Dogdude's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder v3.0

Burntnorris (the artist formerly known as Jor-Dan_the_greatest) is the new host. I have not been given permission from Dog himself, but I doubt he'll mind.
The Player list, Ladder, and items has been reset.
Everyone has a fresh start. Again. yay.


It's fairly simple.

In the following example, the number represents your ranking, 1 being the best...

1. Dogdude84
2. JoeSchmoe
3. BillyJean
4. YourMom

You may challenge the player that is directly above you on the ladder, or the player 2 spots above you. If you win, you take their spot, bumping them down a rung.

You may challenge the #1 ranked player once a week. This does not apply to ranks 2 and 3.

YourMom challenged JoeSchmoe and won...

1. Dogdude84
2. YourMom
3. JoeSchmoe
4. BillyJean

Suggestion: PM the player you would like to challenge as well as posting in this thread. People don't always read every post in here, so a PM is a more sure-fire way of grabbing their attention.

K, so I just had a cool idea to make a ladder as a ranking system for those of us that play SSBB. Simply post your Brawl Friend Code in here, and you'll be all signed up. This thread will be ongoing, as you will always want to fight for the top spot to prove that you're the best of the best!!



If it is your FIRST match on the ladder, you may challenge ANY ranked player. You can go big and try to beat the #1 player, or maybe be a little more cautious and challenge a lower rank.

If you WIN your FIRST match, you take that players spot and they move down 1. If you LOSE your first match, you will be placed at the bottom of the ladder (where you must then work your way up).

If you complete a match that didn't involve a challenge to an already ranked player, you and your opponent will be placed at the bottom of the ladder, winner above the loser. This is not a punishment, I just wanted an alternative method for ranking yourself if you didn't feel like challenging someone already ranked.




If you are challenged to a match by the player below you, you MUST accept. If you refuse to play them it's a forfeit. If you do not respond and complete the match within a period of 1 week, it's a loss as well. For this to occur, the challenger must have PM'd the player they wanted to challenge. This is up to my discretion though. If I can see you've been active on FFR but haven't done your challenge, you lose. But if you've been busy and haven't had time to complete a challenge, I might simply freeze you.

If you are inactive for a period of one month (without notice), you will be removed from your ranked position on the ladder. Your name and friend code will turn gray/italics on the player list.

If you have joined the Ladder but haven't played a match in a month (you aren't ranked), you will be taken off the list. You will see red text next to your name in the Player List if you have not completed a match yet. You can always state that you'd like to join again...this is just for maintenance purposes.


If you must leave for vacation or know that you will not be around for an extended period of time (longer than 1 week) to check this thread for challenges, simply PM me and I will "freeze" your position on the ladder. This means that players may simply skip your name and challenge the player above you. You will not move up or down on the ladder when frozen. Your name will be displayed in blue italics.



To make things simple, matches will be as follows...

Stock: 4 lives
Items: None
Character: Your choice
Stage: (See stage list)

However, if you and your opponent can come to an agreement on a different match style, different items, etc, you are free to do that. It must be posted in this thread though.

Matches are to be best 2 out of 3. When challenging the #1 ranked player, matches will be best 3 out of 5.

NO goon/item farming while using Dedede. If caught doing so, that particular game will count as a loss for you. He's still playable though.


You may choose from any of the following stages when playing a match. Again, if you and your opponent wish to play one not on this list, you must post it before you begin your match.

Brawl Stages:------------Melee Stages:

Battlefield----------------Corneria
Final Destination----------Pokemon Stadium
Delfino Plaza
Yoshi's Island
Lylat Cruise
Pokemon Stadium 2
Castle Siege
Smashville
Frigate Orpheon
Halberd




You should be able to agree upon a time slot that you both can be online to complete a match.


You may challenge 5 players a week. If you are challenged, you must accept, and it doesn't count toward your total of 5. The max number of challenges you can accept is 5 as well. (This might very well change)


A disconnect will result in 1 loss. If you do not follow the match setup, you will be DQ'd and move down a spot on the ladder.


The winner must PM me saying they won, or the loser saying they lost. Either one works, if I get 2 PMs, so be it. Please be HONEST. I don't want to deal with any drama.


The Ladder will be updated as often as possible, and at the very least, once a day.


IDK, my BFF Jill?

I have lots of other random ideas floating around in my head.
