im going to do the seeding according to past tourney proformance. i have to be at the top “im not bragging i swear” because i have the best record im counting tourneys won mini tourneys won and placement. official matches will be provided but me or shawn must be there. i have to automatically have the top spot because of my record. i swear im not bragging but thats the way it goes. rayzan would be second due to his tourney win and 2nd placement on the mini and regular tourney. the rest of the top seed order is the following shawn allyn and KK due to tourney proformance. this is as fair as it gets. i swear the other placement in the brackets will be as fair as possible trust me. this tourney is designed so the lower players wont get wiped out the first round. i got this alright peace
Any chance this could be changed to July 18 (Saturday)?
No offense but honestly that tournament idea with the 9 char/ lives deal is only going to hurt those that want to improve there game and be treated seriously in the long run. Sure you got players that love that sort of thing but those are the players that usually will always need a handicap or never aspire to getting to that next pinnacle in there abilities.
That tournament will only give you more bad habits and train of thought. You need to force a tourney standard in my opinion on everyone. If anything the only other suggestion I got that would be a decent compromise would be a random team tournament.
Basically randomly pair up people in groups of two. Each team then picks there characters any way they see fit. But the catch is both players on the team must have a char. This will help the newbies and beginners and give them the feel of not being smashed so easily. We have done this once before at a local player on Oahu’s home (Tempest-Magnet). It had a lot of interesting pairings and forced teamwork. Gave the new players multiple tries at higher level players. It also forced the higher level players to learn clutch situations and 3 char to 2/1 situations.
Seriously you might want to consider the option above. No one would worry about finding a partner its all random. Folks still can pick who ever they want also. its a win-win situation for everyone.
As for seeding my advice on that is DONT SEED" early on in OAHU tournaments that topic came up. We decided there was no fair way to decide who deserved it and who didn’t. So we settled it by just doing the brackets by drawing random numbers. In the end it helped me a lot more because I was more prepared for worst case scenario matches. When going to evo you don’t have the luxury of a easy seed like you would locally. So theres a high chance you might play someone really good in the first round. Using a NO-SEED policy better helps prepare you for real life tournament situations.
Take my advice you guys showed a lot of interest when we where there and when we were leaving. I noticed Allan, Ben and a few others taking interest in a more serious style of play, don’t hurt this by going back to the old methods. Continue on, sure it might be tuff but you need to stick it out.
Side Note: David Sirlin the author of that article is part of the reason I am so determined to win in CVS2. After playing him at B5, it was all I could think about from talking to him etc,etc. A lot of what he writes on that site I agree with 100 percent. Take some time and read the article it should do you wonders if you sink in what he has to say and try to comprehend it.
i get what your saying matt, i wont seed then. i want to experience a real tourney so i’ll follow. um my tourney has to be on a tuesday though, it fits well with everyone except me so i have to request off. use that dead relative excuse again i swear dude you’ll earn your $40.00. me and allyn seem to take this game a little bit more serious now but we need way more work.
If I have to play a tournament with random select, I’m going to practice getting Sak, Bison, and Blanka from random.
Better put, figure you have another year before everybody totally gives up on CVS2. You have a year where there are good players on the next island who’re still willing to play, you have a year where there will be a good national tournament in Las Vegas and other places accessible without a passport. Do you want to squander that year playing characters you don’t really want to play, getting mediocre at all of them, and never scoring a win with any? Or do you want to use that time to improve the characters you want to play, being the best you can be with them, and maybe squeezing out a win or 3 (or 4 or more)?
Sorry I said the 23 thinking the 23 was tuesday its acctually the 21 Tuesday at 10 my bad dont know who im picking for sure yet ideas = Sagat Guile Cammy vega blanka E honda Bison Ryu Iori Duno bout the last 3 tho
Also to the ration question you have to pick your max if you have 3 characters to pick you have to pick them if you have 2 you have to pick too i know its kinda fucked up probably will get really fucked near the end of the tourny but who gives a shit its all in fun if you have 3 it must be 1 1 2 if you have 2 its 2 2 if you have 1…well figure that out on your own theres no rules for the groves pick freely…would be to god damn hard to make a rule for the groves + would piss people off the 9 lives 9 characters thing is just something me and shawn want to try out now if you guys could give me a list or something I need to know who will be at the tourny for SURE going to make the brackets of the for sure people before tourn date then if people show up that were unexpected we will add them on as we go its still a 5 dollar entry fee give to either me or shawn we might have a prize for the 1st place winner besides just the cash but not sure yet…we have shitty jobs but duno
Was thinking about buying a p360 optical but 250$ for a better joy stick seems a bit high…maybe once i start making better cash duno also I have little practice sessions at my house every few days usualy (normally just me k tony tynai) but ill start posting my house session dates up here too if anyone would like to come practice…I think monday night bout midnight(6th) and sometime during tuesday(7th) not sure yet but ill keep you posted on that shit if i remember…if not call me most of you got my cell and if you dont have it you know someone that dose have it
PS: Sorry for no punctuation and poor spelling…I suck. PEACE
