I’m kind of glad they messed up the pools like that because I’m going somewhere tomorrow and will have to miss out on watching the tourney. Thanks to that terrible pooling I got to watch some incredible matches today.
I agree but only to a certain degree. Being in the losers mean you have to basically win twice as many game to get to the same spot the guy in the winner bracket. Especially for a tournament with a lot of money on the line, it does matter. Kind of in between on the whole ordeal.
Then don’t lose. The only time complaining about brakets is legitiment is when a minority of players travel to an area and then get seeded in the same starting bracket. The field consists of 99% West Coast, of coarse West Coast is going to play each other early because there are so many from West Coast, deal with it.
If the NCAA would of put UNC vs Duke in the 1st round of the tournament you think people across America would just tell one of those school to “not lose?” Hell no, 1st they would never even conceive of that idea and two the community wouldn’t let it happen. Combo and Ed are arguably the two best on the WC and they went up in the 1st round.
(I use NCAA as an example b/c both Devastation and the NCAA men’s hoop are 64 man/team brackets just to put it into easier perspective.)
Except the NCAA is basketball and this is fucking Street Fighter, right?
are you serious man its just a damn video game…if your using sports examples here is one.
its like what DJ Wheat said sometimes it rains when you have a football game all you can do is go out and play. i probably didnt get the whole thing right but you get what im saying, i mean they would have to play each other eventually.
you just don’t know
I think top players should be seeded… atleast 4 top players.
I understand the best will come out on top but if top players are in one bracket and a bunch of scrubs are in another bracket… you will have a top player and a scrub in winners finals and the scrub is guaranteed 3rd cuz luck of the draw. CANT NONE OF YOU FOOLS ARGUE THAT!!
I just think its a little wack for fools to travel to another state and then having to play each other early when it could be avoided… especially if those fools traveled together, now that shit is wack.
Just saying my two cents. Aight, good luck to all the players and go RUN and YJDK.
What time does sf4 start tommorow est?
They said the stream will start at 8:30PST/11:30EST AM
How many stream did they have avaliable?
How do I shot web?
so who is still in top8 sf4?
t6?
Devastation SF4 Winners - Watson vs Justin \ Choi vs Juicebox \ Marn vs FlashMetroid \ Ed Ma vs Filthyrich
from IRC, THX IRC!
That’s a terrible example. And when it rains in baseball they call a rain delay, and the game is potentially played out some other time.
His example is a lot better. I understand both sides of the argument. I hate fixing brackets, and I’m all about randoming everything. But players at the very least should have been seeded. Having Combo and Ed play first round is inexcusable. If Justin and Marn had to go up against each other the 1st round people would have flipped.
But fuck it at the same time (and I’m going to use a football analogy) the ACC/Big 12 is stacked full of good teams every year. But none of the teams bitch and complain that they’re in such a elite conference and have to play each other every single year. They go out and play, and the best team comes out on top at the end (usually).
And one more thing. Fuck all this shit about it being “just a videogame.” If you care enough to post on these forums regarding the situation, then it’s more than “just a videogame.” I don’t go out and call dwight howard a bitch b/c he’s crying on the sideline after “just losing a basketball game.”
People are passionate about what they do regardless of what it is. And coming into the SRK forums telling people it’s “just a game” is a slap in the face to the community. We’re trying to build this community up to where more people (not just fighting gamers, or videogamers in general) will care about this. Saying it’s just some stupid game is detrimental to everything and everyone that’s trying to support us and what we do.
thats what i wanted to hear, thanks.
