Project Fi.G.H.T.S. Episode 3: The Cakey Runback



Another Slayers24 has just been announced, and you know what that means - it's Project Fi.G.H.T.S. time!

Tournament format is groups into double elimination.
All matches except for the grand final will be decided by a single game. (probably 2/3 since it looks like we'll have a second setup)
The grand final will be best two out of three. (3/5)
Button binding is OK.
Character selection is completely free. (except for Gill of course)

Was it at last year's Dramatic Battle? That'd be Tsukiko-Chan if it was.

I'll practice a bit for this, people generally seem to be playing 3S again up here now anyway.

K.O.Kiki

- Double elimination

I stand a chance!

- Single game

... oh

Srsly, please up it to best 2/3 games. Japanese rules suck, and you can get 3 games in the time it takes a single SFIV match to finish!

Don't know if this little tidbit has been posted here yet, but the 3S side-tourney at CXC outdrew any of the main games (21 - SSF4 and BB drew 16 each. GGAC wasn't far behind, on 15).

Well, there will most likely be only one setup available. We could go with 2/3 but we'd be doing very well to finish the tourney in less than four hours in that case.

That said, if it's possible to run two or more setups we'll switch to 2/3, definitely.

Dreddybajs

Would definitely be more likely to come up for this if it was 2/3. Hope you can secure a second setup

Cloudpaul

I can secure a 2nd setup easily for it, even if it means bringing my own TV down too.

Yreval

Excellent. First post edited.

Scavenger XIII

Oh yeaaaah! 3rd strike y'all!

Ramza

What's my prize?

Blinn

Wow! Cakey runback is a great name for a tournament.

Owwmykneecap

Newtype is a 3s beast... watch out!

K.O.Kiki

So do I pick Ken/Chun, or do I go with my heart.

Hmm...

I've seen both play, and Newtype is really good, but Ramza is a mo foing beast!

Ramza

I used to play with Simon and Mike ages ago IIRC (definitely Simon at least), I just don't think he remembers :pac:

3RD STRIKE!!!

Owwmykneecap

This taking place in the middle of one of them 24 hours things right? The journey is just too long for me to bother with otherwise, I had to run off the last day, so I could get a decent bus home.

And +1 for best of 3

Well Mike hasn't played the game properly in aaaaaaaaages, since he prefers to put more effort into getting good at 1 game rather than thin out. Still, it'd be nice to get people back into playing 3S up here properly again (not that many of us did the first time round, lol). Looking forward to a night of proper FGs again, anyone wanna play GG too then hit me up.

All day if you can :pac:

Looking forward to this

Yreval

Just letting you guys know that I'm bringing the start of the tourney forward to 1:30 pm (in order to make sure it's finished before 5:30, by which time I'll be leaving Slayers24 because of something that's come up). I'll probably put together a new poster to reflect this soon.

EDIT:

Yreval

So, this couldn't go ahead as both of the guys who were supplying copies of the game were delayed by the snow. I've (tentatively) rescheduled this for the 15th of January, with the next Project Fi.G.H.T.S. taking place the following weekend.

Vyze

Hey man I checked my calendar and I won't be able to make this one at all, sorry!

Sucks too since I've really been in a 3S mood this past week!

Yreval

No problem, Paul's bringing a setup - time might be a bit tight, though, if we get a big turnout, although I doubt that's likely at this stage.

Blinn

I'm comin! Heck yeah. I have lots of uni projects but you gotta make time for 3s

Scavenger XIII

Out of interest do many of fighting game crowd usually show up to saturdays sessions?

I've always been under the impression that saturdays are a bit dead, think someone told me that when I first joined.

Ramza

Savin money so don't think I can go

Let someone else win innit

inb4 dodger, I'll take y'all on
