It's almost time to prepare yourself for the time. You read that right. The tournament won't be starting for a little while but we better prep ourselves. Right now we're looking at about a July 4th start date. Over two months from launch. That should be plenty of time to figure out your characters, figure out the playing style of others, or even if you're waiting to buy it used, it should be plenty of time.

A few things I want to mention:

- Initial seeding will be based off of last year's results. As we scrimmage and get more people, I'll adjust them accordingly.

- We kind of already know who will be in the final 4 but it doesn't mean you not-so-skilled players can't have a fun time with this. It can get competitive/fun if you give it a chance. Battling for the higher seeds is important. It depends on how many players we'll have total, but the top seeds will probably get a few byes in the early rounds.



And once it drops I'll get more into details. But this is just getting the ball rolling. I'll send out mass PMs to see who is interested and what not.

If you would like to be in this, post your gamertag and say you would like to be in this.



SEEDINGS (Tentative):


1. Kalyx - Kalyx triaD 360
2. RoXer - RoXer1
3. Funky Fly - Busted Funk
4. Khunty - KHUNTRY
5. Drakul - Drakulbites
6. Blitz - Luneknight
7. alvarado52 - Pwners Manuel
8. Boomer - jtboomer2
9. thecc - falloftheage
10. Ant - TonyRomoASL
11. Hasney - Hasney
12. Fignuts - Fignuts82

Kalyx, you were talking to someone somewhere about Street Fighter. It might have been in the 100,000 replies thread.

Do you remember who it was and if they have any interest in this?

It could have been the following:

- LuigiD
- Ermaximus
- The Jayman
- The Hazeman
- SmellyMeatballMan


Are any of these ringing any bells?

Been thinking about it and I won't do single elimination. It has to be double to be "fun".

Getting seeded against Kalyx in the first round because you are garbage wouldn't be fun.

Been thinking about making this best of 11 with a 4 character max limit since there are a bunch more characters now. So you you can only pick the same character 3 times.

But best of 9 is probly good enough. I dunno.

Kalyx triaD
04-25-2010, 05:08 PM
No, keep it the same.

RoXer
04-25-2010, 05:12 PM
No it won't be best of 7. Best of 9, can only pick the same character 3 times.

Kalyx triaD

Y2Ant

I just need to learn how to play two more characters and i'm all set :cool:

alvarado52
05-03-2010, 07:22 PM
So, we can only use the same character three times per round? And each round is a best of 9 matches? Why 9? Seems like an odd number.

RoXer
05-03-2010, 07:38 PM
Last year was best of 7, same character twice. So you would have to master at least 4 character, but only have 2 matches with them.

This game has more characters so I wanted more chances to use them and create different matchups. Best of 7 does sound better, but I want an even number of rounds for the character limit.

You guys can vote though if you want.

RoXer
05-03-2010, 07:38 PM
I'm taking Super V out of this since he no longer posts.

alvarado52
05-03-2010, 07:45 PM
so youre telling me in the first round, i have to win 5 matches, and can only use the same character three out of the 5?

RoXer
05-03-2010, 07:50 PM
I adjusted the seedings too.

We could do:

- Best of 7 (Same character twice/4 character max, 2-2-2-1)
- Best of 7 (Same character THRICE/3 character max, 3-3-1)
- Best of 9 (Same character twice/5 character max, 2-2-2-2-1)
- Best of 9 (Same character thrice/3 character max, 3-3-3)

or however the fuck

RoXer
05-03-2010, 07:51 PM
so youre telling me in the first round, i have to win 5 matches, and can only use the same character three out of the 5?

ATM we are settled on best of 5 out of 9, so yes.

whats the 3-3-1 format? Who hosts?

RoXer
05-03-2010, 08:42 PM
No, those numbers are how many times you can choose the same character.

If we keep it as last years, it's best of 7, only pick the same character twice.

#BROKEN Hasney
05-04-2010, 01:55 AM
Best of 9, same character twice.

There's plenty of time before July to get a decent stable together. Although I'm not sure why there's a max limit on characters you can use?

Can't believe that by giving you guys a head start I've slipped that far down the seeds. It best be fucking double-elimination now. :shifty:

RoXer
05-08-2010, 11:28 PM
Best of 9, same character twice.

That's what I'm leaning toward right now.

alvarado52
05-08-2010, 11:31 PM
how the fuck can it be best of 9 with using the same character twice? Thats only 4 wins.

Kalyx triaD
05-08-2010, 11:46 PM
Seven with 2 characters for fuck sake.

