General Game Rules

• Character Selection Characters for the first game are chosen double-blind (at the same time). For successive matches, the winner chooses their character first, and then the loser chooses their character. Characters are chosen before the stage is selected.

• If a player wishes to choose a random character, that character may remain unknown to both players until the game starts only if the random character pool includes ALL characters. Players using custom random character pools must determine which character is randomly chosen before proceeding to Stage Selection.

• Stage Selection When choosing stages, a player cannot return to any stage they have previously won on without the consent of their opponent (modified Dave’s Stupid Rule). Playing a match on a stage where this rule applies without immediately stopping and notifying your opponent that you wish to invoke this rule implies that you have agreed to play on it.

• Stage Legality All stages available in the game are legal in both singles and doubles. The legal starter stagelist will be displayed in-game. Starter stages include all stages not marked “COUNTERPICK”.
