Hype of Two Worlds 2 - XGC - 7/5/11 MVC3-BBCS

Speed Boat

Time for some more Marvel and Blazblue!

I'll be running this "Hype".

Cost will be a €5 entry to the event and €5 for each tournament.

Provisionally, Marvel will be run on Xbox and Blazblue will be run on PS3.

The tournament format will be group stages into top 8/16 double elimination brackets.

I want to know how people feel about running the tournaments one after the other rather than at the same time, most likely with BBCS first. A few people mentioned it might cause some difficulty/effect their game play.

Registration will be from 12 onwards with the tournament in some form kicking off at 13.00.

All usual rules apply.

I'll update this when I get some feedback on which way to run it.


Marvel Seedings
1. Gory
2. Voa
3. Dreddy
4. Doom
5. NoTagerMerlin, Bourke
7. Speedboat, Xinkai
9. Bush, Foamy, D.Onion

BB Seedings;
1. Voa
2. SadX
3. Joe
4. Linoud
5. QMM
6. Xinkai
7. Batman
8. Scavenger
9. Holly
10. D.Onion
11. Orim
12. Jarvy1

Voa

I shan't be there for either, I fear... Exam on the day.


Also, for BBCS; the DLC characters are on 3 consoles in specific; 38,40,42 I believe, with Mu-12 missing off of 38, but the other two having all the characters.


Best of luck in running this, Speed




Also, I have the BB and marvel seedings on spreadsheets if you want me to send them over to you to have access to prior tournament rankings.

Doyler01

I'l only be playing Marvel and have no preference about running them together or separate.


Mega hyped for Marvel tho.

Doctor DooM

XGC? aw...

Owwmykneecap

Exams too.

Dreddybajs

No preference here either on the games running, I think it'd be faster doing both at the same time though.

Switching between games is something players just have to get used to at tournaments imo, but as I don't play BB I'm not pushed either way for this tournament.

TVSAdamwest

Might aswel play them at the same time all 8 of the Blazblue players wont cause a disturbance

D4RK ONION

I'll play both only if they're separate, otherwise I'll be devoting myself to MvC3.

Speed Boat

Can some one throw this up on sf.ie when they get the chance?

Insert generic hype marvel sentence here.

Xinkai

I recommend leaving it for this month, what with college exams and the evo tourney coming up, which should be getting full attention imo. Also if we leave it a month, then BBCS2 will be out too.

D4RK ONION

I'm up for it anyway, see ye there.

Speed Boat

Yeah I'll still be running it. It's not going to take anything away from the evo event.

If there's low turnout that's a pity but I'll run it anyway.

Dreddybajs

I'll stick it up on the site later

Doyler01

I'l be there.

Xinkai

*I was out last night / I'm sick / Woke up late*

Speed Boat

This is saturday get hype!

Hope we see some new teams.

Scavenger XIII

Might come down for some Marvel, BB will be lucky to have enough entrants for a tournament (8 at CXC2 and hardly anybody remembered WTF they were doing).

TVSAdamwest

Yeah BB is suffering from alot of ring rust at the moment even the top american players are scratching their heads trying to remember what to do :pac:

Myself and Joe had an amazing handful of matches where we were totally lost on what we were doing.

It was the best.

Linoud

I wouldnt mind, I'd be up for it I suppose, only for the BB though, since I dont own MVC to play it enough to enter. But it is doubtful there will be many/enough for BB these days.

MrLeonhart93

Hey, New to the fourms. I'll be there for the Blazblue Tourney. Looking forward to it =D

Get Hype!!!!

Naphiel

Blazblue still going ahead? Count me in.

D4RK ONION

If ye need the numbers, I'll be happy to enter the best Tager in the land :P

Take a number there, laddie. There's a queue.

You too, get behind

Linoud

Ya'll need to stand back, there's a churrnicane coming through!

Gonna spread word about the BB tournament and see if I can get a few people interested. It'd be nice to get some more faces in, it's been too long since I played properly myself, and if everyone is rusty, it gives newcomers a good chance to get in and enjoy themselves without getting hammered too badly and turned off, no? Give them a little taste. :P

D4RK ONION

I will practice BB properly til Saturday, my last showing was a joke. :P

Linoud

If it was a joke, then you kicking my ass the first time we fought is very shameful. :P I best learn how to fight random tagers, no?

D4RK ONION

>_< Didn't mean to offend your own play, I just personally am capable of a slightly better standard of BB play than the last time.

Linoud

Naw, it's fine. No offense taken! I wasnt playing great myself, might've been the people shouting behind us in the first match putting us off. Bad Xinkai!

Scorchio MK7

Won't be able to make it due to Prior Arrangements but while I'm here is there any chance of there being some MK at the event? Even just for some casual play?
I know a few people who would be interested in going for that alone let alone MvC and CS.

I'll be going and will bring MK9 for anyone who wants a few casuals of it just like last saturday casuals

Linoud

Does anyone know how prizes are usually divided up? I've put a status up on FB and a few people have been asking me about the prize and whatnot. Not too many, but one or two hopefuls.

Couldn't really give them an answer other than, however many people show up, and a cut of their entry fees for the top 3, divided in some shape or form.

Speed Boat

It's split 60/30/10 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively.

How much that is in cash money dollars is determined by the number of entrants.

GorySnake

I'll see, its quite close to my exams

BourketheJerk

Can't make it to this. Was hoping i'd be able to but I will be busy on saturday

I'll pop in for MK9 and SSF4 casuals, but I'll probably be playing more MK on the day. The tournament takes complete priority, but if there are a few free consoles, we can have some friendly matches.

Doctor DooM

Right.

I may or may not be at this but the recording equipment definitely won't be (as some of you already know I have a sick relative which is limiting my ability to pre plan things right now).

If you want stuff recorded you'll have to make alternative arrangements I am afraid.

I'm hoping getting hammered encourages me to get better instead of putting me off BB. :pac:

I'll be there for the BB tournament but I'd be up for a few games after.

Linoud

That is how I'd like alot of people to be, but unfortunately, not everyone is like that. :P

Naphiel

I guess some people just can't see the beauty in being kicked around.

The Hound

I just found out I cant make this, might be able to be in later at about 6 if people are still around. Still a long shot if I can make it or not

GorySnake

Im almost certain I can go now. Get hype.

TVSAdamwest

I haven't missed a wheel yet so I should be there

Naphiel

Playing some Blazblue for the first time in months. I honestly can't remember a thing. Doesn't help that I've never played this with my stick. :pac:

Orim

Just pick Tager, he's ezy mode :P

Might not make it in. Going out on Friday. I'll do my best to bring the beesets though.

Naphiel

Tager makes my blood boil.
All you Tager players should be ashamed of yourselfs.

Linoud

He's not exactly one of my favourite match-ups, since I have to pound on him for so long without any mistakes, but ah well.

And you'll be all right, I can't even use a stick that well, and I'm a 360 Pad player, so the PS3 controller always feels weird for me to play on, on the day of the tournament. :P

All you have to do vs Tager is counterpick as Lambda and run away like a lil bitch!

Orim

But how can she run? She has no ankles!!

TVSAdamwest

If you are having trouble with tager play Voa a few times he feeds you counter tager advice as you play him its very helpful.
If you know his traps it gets easier but voa will never tell you everything hes generous not stupid:).
Also vyze dude come down for a wheel I havent played you since my first wheel were you perfected me in the 5v5 I would like to use you as a progress measure:D
