The following rules apply to Soul Calibur 2 played at CGA-sponsored tournaments:
Game Version: GCN
Settings:
VS Battle mode (i.e., not VS Extra mode)
Best 3/5 Rounds, best 2/3 Matches
Life Gauge 100%
Round Time 60 seconds
Stage Selection OFF
No system-exclusive characters (Link, Spawn, Heihachi). However, exceptions *may* be made
at the time of the tournament, depending on circumstances. The general rule is, if you are an
experienced player, don't bet on it.
All unlockable characters allowed. All costumes allowed (including Seung-Mina's 3rd costume, if you
seriously think that's your ticket to victory).
Control reconfiguration (making Guard Y instead of B, etc.) is allowed if and only if a full-time monitor is
present. That monitor will be responsible for making sure the controls are set back to default at
the end of every set. If no full-time monitor is present, control reconfiguration is banned and will
lead to unconditional disqualification! We do not want to deal with players contesting fights
because their controls were messed up by a previous player who reconfigured them.
*Some tournaments ban console-only characters (Necrid, Seung-Mina, Sophitia, and Charade because
he mimics console-only characters). CGA does not do this, as we are primarily console-oriented.
Lizardman throw glitch banned.
