Welcome To The NintenDomination Thread!

Building on from the previous NintenDomination Thread created by Conegamer, this thread will continue to carry the legacy of NintenDomination! Basically, the main difference with this new thread is mainly a change in positions, with everything else remaining the same. Conegamer, Leadified, and Ultrashroomz will also help in supporting this thread. If you have any questions, concerns or recommendations about the changes feel free to respond.

This thread is like the nation threads for PlayStation and Xbox, but for Nintendo. This thread is a place where people can talk freely about anything and everything Nintendo-related without the needless "console wars" going around elsewhere. Consider it a safe haven, if you would.

In addition, I'll be posting some news here, and I'll be offering incentives for people to do the same whenever they find any in the thread. Tournaments will be held, usually on the weekends, so stay tuned to see if you would like to participate in them.

On the fence? Here are some things to think about..

+ Nintendo has decided to merge both their home console and handheld into one system so the Switch will not feel game droughts that the Wii U had because the merging of both development teams on one system
+ Taking the best of both worlds, you can play the Switch on the TV or as a handheld
- Buying the console at launch does not come bundled with any games so you need to buy them separately
[...]

NFC for reading Amiibo built in the Left Joy-con
HD Rumble for feeling up to 3 icecubes in a glass

[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Rules]

First things first... ADD YOUR OPPONENT'S NNID BEFORE YOU START.

Next thing to do is for the host to create a room, then the opponent joins that room. The host will select the first stage, though be sure to check the banned stage list. The matches will be 3 stocks, 8 minutes, no items. Upon the conclusion of the match, the loser will decide on the next stage. It sounds simple, because it really is. Other than the Mii Fighters, no characters are banned (so DLC characters are NOT banned) but custom moves ARE banned.

Keep in mind that not everyone has paid DLC stages, so if both players do not have DLC stages, they can NOT be used.

The tournament is "split" into groups (number of groups depends on the amount of players). Each group member plays against each other in a round robin fashion; the top player(s) of each group progress to the single elimination bracket. Keep in mind that all normal matches are best of 3, while Grand Finals will be best of 5.

Matches can be done any time of the day once the tourney officially begins, but be sure to complete your matches in a timely fashion. Failure to do so will lead to an automatic forfeit.

Be sure to post your match results in the thread, so that the bracket can be updated quickly.

That might all be a lot to take in, but rest assured when we the tournament is underway, it'll all make sense. Just focus on your match and let us worry about everything else. For now, we'll stick with 1v1, but in the future, 2v2 matches are not out of the equation.

Good luck! But most importantly, have fun!

[Mario Kart 8 Rules]

Depending on the amount of users that join, one of two things can happen. When there are less than 12 players, we will host a room and you can just join. In the case of many players, you will have to join both of our rooms. We will post for which user to join. For both methods, you will have to add my/Ultrashroomz NNID, but you do not have to add everyone's NNID. Please post and show up 10 minutes before the starting time, so we can begin on schedule. Results are determined by your overall score of every race.

Tournament game rules include: Easy Coms, Normal Items, All Vehicles, No Teams and 150cc/200cc (depending on interest)

If something happens, and  you can't take part, don't just "not show up". Please inform us beforehand so we aren't waiting if at all possible. Repeated missing of the tourneys will mean automatic exclusion from any future tourneys, and your points total to be reset to zero.

Most important thing as usual is to have fun, but do try your best!

[Spratooon Rules]

The August Update finally allows for private lobbies, so you know what that means! Splatoon Tournaments! ...well not really. Tournaments have not worked well so game mode has been reverted! In other words, Splatoon Events will not be Tournaments, but instead will be a group meet up via private lobbies.

Basically, like all other events, all you need to do is to sign up with your NNID, friend the person(s) hosting the event and show up on time! So yes, Show Up On Time and you are good to go! If you are unable to make it, then please let us know in advance!
Under normal circumstances, the hoster will be either be Ultrashroomz, Conegamer and/or Platina.

