Akatsuki Denkou Senki: NETPLAY TOURNEY
Blitz Heil!!! :annoy:
On October 5th, #Akatsuki/Mizuumi will be hosting an epic online tournament event and we are requesting that all Blitzkampf Soldiers report to the front lines to partake in this historic netplay battle. The event may span many weeks so be sure to prepare extra food rations and regularly fill your water canteens.
Soldiers will be sortied according to battalion (really your region/state :bgrin:). It would be highly appreciated if participants are running DSL or higher in this event as many of us aren’t fans of our guns getting jammed in the brink of war (really just laggy as hell :bgrin:. Am i trying too hard with the military references?). There is no enlistment fee and thus the soldiers that earn their promotions will not receive any compensation for their efforts. Instead they will attain honor, victory (or defeat lol), pride, and extensive combat knowledge to utilize in future battles. The top 3 highest ranked soldiers will receive a 21-water-pistol salute and “badges of honor” (basically your names get placed in the thread 
).
Macros and mapping will be permitted on the battlefield. We can only hope that participants will respect the “Honor System” and refrain from using “advanced weaponry” (i.e. programmable pads/sticks and turbo features :tdown:).
Victory will be given to the first contender to receive 2 match points (2/3 matches). All finals (losers, winners and grand) will be 3/5 matches (first to receive 3 points). In the event of a draw, neither player will receive a match point and both players will replay the match using the same characters.
It is very important that all soldiers create log entries (turn on your mo’ fo’ replay feature plz!!!). We intend to broadcast the war in its entirety via YouTube (xubersoldatx account).
Enlistment is starting NOW! To sign up just post up saying that you want to enlist in the Akatsuki Army or whatever and give the handle you wish to have displayed on the rankings and battle records (match vids). There may be a thread floating around somewhere in the Tournament Events Forum with a complete list of the participants. If not, then I’ll just update the thread. :razz:
**Civilian Synopsis:
Akatsuki Tournament
Date: October 5th ~ whenever it gets finished (we’re trying for at most 2mths)
Signups: Are starting NOW. Just post up info like handle, connection, dates and time available, and state/city.
Entry: 0$
Prize: Honor, a learning experience and oh, 0$. :shake:
Matches: 2/3, 3/5 for losers, winners and grand finals, double elimination. Keep the character you win with in any instance. The loser is free to change their character choice. In the event of a draw, replay the match. Blind pick upon request (you and your opponent can just pm the character choice to a 3rd party). *Info on desynching issues will be added later.
-Mapping/macros are allowed. Try to refrain from cheating ppl! (no turbo/program stuff plz)
-Players will be paired up according to region.
-“Good” connections are encouraged (dsl or higher). If you know your connection is shit, please save us and yourself the trouble and frustration by just sitting it out. If you can get access to an acceptable connection post up the date and time when you’ll be available to play your matches.
-Most importantly…SAVE YOUR MATCHES. By simply going to the options mode you can turn on the auto save replay feature. It will record ALL matches w/o you having to think about it at the end of every match. **
We’re looking forward to seeing veterans and new recruits alike for the upcoming event. If you have any questions/comments you’re encouraged to post up. For some drill practice (no homo) and strategy exchange join us at #Akatsuki @ irc.mizuumi.net.

I rotate through random chars once in a while, (usually ones I feel like experimenting with at the moment) but the only one I’m really comfortable with/will use seriously is Kanae.
SILLY ZENOSIP SHOULD KNOW ME BETTER BY NAO. KANAE ONREE ;D
Fuck… i really want to live in the US now ._. my lag sucks.
Zar: Wouldnt it be better to just do ranking battles instead of its going to take that long? Just a suggestion. I mean, It couldnt hurt really.

3 new vids @ Ko-hatsu (“Event” tab, then scroll down).
Although they are released there every week, this up (or maybe some previous ones we missed too, i don’t know) apparently uses a newer version of Blitz. At least Adler has a new walking animation and winpose. Matches:
Marylin v Kanae
Adler v Kanae
Sai v Kanae
i think the idea is to gauge how many players will show up for a big online event where everyone has plenty of advance notice to plan to be able to participate. that way you can establish a preliminary player roster and then schedule regular ranking battles around everyone’s initial timeframe and have those lead up to followup events down the line.
at least that’s my assumption. >_>
ALSO WHERE’S MY MONSTER PATCH BITCH ;o
i might join…i’d def. join if we use the previous version. Don’t like the nun rape
