Meta Knight is banned. Stalling is banned. (Stalling is defined as any action that deliberately avoids all conflict as to make the game unplayable. Running from an opponent to get to a better position is not considered stalling, but using chain grabs infinitely against a wall beyond 300% or using Sonic’s homing attack repeatedly underneath the stage is). Any action that prevents the game from continuing results in a forfeiture of the match for the offender. Some interactions (for example, interrupting a throw with a wind attack, can cause one character to become frozen until being hit. If this happens, the free character is expected to capitalize on this in a timely manner; a failure to do so is considered stalling).

Only the following stages may be used:
- Battlefield
- Yoshi’s Island
- Smashville
-Group 2
- Lylat Cruise
- Pokémon Stadium (Melee)
Group 3
- Final Destination
- Castle Siege
