The following player claimed the final Shield Sandbag and is safe from the vote:

The Attack Sandbag winner, selecting the duel from the unbanned stages, was:

The duel will be posted in The Ring just under an hour from now, at 9:40pm board time. I will remind both of the duelists to select a stage to ban, if they have not already done so.

[Yoshi]

Yoshi can rest safe now...

[Falco]

I forgot that if I won this, you'd both be making requests. I'd have just gotten rid of something, but I'm good at everything that remains.

You think you two can agree on a preference you both like in the next hour so I'm not pissing either of you off? Kazuya Captain Falcon

Now that the end of the game is nearing, I'll also take the time to discuss arrangements for Final Destination (what you'd normally call FTC). Since we're a day ahead, the current plan in the schedule is to have Wednesday dedicated to the final duel alone. Final Destination would open on Thursday for 23 hours, before closing at 7 pm Friday. Jury votes would then be due at 7 pm Sunday, after which we'll reveal the winner and do the Cast Reveal.

We also have the option to delay Final Destination until Sunday-Monday and allow two days for the final duel, if it's preferable for all of your schedules. We would have a Tuesday reveal in this case. I'd love to hear what you'd prefer. I'll have more info on the exact Final Destination format on Wednesday after the duel, but don't expect anything too out of the ordinary!

[Wario]

My schedule is pretty free, I'm happy to work around the other players

[Yoshi]

Yoshi is fine for either of those options. Yoshi has no preference.

[Falco]

Your first one sounds better. Use the weekend for the slog of a gauntlet duel.

But what even is time any more? I've lost track over the month. If anyone has a no-can-do on that, I'm fine with whatever.

Magicant. 

Cap, confirm?

[Captain Falcon]

Ain't the final duel a single task, not the gauntlet now?

This'd work for me I suppose!

Still a gauntlet of 3, but theres a ban now when there originally wouldn't be.

[Falco]

Magicant it is boys.

If one of you bans it now, mystery soup in a shell coming your way.

.....what kind of shell?



?!!


Falco!?!?!!!!!

[Falco]

It's an old recipe I learned from an Italian plumber. Very spicy.

[Masahiro Sakurai]

Another thought; how does having the entire weekend for Final Destination sound? If we went for the first option, we could allow you three days to address the jury and have all of the reveals on the same night the votes are in on Sunday?

[Yoshi]

Yoshi would prefer that.
