Street Fighter 5 Online Tourn. for PSN/Live Giftcards & Paypal. New Tour. starting 6/...something

Greetings all. I’ll make this short and sweet. I’d like to do an online tournament with at least 12 players but we can do up to 20 or more. It’ll be like the usual tournament except…online. I’d like to work the kinks out so I’m open to suggestions.

This is important. Sign up in HERE. Don’t be acting all shy and sending a note. I want to see your face in the light damnit. Also let me know if you’re on PS4 or PC and your region of habitation. Include your online name as well. If you don’t want to share that here then you can send me a note. Added 7/10/2016 Also include if you’re for or against this going 2 days if necessary. You still have to sign up in here though.

F.A.Q.

When does this start?

Date pending. After 8 people sign up A.S.A.P.

How many days is it?

1

Is there an entrance fee?

Of course not. How would I charge an entrance fee for an online tournament?

How are brackets being handled?

I’ll be using chaloonge (sp)

Sir, are you an escort for geriatric women?

Next question.

but sir…

NEXT QUESTION!

How will payouts work?

The players who place 1st, 2nd and 3rd will receive codes they can redeem for whatever equates to currency on PSN, Live. 1st Place will receive $40, second gets $20 and 3rd $10. Once the top 3 are established they can send me a note with their payment method of choice. They’ll receive it no later than a day afterwards unless something really really really bad happens to me.

Will there be a losers’ bracket?

Sure why not?

How many games per set?

Pools are best 2 out of 3. The semis and grandfinal will be first to 3.

Is this just for players in the U.S.?

Only North American residents can enter.

What will happen if I can’t play at a certain time?

I know that real life can do some funny things to us so I will show leniency and the tournament will continue while you sort things out. However if you’re not ready to go 10 minutes after the last game in a pool is played then that will be considered a forfeit.

What if I miss out on this tournament? I want that fight money.

Don’t despair. I’ll probably do another one in the future. I may even sweeten the pot so to speak…

Can I switch to a different character if I win?"

No, no you may not.

How can I keep up with all of the current happenings in regards to things?

Check this forum at least once a day.

I’ll enter in.

Never done an online tourney before

Please no bully

That’s the spirit.

You most def should do a losers bracket with only 20 entrants. Also I made the mistake of giving people a bunch of time to schedule tourney matches and it didn’t work to well. Tourney day should be tourney day/time and those who can’t make it are SOL.

Other weekly online tourneys I’ve been apart of keep it simple. Have a stream set up to show matches and the host provides commentary, matches are reported in the chat/ in private message on steam and the challonge bracket is updated by those who actually play.

I can up it to 24 if necessary.

Yeah the hosting thing is something I’ve been wondering about as well. I think I should be good to do so. Would the battle lounge be a good place to do so? Should I make it one or 2 days? I don’t have any streaming equipment. I thought I could just record and upload to YouTube. That’s cool right.

Battle lounge would be fine, also if you are on ps4 you can stream natively from the console. No extra equipment needed.

I say stream because the chat room there gives everyone a central location to chat in during the matches, I’m sure discord can work as well.

I didn’t know you could that. Hory shit.

Let me look into discord as well.

add me . fighter id is Playa-V

I’m interested, depending on when this shindig gets started of course

Same, I’ll be in depending on the date. Please make it after Evo.

On PS4

When is this supposed to be? I’d be down for this as long as the timeframe works out for me.

yeah i’ll try. Just let me know how it works but if you’re asking for money to enter then nope, idk you - you need more people.
