If there are enough popular fighting games, then doing that will be a way to give the community (or at least different parts of the community) something to look forward to every week, as long as you’re dedicated into running the streams everyday, since it does seem like hard work.
Idealistically, it’s a good idea. But it’s gonna be pretty hard work IMO. Can probably even alternate each week with singles one week and teams the next week.
Actually, the stream already runs every night from 9pm est til 2am. As far as tournaments go, it’s not just one person that runs/maintains the tournament. There’s usually 3 moderators (so to speak) that run the tournament simultaneously.
I’m in but clearly you haven’t establish your plan other then DingDong giving you an idea. Much less games you want to do tourneys on. LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU’VE MADE UP YOUR MIND!!
I’d say the most played games, at least from the PSN forum section, are probably SSF4, MvC2, BBCS, HDR, and don’t really have a 5th.
Tekken, some random KOF game, SC4, Mortal Kombat, Arcana Heart 3, Battle Fantasia, VF5 are some of the other not so popular (or at least netplay wise) options that can be slotted. Hell, even a rotation of them can be done for the last day of the week.
Wanna think even more outside the box? Put it some Naruto or DBZ game. Even more outside the box? EA MMA, UFC, or a WWE game LOLOL
I didn’t realize you had to take care of both sides of the coast. My ideal plans would make more sense if you basically just allowed like US/Canada and not divide by east/west coast.
It’s mostly due to connectivity issues (trying to avoid lag as much as possible). Hence, why it’s broken between EC and WC. Personally, I connect full green bars with Canada so I consider them as East Coast.
Now that’s kind of pushing it.
