[Nov 12, 2011] Arcade Legacy RANKING BATTLES Season 5 - MK9, AE, MvC3, VS,... (Cincinnati, OH)

Season 5 of the AL Ranking Battles will start on August 20th.

AL RANKING BATTLES FORMAT: ALL of the ranbat games are played on the same day. Instead of a set amount of money as the prize at the end of the season, you guys will end up making the prize money grow. How this will work is $2 from every admission will go into the pot of the main ranbat game you came to play each week. You can still play in all of the games if you wish, but your prize money can only be put towards one of the four main games. Obviously you will want that to go towards the game you feel you have the best chance of placing TOP 5 (or 3 or 2). The pot will be split 50/25/12/8/5, 70/20/10 and 70/30 for top 5,3, & 2 respectively. It will depend on how much money is in the pot at the end of the season. For example, if Marvel 3 averages 20 people a week (which is reasonable), the pot will be around $200! In this instance, first place will take home about $100. There will also be prizes each week to the top 3 for each game.

I have a bunch of nice PS3 sticks available for anyone to use so if you are a 360 player, don’t let not having a stick stop you from coming.

THESE TWO GAMES WILL HAVE RANBAT STANDINGS BUT NOT THE CASH PRIZES. Each week the winner will get a TASTY DRINK or SUGARY SNACK of their choice plus bragging rights at the end of the season.

Windjammers (Arcade) @ 4pm
Capcom vs SNK 2 (PS2. Arcade may also be available if I can get the Naomi in a candy cab) @ 4pm


I will be needing some gear each ranbat. A post will be made the week of each ranbat requesting what is needed. FREE drink and snack to anyone who supplies a setup that is needed. No TVs will be needed.

The Point System:

There’s a new point breakdown. This will give you a better chance to come back if you have an off week. Here’s the point breakdown:

1st - 9pts
2nd - 8pts
3rd - 7pts
4th - 6pts
5th and 7th - 5pts

17th - 2pts

There will be posts in this thread which will show current point standings.

At the end of the 4 month season the player with the highest number of points amassed from the 5 tournaments is the season champion for that game.

WOO HOO PUZZLE LEAGUE

And Mario Kart 64 side tourney, yes! Unfortunately week 1 conflicts with Kyle’s tourney in Columbus - with Puyo Puyo around I kind of feel like the ranbat takes priority. Tetris Attack though, that one’s gonna hurt.

Good stuff Jesse!

I looked on SRK before picking dates and didn’t see that tournament. Is it something that would keep the other regular Columbus folks from coming Todd?

EDIT: I just looked at my schedule and there’s no other date I can do, so it will have to stand.

MM on the 20th? Oh i’m there.

Holy fuck, the last ranbats is on my 20th B-day.

You still have snk sports over the puzzle game list. But of you can fix this error I will show up to all of the ranbats.

Thanks for noticing that. It has been fixed.

Nah, if anything everyone would be going to this I’m sure, as most of the people at the last one are regular ranbat attendees and Townes/jetm/Emba/big Zack.

I will be there for 3s casuals as usual. And pretty much everything else.

Pooh… lolz.

I’m sending you a PM about this. (No not an angry one, but questions/discussion about Ranbats in general).

Man, if not for X-Fest, I’d be all over the September 10th mystery game tournament.

Jesse you left AH3 on the list and I think that’s a typo? I’m not sure.

Fixed. That was just for the RULES section which I just took off. You all know the rules by now.

So the 3so release is set for Aug 23rd and 24th. Does that mean you will be running it on ps3/360.

I think we should since it will probably end up being the new standard seeing as arcade boards are few and far between. Unless there’s some kind of issue with it that surfaces, which I doubt since they say it is a direct port of the arcade version.

I’m in I’ll also supply and help if needed.

Hey Jesse, bad news but I won’t be able to make it this Saturday. Just got a new job and the training schedule messed up previous plans for visiting up in Cleveland. I had to switch things around; so I’m now visiting Cleveland this weekend.

HOWEVER!

I will be at AL late Thursday evening (like 10:30 . . . I know), and I will simply drop off my PS3 and all other equipment you may need from me at that time. I’ll then come back down either the following Thursday, or sooner, to pick my stuff back up.

Thanks Nathan. That’s a bummer that you can’t make it, but awesome that you got a new job. Good luck with that.

Anyone else who can, please bring setups. There’s never too many setups. Free drink for those who supply.

I will likely be there this weekend, barring anything important coming up, which there might be.
I can bring my stuff along with up to date DLC.
