Super Turbo revival in Southern California at Super Arcade

hey guys, got a few minutes to update some stuff. in regards to shirts, we are actually working on some stuff to make a super dojo shirt and ill give em to you guys at a good discount if you wanna sport em!

also, i told voltech via pm but i figure i would post it here for you to enjoy. back in the day the board system functioned like this. basically took the rankings of tourney and adjusted accordingly. if you feel your spot is not right you can challenge the person above you for their spot once every other week. they have 1 week to reply and duke it out to either retain of forfeit. i thought this was a really cool system and kept alot of rivalries. ā€œthat bitch took my spot, fuck him, i challenge!ā€ thats how it went down back then and i had to take a ton of challenges when i first started haha.

the only problem i have with a ranking chart is some people will be butt hurt but hey, we are all grown ups now right? :slight_smile:

I try to post our footage up as much as possible. All of the Finals should be up there if you look up the playlists.

Any idea what the point spread is for tournaments? like 10 points to 1st, 5 points to 2nd, 3 points to 3rd, and everybody else gets 1 point? Are the challenges done in like a FT5 style or something?

I donā€™t think people will be butt hurt, if anything, itā€™ll encourage people to level up and take the next guyā€™s spot. Salt breeds motivation.

Anyone going to super arcade tonight? Call me if you go.

NOT JUST FOR BREAKFAST ANYMORE

This is freaking awesome! I think this would really help motivate people since we meet up every week already. Iā€™ll consolidate the results of all the WNFs up until now, and Iā€™ll list out the rankings as they would appear based on tournament placement (unless someone else has a better idea of how to base the rankings).

Got a 16"x20" Magnetic White board so Iā€™ll make a few adjustments to the art and get it printed tomorrow. What should the official name of the Ranking Chart be?
Right now itā€™s just ā€œRank Seatingā€ Same as the Tomo pic. I was thinking of calling it a Leaderboard

Grand Masters! :smiley: And how about changing ā€œMike Watsonsā€ to ā€œSuper Dojoā€? Or maybe put Mike as Supreme Grand Master above 1st?

Hereā€™s the changes I made and as Mike requested removed his name =\ I do like the Grand Masters idea so I added that and a little more detail :wink:

Are we cool with it being called the Super Arcade ā€œGrand Mastersā€ Leader board?

Is Super Dojo the official name of the Arcade? Cause I can change that if it is.

ā€˜Grand Mastersā€™ works. I would prefer ā€œRanking Chartā€, because Iā€™m boring like that, but it doesnā€™t matter to me either way.

What do you think about placing the graphics on either side of the ā€˜white boardā€™ area? Like cut those pictures in halfway, length-wise, and put them on either side. And we can have ā€œLeaderā€ on the left side, and ā€œBoardā€ on the right side. The way it is right now, itā€™s difficult to read the ā€˜leader boardā€™ text on the left because itā€™s so compressed.

Just an idea.

Ok how about this?

The size of ā€œGrand Mastersā€ should be larger, something 1.5x or 2x larger than current one, n maybe if ā€œLeaderboardā€ is written in Capitals?

Other than that, the last sample looks all good

ST roll call tonight? Iā€™m going to be there around 7. I got some new tricks I want to try out.

Ok I think Iā€™m done and Iā€™m ready to print

It looks good, but I donā€™t think it will be complete until my name is on that list. :smiley:

All done! ā€¦well sorta

I meant to increase the number of people on the list but it didnā€™t go so well. I can print another one but this should hold us over until then.

Beautiful Voltech! Thanks so much for putting this together for us all! Some healthy rivalries should help elevate everyoneā€™s game!

Wow, thatā€™s a pretty awesome poster Voltech. Thanks for putting in the work to making it happen. I look forward to seeing it on Wednesday.

Plus it gives me a more definitive list of who I need to beat, and in which order. Speaking of which, have we decided on how weā€™re going to do this ā€œChallenge for spotā€ system that Watts talked about?

haha good work man. looks dope and still has a old school feel to it! why you gotta go and make this so competitive :frowning: now i wanna play!

you guys wanna run an inaugural ST ranking chart tourney for fun this saturday? commando wants to try out his new streaming equipment and i think it would be fun. get back to me soon guys. maybe a quick 3 game round robin for anyone who wants to play and then use that to kick off the rankings? lemme know soon so we can get things set up. pz.
