Before game one of a set, players may elect to initiate a double-blind character pick. Both players must tell a judge, in private, which characters they are selecting for game one. The judge must validate these selections before the match begins.

First Strike Procedure

Before game one of a set, players must determine who will strike the first stage. Appropriate methods for determining first strike are as follows: Best-of-one Rock-Paper-Scissors Highest Game & Watch Hammer Number Starter Stage Strikes Before game one of a set, the player who strikes first (as determined above) will strike one Starter stage. The other player then strikes two Starter stages. The player who strikes first will then select a stage from the remaining two Starter stages.

Counter-picking Procedure

Before playing subsequent games after game one, players have the option to counter-pick in the following order: (1) characters, (2) stages. The following procedure applies for best-of-three and best-of-five sets.

Character Counter-picks

The winner of the previous game will select a character to use in the next game first, followed by the loser of the previous match.

Stage Counter-picks

The winner of the previous game will strike two legal stages.* The loser of the previous game will then select from the remaining stages.

Strikes are different than bans; strikes only last for one game.