RoXer
05-08-2010, 11:56 PM
how the fuck can it be best of 9 with using the same character twice? Thats only 4 wins.

Right, you'll need one more.

RoXer
05-08-2010, 11:58 PM
It will either be best of 7 or best of 9 with both only picking the same character twice. I'm leaning towards 9 because of the extra characters in this game which could lead to different matchups.

Kalyx triaD
05-09-2010, 12:38 AM
The match ups were already nice and varied. Alva only has two characters in his stable as well. He has to learn two more instead of one?

I don't have the game anymore, so most likely would be an understatement.

Nah, bunch of other shit I need to buy, and this is the first time I've been home past 10 am, so it's looking like I won't be on at all again. Would likely end up forfeiting my matches like last year.

So I have to win five matches with at least three characters? Seems longer than it needs to be. Why the extension?

Because Roxer is a huge fanny.

06-05-2010, 03:32 PM
Because there are 10 new characters allowing for more matchups

Drakul and Boomer: Are you two practicing other characters at all?

Yes but if it's a ranked match or team battle, I'm going to pick my best character to win. Endless Battle, I'll practice with other characters because it's not as "competitive".
I was going to pick Rose in the Endless Battle but then everyone left. Played her arcade last night and thought I did pretty well with her.

Have you ever beaten my Zangief with out spamming Akumas jumping Hadoukens?

RoXer

I think Drakul ragequitted on me. I really do.

He's such a nice guy too.

I didn't, you got the win. When the Team Battle finished, I left.

Zangief is so fucking cheap in this game.

Everyone seems to think Zangief is cheap. I'm not sure I understand how he can be called cheap. He has to be right next to you to do anything to you and both his Ultras can be tricky to connect unless you're fighting someone who is really predictable or bad.
His moves can be beaten by most other moves to.

dude can lariat through an ultra
Only projectile ultras and 2 or 3 non-projectile ones. Everyone has a move that stops ultras, though.

alvarado52
06-07-2010, 03:42 AM
dude is super overpowered. Deals massive damage and takes very little in return.

Drakul
06-07-2010, 03:48 AM
I know he deals a ton of damage but that's a decent trade off given how difficult it can be to connect with the more powerful moves.

It would be pretty bad if he had to get right next to his opponent to do anything and, when he did, he didn't do much damage.

Sometimes, most of a fight is just catching the opponent. When I do, I just wreck them.

He's slow, he's a big target, he's vulnerable during most, if not all, of his moves and he has to be right next to you to do anything. His strength is his only real perk.

alvarado52
06-07-2010, 04:04 AM
i'd agree, except for that fucking lariat of his.

Drakul
06-07-2010, 04:05 AM
To get around the lariet, go low and stay low.

alvarado52
06-07-2010, 04:11 AM
you dont get what im saying...he's not mobile, but that lariat allows him to basically get a free walk towards a guy to the point where you can just go grab happy. I mean sure, i could just sit and spam some tigers and uppercut when they jump...
...you know what, i dont even care. I guess i just play this game like a sports game, trying to make shit 'fair' and competitive.

This is probably why i dont spam, and why spamming annoys me, or when Roxer decides to pick Blanka/Bison/Guile and just sit on his ass like a turtle charging attacks.

Drakul
06-07-2010, 04:23 AM
There are a lot of moves that beat the lariet. It's not a free walk if you know what to do with it. Abels wheelkick, Cammys Spiral Arrow/Cannon Spike, the Shorykuen, the Tiger Knee/Uppercut, All of Adons moves, Balrogs charging low punches and his jumping headbutt all stop the lariet. They all knock him back across the screen too.

I try not to spam. I could pull of endless German Suplexes to win but I limit it to 2 in a row, then I do something else. That's pretty much my rule for any move, really.
I don't mind get beaten or even double perfect'd as long as it wasn't through spam.

People that I'm worried about who will have trouble participating:

Hasney - Been seeing him online a lot more lately which is betteer than nothing. He says he'll have the game by the time it starts so I remain hopeful.

Ant - A fucking ghost. With the release of Monkey Island 2 coming up, he should be online more. Hopefully, he hasn't forgotten about this.

thecc - Comes and goes. Dunno how often he plays this. Maybe he'll give an update.

G - 100% postitive he will be ready for the tounament. He would never let me down.

The matches don't play out at the same time like HDR, which isn't bad but you gotta imagine some dick who's last on a card of 4 matches might just leave out of boredom or after getting discouraged after seeing a strong player. You might remedy this by merely having 4plyr tournies but what's the point? Might as well have Endless Battles (SSF3's go-2 mode, imo).

