[July 27, 2012] 3rd Ascension League: Danisen Battle #2
Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/3rdascensionleague
Site: http://3rdascension.webs.com/
Event: We start at 6pm and go through a winner stays on format (exactly like casuals) and the rules for the Danisen are explained below and on the 3rd Ascension League website
Rules:
Newcomers start off at 1st Dan.
- Players generally fight against others of either the same rank or one rank above/below you in order to go up a rank.
- One match won = +1 point, one match lost = -1 point. +3 points moves you up one rank, -3 points moves you down one rank.
- The ranks are 1st to 10th Dan. Past 10th Dan are special ranks such as “Kyousha”(“strong man”).
- Players past 10th Dan can only fight against others of the same rank. +5 points moves you up one rank, -3 points moves you down one rank.
- Ranked players can play in other arcades with their rankings as is.
- Players can register with more than one character under their name. (EX: Kuroda Q/ Kuroda Ken/ Kuroda Akuma)
Example: Players register a character e.g. Kuroda enters Ryu, into the league. Starting at the bottom or 1st Dan, players then compete in a winner stays on system earning points. A win earns +1 point and a loss -1 point, when a player reaches +3 points they’re promoted to the next rank and visa versa -3 points a demotion. There are 10 ‘Dans’ or ‘Ranks’, upon reaching 10th Dan there are more special Dans to reach such as ‘Strong’, ‘Man of Valor’, ‘King’ plus a couple more, to reach these you need to earn +5 points for promotion but -3 points still leads to a demotion.
