Interest Check: Team tournament, Hallowe'en weekend

Dreddybajs

Since Gamer Expo isn't on Hallowe'en weekend, would people be up for a team tournament in XGC instead?

Also, would ye prefer 2v2 or 3v3 as the format?

Doctor DooM

2 v 2. More teams.


Could we perhaps pick our own teams? We've done the random thing 3 times now, I think.

Dreddybajs

Yeah, sorry, should have clarified that. I'm all for people picking their team members in advance. Anyone left over can pair up on the day.

Azzamax probably will be the most annoying team in history !

daltronica

Sounds cool. How does this work? Do i need to round up a team?

Hey Jim, where abouts in tralee you from, thats a long way to come for some games.

Shout out:
I played a few casuals with a guy who moved here from America at the last Inferno, wondering if he's on here. Played a savage akuma.

K.O.Kiki

I vote 2v2, single game each -- P1 of Team A takes on P1 of Team B, same for P2s, winners play for tie-break.
Double-elimination.

SSFIV games are slow enough as-is, 3v3 would take ages.

More teams. More rivalry.

Nah it ain't, trains are pretty cheap with student travel card. Plus I want to visit Dublin again, didn't really get to see it much last time since I was at Eirtakon.

Any takers for Team Anti-Doom?

My fiance called us for dinner so he instantly hit end match without so much of a second gone by after losing 4/5 in a row...... Never in the history of playing SSF4 have we not finished out the game we were playing. :rolleyes:

Do you play Xbox or PS3?

K.O.Kiki

I'll join you AJ.

Team DryRyu

Done. But it has to be Team Anti-Doom....:D

Speed Boat

I'll be there for sure. Think a 2v2 will be best for getting numbers(of teams).

Will we be running it as one instance of a character per team and character lock?

Character lock is good idea but if they want to pick the same characters, let em. imo.

I play on a PS3 pad. No worries though, I ordered a controller converter for 360, still needs to be tested though. It should be arriving on early next week.

Oh yeah, could someone provide me a link to where this XGC is?

Oh yeah oh yeah, we need a team name now! Suggestions? Who do you play? I main Guy.

D4RK ONION

Directions: Get the Luas into the city from Hueston as far as Jervis, then... walk about 2 minutes

Dreddybajs

Saturday's grand, that's the day I was sort of assuming people would want it anyway.

I want to run it as character lock and 1 of a character per team (the norm for 2v2 and 3v3 tournaments).

Anyone else have a preference on Japanese or American-style format (American = as Kiki said, P1 team A vs P1 team B, P2 vs P2, then tiebreak between the winners - Japanese is winner stays on so you can have OCVs).

Personally I prefer Japanese style but if a good few people would prefer the other way I'm happy to run it that way.

Ramza

I'd prefer Japanese style, but either way is fine with me

Speed Boat

Japanese style i think. I want to see ocvs and the associated hype.

Just wondering cos im from round tralee way too. 75 euro for a return to dublin, without a student card, your nearly better flying. sigh..

Doctor DooM

Train tickets are a hell of alot cheaper if you book early and online, student or not.

Usually main Blanka or Ryu but I've been playing some Seth lately.
I play Xbox.
As for team names we should be team "probably won't win" or team "cheap booze is good news" something sh1te like that

Placebo

wouldnt sunday suit ? as people will be in town for halloween etc and can go out straight away ? specially ppl travelling from far

Dreddybajs

I doubt it, especially doubt people want to bring their sticks and whatever out on Hallowe'en night straight from the tournament. I'm running it on Saturday anyway.

Placebo

makes sense.
Also +1 for japenese style, OCV's

GorySnake

We want OCV's get outta here Kiki
