Wii U Details

• Stage Striking: Players eliminate stages from the Starter/Neutral stage list until there is one stage remaining. The player or team without port priority strikes first. Then the other player/team strikes two stages. Then the player/team with port priority strikes one more stage and the remaining stage is used for the first game of the set.

• Stage Clause: A player/team may not pick any stage they previously won on during the set.

• Stage Bans: During the stage ban phase, the winning player may ban one stage from the stage list.
• Self-Destruct Moves: If a match ends with the successful use of a character’s self-destruct move, the results screen will determine the winner.

• Team Colors: Players’ character colors must match their team’s color when possible, to avoid confusion (ex: Luigi on the green team must use the green costume).
• If a player uses Cloud, they must be on the blue team in order to clear confusion about Cloud’s limit break. This rule may not be punishable after the fact, a TO must be informed before any match starts and the team must switch off blue.

• DLC Characters: All DLC characters are legal in addition to the entire cast of characters on the select screen.
• Rules or stages that aren’t listed here as legal may be used if both players agree and both understand that they aren’t already listed as legal.
• Participants cannot use the Wii U Gamepad if multiple players in the same match wish to use it.
• All controllers that do not play the game for you are allowed. (Ex: anything that gives 2+ outputs for 1 input is not allowed)
