Alright, now that everything is getting seriously underway Id like to make some clarifications just to be sure were all up on track here.
Its going to be vital that everyone is able to use Mame32k .64, as that is the emulator of choice for almost everyone in the US.
The date of the tournament is the 26th. Matches and pooling should begin sometime around 3-4pm EST. This is a single day tourney for everyone that doesnt know. Say something if youre going to be late or anything, Ill schedule you as latte as possible, but if it holds up the next round of matches, you forfeit that match and will get thrown in losers.
I expect everyone to login to EFnet on IRC and join #kof98 and #kof2k2, respectively. For those unknown to IRC, get a client here www.mirc.com, fill out your name, connect to the server, and “/join channel” with the # included.
Matches will be standard best 2/3 until semis which will be out of 5. Record semi and final matches. I’ll also take any that you record before that. There were some major desynch issues last time I played, so well see how that goes.
So, without further ado… wow these two lists have gotten large.
you guys should record matches somehow? (you can do that on kailerra right with the input record thing?) You could start a real community if you did that sort of stuff.
uhh, we did, like… 4 years ago
and yeah, recording matches is a must, especially for semi-finals and up
but whatever, details later…
hopefully Ill be able to contact some of the oldschool people or something, lets get some sorta resurgence in the scene, damnit
Hmm, it’s been a long time since I’ve been in tourney play; Around 3 years, actually. Count me in! Good way to end this semester and get catch up on my KOF playing.
I’ll see if I can get a hold of some of the old and new schoolers. :bgrin: It’d be cool to have another team tourney. Although setting up a team game is rough, much less a tournement. :arazz:
Hey hellsap remember who’s hostin this me okay so let me explain the rules before you do your shit and please put svc on here if you are going to edit one of my tournaments into your threads. Anyway yeah The kof98 tournament i’m hostin along with svc. Kof2k2 i would host but hellsap post it first. Kof98 people or svc people you have intill this friday at 11:00p.m. (pacific Time) to sign up for the tournament if no one else signs up for kof 98 I will then if I must. Just please record theese matches will you. Oh and i’ve decided since the kof 98 tournament Is for mame0.64 you have to record the matches at the semi finals or finals you can record during the first round if you want. Here’s how it goes it’s the best of 2 out of 3 in the regular matches, then the semi finals 3 out of 5, and last but not least the finals finals thoose for kof 98 will be 4 out of 7 yall got that. This tournament will probally start during winter break cause i know some of you have jobs or have to go to school. This tournament though will be on a friday/saturday/sunday don’t know yet which day it will be but I’ll tell you and The tournament will probally be at emucation.com or electric dojo don’t know yet. Also I want this to be a fair tournament so you have to put it on consle mode when you play kof 98 or svc for this tournament. LETS MAKE THIS CLEAR AND FINAL ON THE BOSSES THAT ARE BANNED no extra versions of characters you play them how they were made for that game do not use a orochi chris aginst a omega rugal. Rugal is allowed but NOT OMEGA RUGAL YALL know i’m talkin about rugal when you hold start. the only you hold start extra version characters that are allowed are kyo’s version, ryo’s version, Terry’s version,AOF old school versions can be allowed, and the rest of the ff extra versions can be allowed. IF ANYONE USES OROCHI SHERMIE, OROCHI CHRIS, OR OMEGA RUGAL, then the other guy who used the guys that were allowed can x out and go into the next round. REALLY RECORD THe matches at the finals and semi finals please, HELl even regular matches i want proove of this happining. So you can post it in the tournament forum or rage02fire showcases forum yall got that make sure you know how to record matches with mame while on kaillera before you play in this and make sure you know how to swap to consle mode on theese games before you play this.
umm, no, how about I do this my way, since reading your rules seemed really dumb
concidering you say no orochi characters, you obviously havent played, because rugal is the only console-only character
…and O.chris is weaker than standard chris…
Pretty much my rules were the same… just the servers are to be decided per person, and of course, everyone will be meeting up on an IRC chatroom…
Im sorry to rip this from you, but I think youre not getting the job done with the kof tourney, so I’ve seized it and will do this as a “bring back the oldschoolers” style deal.
Keep on signing up until like… before xmas.
After that/little before that is when its going to get underway
So i’ve been kicked out for the host of the kof tournament your saying now. Ow that’s cold and jacked up man. OKAY OKAY I see when i get kicked out then so enjoy your kof 98 tournament you jacked from me bee-youtch RLMAOL.
Have to go with Hellsap on this one, Rage. The only character who should be banned from both games is Omega Rugal, the other extra select chars are, and always have been, valid. It could be rough to get a lot of the old schoolers back (lost touch with a few of them), but here’s the old schoolers who’s names I can remember at the moment.
A few of those on the list we probably won’t be able to get to play even if we could get a hold of them (Yasa, Zickie, Heidern98).
We have a promising group of new-schoolers too that I’d like to see in the tourney (some of who already posted in this thread).
I need to practice up again, especially in 98. Playing 2k2 for long periods and then going back to 98 plays hell with your timing (2k2’s system is much faster than 98’s. In fact, with the possible exception to KOF:NW, which I haven’t played yet, 2k2 is the fastest KOF system to date).
I have an essay tonight and 2 exams tomorrow, but after that I’ll be free!
FREEDOM!
Hopefully then I’ll be able to get myself back up to a respectable level so I can make a halfway decent showing at the tourney. :karate: If anyone is up for some training, feel free to hit me up on AIM: IVshadows, ICQ: 59454883, or MSN: Ivshadows@hotmail.com
Having run a couple of tournies (including one that someone else set up that I wound up having to host at the last minute when his power went out 5 minutes before the tourney started) I know how much of a pain it can be. If you need any help, let me know.
OKAY then there allowed except for omega rugal now can i get my tourney back and I’ll let you guys sign up till christ mas but this has to be on a weekend got it.
personally, I’m really putting your ability to handle a kof tourney, especially when you dont participate in it. I originally thought that it was a joke, hosting svc and ss4 to get some ‘life’ back into kaillera and snk fans… by picking the 2 of the worst games out there…
then you switched ss4 for kof98, while still leaving it saying “ss4”
So I broke off and started this tourney and while I will probably be needing help, as its breaking to 20’s now (whereas yours barely broke 5). If you get out of hand and start whining and complaining as you are doing now, I will strip you of any moderation rights when we start doing this… whereas Mr. Big’s help is easily welcome.
Please note : Im sorry to say this, but this 98/2k2 tourney is pretty much my tourney now, though because of your original involvement I would like to work together with you on this. But youre going to have to earn and deserve that privelege… so calm down.
Edit : Oh, if you have anything you wanna talk about/suggest, just aim me or something, I’ll listen.
