The most confusing thing so far was seeing a match with Sheik vs Zelda. In "Ocarina of Time," you find out they have a lot in common (don't want to post a spoiler). In other SSB games, they're not even separate characters. I guess you could say the same about some of the other games in the series and the rosters (Dr. Mario being able to battle Mario, Adult Link vs Toon Link).
I'm not sure who Shulk is.
Maybe I'll be able to set up matches or submit rankings. SSB in real life tends to drive me crazy, or else I've never reached the point where it seems like a complicated game where you can block and parry another player's attacks.

: I hinted at a 3rd show in a post on the board
: and I'm sure you guys didn't even REMOTELY
: expect this! On the downside it's not like
: the WWE games where the roster can grow by
: leaps and bounds with official DLC and
: community created DLC, but on the upside
: while WWE arenas don't necessarily seem all
: that different in the course of play aside
: from the entrance, each stage here can be
: RADICALLY different from the next. Also,
: I'm sure there are characters here that you
: just LOVE and really want to see do well. I
: guess that's a side effect of being a long
: time gamer, eh? Anyway, let's get to the
: opening Rankings as a direct result of the
: 5-round tournament I played out using every
: character in the game...
:
: King: 1-Villager
: Prince: 2-Pikachu
: Knight: 3-Sheik vs 4-Toon Link
:
: Rung 1: 5-Meta Knight vs 5-Wii Fit Trainer
: Rung 2: 7-Marth vs 7-Zelda
: Rung 3: 9-Diddy Kong vs 10-Captain Falcon vs
: 10-Lucario vs 10-Ganondorf
:
: Contenders Pool: 13-Sonic vs 13-King Dedede
: vs 13-Shulk vs 13-Ike vs 17-Mega Man vs
: 17-Wario vs 17-Luigi vs 17-Dark Pit
:
: Hopefuls Pool: ???
:
:
:
: Alright, first off I do intend to have the
: Contenders Pool be a 6-character pool like
: XTW but with undertermined specific rankings
: from the tournament, I figured why not let
: it be 8 characters this time and let them
: decide who moves up and who drops down.
: And, sure I could have done more matches to
: determine more specific rankings but I felt
: there were plenty of tournament matches
: already.
:
: Also, unlike the WWE games where you can
: have up to 40 competitors in the Hopefuls
: Pool, eight is the max in Smash Bros so as a
: result I'll have you name a Top 5 for each
: Hopefuls Pool in the future. The good news,
: though, is that in XTSB you can submit a
: mode & settings for the Hopefuls Pool
: so, much like the XTW Singles Contenders
: Pools, XTSB Hopefuls Pools can be unique
: each time.
:
: I will also NOT be doing a team version of
: XTSB in part due to the smaller roster than
: WWE games. But that doesn't mean there
: won't be team matches since if there are 4
: characters on a rung you can vote for a
: 2-vs-2 match.
:
: While I'll have the options and modes listed
: with the roster I'll just mention the 3 main
: modes in Smash Bros...
:
: Time Battle: It's kind of like a wrestling
: iron man match. All competitors will
: compete throughout the time limit and will
: score one point each time they score a
: knockout but will LOSE one point each time
: they are KO'ed. At the end of the time if
: any characters are tied for the lead they
: have a Sudden Death round where their damage
: is at 300% meaning within mere seconds there
: will be a winner.
:
: Stock Battle: This is what you saw
: throughout the tournament. Characters have
: a set number of lives and once the've lost
: them all, they're out. Additionally a time
: limit can be imposed (like in the
: tournament) just to be sure battles don't go
: on excessively long. If the time limit runs
: out the one with the most lives remaining
: wins. If multiple characters have the same
: number of lives... Sudden Death time.
:
: Coin Battle: This is ONLY available to
: battles with 4 or less characters. Coins
: appear as a result of hitting opponents and
: after the time expires the one with the most
: coins wins.
:
: In stock battles you can set the number of
: lives from 1 to 99 and time limits can also
: be 1 to 99 minutes with any digit chosen.
: So if you want a time limit to be 7 minutes
: or 4 minutes or 12 minutes you can. Same
: with lives. If you want 4 lives each or 7
: lives or, like a cat, 9 lives you can. It
: may take a few tries for you guys to come up
: with variations that end up unique,
: interesting, yet reasonable so battles don't
: go on too long or short. There are also a
: few other settings that are listed in the
: roster area.
:
:
:
: So let's get to booking this new show! From
: the battle types, settings, and roster
: below submit the following to help shape
: the next event...
:
: Knight: 3-Sheik vs 4-Toon Link... Choose the
: battle type and settings.

: option you want and submit what is needed
: for that option...
: 4-WAY: All 4 will compete for the win.
: Choose the battle type and settings.
: 1-vs-1: This will create 2 separate battles
: sharing the same rules with Diddy vs
: Ganondorf in one match and Falcon vs Lucario
: in the other. Choose the battle type and
: settings.
: TEAM: Diddy & Falcon vs Lucario &
: Ganondorf. Choose the battle type and
