We’d play on the Lockout level, which is centered around a medium-sized square arena with multiple entry points. Everyone would have the energy sword. There would be a predetermined order. The first two people would enter the arena. One sword slash would do you in. The next person in the rotation would then immediately enter and challenge the victor. Everyone else would patiently stand around, outside the arena, waiting their turn. The victor has to be aware of the order, so he knows where his next enemy is coming from. Some of the entry points are high, so sometimes you’d kill someone, and then turn around to look for the next person entering the ring, and you’d get slashed from above, because that person had already jumped in before the other person’s body had hit the floor. Bunches of fun.

The game was basically killed in regular matchmaking because honor rules usually weren’t observed, and thus easily griefed. But it has lived on in customs where peer pressure/group norms keep things in check.
