Smash Ultimate/Retro Gauntlet Challenge

The second M&M Video Games Retro Gauntlet Challenge is upon us! A series of grueling challenges decided by a secret judging panel, from arcades to consoles, speedruns to high-scores, nobody knows who'll win because nobody even knows the rules until we start!

In addition, we'll be running the weekly Smash Ultimate tournament because honestly, it's just fun to watch.

Retro Gauntlet Rules:

-We don't know

-We'll find out when we get there

The never-changing Smash ruleset:

-Double elimination

-Winner's bracket finalist has to be defeated twice by the loser's bracket finalist

-Matches are best two-out-of-three rounds. Rounds are three stocks with a seven minute time limit with items, smash meter, and spirits turned off.

-Mii Fighters of all builds are allowed.

-The first stage in the three-round match will be random Battlefield. After that, the loser of the previous round chooses what stage to fight on. 

-Allowed stages are any Battlefield or Omega stage, along with Town and City, Pokemon Stadium 2, and Smashville. 

-If both competitors agree on a different stage, others may be used.

As always, controllers can be provided, but it is strongly recommended that you bring your own.  These rules are subject to change as suggestions are made.  Payouts will be in M&M Store Credit, to the tune of $10 to first and $5 to second for each tournament. Good luck, and have fun!
