Eclipse 2 inspired ruleset:

3 Stocks
8 Minute timer
Bring your own controller
Items set to OFF
Pausing results in a stock loss unless agreed upon by both parties
All characters are legal
Custom moves are banned
Miis are limited to default size, but may use any moveset
The moveset has to be made BEFORE playing the set
Team attack is enabled
Top 8 of bracket is best of 5, the rest is best of 3

Game 1’s stage is decided by stage striking
Both parties pick their characters (Blind picks may be enforced if desired)
The first player to strike is decided by rock-paper-scissors
Player 1 picks one of the five starter stages to NOT start on.
Player 2 then picks two of the remaining four stages.
Finally, player 1 picks the final stage to not play on, leaving one remaining stage that will be played on.

Game 2 and every following game will follow this counter-picking-pattern:
The winner of the previous game bans one stage from the stage-list. This stage may not be counter-picked by the loser.
The loser then chooses what the next stage will be.
The winner then decides what character to use
Finally, the loser picks a character and the game starts.


Dave’s Modified Stupid Rule is in effect:
You cannot pick the last stage you’ve won on during the set
You get 1 stage ban during the counter-picking process
Your ban only lasts one cycle of counter-picking. If you win again, you may pick a new ban, or simply ban the same as before.
In the case of a time-out, the winner is decided first by stock count, then by percentage. If both are tied, read the rule below.
Sudden Death will NEVER be played out. Instead, another game will be played out with 1 stock, 3 minutes and with the same characters and stage.
If sudden death occurs because of a suicide move(Kirby inhale, Bowser side b, etc.), the initiator wins. Do note, however, that if you end the game with a suicide move and sudden death DOESN’T occur, the victor is decided by the victory screen, as per usual.


Stages:

Starter stages:(Singles/Doubles)
Smashville
Battlefield / Miiverse
Lylat Cruise
Town and City
Final Destination / Omega Pokemon Stadium 2 Omega

Counterpick stages:(Singles/Doubles)
Dreamland 64
Duck Hunt

NOTE: Banning Final Destination or Battlefield does also count for Omega Stages and Miiverse.
Similarily, you may not counterpick Miiverse if your last win was on Battlefield. In other words: Dave’s Modified Stupid Rule is in effect for all similar stages.

Have a good time!
