Well, third time's the charm, right? After getting knocked out a second time because of the 'most active player' rule, I joined another tourney. Advanced to the Quartersemi-Finals, but I lost to a Toon Link. Only if I had thought of using Inhale to Kirbycide or something... XD
I'm happy I finally advanced, though. And yes, I'm in another tourney. Can't help it!
@Grumblevolcano: In Regular Tournaments, if two people have the same score or same amount of stocks, the most active player wins at the end instead of having a sudden death match take place. Though, I am not sure how Nintendo determines who was the most active player. Maybe the one who inflicted the most damage?
Tournament mode is very fun, but I really wish they added local tournaments. Seriously, why is that NOT in the game? The 3 minute replay upload limit sucks, but I don't really care too much, because most of my best matches are 2 minutes or shorter (thanks, Dorf). The new returning stages are fun, although I wish they'd put a bit more effort in the music selection for them... The new Mii Fighter costumes are super fun. The new balance patch is also great.
I'd say this was a very good update! Not perfect, but very enjoyable. However, Reddit thinks it's the worst thing to ever happen in the history of mankind. Lol, Reddit is TRASH.

That's what I thought at first, but this happened; I had entered a 4-player For Glory match (2-stock,time enabled). The remaining two players were Sheik and Zero Suit Samus. It was very obvious the Sheik was going to win, but the player was unable to knock out Zero Suit Samus. Then I see ZSS advancing.
I think the "most active player" rule means something like who moved and attacked the most. The match was unbearably laggy, so the two players were just spamming those long jump attacks of theirs to see whether it would hit the other player...
Sigh... today's really not my day. I was kicked off the tourney I just played due to a timeout (lag extended the match beyond 2 minutes) Apparently my opponent had the worst internet I've ever seen since I started playing Smash Bros. online; actions would not happen until like after 3 seconds! I won, but I could not advance to the Quartersemi-Finals because of a timeout. Ugh.
Maybe I should just go and play some Splatoon... XD
@CapeSmash: I've seen a fair few mention local tournaments but I feel that feature wouldn't get used very much, if at all. Maybe that's why it's not in the game in the first place.
Speaking of the upload feature, I play the 3DS version so I can't try it out. What's the resulting upload looks like? I want to see if it comes with victory screen or just the match.

Smash Tour is probably even less used than the tourney modes in Melee and Braw. But yeah, It would still be a nice option to have, and I really enjoyed the tourney modes in previous games and play them semi-reguraly.
I haven't uploaded any replays myself just yet, but I have seen some uploaded replays. At the beginning of the match it shows the current game version in the top left corner of the screen for a few moments. The quality is generally 720p 30fps, and the replay will automatically make a description for the video (the stage, characters, all that stuff). And yes itt does show the victory screen, but not the results (at least I think).
@CapeSmash: True, Smash Tour can be fun with friends but is otherwise just there, I don't like how some challenges are tied with it. I personally just never used the Tourney features myself. @Grumblevolcano: Thanks. It looks pretty good.

It's probably based on the highest percent. I went in a tourney recently, and in the first match, we were at the same stock, but he was at a higher percent, and I won. In the finals, the opponent was on the same stock as me, but my percent was higher, so they won.
Ok, so why did they buff Luigi? WHY?! He was already top-tier, he didn't need to be buffed. Makes no sense. Do they want Zero to start playing Luigi or something? Is Sakurai a Luigi main?
@Morpheel: Yes, you can use them. The update adds the data to the game so they can appear, but unless you buy the DLC, you don't have access to them. Source: Played against a Lucas online before I bought him.
