Okay, I’ll join in on the tournament too.
Hope I don’t get knocked out in the first round. o_O
i mentioned this to spaced in a PM but i dont think having a tourney tourney is going to really work out so well. would be much better to have players arrange their own times for matches and basically collect points over the course of a week (or 2) period. im unfamiliar with different types of tournies (round robin/seeding etc) to know the best way to describe it.
a big problem with the Xbox tournies at launch was that whenever you decide a specific time and date for these things to happen, there are always people who are unable to make it due to work/college/girlfriend or whatever, and then you lose more people who are available, but simply forget about it only to find out an hour or so later. we should be aiming for maximum people to join in with this since the community is very small atm, and the way things were done with the other tournies (im betting PS tournies had problems too) isnt gonna cut it.
this will also avoid people getting eliminated in their first 2 matches since you are supposed to play everybody, and obviously the better players are gonna have a lot more wins, and can also help people better see how much harder they need to work in order to move up the leaderboard.
I think setting up scheduled games is a great idea. I for one have a very busy and erratic schedule and that format would certainly help. Also, has anyone thought of reaching out to the dust loop community? I am sure some folks over there would be interested.
That’s not where I’m coming from.
99% of the time when I fight someone with a team, if I can get them down to their last character than they spaz out. Sure, their character is disadvantaged going one on one against a character with increased everything, but a lot of people don’t seem to know how to use all of their individual character’s capabilities, if they ever fall down to just that character. Of course there are people who do, but there are a lot more people here that don’t.
My stance is that Solo’s are viable, I’ll always have that stance, but this isn’t about that particular argument. To know, when you get down to just whoever, that you can survive without your whatever assists will help everyone. Some people give up, mentally at least, when it gets to that point.
That sounds like grounds for casual practice, not a tournament.
The players that play like that aren’t going to be any better or get any better in this tournament. If anything, it would just handicap them further and reward an unfair advantage to those who normally play solo. They are also not learning how to deal with the disdvantages of losing a character when you have a team, if they are practicing solo they aren’t having to deal with having less health, less damage, and a deadly incoming mixup. So really, they learn very little, possibly nothing.
Also, when the point of the tournament is to highlight “The Best of the Best”, but you are taking away the a largest, diverse factor of a lot of top players high level strategies (probably like 80% of good players use teams), then the that’s kind of silly, isn’t it? Its a completely inaccurate depiction of how the game is played.
I also believe Solo’s are viable, wasn’t trying to say they weren’t, sorry if that’s how I have been coming across.
I’ve come to the conclusion that a 1v1 setup would be more interesting than another team tournament. OP should just confirm it so we can spend more time registering and less time bickering amongst one another. It’s a good idea.
Bickering?
No, just bouncing off ideas from each other.
I am trying to accomadate the most amount of people.
I’d like a team tournament. Like me and a partner need to get a certain amount of points and then totaled up as a whole, since it’s on 2 diff systems lets say i partner up with a xbox person while he’s fighting the xbox peeps hes racking up points on the xbox side and i’m getting points on the ps3 side. Then calculated as a whole
Oh, snap, that’s the point I was arguing. I wasn’t… damn, I’ve been bad with words lately. I was trying to say that it was a good idea to practice your characters individually, I thought you were saying it wasn’t.
I’m thinking of holding 3 tournies in this “tourny”.
1.Mandatory Singles
1.Teams
3.Go fucking nuts
There will be points for placing (points vary on place, of course.)
And the one with the most points wins.
So this whole tournament might take a little more than 3 weeks, cool.
oh, hahaha, that explains a lot 
I think this would be a really cool format, might as well have as many scheduled games as possible!
i like this format of having points that are accumulated over the course of the thing. it will be great to see who is in the same tier/skill level as yourself
you could seperate every 3 players into seperate tiers, for example…
1st . A
2nd.B
3rd. C
4th. D
5th. E
6th. F
into
Tier 1
1st
2nd
3rd
Tier 2
1st
2nd
3rd
etc etc. would give more motivation for players to become top of their respective tiers and then hopefully move up into the next tier with more practice.
Okay now this is going somewhere.
I’m S rank.
everyone with a 360 should buy a ps3
So, this is a head’s up, tommorrow i will update the first post with the tourny, and how it will run.
SO YEAH BUMP.
OP was edited.
I mean that shit, if you can’t play solo, you have like two weeks to figure out who you want to play.
If you can’t team, honestly, you can learn a character in this game in 2 weeks.
i do like the format youve come up with. playing over a week just opens the thing up to so many more players.
i suggest there should also be something figured out in case of draw games too (if lag is bad between players and they both agree to end the set early they get maybe just a couple points each or something like that.)
Which is why I put it as round robin.
If the lag is really so bad we will try to find them a different match, but if we can’t well just give them one point that round.
Heads up, fucker.
You and Zidane will probably be handling XBL.
Just put Double in the 2nd slot of a duo and choose a Hornet Bomber assist. Instant pre-patch top tier team.
