Want to prove u r the strongest man in the world? Now its the time for it, the rules for it r simple:
Select ur character (character lock) n play against the whole cast (16 chars minimum) FT10 against each of them.
Each match won=1 point Each match lost= -1 point
Player with the most Overall points at the end of the month is the Best player of GGPO
The minimum of participants must be 16, so each character must be represented in the tournament
Now, here the fun part, the oponents not necesarilly must be participants of the tournament, lets say a player who is not skilled chose Cammy, but there is a very good Cammy who didnt join the tournament, he can be the contender for (hopefully) all the participants, in case a player has idk high ping to certain player, a substitute contender will be used n no problem
Time to finish all the matches is the whole month of October, n in case the spot 1 is tied, well, yes, a Grand Final!
Its totally fine if participants pick duplicates (2, 3 or more players picking Ryu) as long as the 16 characters r represented its all right.
If this all happened last night, I’m sure I would have took it all. Sadly, I don’t think I can ever play at that level ever again. I don’t know what it was, just something in the air maybe.
I can not enter due to high latency in relation to players from the West Coast of the US and Central America. This will detract from the value and overall manliness of the activity.
Im sure u can find 16 contenders around ur area who can fill those 16 FT10s, as I mentioned, I can probably make it for regions ( North America, South America n Europe) as long as each participant finishes his 16 FT10s against good contenders the results should be similar.
Some have asked that I participated in such a thing around here. However, most those players have refused to participate in a national ST event, without providing acceptable justifications. While I dislike the version which was used (PS3 HDR Classic, a version with input lag), that was what was possible and we needed players to get the higher prize (console + stick, rather than just a stick). Thus, I and the other players who did the effort and traveled and entered the event are not willing to endorse this online rank of them. If they leave their houses the next time, if there is a next time, we will worry about online ranks.
This is a particular issue, and of course I was just joking. But odds are we will not participate in online ranks. My execution has been shit, also.
Sure, I’m game. But due to my location and mediocre internet speed, I am most likely only going to be able to play against my neighbors from south of the boarder.
I’ll just nominate the contenders (character specialists that competitors should face) that you can easily find on ggpo
there are some other good players but they are not there most of the time
looking at this list, it’s definitely not a easy task to run through all the 16 characters with 16 wins
If you check the HDR league in the HDR forum, they seem to have a hard time to keep everyone playing for a period of the time.
Just to keep in mind this might be very difficult to pull off.
I think the idea behind this is that to claim that you’re really good, you should be good with ALL the match up.
Not just switching to another cough 5th best cough character whenever you run into a bad match.
But I agree that requiring ALL 16 characters represented in the participants will be difficult.
OTOH, if the testers (the one that you have to face) are a separate group (can overlap) of players, then this should still work.
For example, there could be only 5 ryus who entered this. Whoever has the best record of running through
Character lock I’m perfectly fine with. But keeping out Stevetren or s4v’s ryu because Omen is in just doesn’t seem right. Same if I choose gief and the other top giefs can’t play.
Character lock Yes forcing all 16 characters to be represented just doesn’t seem right.
