Saw several winners change ultra, including players such as infiltration. And he ended up winning the game with the new ultra

349

so who made top 8 ?anyone

350

There’s a mistake in your brackets.

Laugh beat Latif in winner’s bracket of their pool.
Then Latif qualified in top 8 losers without fighting Laugh again.
Laugh’s last match was vs Wolfkrone to get into top 8 losers. Wolfkrone won.

So if Laugh, Latif and Wolfkrone are in the same pool, how can Latif and Wolfkrone both qualify for top 8 loser’s bracket?

Laugh made it further in winner’s bracket of their pool than the 2 vipers, so I think it should have been Latif vs Wolfkrone then winner fights Laugh

2dfree? :stuck_out_tongue:

Does anyone know at what time (EST) does the AE finals start?

354

I gotta say, the MK play I saw yesterday was pretty awful, it’s like they got a bunch of online players together who just spammed teleports. props to online tony though

355

Type Wild setup at the Hitbox station was so hype, we need that shit at EVO.

356

there was no pool. just one big bracket. I don’t think there was anything wrong with the bracket. if doesn’t make sense to fight the same guy two times in 3 matches.

Great tournament.

357

Pretty much the worst tournament I have been to. Power going out is a venue issue but this should have been tested beforehand. 4 hours to get one game of MVC3 singles was pretty atrocious, even if tourneys always “start late”. Guy with the megaphone being a dick to everyone? Yeah we really needed that, protip: if you want to have a tournament and want people to return to your events even if they are run like crap, being a bit professional could help. 60 dollars on site to register means this tournament shoudld have been ran a lot better, you want to charge more? Fine but you better deliver with a clean experience. More attention was given to promoting sponsors than to actually working out the brackets. Overall there wasn’t one person I knew that didn’t get a negative a experience from this tournament, here’ hoping you clean it up for next time.

358

Power going out is a strict venue ordeal. there wasnt anything that they couldve have done or tested to see whether it would or not, things happen and it was getting fixed. and it only happened on a fri during team play, team play still ended up finishing on schedule as promised. during saturday and sunday the tourney power issues were resolved.

as far as the lateness, its hard to run anything smoothly if the participants werent always where they needed to be. roll call was called, people said here and some of them decided to go away as the brackets were being made. Lol you cant have a match if you opponent wasnt there right? IMO thats not something we could have controled, even though we had a megaphone and call system in place to find someone that was outside of ear shot. The Mvc3 singles tourney was ran as simplistic and lenient as possible. Shankar, the director, gave late entree’s time to get their proper registration slip, which took extra time and he didnt DQ anyone unless he absolutely needed too. In most majors ive been to (Evo) if your not there and no one knows who you are, you get a boot and handful of pocket lint.

359

This is outside of my norm, and you’re entitled to you’re opinion, but either you’re trolling or simply ignorant. Everyone involved in this event from the competitors to the sponsors put too much time and effort into Revelations not to address your comments. First and foremost the power issues occured only on Friday (in an isolated area) and were immediately addressed by staff. You say the main focus was on the sponsors, “hello” that was a major theme in this tournament, to focus on the sponsors. Who do you think brought you this pot, and will bring larger pots in the future? The whole idea was wrapped around two themes, a hype tourney and allowing gamers to make money doing what they love. Thats why we did it on E3 weekend to bring as much exposure to the scene, to you guys, as possible and prove to the sponsors that your worth investing in. If you would have read the posts and watched some of the videos you would have known that. The Level|Up Team has done a fantastic job and Shinkara the so called “dick” your mentioning runs one of the most successful brackets week after week at Wednesday Night Fights. It took over a year of planning and negotiating with sponsors and industry folk to provide the large amount of cash and prizes. When you post this on this thread your not only bashing, the sponsors and the players, but your bashing the community itself. If you wanna bash on someone bash on me… not my team, and the sponsors, and everyone involved.

Regardless of our difference in opinion, we are always looking to improve upon our events and the experience in which we provide you. If you have any other issues please contact me directly and I will take your concerns into consideration.

For everyone that enjoyed the tournament and especially to those of you that have grown with us from the beginning, glad you had a great time and we hope to see you again at So Cal Regionals 2 in November.

