Yo, I think that I am going to have to bring my top 3S game. Hope you niggaz been practicing lol. Actually I’ve been playing pretty shitty lately, but hey I am too old to play. :lol:
You know I’m gonna bring my A game fo sho. I’ve been doing pretty well lately (even on Xbox Live…placed second in Jinmaster’s tourney at Springfield) so I’m feeling optimistic coming up towards next week. As long as I can get a ride to this thing it’ll be all good. Today I’m getting a couple Xbox Live peepz over my house to practice with and to hone my skills come tournament time. As long as I don’t get 16th place again…:razz:
Khang, can you hook me up with a ride? Thanks. It would be greatly appreciated.
Em yeu anh. <33
…no homo.

Robin, what’s with the fucked up payout system? I understand it’s more fair, but that’s to the people that aren’t as skilled as the people who get top 3. It’s not our fault that they’re not as skillful as some other players are.
Once you’re done with that, I’ve got a nice warm protein shake all nicely stirred up, and it’s got your name on it. Directions for usage: slather all over face.
Dude, I don’t think he was talking about vaginal lips. Your vagina has enough roast beef to feed a wedding, congratulations, but as for semen, I fear all you have is the pounds and pounds of it I gave you last night.
Screw bringing the A game, I’m gonna bring my H game. That’s right, it’s official, Hugo’s gonna make his first ever ultrnament appearance. Guess who can do standing 720s now? Guess. Hint: me.
I could standing 720 back when you thought LSAT was an STD, step ya game up son!
Haha, burn! And duly noted.
Actually, IMO, the basic “winner take all” approach is pretty fucked up. Which esentially is what some of the 80/20 and 70/20/10 payouts i’ve been seeing are.
Take poker payouts, for example. Poker in the WSOP pays down to hundreds of places. 50 person tournaments on Party Poker pay down 7 places. Would anyone play if they said “all right, only top 3 get paid”? No.
As far as less talent is concerned, I figure the larger tournament there is, the better you have to be to get 4th or 5th place. Take evolution. Justin Wong got 4th place. Now you can either say he’s “less talented”, or that he had a bad run that day. Either way, with a tourney of about 150 or so people, over 1500$ in the prize pool… and 4th place goes home with an “atta boy!!”… Something’s not right there.
So, I’m changing the payout structure a little bit. Pretty much, the first placing gets you your money back. every place higher pays you about double. 1st place still is guarunteed half or over half the pot.
Considering I expect most tourneys to be in the 20-50 range, The only real change is 4th place getting some money.
Should Justin have gotten “some” sort of prize for 4th place at evo? I think so, and this is my solution. I hope it will recieve a positive response.
Hey I was going to go against your pay structure Robin, but I think that we should try it to see how it goes. Although, I’d like to add that back in the day when we didn’t make top 3…we had to go home and work on some new shit to bring to the table to make that money and that’s just the way it was. We could complain all that we wanted, but it wouldn’t do shit but probably label us a bitch in the eyes of the community.
IMO Justin shouldn’t get anything for placing 4th at evo. The rules never changed although I have heard some shiesty things that I won’t add here about evolution. Shit He’s on every DVD, he’s the man to beat in 3S…I wan’t to be in his shoes even though I’d probably split them cause I wear a 10 1/2.
Shit I made top 32 in 3S out of 340 people. I almost beat RF (GGXX Japanese champ) and KOFiend, so you would think that I could get on the DVD, but hey its “better luck next time :sad:”
Wow just noticed this.
Damn nigga, I don’t plan on getting top 5 but I’ll try my hardest 
So from what you are saying, *Eric looks dumbfounded?..I can make 10 - 20 dollars just from removing yo ass from tourney play…*Eric gets all giggidy giggidy :lol:
Also, tourney pools huh Robin? Sounds fun :tup:
I understand your points. It’s hard to bring about change in any part of tourneys in this community. I want to thank you for being willing to try, though.
My logic is that it’s probably much more difficult to get 4th in a 49 person tourney than 3rd in a 12 person tourney. Yet before, only 3rd place got a prize.
This way, more prizes are handed out, maybe that makes people more likely to attend future tournements. We never really lose 1st or 2nd place players, but it’s the 4th-9th place players that leave the scene every day. I expect 1st place players to grumble, but if this payout gives more incentive for more people to play b/c it has a better shot at money, 1st place gets more money overall since 50% of all money goes to them.
Lot of reasoning in there, but I want to thank everyone for the willingness to try it out.
It was poker that made me think about fighting game tourney payouts mostly. I was like “man, Joe Hachem won the worlds biggest poker tourney… and he didn’t even get 20%” He got like 7 million out of fifty some million in total prizes.
I think it’s great that you’ve extended the money placings, man. That’s one thing I’ve always hated about tournaments, that only the top two or three get rewarded. Even when I win, I think it’s stupid. I mean, who cares about the best players? It should be about the community, not about the people who currently sit at its peak. If you want to get more people involved, one of the ways to do it is to make the financial rewards in tournaments more spread out and available. Screw this whole elitist crap where only the top two or three players get money.
didn’t justin get SECOND?
I could swear they’re talking about Marvel. :wgrin:
IMO under 10 people should be atleast 75-25 if not 80-20. Your basically barely getting more than half the money for winning. Poker payouts are that way for a completely different reason than video games, but hey, I’m just coming for the poker. Here’s what i can tell for cvs2 so far: me,shinshay,pat,robin,moose,rugal. Who else is playing?
I’ll play cvs. Time to see how P-Groove Maki/Zangief/R2 Dhalsim stacks up.
I play CvS2 but I wont be able to make it, I got work til 430. None of yall gonna feel the Wrath of the Magnificent Trio: Sakura, King, and Hibiki. :qcf: :hcb: :mk: “C’mon baby!”
cvs2 wont start till after 3s so youll have plenty of time to get to the tourney for some cvs2.
wtf does PVFP know about some KJo?
I already GOT that cake!
gs gs
Fuckin poker, watchoo know about some triple draw lowball?
