Ledge Grab Limit In the event of a timeout, either Player or Team may invoke the Ledge Grab Limit rule by asking to view the Cliffhangers statistic for all Players in the results screen. If either Player or at least one Player on a Team exceeded 60 Cliffhangers during the Game, that Player/Team forfeits the Game. If both Players, or at least one Player on each Team, exceeded 60 Cliffhangers, this rule is disregarded. If Players voluntarily exit the results screen before checking Cliffhangers, they may forfeit the right to invoke this rule at the sole discretion of the TO. In the event of a 1-stock tiebreaker, the maximum number of Cliffhangers is 15.
Wobbling “Wobbling” with Ice Climbers is not permitted. A Player is considered to be Wobbling if the following conditions are met: 23
The Player grabs his/her opponent with the Player-controlled Ice Climber. The CPU-controlled Ice Climber has not been KO’d. During the grab, the opponent is locked in continuous hitstun by a series of at least 5 attacks, with at least 3 of those attacks being from the CPU-controlled Ice Climber. For avoidance of doubt, multi-hit moves such as Blizzard count as 1 attack. Freeze Glitch Activating the “Freeze Glitch” with the Ice Climbers is not allowed; penalties may or may not be enforced at the sole discretion of Tournament Organizers.
Stage Striking Players play a best-of-1 Rock-Paper-Scissors, and winner may choose to either strike a stage first or select a port first. Stages are struck in a 1-2-2-1 order.
Stage Bans After each game of the set, before selection of stages and/or characters, the Player who won the previous game may ban one stage from either the Starter or Counterpick list. This ban does not persist throughout the Match. This rule is not in effect for Best-of-Five Matches.
