I just think this is funny considering how much shit Daigo got for skipping pools in 09 and wanting to wear headphones at Seasons Beatings.
WOW… Ok so I didnt even have to read this thread.
Ok lets see the day of finals, there was a bracket already made. It said I was already fighting Inthul. Then last minute they changed it to me fighting PR ROG? What? Of course I am going to bitch. Why was there a sudden last change of that? And I never said I didn’t want to find WolfKrone.
Then here comes the pools.
In SSF4
Pool 1 - Justin Wong
Pool 2 - PR ROG
Pool 3 - Inthul
Pool 4 - Wolfkrone
In Mvc3
Pool 1 - Noel Brown
Pool 2 - PR ROG
Pool 3 - Floe
Pool 4 - Justin Wong
Who did I fight in mvc3? PR ROG. So why wouldnt I fight Inthul…
Even if the players were reseeded in the top 16 or top 32, who is to make the decision?
Justin Wong?
no
That is the biggest issue here
“I don’t wanna play PR Rog, I’d rather play such and such a player”
I think everyone would still like an answer to this.
Noel Brown raped my sister.
I waited over 5 hours for one game of 3s, and that tournament carried into the next day. It was annoying sure, but there wasn’t much I could do considering the other team’s members were in GF’s of MvC3 and SF4. These things happen, and if you really are angry over waiting for tourney matches, especially when its one of the TO’s, then you clearly haven’t been to many majors before. Considering the large amount of tournaments and events at PU I think time was managed well.
I also find it hilarious that you got DQ’d, I’m going to assume that it was Webster on that one, but since he can’t be here to defend himself I won’t point fingers.
maybe its because i come from a different tournament environment (Limalama, swordplay, Aikido), but i always found the seeding something silly and unnecesary for a good tournament, yeah it sucks that you end facing a local competitor that you usually play, but it takes a lot of the “fairness” since you are giving a special treatment to the top players, yeah some would argue that this helps to sell the tournament to the expectator, because you are saving the “better” fights to the end, sadly this is a trend that its becoming a rule with everything that caters to the expectator, because it seems more benefitial for a show to have the well known names on the top instead a no name, instead keeping the same rules to everyone involved in the tournament despite their name
You don’t have to read the thread. These videos says it all.

I guess you didn’t read my post, but like I said there was a bracket already made, and then they switched it up last minute? Why? There was nothing wrong with the original bracket so why change the match around. It wasn’t like DMG PR ROG was fighting DMG Inthul.
I think seeding is retarded and just another way to rig tourneys. I come from TCGs and our tourneys are WAY bigger than fighting game tourneys and actually supported by the company that makes them.
Ok good shit I guess you don’t want to read my post. Thanks for only reading the first line of my sentence…
If someone pulled something like this in a tournament I was in they would get busted up.
Are you serious? You want unskilled nobodies to have a better chance at making top 8? Tournaments are supposed to determine the most skilled players, and seeding by known skill is the best way to do that in a double elimination format. I know that there are some local killers who end up getting a raw deal because they aren’t known yet, but if they’re good enough, then they’re still going to win and get their names established in the long run.
Seeding = rigging? Do you keep up with any sports?
Get hype for Summer Jam 5!
Opening with “WOW… Ok so I didnt even have to read this thread.” is not the best way to get your point across.
Now I’m curious about there being a bracket already made, though! Creating a top 8 bracket and then shifting people around is obviously weird. You said yourself there was nothing wrong with the original bracket. Who then changed the bracket?
You can get that shit in this community as well, at least if you play Marvel. 
Seriously, this stuff is turning things from competition to “competition entertainment”.
the diference its that the sports have diferent leagues in which every team is located based on their performance, and they have chances on getting up or down based on their performance as well, seeding while based on on staistical data could be a made by good will, its still something subjective and its mostly done for the sake of the show and not for the sake of the players involved on the tournament
Because that scene has never had any problems with people bending/breaking/manipulating rules in their tournaments.
If a player is actually good it shouldn’t matter where they’re placed. Getting special treatment because you’re known is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Placing “top players” as far apart as possible so they never play each other does NOT determine who the most skilled player is.
I said it’s another way to rig tourneys. Learn to read.
And in sports there aren’t ever any new teams. You can’t compare sports to tourneys with constant new entrants.
I clearly said it did earlier. I’m even banned from yugioh because of this bullshit which is why I’m so mad that it’s happening here too.
I’m assuming the people complaining about organizers playing in the tournaments have never spent three days in an oven, screaming into a microphone for zero dollars. I think volunteer is a better description than organizer. I’m sure mistakes were made. It’s hard to demand olympic calibur fairness when the majority of our already small scene limits they’re participation to demanding a free stream. The actual organizer, the guy trying to take the blame for all this, abstained from fun the entire weekend.
If there is some sort of conspiracy going on, it has little to do with Midwesterners trying to get some publicity and having access to top players once or twice a year. Anyone who heard the roof getting blown off for the one local player in top eight would never suggest that the brackets were being stacked for out-of-towners.
