Me, shoo, Grog, no idea for team name yet, will get back to you asap.
Ditto.
And that cab is the fucking shit.
Actually, Mishoogrog is a pretty sweet name. :lol:
Elimination style is more exciting because when your teammate loses you immediately get to sit down and take a crack at the person who beat them. It’s just way more fun. Maybe while watching you suss out their rhythm, if they’re hesitating on anti-air, reversal percentage… or maybe they smoke you too.
Waseda style (A1-B1, A2-B2, etc. as Keits outlined) doesn’t even feel like a team tourney. There’s no thread that runs from one match to the next.
Also, with ST in particular elimination style adds a little bit of strategy as far as team composition characters people use/feel confident fighting against, who to run first (per my post above), who to run next if the 1st guy loses etc.
Frankly I can’t wrap my head around the main objections to elimination style (these were bandied about when there was briefly some arguing about Evo 3S format)
- don’t want people getting carried.
I don’t understand this CB could you tell me why this upsets you? In team competitions, not just fighting games but anything, sometimes people get carried. It’s just the way the universe works why are you gnashing your teeth about it? Yeah I mean sometimes one of the guys is a bum … I’ve been that bum in local 3S events got carried through multiple rounds it’s embarassing for them heh but no skin off anyone else’s back. Sometimes OTOH a strong guy just has a bad day. I don’t follow it too closely but I think Spellmaster J sucked it up at SBO a couple years ago now that guy is no bum. Trying to come up with a scheme to penalize people for teaming up with him is just terrible.
- want everyone to get a chance to play
99.9% – literally – of american tournaments use singles. Depending on how much you’re willing to travel you’ve got THOUSANDS of fucking chances to play; why does it have to be like a little league soccer mom crying put jimmy in put jimmy in all of a sudden. Like Fudd says OCVs (and esp. reverse OCVs) have made for some of the most memorable moments in fighting game history.

Shit is fuckin great. Don’t send Chibita and Daigo home as losers.
Ok that’s my case. Short version: the first sentence at the top of this post covers it really. Yeah I’ve thought about it a lot imo Evo and SBO both dropped the ball making 3S/SF4 2on2 tag. That format is ass. Singles or 3on elmination the way to go.
Yah man I’m basically going just to watch SF4. On saturday at least imma be hanging out with you.
OK OK gawwwwwwd noho elimination style 3v3 it is.
Team order will be decided before the match on double blind.
BTW Noho any chance i can talk you into bringing a hard drive with your collection of ST match vids for me to copy over? If you can just let me know how big of a HD i will need to bring.
BTW
Who wants to announce durring my tourney? Gonna have an open mic recording to my capture device.
You need Zazza to do color commentary.

youll be hearing from me in a little bit
one of the blunt bros dropped out of the team; cant get days off work for evo =(
ill find another person though no problem.
I’m looking forward to getting in some casuals on the cab (I’ll try not to mash too hard while playing). Maybe I can catch on as an alternate for a 3v3 squad…
I found a fatboy looking for a team. Anybody left?
50 on Team Beatdown…or Team OG LA, havent decided yet…BET IT!
EDIT:
Truth hurts, those 2 teams are in the final by default. End your in denial reign…ROFL
Yeah I’m also team less, wasn’t sure I was going to evo until a few days ago. You want to team up? We would still have to find another quality player though, this tourney is crazy loaded.
Yeah, I am down! :wgrin:
I’ll PM you.
Off:
Fudd its just plain sick that you have badass as hell Bob Hurley in your av. RIP Rick Zumwalt.
Any of the team members for this tourney wanna play on GGPO? I wanna know what I’m up against…
