You neglected to mention whether this would be something for season’s beatings or online.

Parasoul is my main if online, but I would opt for teams(Peacock and Parasoul) if possible.

3

Perhaps have a similar tournament for those on Xbox360?

4

I don’t think I ever said it was for Ps3?

We’re going to have brackets for both.

5

Apologies. I read your signature and saw only a psn and no xbox gamertag. So I assumed and made a grave error. Carry on. I could attempt to represent Cerebella, but I don’t know if I can be considered the best yet.

6

it should for sure be 1 v 1 for these. the game is totally different when you dont have an assist backing you since you need to be much more careful using unsafe stuff in your hitconfirms whereas on a team you just throw out your assist and youre good.

im confident in my cerebella abilities. may as well put me down for fortune as well although im not as good with her.

7

ohhhhh ohhhhhhh if possible plz record these matches i really wanna learn you guys

i mean see you guys play :slight_smile:

8

Uh, so you decide who is the best <X> player by running 1v1 Mirrors?

9

Yes. Basically, decide who is the best <X> with mirrors of everyone who thinks they are the best with her, until there is an <X> champion. After that, an 8 man, double elimination bracket with the best of the best.

If someone wins with multiple characters, they must forfeit for one of them if they meet in that final bracket.

10

So basically “the player who is best at the character who doesn’t need assists wins”.

Hi there, Ms. Fortune.

11

No character needs assists.

I got blown up by a solocock a few days ago.

If someone likes Alexis wins, it’s just because he’s too fucking scary.

12

and online?

no offense, but this is a terrible way to decide who is ‘the best’ at anything in any game.

13

uummm no, because you would be playing fortune vs fortune mirrors not fortune vs everyone else.

it would pretty much have to be really. a lot of us arent gonna have good connections with each other though is my concern.

14

I was responding specifically to Zidiane, who seemed to be under the impression that there would be another 1v1 tournament to decide the “best of the best” after deciding the “best”.

15

^^
oh right.

personally i think we should basically just play to whatever number you feel happy with to make sure results are as accurate as can be, although it should be at the very least best of 5.

Im gonna try and go FT10 in any of my games though (maybe FT7 if time/connection is an issue)

16

I think this could be fun, but I don’t think it will prove anything about anyone.

A) I can only get a decent connection with about 4-5 people on here. I assume that’s the same for other people as well. Some characters (mainly Parasoul) simply can not operate at full capacity online. Using Parasoul as an example, she has far too many links in her simple bnbs for online play at anything other then optimal connection. Heck, even the timing required on her j.lp, one of her biggest branches off of her mixup game, requires super strict link timing. I understand its the only way to have a tournament, but there are too many variables

B) Mirror Matches are a really bad way to sort out brackets. You aren’t proving whose the best with the character, your just proving who’s the best at a 50/50 matchup. This is ESPECIALLY true for characters like Cerebella. Sure, (X) player was better against bella with bella, but maybe (Z) player who lost to said Bella is stronger against EVERYONE else in the game then (X). If you guys want to do this, I would strongly recommend doing mixed brackets.

C) By making it solos only, you might steer away a lot of the top talent that plays this game. A lot of people come from a Marvel 2 background who play, and simply just want to play their teams as they have worked hard to optimize their synergy. I am not saying I am top by any means, but I for one simply don’t really have any interest in playing this game 1v1, and I know a few others who would share my sentiments.

I am not trying to be a dingus and be all like “AHH DON’T DO THIS”

I think this would be a very fun idea, but I think because of the variables introduced by the format, it shouldn’t be taken seriously as to ‘prove’ anything.

17

i understand what you mean with this but in a lot of matches you will actually end up going 1 v 1 even if you started in teams after the other characters have been killed. I did a bunch of 1v1s recently with a guy on my friend list and it was very enlightening to say the least and pretty enjoyable too. people get too used to using an assist to cover a move with long recovery and its a real bad habit to get into when you are down to your last character. plus it improves your neutral game a lot if you dont have a crazy good assist to help you get in/get folk off you like NP/updo/hornet.

18

I was referring simply to a tournament, competitive setting. I practice just playing solo, I am not saying its not a good thing to do, and that it wouldn’t be fun, but in a tournament setting, its poop if you want the tournament to be properly competitive.

It just sounds like they are trying to do a ‘whacky’ tournament (which is fine, I have entered many, like in ST sometimes we will run Zangief only), but at the same time have it be ‘serious’. But you can’t have both. And it CERTAINLY wouldn’t prove who’s best with a character.

19

This can have its usefulness if we were going to do tier lists for solo characters, but that’s like doing a tier list of MvC2 characters by themselves.

So allow me to predict what’s going to happen.

Fortune
Double
Parasoul
Cerebella
Painwheel
Valentine
Filia
Peacock

Do I get a cookie?

I think this is good for offline, but online I think PW and Bella are higher then parasoul, due to her link timing in order to actually do any kind of damage.
