Toronto SFIV 17vs17: Ideas, Discussion

This is all up in the air right now, but we’re trying to get together a 17vs17, like they did in Nakano, Japan recently.

The idea is to have two people represent an arcade character, then have a 2 team tournament based on a TBD format.

We could skip certain characters if there’s not enough players for them, and replace them with a console char (e.g.: replace Vega with Gen??).

So we need a list of players for each character, and an acceptable format. Also, a venue.

Any ideas?

Suggested list:

Abel = LedHendrix/DaDesiCanadian
Akuma = Chaos2D/RPGv2
Balrog = JDK Mark/C Royd
Blanka = Arcade Legend/UltraCalvin
Chun Li = JS Master/WB!
C Viper = Nameless/Blitzman
Dhalsim = Traininho/Gerjay
El Fuerte = Mr Trite/Sacojericho
E Honda = Davero/DarkGigyas
Guile = Flat Top/Heishin Concept
Ken = Wilson/SosoAwesome
M Bison = Poke Guy/Mosh’s Bro
Rufus = Dice01/Buddah
Ryu = DaflipmastaXV/Eric Hai
Sagat = Mosh/Flightwing
Vega = Nagata Lock II/NeoRussell
Zangief = Noodleman/YellowS4

I like this. If this runs i will arrange live stream pending the location. Also i’m sure POWNZ would have no problem hosting this for you guys.

Also another idea is… we should come up with a PROPER ranking system… like the BP system they use in Japan… and do qualifiers and such…

In essense, we should all get together and create a league.

POWNZ probably wouldn’t be the best location, since it’s far out of the way for the East enders especially.

We’d have to get somewhere more central, Starnet is looking good right now.

replacing with console char is kinda dumb imo.

How will the teams be decided?

I guess if starnet has enough equipment and the space to hold such an event, then i would definitely agree with you.

I havent’ been to starnet so i can’t really judge.

OK, find us two Vega players worth watching.

Teams will most probably be random.

Abel…Led Hendrix…Jeebus
Akuma…Chaos2d…ItalDan
Balrog…JS Masters…Jay Wang
Blanka…Arcade Legend…Calvin
Chun…Nagata…WB
Viper…Nameless…Gerjay
Dhalsim…Traninho…NDRPWNDY
fuerte…Trite…Saco
Honda…Davero…DG
Guile…Rebelo…Heishin concept
Ken…Wilson…Teddy
Bison…Hisham…Greek
Rufus…Blitzman…Dice
Ryu…Mark…Eric Hai
Sagat…Spiral…Wing
Vega…Russel…?
Gief…noodle…Yellows4

This is a tentative list of the players that would rep each character, its not teams.
Console characters are still being toyed with.

Feedback is most definitely welcome.

Russell and Justin for Vega. That is all.

Justin is Chun. Doubt he’d want to play his inferior character.

I think we could build this up in many ways… rather than just having it random…

The problem with this idea is that the common practice around here (GTA) is to play a few different characters. Unlike japan where most guys seem to play only one character.

Perhaps we need to do qualifiers for each character?

Honestly thats just too time consuming.
We all know who should be playing who, if anyone has any legitimate arguments then feel free to voice your opinion.

yea please not @ pownz not worth the drive really, and qualifiers sounds good

If it’s a matter of just throwing it together… then yeah this is fine…

However i was more lookin into doing it properly… getting all the proper rankings and such. and THEN doing this.

No need to make it overly complicated.

The list is looking pretty good.

Also, this would probably require a deposit. Having 34 people show up is a little iffy, so it would probably be something like $10 entry, $10 deposit maybe a month or two before it happens. Show up, and you get your money back.

i only suggested pownz because really… there are only two places suitable to run this.

Getty isn’t an option with one machine it’d take forever
POWNZ has proper facilities but it’s far for everyone
Starnet has the best location but i havent’ been there so i dont’ know what facilities are like.

So i mean if we had to choose… so long as Starnet has the right facilities it’d be the best place to run it. But i think that was already pretty much set in stone that itd be run there

It’s not set in stone.

But it has the space, the equipment, and it’s cheap as hell.

They offer group discounts with the more people you bring in… 34 people = very cheap.

Led’s list is pretty good.

Sub CQ for JS for Rog.

Sub JS for me in Chun.

Sub me in ? for Vega

^^^ Oooh, that’s not a bad idea at all.

But CQ doesn’t really play anymore, and when he does, he plays Gat.

yea pownz was definately out of the question, theres alot of space at starnet as is and the $$ saver is just a bonus.

Get Hype

Possible to do it at that sogoz place?

I want a Honda spot =D but I’m probably not deserving of it
