To be honest, the commentary was what made the match so hype…I loved it.
The commentary was both the best and worst thing. The commentators brought the HYPE, but they were too extreme. After about 30 minutes, they were just annoying.
For those lamenting the online (also some maps are softbanned, it seems?), it seems like the gameplay is fairly simple and low on assets, so it would quite feasible for someone to write a clone of the game with simpler/different graphics, proper netcode, etc. It wouldnt quite have the same charm, but gameplay > gfx right?
Although there seems to be a bias against PC as a platform in the FGC so perhaps it wouldnt take off.
This is like a vs. version of some old Japanese arcade game. Can’t remember the name of it now.
is there a petition for online MP anywhere?
also Spirit Juice, what are the official tournament rules for playing Catherine, I heard their was a certain stage that was banned also?
I would sign this petition under as many aliases as I could invent. Has any company ever added online as a dlc? It’s gotta be possible, but whether or not it would happen would really depend on sales.
Yea. I want a stage tierlist!
I’m not 100% on the rules list since I did not enter or play, but I think the ice stage is banned or something? I don’t know if it really matters since I think some matches used it anyways. Can’t take the game too srs you know. :lol: For the tournament we had it as a standard best of three games, double elim bracket. Next time it’ll probably be just best of one game with a double elim bracket due to time restraints.
No idea about stage tier lists.
The commentary was pretty good IMO because they actually explained a lot of the nuances that made the game interesting, like how certain maps work or the “option select” move and things like that. They showed that the game actually has things to talk about.
so i just found the banned stage they were talking about in achieves and its called “The Empived”.

Catherine for EVO 2012, we need to get Daigo and Justin in on this game.
Just saw the archives of the second Catherine tournament. It would have been enjoyable just like the first one… except for one small problem.
That one dude, Pablo. I really hope that guy was just horribly drunk or something, because his attention whoring single-handedly sucked every bit of fun and enjoyment out of the entire tournament. If that guy keeps showing up at Catherine tourneys, I may never be able to watch them again.
Pavo? He doesn’t usually show up to NCI, but he did since Gamecenter, the arcade the event was held at, is practically in his backyard. He came to hang out with some of us and play Gundam vs Gundam.
“Jam has appeared. It’s the killer. Do not slam.”

Thursday Night Throwdowns, a bi-weekly event, had a Catherine tournament last time as well. It may have one next time. Info on Facebook:
Is that like the Prince of Masturbation tourney here on SRK?
Sure.
Just fucking around. Never played the game but I have always loved competitive scenes for puzzlers and never understood why it does not happen more often.
(because it is hard and requires thinking)
that’s pretty much the same reason why fighting games aren’t mainstream as well.
