3.1 Stage Bans and Character Selection

The home player will ban a stage
The away player will ban two stages
The home player will ban a stage
The remaining stage will be used for game 1
Both players must go to the stage select option (located in the bottom right of the arena lobby) and choose the selected stage.
Both Players will choose their characters. Neither player is required to declare their character to their opponent.
Players can choose different characters between their best-of-3 games. They may not, however, stop play during a game to repick their characters.
For game 2 and onward, both starter and counterpick stages may be chosen.
The winner of the previous game will ban 3 stages
The loser will pick from the remaining stages
A player may choose stages they have previously won on
Stage Agreement Clause
Players may agree to play on any legal stage at any point in the set.
Having a “gentleman’s agreement” to play on an illegal stage is prohibited.
4.1 Restrictions
Mii Fighters
Mii Fighters must use their default costumes (though players may select any color for their Mii) and must use a Guest Mii.
Mii Fighters should be named after the combination of special moves chosen, listed in the format “XXXX.” Any combination of moves may be used, but any movesets that any player may want to use during a set must be created before the set begins.
DLC Characters
All DLC Characters are allowed for use in official matches
In the event of a new character being released, that character is prohibited until one week after their initial release date.
Amiibo
The use of Amiibo Characters is prohibited in official matches.
Banned Characters
Characters that are seen as largely banned across collegiate and professional competitions are likely to be banned by Vanta as well. Characters shown on the list below are unable to be used in Vanta-sanctioned competition.
If an opponent uses a banned character, please report to support@vanta.gg so that a forfeit loss will be awarded to the team that used the banned character.
