Welcome to the Super Smash LeagueI've been doing some form of us all the back to the Melee days. Of course, managing 25 fighters was a bit easier than today's roster. In fact, I haven't gotten any of the DLC fighter packs, so we're working with 72 fighters.
Here's the deal. The fighters have been split up into eight conferences. I could have balanced each one and evened out each one, but instead I grouped them game group and my own aesthetic instincts. Shulk seems to fit in well with the Fire Emblem characters, so he went there. Captain Falcon fit in with Star Fox and Metroid, and those two games feel compatible with their space themes, so they make up a conference, and so on. I used to do midseason tournaments, too, and a team tournament. Those may happen, but I think I am going to avoid them in this first season, anyway. Otherwise, there will be 12 "weeks" of fights, and then the top two finishers from each conference will go into the championship tournament at the end. Pretty simple, right? So let's get fighting! |
