Hey if you need me to, if there’s someone I can talk to, I don’t know much about the School of Dentistry but I am a professor in the system so if I can be a reference for you or something PM me and let me know.
Woot Team Beauty and the Beast is Back!!!
We Are Bringing The Juice
Hey this team is FREE! :wgrin:
And also, how can you call it Team Beauty and the Beast? Without Vega, where is the beauty? :tup:
:nono: How Dare you!!! We are 100% Beauty and 100% Beast
And i think the beauty is located around her thighs…
this is getting fun
Silver Rain I really hope you can pull this off. This can be almost better than EVO if everybody shows up. Also you do realize that both Alex and I are on the same team. No I’m not trying to scare anyone anymore than what they already are but we both record games that I know of. Is there anybody else who will be recording? I think Thelo does too now that I think about it. I definitely will record any games when I am not playing. Just keep me in the loop. My setup is ready and good to go.
Man, all these awesome players in one tournament? I seriously have no idea whose gonna come out on top.
Uhhh… its clearly me and Snake. I mean how can you defeat the Watahhh drill? It’s just not going to happen…
Seriously, I’m looking forward to the little mindgames as the tournament advances. I mean if you had a situation of say Thelo and DJI and Jiggly and Mars… I mean there’s clearly more favorable matchups there than not on each side. I will be there. Let’s just hope everyone shows. If people show, this may be the most hype night of HDR in a long time!
I’m pretty sure our team won’t win but we are gonna make sure that a few teams Taste The Soup before we get eliminated!
TASTE THE SOUP
I can record matches gentlemen.
I can record matches as well, I’m hype about this. My team’s probability of winning is very low but I’mma try my hardest to pull of some major upsets. Been practicing a bit to stay sharp. I hope everyone pulls through and participates. Tryna level up here
I would almost say just have single elimination that way we know it will run smooth and fast. Then maybe try a double elimination on a later date. I’m not saying you cant do it but you running this by yourself can be tough plus you are going to have to make sure everybody chimes in with results, etc. The good thing is we are on xbox live and I just think it will run better. Anyhow is anyone helping you with keeping tally of victories and losses. I’d help but I will be recording.
I really want this tourney to go well basically.
And I also like the idea that once you state your character of choice you cant go and switch it up. We should apply that to the singles version of WWL because it really shows who is good with their character as opposed to switching it up and trying to get a better hand on your next opponent. Just my two cents.
Alex and I have decided on Fatboy Slim as our team name.
For Team Tournaments I’m pretty sure that’s the accepted standard. You pick your character and your stuck. The TEAM has to compensate for weaknesses. Individually, I’m still in favor of switching. Sirlin said something along the lines once of (PARAPHRASING) “If your Honda can beat my Fei, fine, but if my Ryu can then beat your Honda, why shouldn’t I be able to switch?” To me that makes sense. I am personally in favor of said logic.
Now I do agree it will be difficult to tab results quickly. That’s why I’m going to need everyone’s help, being in chat, and quickly handing over results. The sooner I can get those plugged in the sooner I can get matchups figured out. With that said, all teams MUST be finalized by Thursday Midnight PST. And we will use the same Chatzy web chat to put everyone together. Please be in the chat room 30 minutes before the start of the tournament.
To be clear, I’m going to restate the rules.
All games are one match, best 3 of 5 rounds. If both members of Team A win their match the set is over. If the Teams split their matches the winners of the two games will play each other. The winning team will be decided by this match. The declared character MUST be used through the entire tournament. If you have not declared your character by Thursday Midnight PST, your team is DISQUALIFIED IMMEDIATELY. IF you have not confirmed your team with me by Thursday Midnight PST your team is DISQUALIFIED.
The tournament is currently scheduled to be double elimination. The tournament will take some time to finish. I will have a spreadsheet with the initial matchups posted and ready to go. However, it is your job to follow along. If you don’t, then you have to wait for me to announce matchups, in that case, be patient! If you have to wait an additional two minutes it is not going to hurt you.
RECORDERS: If you are recording matches (So far I have Thelo, Alex, SP, Akae) please record your matches until you are eliminated. When your team is eliminated if you could stick around, I will assign you to matches.
ROOM CREATION: PLayer 1 A will invite Team B 1 and B2 into a four (Five if recorder) player room. Then 1A will invite 2A. Then finally the recorder. Team B has to pick which order to accept the invite. If you get trigger happy and go in wrong, that’s your problem. You play the way you enter.
So if 1A wins (Beats 1B for example). 1B goes to the back and 2B steps in. 2B should beat 1A QUICKLY. This is necessary to set up the second matchup between 2B and 2A. If 2A wins the set is over. If 2B wins then he’ll have to beat up on 1B quickly to get to 1A. This last match will determine the set.
It might be a good idea to have an XBL party going on with your partner, if only so that you can communicate with him quickly and coach him up in the middle of the match if you have to. You do NOT need to be in a party with your opponents. After the first round (where A and B will be predetermined), a coin will be flipped to determine which team will be A and B from that point forward. A team CAN NOT be TEAM A for more than 2 consecutive matches. I understand that this system puts Team A at a slight disadvantage, but I think we’re all pretty respectable people here.
Alright, so in closing, if I do not have your team confirmed, do it quickly, if I have a ? next to your character tell me quickly. Good luck everyone!
Does not seem fair for Team1 to invite room
How about this…Example Alex/SweetPoison & Oski/Decoy
Team1 (Alex/SweetPoison) make a 4-player private room
Alex or SweetPoison will choose who will make the invite to Team2(Oski/Decoy)
SweetPoison will then beat Alex quickly & whoever arrives first plays SweetPoison…
What do you think? Does that make sense…
Also Stealthysocks hasn’t confirm if he wanted to be on the same team or if he’s still playing…Anyone need a Gief partner let me know.
Actually that does make sense… So Team A would create a 4 player room. Then whoever made the room would invite their partner. They would then send out the invites to the other team. They would immediately start a match. Inside of their match they won’t see the order of the people who came in. So Team A can pick their order in the match and Team B can pick their order by determining how they enter the room! I LOVE IT! Of course this is predicated on Team A starting their match immediately after both invites were sent out… but I like it! Let’s go with that.
SOMEONE GET THIS MAN A PARTNER STAT!
Sign me up! DeeJay player here looking for a partner. New to WWL, is there an IRC channel or something we all meet at during tourney?
Well I agree that someone from Team (X) should set up a 5 player room (you need to have a recording individual) to TEAM (Y). I guess who ever wants to go first on TEAM (X) sends the invite. Besides that who cares who you have to play. Let’s be honest people are going to counter pick no matter what. Unfortunately that is part of the game especially when you know who your oppoenent is going to use. Granted if I am playing a scrub chun li I wouldnt care but it I am playing zass or hop vo or voltek I would worry.
This is why it is crucial to make sure your team is balanced enough to handle a possible bad matchup you may encounter. If we start complaining and crying now it’s just going to get worse.
Suck it up people. 
I think this misses the point just a little bit. The idea of this tournament is that you might get LUCKY with the counterpick. But both teams should choose their order independently. If one team chooses their order first then the other team is guaranteed the counterpick. So I actually am a big fan of RCaido’s suggestion and that’s the way it will be. If you have a recorder assigned you’ll create a 5 person room, if not then 4. Team A enters, invites Team B, Team B chooses the order they enter in, and Team A chooses who wins their fight in the lobby and BAM you have a matchup between A and B that wasn’t influenced by predetermined order knowledge.
