see at events. Legal tournament refers to stages, promotions, and sometimes even characters that can be used in tournaments. Each game has different standards for what is legal for the tournament, due to a variety of levels and the fact that the characters and physics of the game are modified in each game. All levels used in competition always disable hazards and level transformations to eliminate RNG from the game. This gives stages like Pokémon Stage 2 a chance to be potentially viable. Despite the list of prohibited stages, most tournaments include a variation of the “gentleman`s rule,” a rule that allows players to choose any level, including prohibited levels, if all players in the game agree.
This is usually the only way for forbidden stages to watch serious tournaments. But even if this rule is in effect, it rarely makes sense to play on forbidden stages outside of a much more skilled player who allows a more opposing or very young player to choose any level, as most competitive players never want to voluntarily play on the forbidden levels, for the same reasons that the rulebook had forbidden them. Even if the rule is in effect, TOs can still prohibit certain stages via the gentleman`s rule if the scene tends to delay the tournament by causing much longer games (such as Temple, New Pork City and The Great Cave Offensive). Neutral levels can be chosen from any game in a set, including the first game. These are also known as starter levels (not to be confused with the term for stages that don`t need to be unlocked to be used in the game). Start.gg currently has a small selection of rule sets enabled for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which can be selected during the event creation process for your tournament page. When you activate a set of rules for your Ultimate tournament, players can make character and level selections in their start.gg game window. However, unlike most eSports titles, the Super Smash Bros. series has not had the support of its publisher, Nintendo, in the past.
Competitions are organized by individual tournament organizers and they have to set their own rules for games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In general, due to the wide variety between stages and types of scenes and the series as a whole, very few levels are balanced enough to be legal for professional competitive play, which is why the majority of stages are prohibited in all games. Music tracks are not tied to specific phases. My Music in the sound settings allows you to select all the songs in the series to which the scene is linked! The following phases are legal in the PMBR 2018 Full Recommended Rules Set [1] The startup steps are selected in set 1 of a set. One player selected at random beats the first start level, then the other player beats two start levels, and finally the first player beats the last start level. Although rare, characters have sometimes been excluded from some tournaments, usually high-level characters who are considered cheap or broken. The winner of the previous game will be 3 levels in a best of 3 and 2 levels in a best of 5 In Super Smash Bros.
Brawl tournaments, it was quickly realized that Meta Knight possessed powerful attributes that brought him to his own level and were considered cheap by many. Over the years, massive debates raged over whether or not he should be banned from tournaments, with the final general consensus that Meta Knight would be legal, but teams with two Meta Knights were not. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with the highest number of stages in the series and the ability to eliminate scene dangers, has the most potentially legal stages of any smash game. Since the level list and danger switch were revealed, players and TOs have been discussing the game`s level list and have yet to find a definitive answer. Major tournaments have largely made a mistake by having relatively large stadium lists (eight to ten), but some regional tournaments have already been reduced to four to six legal levels. The following is Smash 64`s ban list for stages in tournaments. As of mid-2015, four levels – Dream Land, Hyrule Castle, Congo Jungle and Peach`s Castle – were legal. Currently, Dream Land is the only stage that can be used in tournaments. However, as tournaments have moved from the vanilla version of the game to mod 19XX, in some tournaments such as GENESIS 5 or GENESIS 6, the Duel Zone and Final Destination levels, which were not available without piracy, saw some presence in doubles tournaments, although this is usually rare.
