Season's Beatings III: Money/Power/Resets! Oct. 18, 19 - 2008, Columbus, OH

Fugee, you’ll have to work out some type of live feed to satisfy the hunger.

SB3 is going to be HOT.

I just realized two fo team buffalo is on there twice:

You have Zach Lang who is OFDP listed as both, and David Le who is Strider Yoshi, listed as both. Just an fyi.

Just an FYI, Algol is banned in SC4 at SB3. It had to be done now, rather than later.

I don’t think there’s a tournament page on AllIsBrawl.com for this event. Making one would really boost your attendance and you can upload the TIO file for Brawl on the site. TIO is the best tournament program ever.

Mind elaborating on why? Is he winning 9/10 tournaments?

Good shit Web. Hold it down. :lovin:

Algol won a C3 tournament. An Algol player won a recent Norcal tournament but did not use Algol in the finals. That’s about it for now, really.

Fugee agreed to it, take it up with him.

I don’t think Algol is cheap or broken or anything liek that. However he is incredibly tedious to fight, a really bad match up for a lot of characters, boring to watch and most of all, prevents other people from playing soulcalibur with his unique projectile defense.

While it does have it’s counters, 90% of the community is already on board for banning him, Nats is going to ban him and Fugee agreed to this when I asked him about it.

Bottom line is, no one loses anything from not having him in there, most expected him to be banned already. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t play anymore if he were gone. Plus makes the tourney scene look bad, and the vids boring to watch.

Remember this is a chance to show how good calibur can be, not how rochey, tutrtley and boring it is.

Put it in perspective and ask youself if he’s worth fighting for. I did. It’s a lot more energy defending his legality than it is explaining his reasons for being banned.

I dont know, id rather see how good the players can be than the game can be. I’ve seen the vids of Algol winning C3 and read up on it, and I dont see the problem. Banning it because its different seems silly. I bet that if you give it some time and force people to deal with it on a tournament level, they will show you, with their skill, that it wasnt that big a deal after all.

I completely agree, but the community is sharply divided over it, I’d really rather not debate it on these forums, as I have typed it out too many times.

But if you all decide to have him legal, I won’t stop you. I just stated that he will likley be banned for Nats, and said the rampant use of pocket algol may sully the first big major for sc4. Remember he isn’t just hard to deal with, it’s damn near impossible for some characters to beat, and you cannot play SC vs him, people cannot play their game, to me, that is more hassle than it’s worth, telling people they cant play their style of game or character vs another just for the sake of a few preying on the overall ignorance towards the character right now.

Take me out of ST Fugee.

I see what you are saying, but all that does is make SC4 MORE appealing. People actually have to change their gameplan due to matchups. Thats fighting games, man. I don’t like games where you can just go in and do the same thing vs every character and win just the same.

I dunno, I agree Algol isn’t meant to be tournament legal, but between him, Yoda, Vader, the manga artist chars, and custom chars, we’re banning about 1/4 of the cast now. I hope this doesn’t need to be broken out into ban/no-ban tourneys like we’re doing in Brawl. Maybe we should just go back to SC2?

Oh, and I don’t see an option to turn off HP/soul gauge sliders in Vs. mode. We ARE supposed to leave those handicaps at default, right?

Take me off ST as well Fugee, not enough time to devote to it sadly :sad:
