The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

'''Revival of Melee 5''' or '''ROM 5''' was an Atlantic North ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' | '''''Revival of Melee 5''''' or '''''ROM 5''''' was an Atlantic North ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' regional and [[Apex 2013]] qualifier held by {{Sm|Alukard}} in Nanuet, New York. The tournament brought together many talented smashers in the Atlantic North such as {{Sm|Mew2King}} and {{Sm|Hax}}, as well as the Canadian champions, {{Sm|KirbyKaze}} and {{Sm|Unknown522}}. Though the attendance was large and the competition was tough, ROM 5 did not feature major players who attended previous Revival of Melee tournaments, most notably {{Sm|Mango}}, {{Sm|Dr. PeePee}}, and {{Sm|Hungrybox}}. | ||

ROM 5 deviated from all other major tournaments of the year in that it used the "standard" version of [[Dave's Stupid Rule]], which states one cannot counterpick ''any'' stage won on, instead of "modified DSR", which states one cannot counterpick the ''last'' stage won on (modified DSR was used at every other major tournament in 2012). Some players at the tournament were not informed of the unusual rule and in the case of Mew2King caused controversy in matches. In the winners' semifinal match featuring M2K and Unknown522, the match sequence went as follows: | ROM 5 deviated from all other major tournaments of the year in that it used the "standard" version of [[Dave's Stupid Rule]], which states one cannot counterpick ''any'' stage won on, instead of "modified DSR", which states one cannot counterpick the ''last'' stage won on (modified DSR was used at every other major tournament in 2012).

As a result of the replay and possibly its outcome, the rest of the tournament (winners' finals, losers' finals, and grand finals) were all [[sandbagging|sandbagged]] by Unknown and {{Sm|KirbyKaze}}, with KirbyKaze being asked to play out his set despite throwing game 1 and M2K being allowed to 3-0 Unknown in both grand final sets to take the tournament. M2K and Unknown also agreed to split their winnings in public before the grand final even began, creating further controversy. | As a result of the replay and possibly its outcome, the rest of the tournament (winners' finals, losers' finals, and grand finals) were all [[sandbagging|sandbagged]] by Unknown and {{Sm|KirbyKaze}}, with KirbyKaze being asked to play out his set despite throwing game 1 and M2K being allowed to 3-0 Unknown in both grand final sets to take the tournament.

In discussions following RoM 5 on [[SmashBoards]], M2K and Unknown both admitted that they were at some fault, with M2K explaining that he did not check the rules but that they were not articulated well enough before the tournament, but that the replay should not have happened as he and Unknown had already decided what would normally have been the outcome, and Unknown admitting that he should have played out his Grand Finals sets. However, when a third party in {{Sm|Cactuar}} claimed that M2K knew full well that Final Destination was illegal, and that he pestered Unknown to be able to choose Final Destination until he finally caved in and accepted, confusion ensued as people were met with two completely different stories of what happened. | In discussions following RoM 5 on [[SmashBoards]], M2K and Unknown both admitted that they were at some fault, with M2K explaining that he did not check the rules but that they were not articulated well enough before the tournament, but that the replay should not have happened as he and Unknown had already decided what would normally have been the outcome, and Unknown admitting that he should have played out his Grand Finals sets.

During the argument that followed, Alukard posted his argument into the thread that it was all M2K's fault and that he just pulled everyone into the controversy himself, and threatened to ban him from [[Revival of Melee 6]]- however, there were then people who argued against ''him'' claiming that he made a mistake himself in the bracket and forced Mew2King to move into a different set during Winner's Semifinals. They claimed that if he did not interfere with the bracket in the first place, none of this would have happened. With a myriad of different arguments presented to users on the forum, the entire argument is still something of a gray area, but the general consensus is that Alukard, M2K, and Unknown all made mistakes in organizing or playing out the tournament, and that the community should take this seriously to make sure these mistakes do not happen again in the future. | ||
