mustain, hey kindly update the bracket showing that I’m advancing to the next fight! You know what’s up! rgb, should get back into HDR, he was a little rusty from what I can tell or is it maybe i’m much better since I last played, hmmmm. Either way, he was pretty cool and we played a lot of extra matches afterwards. I almost beat his Ken with my noobish Sim and Dee Jay. I like to play him again, he started to pick up his game 10-12 matches later.
Playing all these great folks at SRK had me ready for him.
I never did get ahold of him. I think I tried sending to “ImperialX” at first… I guess because I remembered seeing that spelling in the previous thread, hahah.
I never heard from him either so I dunno. If anyone talks to him and he still wants to play, I would love to do our match, or we could coin toss it now that the time limit is up.
Alright! Good job Ego! Your next opponent is TiamatVarga. Mean Gief but you got Honda so you have a clear advantage.
deadfrog, I’ve updated the bracket showing you advance by default cuz I haven’t heard from Imperial_X either. Check the bracket for your next opponent.
Yo Ego, I got a weird email from rgb yesterday. Well actually, I got 2 of them. The first one asking me how strong TiamatVarga was, suggesting that rgb thought he was going to be playing him next. His second email was to tell me that he didn’t understand why the bracket was showing he lost to you. It turns out he thought all you had to do was win one match (he won the first match against you, correct?) when I clearly explained that you had to win 2 matches to advance (FT2).
I sent him a response reminding him of the rules but I also said that since this tournament is supposed to be casual, I will leave it up to you. That is if you haven’t played TiamatVarga yet. He’ll have another chance for revenge, so don’t worry if you can’t accomodate him. This is the reason why when I play tournaments, I never play more matches than I’m supposed to because it allows misunderstandings to creep in. Lemme know what you decide. You have every right to refuse.
Half-Ro Sorry I missed your invite but I didn’t get on until after 9. I’ll try and be around earlier tonight. add me to your friends list so I can see when your online and visa versa
I agree about the excess matches, I wanted to quit after i won, but everyone I played so far kept RageStarting for more matches. Perhaps you need to add that to the rule as well. Not that I was complaining since I accommodated the extra matches but like you pointed out it could cause some confusion.
Hmmm, if you’ve already explained the rules prior then I don’t know what else to say. Does he read SRK? If so, the rules are well published at the beginning of this thread. If not, I just assumed that you’ve communicated that to him prior to tournament. My thought playing anybody in this tournament that you are well aware of rules prior to playing matches. If you have a losers bracket in place that might offer some chance at redemption.
My bad, I just assumed he knew the rules already seeing how he’d already advanced a spot on the bracket to face me.
Like I said in my private message, I had my wife double check what I wrote and she confirmed that there should have been no confusion as to the rules. It does look like he made assumptions and confused himself. As for his victory over Psycho_six, guess what; he played more than 2 or 3 matches with him as well.
My last email to him should do. I think it’s best for you to just go ahead and play Tiamat. I gotta warn you though, rgb’s probably gonna be looking for revenge next time he faces you. Watch out! LOL
He used to post here before SF4 came out. If he does, it’ll be in the SF4 threads. He’s on my friends’ list so I’ll try getting in touch with him today. Keep in mind that he had a baby 2 weeks ago so he’s probably busy doing “fatherly things” (his own words).
No we keep missing each other. I’ll be on again tonight from 7-7:30pm ish. I think he crashes early since I didn’t see him online last night or the night before.
Shoo, as far as I know, your opponent ssbigdaddy76 doesn’t post on SRK. I’d send him a friend request or message on PSN with the subject line “HDR Tournament”. He’s online almost every day, so you should be able to play him tonight.
I go to sleep usually around 9-9:30 mountain time (aka the time you are seemingly getting on lol) cause I have work early in the morning. Im good tonight to be up though if you want to play.
UPDATE: So far, we have 4 people who have advanced to the quarter finals. We still don’t know who the other 4 are because so many matches haven’t been played yet, so this is what I’ve decided to do:
I’m adding an extra day. I need to have all 8 quarter-finalists ready to play by 6PM EST, Saturday, May 23rd. If you haven’t played by then, you and your opponent forfeit the match unless I get a message telling me that you tried to get a hold of your opponent but couldn’t, in which case you win by default. I will put together another tournament soon, and I’ve learned my lesson through this one. Only those who took this tournament seriously will be allowed to participate in the next one. Sorry if you’re busy, we all are, but if you can’t make time (you had an entire week!) then no need to register only to forfeit your match.
Here are the matches I need to see happening ASAP:
T_Tang vs Serious-Sam
Rien896 vs Dead_frog
Porksword79 vs True_old_school
VOLTECH vs Halfrohalfamazin
shooSRK vs ssbigdaddy76
Dmac0424 vs djmassif
Please guys, make an effort to complete your matches so we can move on.
If you have any problems, let me know through SRK within the next 8 hours (I’m at work) or through PSN after that.
