IDK, I actually didn’t mind the first few matches being 2/3 since they all are being shown on stream. Continuing with the tourney feel that you have to “earn” the right for a 3rd match. I get the arguments that a best of 3 is a better way to see who really is better.

I didn’t feel as strongly about it staying 2/3 though, especially not as strong as those who are actually going to be competing.

I dunno I get why people want FT3 I just think if you want a hype tourney, making the first few rounds FT2 is way better for underdogs. That’s why I don’t get F Champ complaining playing Dhalsim.

Here’s why - Lets say F champ beats Daigo in the first match of a FT2 - the dynamics have changed instantly, F Champ is now only one match away from the next round, Daigo HAS to win next. If F Champ is smart he can change his play style up a bit and put the tension onto Daigo.

Now flip that to a FT3, nobody cares, he’s still gotta win 2 more a Daigo just got a free read on his habits and is now prolly going to destroy him 3-1.

This is also true for characters that can go Ham. Why not just gamble with Mika or Ken mix ups in the first match of a FT3? Play like a tard, you’ll probably win and if not it’s a freebie.

All FT3 achieves is all the solid top players in winners and the underdogs in losers. Not everytime, but you get my meaning.

I thought the finals of the CPT were meant to reward the overall better SF5 players in the world, not just put up some show.

The best player/players dont always win. That’s pretty much every sport ever, America practically invented the sporting “show”

I know personally I have much more enjoyment watching a tourney where ISDD or Valle ( upsetting Bonchan) pull out some memorable wins in bad matches or a big upset.

A knock out tourney is insanely difficult even if you are the best player in the world.

The topanga league in Japan is probably the format if you want true deep match ups.

And what tells you that those players cannot figure out their opponent and make a comeback in a FT3? Giving “weaker” players the chance to play more against “stronger” ones means they have more time to understand what they’re fighting and come up with a solution. Imagine a John Takeuchi losing 0-2 against Infil, then having a stroke of genius and coming back 3-2… that would’ve not be possible in a FT2 because one match may not give enough information and on the second one you’re under pressure of being eliminated.
If the underdogs just steal the matches by pulling out a random gimmick I don’t think anyone really wins. But if they prove they can overturn a bad situation maybe they are not really underdogs.

3 weeks since I’ve started going weeklies again. Top 8, 3 weeks in a row.

Ayano is teasing another announcement coming either this Monday (or the next).

I just don’t see it working like that at all.

There’s a million bucks on the line and you’ve got to play Daigo in a FT2 or a FT3? You’re playing a character that’s a bad match against Ryu.

Which do you choose?

Same with tech - techs going to work in a shorter set much better than a long one. At high level the game might come down to one or two hard reads , that’s just FGs , it’s not all skill you need a bit of luck too.

Players grow as well as the tourney goes on, get confidence.

I like the FT3 at the pointy end, but early stages I think it’s ok to have FT2. Either way I don’t mind, I just don’t see the big need for a tourney that every match is a FT3.

YorKeY · November 11, 2016, 5:55pm

The announcement is Akuma being released this year around the holidays after Capcom Cup, along with his rainy stage.

Trife88 · November 11, 2016, 5:59pm

The announcement is a special Akuma Costume with an image of Chun-Li wearing a new Costume replacing his Gi’s Kanji

Because ya know…I heard you like costumes so we put a costume in your costume

You say players grow as the tourney goes on. What about being beaten by Daigo in two quick matches from the very first round and having to climb the entire losers bracket to have a chance to have another shot at it? We have often seen players beat their opponent in a runback, perhaps they wouldn’t have needed it if they had one more match. This is even more true for players coming from regions like South America that may probably not have as much experience as people who regularly play against the top Japanese players.
We already had an entire year of tournaments. We are way past the “early stages”. Moreover, the FT3 was a request from pro players themselves and if even underdogs like FChamp are okay with that it means they must be confident they won’t need to cheese their way in.
I don’t even think any tournament would be played in FT2 format if there were much less entrants. But since there are only 32 players left there’s no problem in letting them play more.

I’m not talking about cheese. I’m talking statistics and odds.

In other news everytime I return from work theres yet another horse shit update that I have to wait on installing. I fucking hate gaming these days. Bullshit updates at every turn, just gimme the damn game in the fucking box.

Is there a sweeter way of winning than having Sim’s stretchy punch hit a banana peel and knock him out?
