The First Ever Street Fighter 6 Tournament at A.K.A. Arcade! Double Elim. First to 2 First Round/First to 3 Finals & Grand Finals.

A.K.A. Arcade Street Fighter 6 Tournament

- Tournament Length

This tournament is double elimination (two total match losses).

- Set Length

All tournament sets will be best-of-three (first-to-two wins), until Top Eight at which point tournament sets will be best-of-five (first-to-three wins). Rules below do not change between these two set formats.

- Set Procedure

Each player will select their characters. Either player may elect to do Double-blind Character Selection as detailed in section 5.
Players will use Starter Stage Striking to determine the first stage — see Game Rules section 3.1 for details.
The players will play the first game of the set.
The winning player from the preceding game will choose two stages to be banned, as detailed in Game Rules section 3.2. The losing player of the preceding game will then pick a stage for the next game, adhering to the stage clause as detailed in Game Rules section 3.3, and any bans.
The winning player from the preceding game will announce their character selection for the next game.
The losing player from the preceding game will announce their character selection for the next game.
The next game is played.
Repeat steps four through eight for all subsequent games until the set is complete.

- Stage Agreement Clause

Players may select any LEGAL stage if they both agree on it. Players may not play on illegal stages or change the length/terms of a set. If this is violated, both players will be subject to complete disqualification from the event.

- Double-blind Character Selection

Either player may request that a double-blind selection occur. In this situation, a pool captain, referee, or third party will be told, in secret, of each player’s character choices for the first round. Both players are to then select their first round character, with the pool captain, referee, or other third party validating the character selections.

- Stage Striking

Players will play a best-of-one game of rock paper scissors, and the winner may choose to either strike first or strike second. Stages will be chosen in a P1-P2-P2-P1 order.

- Pausing and the Home Button

Pausing is to turned OFF in the settings. However, if it is not, pausing is only legal while either player remains upon their OWN respawn platform, and only for the purpose of summoning a Tournament Official, or in the case of a controller malfunction. All other pauses will incur a stock loss to the player who pauses the game. If the pause causes the opponent to lose their last stock, the pausing player receives a game loss. This rule also applies to controllers which cause the game to revert to the Switch home screen.

- Stalling

Stalling, or intentionally making the game unplayable, is a bannable offense at the discretion of Tournament Officials. Stalling includes, but is not limited to, becoming invisible, continuing infinites past 300%, and reaching a position that the player’s character can never be reached by the opposing character. Stalling will result in a forfeit of the game for the player that initiated the action.

- Self-Destruct Moves

If a game ends with a self-destruct move, the results screen will determine the winner. If a sudden death occurs as the result of a self-destruct move, a standard sudden death play-off game applies — see section 10 for details.

- Sudden Death

If a game goes to Sudden Death, the winner is determined by stocks and percentage at the time the game ends. If both players are tied in stocks, the player with the lower percentage is the winner. In the event of a percentage tie, or a game in which both players lose their last stock simultaneously, a one-stock tiebreaker will be played with a three-minute time limit on the same stage and with the same characters as the tied game. The results of an in-game 300% Sudden Death do not count. If Sudden Death occurs in a Sudden Death game, this process is repeated.

- Warm-ups

Warm-up periods, button checks and “handwarmers” may not exceed 60 seconds on the game clock. Violation of this rule may result in a game loss at the discretion of the Tournament Official.

- Tardiness

Anyone who is not present for their set 10 minutes past the scheduled start time of the round is subject to a total disqualification from the event.
