Calgary Tourney December 18th

here’s my challenge for sat:

ray: i want you in mvc2. give me your gief team…and i dunno, i use something with cable. don’t perfect me.

nelson: my 12 vs your oro. haha. we never done that before!

My objective is to ensure the tourney won’t last until 1am, probably finish by 11pm or 11:30 latest.

Troung, I will challenge you in a “NO throw or command throw” match in third strike. Use anybody you want.

Johnson, trust me, you don’t want to give Ray a Sakura in mvc2… his Sakura may suck in cvs2 but not mvc2!!! Give him a captain America with projectile assist instead. :devil:

Anybody wants a “no blocking, parry only” match in third strike??

i’m up for it. no blocking parry only against anyone.

I can sense some random urien’s shoulder tackles into ageis already… time to practice parrying some ageis. Makoto with SA3 (power up with no blocking) is a battle half won in this kind of match.

Troung, here you go.

cool…i’ll see you on sat with this no blocking thing. actually, not just ian…anyone’s welcome to play me in no blocking parry only stipulation…

I don’t htink this no blocking thing is gonna work out, but that’s just me.

you block you lose haha… yeah i get to cross over like mad

We should allow three accidental blocks in the entire match. Intentional blocking means you lose… Ex. when you get up from a knock down, and you block = very intentional.

The Incredibles = Amazing Movie. Everyone must go and watch it.

meh… if u don’t block i think… you’re as good as fucked… parrying or not… unless your name is daigo… fuck that shit…

and sakura SUCKS in mvc2… are u mad? you need a sentinal or a storm to back that team up… i’m gonna have a ryu/sak/dan… that TEAM is no good… there is NO supporting assist

the no blocking thing’ll be weird first…but hey, it’s just as wacky as anything else…it’s not like 3s tourney is thsi sat…i’ll parry ken’s crossovers, no biggie. give it a try…it’s challenging…

ray,

Doesn’t Dan has an assist which he signs an autograph and throw it out? It is supportive in a way, isn’t it? :lame:

I am thinking that with this coming mini cvs2 tourney, we can do either an 8 people tourney, or if there are more than 8 people(which probably will be) then we can do a 2 on 2 tourney, kinda like the Japanese SBO style. In which both memebers of one team play seperately, and must eliminate both members of the opposing team to advance.

In such case, we don’t have to worry about the time factor.

If it is a 8 people tourney, 4 hours (5 at most) should be enough to finish a 2 out of 3, double elimination one.

If it is a 2 on 2 team tourney, then we will make it best of 1 match, eliminate both members and we can even make it double elimination if we want to.

How does that sound?

meh… jwong will win

Can anyone lend my their stick for a couple of days/1 week?

The 1st player side Joystick has been changed to a brand new one for cvs2, so you guys won’t have to worry about it any more. :karate:

We will find out about the prizes for the cvs2 mini tourney on Saturday, the owner said he will take care of that part.

Also, Alpha 3 should be available by this Saturday, they said they will work on it on Friday.

This mini cvs2 tourney(this Saturday nov 13th) will most likely be a 2 on 2 Japanese SBO style(2 teammates use separate team, and eliminate both memebers of the opposite team), and we will have the teams determined on Saturday. It will definitely be exciting! Find yourself a partner, or I can team you up with someone.

The neat thing is that if your team wins cvs2, you win the prize, and you still retain your right to go and win 10 games in a row in a different game and take the $10 entry fee rebate.(one other game only) :tup:

imo… team cvs2 is stupid… we already know that ian/byron/byron are top tier… and anyone paired up w/ either of them are going to basicly rely on the “good” player to win… this isn’t gonna be exciting… it will be predictable… ooohh… in other words… EITHER of those players can carry a whole team to the finals…

god we might as well pair me up with fugly bimbo cove girl and she can be on my marvel team… i could carry that team to the finals easily…

or maybe…

we can pair IAN up w/ the fugly bimbo cove girl… yeah… thats a good plan!! sounds good eh tini?? :tup: :clap:

how do you propose stopping this flaw? truly honestly… it’s best to just use ratio 1/1/2 and someone gets the two ratio 1 charcters and the other person gets the ratio 2… fast quick games…

edit: marvel wants prizes…<cough>

edit2: I want prizes :encore:

I guess you found yourself a partner, Ray. I just hope she can make it on Saturday, so you two can be the ultimate team. Can you imagine how much coaching you will get from that cove girl while you are playing? She will probably remind you how big of a combo you just got hit by over and over again. :clap:

Isn’t any tournament result quite predictable, if we already know whom to be seeded in the first place? Jwong and Sanford in a marvel tourney, isn’t that just a give away?

Anyways, in any team tournament environment, the top players are going to take their team to advance. Even in a single tournament situation(ex. mvc2), what can we do to stop top players from advancing(ex. you)? Either beat them, or screw them over with some stupid things. I am sure we prefer to beat them instead.

If we do the ratio 1/1/2 thing, not much of a difference as in me take random ratio 1’s and pass on to Byron(t.o) the ratio 2 sakura(also remember about the Groove, you need someone with the same groove to partner with)… same as me taking random character in mvc2, and leave you with a sentinel.

So, what we can do is to still try out the new thing, but separate Byron/Byron/Myself/Ray on different teams. Then we team Ray with the cove girl and I team with Tini, and that can be the first round match in the tournament. :wow: J/K You never know, your partner might just kick our team’s ass and carry you to the finals :tup:

I vote single/team tourney… random select.
