In the Pokémon franchise, battles draw huge audiences. Accordingly, Super Smash Bros. Melee's Pokémon Stadium stage features packed stands, no doubt drawn by the novel arena, which transforms into Rock, Water, Grass and Fire configurations. You're seated in the nosebleed sections of the stands, able to see the jumbotron but having a hard time seeing the stage itself. This challenge will be a visual one, requiring some attention to detail and speedy searching as you try to place images from the jumbotron onto where they are on the stage.
When you start the duel, you'll be presented with a large image, divided into square sections. These squares will have coordinates, with letters for the rows and numbers for the columns. Below this, you will also have some icons, each of which is an exact match for the square sections in the large image. Once you identify where each of the icons come from, you'll need to combine their coordinates together in alphabetical then numerical order. This list of coordinates in all caps without spaces will form a password to a locked board; accessing this locked board will cause the arena to transform, revealing the next image and icons.
As the duel progresses, the camerawork will get trickier. For the second image, some of the icons will be mirrored and flipped, and for the third, some of the icons will be rotated, making things more difficult. Once you unlock the final board, you'll get a finishing image. Post this in your thread for this duel to stop your clock. An example using the untransformed version of the stage is shown below:
For this puzzle, the password would be A9C1E2. Note that the actual images will include more icons, and have fewer squares that look nearly identical.
The fastest time(s) will survive The Ring and, if applicable, select a team to return to. The loser will be eliminated from the game.