RE: dude with the microphone, I’m assuming you’re talking about Shankar? His style obviously seems to comes from the Philong Nguyen school of tournament direction and he’s much better for it. I wasn’t a part of mvc3, but I was there and I definitely recognized the work he was putting in to herd the cattle and get people to where they need to be on time. Sorry, but people are way too polite with this in most tournaments and staff like Shankar are exactly what is needed, IMO. Time to get shit done and done on time going forward. Gamers are irresponsible enough so it’s good to have the people on staff at least try to counter that with some discipline instead of bending to the player’s whim all of the time. Go visit an east coast tournament some time and see how things are run. Better yet, you should stay home if your feelings get hurt this easily. Nevermind the tournament staff at that point.

With regards to the other stuff, you can’t do too much about that other than what was already done by the staff. I would say 95% of large scale fighting game tournaments have issues of varying degrees and aren’t perfect, depending on the entrant’s point of view. I can’t say anything from your point of view since I didn’t enter any of the main tournaments, but I had very little issues with my time there.

Overall, the event was great for me between Friday and Saturday when I was there. Only things I didn’t like were food/drink was way too expensive on site and MK started way too late, apparently because they wanted stream time for that game. If the latter is true, then this is complete nonsense. Fuck a stream when it costs time from the actual execution of the tournament. Spectators either should have been here to see if they wanted to see it so bad, or find something else to do…like watch another stream. I hear there was another somewhat large tournament going on elsewhere at the same time with good MK players…

361

nah, i’ll let you have your opinion on the rest of your post, but dude was a dick. i’m glad i wasn’t part of marvel.

situation 1: team tournament, brackets running off of the internet which was constantly going down. he calls up 3 matches with 8 stations sitting there idle. continues to bitch at the 6 teams as to why they haven’t gotten balls deep into the brackets while he sat there for 15-20 minutes waiting for the brackets to come up online.

situation 2: playing tekken, there are two people getting called to ae that are sitting there playing each other in tourney. i walk kindly across the room, inform dude that these guys are playing tekken. he says, “okay”. walk back across the room to watch, 3 minutes later “if these guys (that i just told him about) aren’t here in 30 seconds, i’m going to disqualify them.”

situation 3: a friend who has been dealing with dude’s shit for friday and a good part of saturday decides to take the high road and sit 5 feet away from the announcer table to he doesn’t have to deal with his bullshit. he gets his name called as dude is yelling on the bullhorn. he goes “i’m right here!” and raises his hand just as his name is called. dude responds with “why the fuck are you here? you should be over there playing your game!”

it was a pretty poorly run tournament, and i’ve gotten some apologies from the staff. shit happens, so i understand that. but treating people like idiots when they are coming out to your event is pretty unprofessional, and cold hearted. maybe people don’t remember how and why old school tournaments were fun… it was because there was enough heart in how the tournament was run and the experience was great because of it. i know there are tons of mindless drones nowadays, but treat people with some respect and you’ll see that people are much more responsive to that than getting cussed out and brow beaten everytime they direct a word in your direction.

362

For the power, completely understandable as I stated it was a venue issue. For future events the capacity of power must be tested to make sure electrical limits are not being taxed. The issue was resolved on saturday and sunday but this should set a precedent on tournament preparations.

As for lateness, I feel this is an issue with most tournaments, but at revelations I felt as if a 2 and a half hour wait for singles to start was a bit much. I’m interested in seeing how you feel this issue should be tackled. At this point saying that it’s just a problem and not trying to resolve it for future events would not be the most proactive action to take.

As for sponsor focus, I don’t mind them having some sort of spotlight. All the companies involved with revelations were legit and great companies that support the fighting game company. There is something to be said about the flow of the tournament vs ads and such. This part is purely an opinon: I feel there was an oversaturation of product placement which in some sense deterred from the tournament. Take it as you will, I feel a better balance could have been struck.

As for Shinkara he did gather people for the tourney. My suggestion was to maintain a professional attitude while doing so. Making sure that you as a tournament organizer remain neutral when dealing with issues of any entrees is critical. As for the actual organization of matches I felt that people could have constantly been on deck for upcoming games making sure that all consoles were being used in a timely fashion.

