::*If [[Congo Jungle]] is legal and is chosen, Black DK (Right-C), Dark Samus (Down-C), and Dark Falcon (Right-C) are discouraged for visibility reasons. The opposing player may reset the match without penalty if they wish for a color change. Taking or dealing any damage nullifies this right. | |||

*Pausing and resetting (A+B+Z+R) should not be done unless both players have given consent prior. It is strongly recommended all tournament matches are left to finish, without any resets, even for the sake of saving time. This clearly shows who would have (and did) win a match. If resets do occur and there is a valid dispute, the person who reset forfeits. | *Pausing and resetting (A+B+Z+R) should not be done unless both players have given consent prior.
