SSB General Competitive/Tournament Discussion. EVO 2016 ruleset is out

[MrStardustRicon]

I'm both happy and upset that I didn't get into the competitive community until after the stages were mostly banned. Happy because I don't have to deal with dumb things that would cost me the match, but upset that I can't form a real opinion on those stages.

Trash/lazy ruleset

Explain?

Explain?

I'm no expert but at a glance it looks like they're playing it overly safe to avoid backlash after last year.

The stage list is pretty thin, 2 stock is kinda lame and I don't personally agree with not allowing Miis to have custom specials.

aside from 2 stocks, i like it. lylat over dreamland is weird as far as i know (or i'm not knowledgeable with what's common), but it makes sense. and quality of staves > quantity.

i don't like miis having customs since nobody else gets them. just my two cents.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of Lylat being a starter.

Bump because ZeRo is making a tier list.

Agree disagree?

[S_Cero]

Agreed with everything except corrin who I don't think even belongs up there, but that's probably because I've never fought a corrin that's worth a damn.