Depending on the number of participants, there will be either one or two groups. If there are two groups, you will then be designated to one of two groups. BE SURE TO JOIN THE GROUP YOU WERE ASSIGNED TO!

Nothing is banned for Splatoon Events use your best build! You can also switch weapons and gear between battles so feel free to change them when you like. Since this is not a tournament, all modes and stages may be played, depending on the hoster, or what you request to play during the event.

All participants will receive 4 points, rather than 3, so be sure to join. Like always have fun!

[In Thread Rules]

[Pokemon X / Pokemon Y Rules]

Just say in the thread that you want to join, along with your friend code and you'll be added to the list. For this first tourney, we'll be doing a round-robin event. Namely, that means everyone will play everyone else, so it should be a level playing field as opposed to what would eventually be the two best players fighting each other straight away. Then, the top 4 or so people (depending on how many people take part, this number could change) will progress further, and the person who won the most will play the person who won the least (who get through, so 4th) and so on, and then the winners here will play each other for overall victory! Simple, really.

Note however that, if you break one of these rules, you will be immediately removed from the tourney, not allowed to play in future tourneys, and your points total will be reset to zero. So please follow them!
 
ALL Pokemon are Level 50 and you get to have 6 Pokemon in your party. No item duplicates allowed.

[Mario Kart 7 Rules]

To join, notify us in thread and we will add you to the sign up sheet. If you do not see your name there, please respond again, as we may have missed your message. Of course, if you have signed up, please let us know if you cannot make it! Please be online and join approximately 10 minutes before the tourney is set to begin. You don't need to know any friend codes, merely the community which you will be in for the races! Community Codes will be posted on the sign up sheet.

If there are more than 6 entrants, then we will split into 2 groups (Group 1 and Group 2). The top three from these two groups will go forward into the final, where you race the best the site has to offer! If there are 6 or fewer people, then everyone goes straight into the finals!

That's it! Let us know if you have any questions, and have fun!

[Pokken Tournament Rules]

The tournament will either be done in round robin fashion, with the top players advancing into a single elimination bracket, or a single elimination bracket only, depending on the amount of players.

The first player to win best of three games wins, and moves on in the tourney (a single game is best of three rounds.) In grand finals, the first player to win best of five games will be declared the winner. Be sure to post your match results in the thread, so that the bracket can be updated quickly.

To battle your opponent, go to online battle, then go to friendly match, and then set your opponent to "friend." One person will make a VS code and then share it to your opponent in the thread.

Players are allowed to switch their player Pokemon and assist Pokemon between games. No Pokemon or Assists are banned

Matches can be done any time of the day once the tourney officially begins, but be sure to complete your matches in a timely fashion. Failure to do so will lead to an automatic forfeit.

Good luck and have fun!

NEW THREAD HYPE!!!

To kick things off, MK8 tourney!

MK8 SIGNUPS

This Saturday (May 23) @ ~4PM EST.

To sign up, simply provide your NNID.

Rules can be found in both the OP, and here.

"NinteDomination"

Was this intentional?

WOOP WOOP

MK8 RULES

Depending on the amount of users that join, one of two things can happen. When there are less than 12 players, we will host a room and you can just join. In the case of many players, you will have to join both of our rooms. We will post for which user to join.

Most important thing as usual is to have fun, but do try your best!

Once again, please be here about 10-15 minutes before the tourney is due to start. Post here when you're online and ready to go, then at the start time the group leaders (Ultra for Group 1, myself for Group 2) will enter and post. It is imperative that you then enter the tourney promptly thereafter, but not before. Odds are on that we will enter on exactly the hour; but do check before entering (even if it means lots of refreshing!)
There should be 9 people in each group (see below). After the eight races, the best six from each group will move onto the "Finals" tourney. Here, there will be five more races to decide the ultimate VGC champion, so try your best! The whole thing should last approximately an hour.
If you wish to join, please say so ASAP!
