Counterpicking system

The tournament stages are as follow: Empyrael Paradox, Old Chaos Shrine, Planet's Core, Sky Fortress Bahamut, World of Darkness, Lunar Subterranean, Pandamonium - Top Floor, Kefka's Tower, Edge of Madness

Match 1: Only the above 9 stages will be available for choice and they will be chosen on a smash striking system. Both players must decide who gets to strike a stage out first or decide it with a coin toss. After this decision:

• Player A must choose to strike out between: Empyrael Paradox, Old Chaos Shrine, Planet's Core, Sky Fortress Bahamut, World of Darkness, Lunar Subterranean, Pandamonium - Top Floor, Kefka's Tower, Edge of Madness
• Player B chooses to strike out one of the 8 remaining stages.
• Process continue until one stage remain
• Both players pick their character and PM it to the TO (Double Blind Pick)
• The TO will annouce the characters with the stage name
• Both players pick their character and customize at will.

Match 2: Winner of Match 1 strike two stages of the list above. Next, the loser of Match 1 pick one of the remaining 7. Only then, both players do a double-blind character pick.


Match 3-5: Same procedures of Match 2 apply, based on the previous Match results.