Had some offline sessions with Khuntry today (I'm in Miami, YAY!) and I must say; you guys have no idea the type of bitch Cammy could be sans inherent lag. In fact, my Sakura and Ken seemed to execute with much more efficiency. Khuntry offline is a beast of course. Really miss having a local scene.

Tried some TvC as well. It's appeal to casuals and 'cores was an interesting study. I saw a guy who sucked dick at SSF4 try TvC for the first time and learn quick enough to get the pace. This would not happen with MvC2 and I expect MvC3 to widen the comp pool similarly.

When I head to Supercon tomorrow I'll check out their game room and try to land some matches. If there's anything of a scene (at least at that university) I'll try 'em out first hand.

ROUND 1 BEGINS


RULES:

- Higher seed fights on the RIGHT side of the screen. It gives those who aren't so great a bit of a comfort zone when fighting. Example: #16 is on the left, #1 is on the right. I know the lobby system makes it so the winner of the previous match is on the left by default, so if the lower seed presses "ready" and the higher seed doesn't, the lobby should rearrange you.

If this doesn't work, than it isn't a big deal. We'll use this round to test it out.

- Time Limit: 99, Rounds: 5

- Best of 9 (Nine)

- You can only pick the same character twice.

TIPS:

- Clean up your connection. Do what you can, at least. Stop downloading porn/movies/whatever. Tell your MOM to get off the computer, you're playing in a fighting video game tournament for an internet wrestling message board. As long as Hasney isn't using his tethered iphone for a connection, we should be okay,

- Save replays. Please. After the entire round, obv. Don't play a match and go save and play a match and go save. That's dumb. And label them properly.

- Take a breather between matches. It helps.





These cool cats get first round BYES:

1. Kalyx - Kalyx triaD 360
2. RoXer - RoXer1
3. Funky Fly - Busted Funk
4. Khunty - KHUNTRY


BRACKETS:

5. Drakul - Drakulbites
vs.
12. Juan - juanbhatesyou

No one has played Jaun, I don't think. But I don't think we're missing anything either. Should be an easy W for Drakul (Sorry Jaun :()

6. Blitz - Luneknight
vs.
11. Hasney - Hasney

Should be another easy win. :meh:


7. alvarado52 - Pwners Manuel
vs.
10. Ant - TonyRomoASL

I saw Ant playing Tekken the other day. I'm glad he practiced.


8. Boomer - jtboomer2
vs.
9. thecc - falloftheage

This one should be pretty evenly matched. It's a toss-up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I started it early to let alvarado play his match before he goes on vacation. We'll still use next weekend as the official start date so then play all your matches by...

How do you save replays?

Kalyx triaD
06-26-2010, 02:26 AM
It's most likely gonna come down to me and Khuntry, I'm talking 95% barring some jarring upsets. Not taking a round or even a match - but taking an entire series from me or Khuntry in a tourny structure is a far cry for most of you. In an Endless Battle match, upsets are more likely and the game keeps moving at a 2/3 round setting.

Ken is my worst character and the last big Endless we had he was sweeping most of you. Say Drakul's gdlk 'Gief powers past my Ken, who does he has to match up my Vega? Sakura? Cammy? Most of the series would be going through the motions.

...Whereas Endless Battles provide much more back and forth games where everybody gets to show off what they got in a timely manner. I'm not talking trash, I just want it interesting.

Match 1: Guile vs. Ken

CHOOooOOOOKE. If I had just finished him up in this match I would have taken it and won. I missed so many focus dashes. I believe he went up 2-0 and then gave me 2 pity round wins. So final round, both have low health, HE MISSES HIS SUPER! I lick my lips, smile, and then go for the ultra. Missed input. EX Flash kick, blocked, died. :( I was so angry.

Match 2: Fei Long vs. Ken

Not much to say here. Missed inputs galore. Couldn't do any of his moves.

Match 3: Guile vs. Cammy

I think I swept him if I remember correctly. Was it a pity win? Maybe Kalyx can elaborate more.

Match 4: Bison vs. Sakura

MISSED THROWS. Hopefully Kalyx can atest to this. Instead of tech grabs, bison would miss his throw and Sak would get hers. Every fucking time. It was really making me mad. Got out to 2-0 somehow but in the end, Kalyx knew what he was doing and came back.

Match 5: Akuma vs. Cammy

Time to get serious. I went up 2-1. Low life and ANOTHER missed focus dash. 2-2. Cammy goes for focus, I'm on the other side with the Ultra. HOLLA.