In response to agilepoet’s quote about attacking the community, FAR FROM IT. My comment was in response to the tournament and how it was ran. The community is great, and commenting on a tournament having issues is not an attack against the entire community. I would personally like to thank you however for being open to improving your events and taking suggestions, I can say that this is a great step into consistently improving the tournament experience which can always be helped due to it’s large scope.

Finally in response to bernie, your answer is what I expected to hear. His style may be all his own, but when dealing with this many players that have waited over 2 hours to play isn’t the recommended path to take. I can see your take on it being all for fun and this is just how it is. But at 2 1/2 hours into a lot of the players weren’t in the mood to hear what he said. I don’t take away from what he did, and I realize how big the event was, but at the same time if you can’t build on the situation and come up with construtive criticism I suggest you revaulate what you want out of a tournament.

Overall I want to thank you guys for the responses. I phrased my response a little to negatively, but would like to say that I would like nothing more than to see the next event be more successful.

ReveLAtions was definitely a success. I really liked how there were 2 stages, one for Level Up and the other for Offcast.

My only complaints were the venue and hotel accommodations. Obviously these are outside the control of Level Up and Tournament Legacy, but I gotta air it out. First, the catering and food prices at the Proud Bird were just awful. I don’t mind eating poor quality food, but the price simply isn’t worth it. Also, under cooked chicken - FUCK THAT. Second, access to free water needs to be available, especially if the venue won’t allow for outside food and drink. During the entire event, I had to pay for 3 dollar bottles of water and drink free NOS energy drink. The NOS girls are banging, but not so much the drink.

Regarding the hotel, we kept getting accosted by the security about noise complaints. It was really unfortunate that the hotel block wasn’t fully populated by ReveLAtion tournament attendees. We couldn’t even keep a crack open in the door because of the noise of mashing arcade sticks, nor could we even speak at a normal tone late at night.

Hopefully, Tournament Legacy can address some of the issues next time; assuming they can.

365

The tourney was fun, but I hope they improve the way they run their tournaments in the future.

Here is my feedback.

The NOS sponsorship was really cool, energy drinks, youth, and video games go together really well. I don’t think NOS knows their target audience that well though. The money spent on the cute girls and the nice cars would probably be better spent hosting a gaming station, or even a hand sanitizing station, something that has heavy traffic so the spectators and those waiting in line can refresh themselves with the drinks.

**Blazblue/Guilty Gear/Blazblue/Tekken **- I’m happy they had their own section with their own projector, their community is small but I’m very happy the Revelations organizers supported them.

**The Hitbox station **was really cool and probably received more attention than any other booth.

The Proud Bird’s catering service was really great, the tacos were as good as ever!

Now for a few things I have gripes about.

**Roll call **- What was the deal with this? Its understandable to see who is there and who is not, but there are better and more efficient ways to do things.I’d love to see Keits help out as I recall he ran UFGT like a boss, and from what I hear it was one of the most well organized, large-scale tournaments ever!

Why not post the brackets the night before so everyone can see who they are playing, then divide the brackets into different times so players show up for their match at their bracket’s specific time.

The MVC3 tournament - At least two of the stations were missing characters, and I’m not talking DLC Jill Valentine / Shuma, I mean unlockable characters like Akuma, Taskmaster, and Sentinel. If that weren’t the worst of it, one of the Xboxes had an unpatched version of the game, So some infinites were available, and Sentinel had a ton of HP. I saw people winning with sentinel with that setup before it was discovered to be unpatched and its sad that some people may have lost due to the tournament organizer’s negligence.

The Hori Station - They were selling JLF sticks for $15 and only brought a few. I was near that station a lot and saw a lot of disheartened customers who would have loved to buy one if they had advertised it better or brought more. (But thanks for being there in the first place!)

Pokemon/Call of Duty/other non-FG - Do they really need to be there? There was a power outage, I don’t really mind them being there, nor did I even really notice them but I do know there was a problem with over use of power and I hope they did not contribute to the problem. I can tolerate them being there, but not if it effects the rest of the FG tournament players.

366

Was there any footage of this?

Revelations Results will be posted here:
