"Super Smash Bros. Melee - The Tournament"

Hey, I'm gonna run a tournament of my own. It may have been done a few times before, but they're good fun and the more the merrier, eh? Okay then, so it's going to work like this:
---------------------------------------------
There are sixteen places available (four groups of four). To register for the tournament - you don't need SSBM to do this - pick one of the characters below:

- Mario
- Dr. Mario
- Luigi
- Bowser
- Peach
- Yoshi
- Donkey Kong
- Captain Falcon
- Ganondorf
- Fox McCloud
- Falco
- Ness
- Ice Climbers
- Kirby
- Samus
- Zelda
- Link
- Young Link
- Pikachu
- Jiggly-Puff
- Marth
- Roy

Once you've picked the character you want, tell me by posting a message in this thread. If, however, you notice that someone already has the character you want, you can still have that character but please specify a different colour in the post.
---------------------------------------------
All the rules will be set as default and the matches will be two minutes long. The arena will be RANDOM each time, and your characters will be set at CPU Level 9. The only change to the rules will be the objects on VERY HIGH probability, to make for a more unpredictable match. I will start the matches at 18:00 tomorrow (25th July) providing sixteen people have signed up.
---------------------------------------------
It will start with group stages (A,B,C,D) and you will play against the other three people in your group totalling three matches before you get to the knock out stage. Once the group stages are up, the top two people from each group will qualify for the quarter finals, then, logically, it will go onto the semi finals, third place play offs, and ultimately the grand final.
---------------------------------------------
I thought this might be a fun thing to do, considering the recent success of Foreman's tournament - so post you character and possibly colour to register for the sixteen!

That's more like it Uncle Albert.

You're goin DOWN Tilta! :P

Come on guys, I'm beginning to feel that hardly anyone's following this tournament!

Yep. In fact, you didn't lose a single group match.

well 3rd or 4th place aint bad, well done Young Link!

And so, I can draw up the final fixtures:

Third place play offs:
Young Link (BIGMAN) vs. Yoshi (Na†ßu©)

Final:
Dr. Mario (Uncle Albert) vs. Captain Falcon (Tiltawhirl)

Check back tomorrow for the epic third place play offs!

Semi-finals – Match 2 of 2

Yoshi (Na†ßu©) vs. Captain Falcon (Tiltawhirl)
Stage: Dream Land – Green Greens

This was extremely close, and what a semi-finals match should be. It looked like Yoshi would win, thanks to his good use of the hammer, but Captain Falcon picked up a Maxim Tomato, regained health and blasted Yoshi out of the arena. It then went on to sudden death:

Yoshi (Na†ßu©):
2 KNOCK OUTs, 2 FALLs, 0 SELF DESTRUCTs = 0.

Captain Falcon (Tiltawhirl):
2 KNOCK OUTs, 2 FALLs, 0 SELF DESTRUCTs = 0.

DRAW
SUDDEN DEATH WINNER:
Captain Falcon (Tiltawhirl)

Semi-finals – Match 1 of 2

Young Link (BIGMAN) vs. Dr. Mario (Uncle Albert)
Stage: Infinite Glacier – Icicle Mountain

A fairly uneventful match this one, with few items being used with the exception of the hammer which Dr. Mario kept picking up (to find the head promptly fall off). Eventually, it went to sudden death, and it was Dr. Mario’s coin attack that won him the match:

Young Link (BIGMAN):
1 KNOCK OUT, 1 FALL, 0 SELF DESTRUCTs = 0.

Dr. Mario (Uncle Albert):
1 KNOCK OUT, 1 FALL, 0 SELF DESTRUCTs = 0.

DRAW
SUDDEN DEATH WINNER:
Dr. Mario (Uncle Albert)

Here are the fixtures for the forthcoming semi-finals:

Young Link (BIGMAN) vs. Dr. Mario (Uncle Albert)
Yoshi (Na†ßu©) vs. Captain Falcon (Tiltawhirl)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Falco!