2-3

**CONTROVERSY**

Match 6: Akuma vs. Vega

Couldn't decide between Akuma or Fei Long but went with Akuma. Went up 2-0. First match was almost a perfect. But then DISCONNECT.

Motherfucker.

We play again, and I go up 2-0 AGAIN. But then choke to lose the next 3.

I lose that round 4-3?

I DID win 3/5. But I'll give him the win. It's fine. He came back from 2-0, whos to say he couldn't do it on that d/c game. So we played a match 7 anyway.

Match 7: Fei Long vs. Sakura

2-2. Low health, won with a chip damage ultra.

I lose 4-3?????

Kalyx, its obvious who the final four are going to come down. The fun is for the "other" guys who are in the muddied middle trying to get a shot at us.

The best March Madness games is when Montana State beats Duke and the country roots for them to win the whole thing knowing it won't happen but MIGHT. Hell, Butler almost took it this year.

The point is, Duke still has to show up to win. They'll most likely make it to the semis to play another powerhouse like North Carolina. Those games are fun too though, because both teams display their strengths.

You have to be Duke. You have to show up. People will root against early on because they love the underdog, but if all goes well you'll be in the finals with other powerhouses.

All these things supported by old posts.

Good luck pretending guys you never fought once are hype. I'd let Drak and Blitz be your litmus test before I accept further 'challenges' from you.

I was done with the argument already. Go back to arguing with Kane Knight and Bigdaddycool. They're more your level.

Well you dodged a bullet with me. Last time I played Funky, I massacred him, and he's just below the top participants.

Someone please inform him of my growth.

Putting it on this page tooROUND 1 BEGINS


RULES:

- Higher seed fights on the RIGHT side of the screen. It gives those who aren't so great a bit of a comfort zone when fighting. Example: #16 is on the left, #1 is on the right. I know the lobby system makes it so the winner of the previous match is on the left by default, so if the lower seed presses "ready" and the higher seed doesn't, the lobby should rearrange you.

If this doesn't work, than it isn't a big deal. We'll use this round to test it out.

- Time Limit: 99, Rounds: 5

- Best of 9 (Nine)

- You can only pick the same character twice.

TIPS:

- Clean up your connection. Do what you can, at least. Stop downloading porn/movies/whatever. Tell your MOM to get off the computer, you're playing in a fighting video game tournament for an internet wrestling message board. As long as Hasney isn't using his tethered iphone for a connection, we should be okay,

- Save replays. Please. After the entire round, obv. Don't play a match and go save and play a match and go save. That's dumb. And label them properly.

- Take a breather between matches. It helps.





These cool cats get first round BYES:

1. Kalyx - Kalyx triaD 360
2. RoXer - RoXer1
3. Funky Fly - Busted Funk
4. Khunty - KHUNTRY


BRACKETS:

5. Drakul - Drakulbites
vs.
12. Juan - juanbhatesyou

No one has played Jaun, I don't think. But I don't think we're missing anything either. Should be an easy W for Drakul (Sorry Jaun :()

6. Blitz - Luneknight
vs.
11. Hasney - Hasney

Should be another easy win. :meh:


7. alvarado52 - Pwners Manuel
vs.
10. Ant - TonyRomoASL

I saw Ant playing Tekken the other day. I'm glad he practiced.


8. Boomer - jtboomer2
vs.
9. thecc - falloftheage

This one should be pretty evenly matched. It's a toss-up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I started it early to let alvarado play his match before he goes on vacation. We'll still use next weekend as the official start date so then play all your matches by...

WEDNESDAY, JULY 7TH

I'll see if I can't get the top 3 finishers to get some rep points or something. Some sort of incentive.

Wasn't directed towards you or Kalyx since you both already ducked me last year. You're not considered competition anymore, just hype.

:lol: I was excluded last year. Nice try tho...

Sometime after the tournament I offered him a match on a new XBL account with 30 free gold days were active. He "couldn't add me" for whatever reason and said you would. Neither of yous ever did. :yes:

You're gonna have to make a better story than that to convince anyone that Jean Kalyx turned down a Street Fighter match. The thought doesn't even sound right.

And while I have no memory of this, I'll even give you a freebie and assume if you did send an invite and I didn't respond - it was for reasons totally unrelated to your challenge. Perhaps I asked who you were and you didn't answer, maybe you never sent it, maybe I really couldn't add you (again, I don't remember these events); but don't try to sell that as me "backing out".

Bitch, please.
