Stage Selections

[Masahiro Sakurai]

This thread will allow you to select and ban stages should you win the Attack Sandbag's power or get voted into The Ring. Since the card play deadline and stage select deadline are so close together, this will work by leaving preference lists here in advance. You can leave three different preference lists, one for stage selection, and two for banning, either from The Ring or Stage Select. These should look like this:

Stage selections:

1: Midgar
2: Fountain of Dreams
3: Pac-Land
4: Flat Zone X
5: Boxing Ring
6: Figure 8 Circuit
7: Summit

Bans if I win the Attack Sandbag power:

1: Mementos
2: Brinstar Depths
3: Yggdrasil's Altar
4: Dr Wily's Castle

Ban if I am in The Ring:

1: Umbra Clock Tower

You can update preference lists as often as you like, but you must have a preference list with enough stages on it to bid on the Attack Sandbag . I recommend ranking as many of the stages as you can immediately. Bans and selections are final at 9:00 pm board time after a vote, meaning you can update your list once you know who is in The Ring, if you so choose.

Not an official list / vote, just a note to self:

Challenges I feel I'd win:

Skyloft (find hidden scrabble tiles & build words)

Spirit train (nono-path) (Do practice!)

Distant Planet (embedded images but with collection requirements)

I *could* do well in, but would lose to a pro/ho:

Dracula's Castle (Twenty Levels)

Moray Towers (Four Colour theorum)

Great Cave Offensive (Related words chain-map)

Mario Galaxy (Circular junction maze)

Magicant (distorted avatars)

Paper Mario (three image puzzles at once) (Reminder practice how Proboards handles these)

Warioware (Micro-gauntlet - 21 possible challenges in 20 mins)

Pokemon Stadium (match image tiles to bigger grid - inc. flipped & mirrored tiles)

Corneria (Dropdown) (if earlier challenges veer difficult, move this to win pile)

Banana skins - winneable, but slip-ups very possible:

Spiral mountains (Google-fu general trivia and exact word filters)

Shadow Island (Holly's missing vowel sentences)

Frigate Orpheon (Combo locks)

Kongo Jungle (multi-path maze with best-route plotting)

I should only play if I practice first:
Hollow Bastion (Shade majority puzzle)

Super Happy Tree (That Genius game *all same, all different*)

Avoid / get rid of early (Ranked by boot priority):

1) Smashville (Family fortunes based on pre-game survey)

2) Garreg Mach (likely Conner-level Maths)

3) Big Blue (maths in grids, followed by logic puzzle)

[Masahiro Sakurai]

Holly's? HOLLY'S? I'm offended.

[Falco]

I'm not sure three lists covers the paths here :unsure: There's a whole mess of other variables - like if I won the Stage Select power and I'm in the ring, is verrrry different to what I'd select if I won the same when I'm not in there. Right? I think?

I may be misunderstanding something.

Masahiro Sakurai, Let me know if this is an acceptably formatted vote:

---

If I'm NOT in the Ring, & using the attack-bag ban, start from the top:

If I AM in the ring and overall attack-bag SELECTING a stage, use this list to Select:

(i.e. these are things I'd like to save for the future, or if I'm duelling this round, play right now)

1) Spirit train
2) Distant Planet

3) Skyloft

4) Great Cave Offensive

5) Moray Towers

6) Pokemon Stadium

7) Corneria

8) Mario Galaxy

9) Magicant
10) Paper Mario

---

If I'm in the ring, ban from the top:

If I'm in the ring and have a second ban from the sandbag, ban another:

If I'm NOT in the Ring & overall attack bag stage select, choose from the top of this list:

(i.e. these ones I'd like to force other people to use up early, or if I'm duelling this round, then avoid myself)

1) Smashville

2) Garreg Mach

3) Big Blue

4) Super Happy Tree

5) Hollow Bastion

6) Frigate Orpheon

7) Shadow Island

8) Spiral mountains

9) Dracula's Castle

10) Kongo Jungle

This is fine by me! There are a ton of scenarios, yeah, those three were just the ones I thought were most common when I was writing it.

Starting to get a little light here. But we're pretty equal in offing one I don't like versus do like. Might start throwing down a few low Attack bids in rounds where I think it doesn't matter to tip that scales in my favour post-merge.
