Somewhere far away from here, a set of ruins stand.
They have only just been discovered recently, after the successful unclogging of an ancient pipe found within the sewers of Pipe Plaza. They are quite unlike the ruins which belong to other civilizations, and have left archaeologists stumped to their origins. The technology which litter the land is foreign but impressive, ancient energy radiating from the gears and knobs. At the center of the ruin is an arena, broad and outstretching, with similar tech devices littering the ground. It's a strange realm, with an air equal parts curious and foreboding. Though researchers are interested in exploring the ruins further, efforts to preserve the space as-is has left this approach without pursuit.
Unbeknownst to these researchers, an untouched area is soon to be a thought of the distant past. For in these ruins, something is beginning to stir… A malevolent force, brewing and reawakening… And its power is reaching out, out, grasping onto distant figures far past the realms of its home… There's no telling what its motives are yet, but there is one certainty: something big is about to happen.
Welcome to the
Mario Boards Mega Brawl!
What is the Mario Boards Mega Brawl?
The Mario Boards Mega Brawl, or MBMB, is a meteoric clash between all sorts of community characters, submitted by you! It is a free-for-all fight where only one character will come out on top!
The event will be a written tale, with small illustrations to accompany. Your hosts/writers, Roserade, Superchao, and Hooded Pitohui, will write out the events of the fight, weaving a narrative up to its finale. The actual results of the fight will be decided through the power of weighted rng - this will be explained in more details later on.
The MBMB will be divided into three steps: the application phase, the voting phase, and the event itself.
The Application Phase
For the MBMB to occur, we need some combatants. That's where you all come in! Any people in this community are welcome to submit up to two combatants. For your entrant, please include the following information:
-Name and pronouns
-Visual representation - does not need to be professional! Just needs to be something to give a sense of appearance
-General description and abilities
-Strengths
-Weaknesses
-Optional: referential material, such as posts or stories, where we would get a sense of your character's traits
Though we are generally lenient in submissions, here are guidelines to keep in mind:
-Your submitted combatant must have relevance to your presence in this community. Whether you've written them into stories, played them in forum games or roleplays, or otherwise utilized them in some way, they should be connected to you. Characters who are made up only for this tournament will not be accepted. That being said, we are not looking for certain "degrees of relationality" for your characters - just as long as they've been around the block, they'll be accepted.
-You may put two or more characters as one team, treating them as one submission. However, careful consideration should be given to their connection as characters. A submission that results in four characters haphazardly tossed together on a team will not be accepted. Keep these questions in mind for yourself if you're considering a multi-character submission: what personal connection do these characters serve, and how will their abilities complement each other? You can think of this like submitting Ice Climbers or Pokemon Trainer in Smash. We recommend keeping your submissions smaller - one or two characters will be just enough.
-You may not submit another user's character as your own. Hopefully this is straightforward. In hedge cases where characters are shared among users, we will lean in favor of permitting the submission.
–You can, in contrast, submit another user's character as part of a multi-character submission, but you MUST have permission from the other user first. We ask that you use the same considerations as earlier when submitting a cross-user team. Permitting another user to use your character will not fill one of your submission slots, but if you care about this kind of thing, if that submission wins, it will count as the other user's character victory. Additionally, each user is limited to one cross-user submission total, for both corresponding parties.
We reserve the right to deny any entry for any reason, including but not limited to if you don't follow the above guidelines. If we deny your entry, we will explain our reasoning to you so that you have a chance to alter your entry to make it acceptable.
There is no minimum and no maximum number of total submissions, so feel free to submit anytime through the deadline!
The Voting Phase
After submissions are wrapped up, we will move into the voting phase. As stated previously, the course of the fight will be determined by rng, but users will be able to vote to add certain weights to different characters' chances at placing highly. More details will be given for this process once we move into the phase. For now, know that you will be voting at some time in the future!
The Event Itself
The MBMB will be posted in chunks throughout its day of release. In each chunk, more of the story will be told, more fighters eliminated, until only one fighter is left standing! We cannot guarantee a date at this point for when it will be released, but we will be aiming for a date in August (that will not conflict with the Awards Ceremony). Users will be encouraged to tune in during the live event and talk about it in the Awards Discord server!
This sounds fun! What now?
Now's the time for you to start submitting! Follow the guidelines up above, and give us some community characters that will throw down in the ring! Submissions will be due in two weeks, on June 3rd at midnight EST. Remember, you can make up to two submissions, so choose your characters wisely!
Thank you for your interest, and enjoy what's to come!
