I’m down, besides people who complain about tier whoring can take a look at KO lol, that dude can play everybody, lol, I’ve seen him play Dudley, Ken, and SA3 Makoto for crying out loud! WTF? and he got 2nd losing to Nuki! lol
they are all upper/top tier characters you listed…
except maybe SA3 makoto >.>
They’re upper-tier chars, but Dudley isn’t exactly at the top, nor is SA3 Makoto. Ken is really made great by the people who play him, IMO. He doesn’t have half the advantages of SA2 makoto, chun, or genei-yun. Who I HATE playing, btw. Yun is just no fun. I’ve seen KO play Ibuki before, as well as Ryu. He beasted with both. 
i just ment the people he mentioned landed in upper and top tier but still think sa3 knocks makoto down a tier or two =p
ofcourse dudley and makoto in upper and ken in top >.>
The problem with that is…no one here is as good as KO. That’d be like me goin “people who complain about tier whoring can take a look at Justin lol, that dude can win with Morrigan/Gambit/Cyclops.” Good for him. I understand the point you were trying to make but yeah.
3S players have shown interest so that in itself is good I think. I think if this all happens, then it’s all a matter of getting more 3S players at Zach’s.
15-2 so far in favor of ranbats. Great ratio hahah.
Im sorry that you wanna pick a good character…Tier whoring is an excuse! lol!
more 3s = more umbrellastyle
I’m all for this. 
I just voted no stairway cause it was a tight option. I’m in favor of em.
Yknow, it wasn’t until today at GW with massive rotations, that I realized how much of a good idea running these could be. We would be able to have A LOT of these (I refuse to type the word out cause I don’t wanna laugh) before Evo if we were to have them at Zach’s. So far it seems as if the interest only lies in having these for Marvel and Third Strike. Since so many people want them, when should we get these started? I think we should wait until the get2gether after tomorrow night’s event (which I would imagine would take place March 2nd). At least that way we can iron out all the details in between time. But speaking of which, what should be the stipulations??
My personal opinions…
-5 dollar entry fee, prizes being given out like 70/20/10 or something like that.
-I know the 3S guys wouldn’t mind being stuck with one character the whole tourney, but I’m not too sure how well the idea of sticking with one team would be for the Marvel crew. But then again a lot of us only use one team =/.
-I’m really ignorant about the point system. Like how much they give out for each place and all that. Maybe someone knows??
Everyone post up your thoughts! The sooner we get setup, the more practice we can get, meaning the more likely we’ll beastorize people at Evo.
can we also do Super Turbo? id be happy joining Marvel ranbats as well, just so i can at least start fresh with my squad.
It seems to me that counter picking is a big part of MvC2 so I think it would be dumb to restrict people to one team per tournament.
As for 3rd Strike, I don’t think it matters too much. I don’t know about Seattle, but all the top PDX players usually stick to one character anyway.
I was thinking about suggesting this, but I figured there wasn’t enough ST interest.
I really hope there is though.
its an EVO game, we have 6 months will EVO World to whip ourselves into shape
Counter characters is a HUGE deal in 3s. Ken is one of the best characters, but he’s got a weak match up ratio to Chun-Li (I’ve been told that it’s around 30/70 and Ken has to win round 1 because he’s very limited once Chun-Li has meter). Chun-Li owns a majority of the field, but gets slaughtered by aerial characters (Yun, Akuma, etc.). At the higher levels of 3s play, it’s easy to exploit match-ups. This is why Japanese tournaments force you to stick with one character for the length of the tournament. They want people to pick their overall best characters (or commit to a mete-game choice as was the case with the Japs showing Yun love at EVO) and tough it out, as opposed to just seeing both players alternating between 3 characters after every loss.
The reason you see special and theme tournaments alternating with regular format in Japanese ranbats is because most of the players there are familiar enough with all characters to play them competitively. This degree of aptitude no doubt comes from having to meta-game in their uber-competitive arcades just to keep from losing money. The special format ranbats are some of the most fun to watch, as you get to see just how deep some of the lesser known characters are in 3s.
However, now that I’ve thought about it, it really wouldn’t work for Marvel (as I suggested previously in this thread).
I’d like to play ST, but not for money. That game is too short, and a touch random unless your name is Daigo or Cole. Ironically, those are the very reason that I prefer that game as opposed to XvSF in Zach’s second cab. It’s crazy random fun, and the games are short so it’s easier to get a couple in while waiting in line for MvC2.
Didn’t I come up with this idea like a year and a half ago and no one payed attention? Yay SRK love. =[
That’s because I rock the party that rocks the body. SRK love? You have more rep than I do.
Well, having banks of machines (any arcade has 3 copies of ANY good game) means that there’s barely ever any wait. Every arcade would have sixty people PER FLOOR and yet there would be at most a five minute wait to play any game. That was awesome. I’ll even play the stupid games (SvC) if I don’t have to sit around waiting infinitely.
But Japan also uses cheap cabinets. We’re spoiled here with Dynamo / 39" cabinets. Everything there is sit-down easy swap cabinets with Championship sticks.
I don’t think adding ST will be an issue, I think it’s just gettin people to play that game that’ll be the problem. But me myself I wouldn’t mind entering an ST ranking battle. Hah! Thought I was gonna type that shit out huh? I’m too sick.
Wow for an astounding 19 votes where’s the feedback?!?!?! =[
Also I did a bit of homework on other ranking battles around the country to see what their point system was and I found that most places go by this system…
1st Place - 10 Points
2nd Place - 7 Points
3rd Place - 5 Points
4th Place - 3 Points
5th Place(s) - 1 point
From what I’ve read people basically pay money everytime they enter a ranking battle for however long they have them (I read 4 months?) and then the money given is out to the top placers 70/20/10 at the very end.
Post opinions!
Post whatever!
