Everyone's welcome to say what they like, mate. It's a (sorta) free forum.
The only reason, and I do mean the ONLY reason, we don't run more team based tournaments outside of the SF one on the day is time constraints. If we had more time, I'd be very willing to do more team oriented stuff, like our old-fashioned North Vs South 5v5 BlazBlue offs. As it stands, we simply don't have the time to run both a singles and a team tournament...maybe if we get enough time at the end of the day for DoC4, since we're running from 12.40 (end of the prior event) till about 20.40 (end of our time), we might do some quickie 8-team single elim something, but I can't promise anything (we were VERY pushed for time on the last DoC).
As for MK commentary, there's no set persons to do it; it's whoever volunteers at the time. I did try to talk one of the MK lads into it, but it's a daunting thing for some people. Personally, I gab on and on, so I'm pretty confident behind the mike, but it can be a scary the first time. So...if you want do the commentary, show up and speak your mind

ah good 2 see opinions can be voiced on this forum, unlike others *cough airsoft cough*
1st of all thanks for replying
yea i see how time could screw ya over, i get ya now
i aint no tom brady but the more people i can get playing mk the better, i just want people to know as much info on the game as can, whats safe whats not what has super armor what just has 1 hit armor, this beats that and the like
i just like playing, win or lose, sometimes i prefer to lose because you learn from every loss, id really like to play kuratao, hes liu looks so sick in the vids ive seem, i could learn alot get my ass handed to me by him 0 -

This also means that you're commentating on every match when you're not playing if you want commentary to be at your standard.
Also who will be commentating when you're playing?
You'll need to arrange a rotation of volunteers to work it out.
It's basically all on you.
thanks for the insight man
ye i see what your saying, whos going to do it when im playing?
i might have to try sort that out or maybe it could go back other volunteers or the default(for lack of a better word) comm team0 -

You raise an interesting point but as Voa said it's voluntary.
There are no set commentators for any game whatsoever, if you hear a specific voice constantly in a certain game, then the person is merely still commentating by coincidence
The only people who have in depth knowledge on Mortal Kombat are Kurotao, Myself and maybe Doyler [I really don't know if he does] and chances are, while these matchs are going on we'll probably be partcipating in other tourneys or the MK one itself so really, we don't have enough players with knowledge of the game to commentate each one equally.
your bring up some valid points nutrient
see that would be one handy thing with me as i ONLY play mk
i just want to help give mk a bigger community in Ireland.
ps.if anyone thinking of gettin into mk, watch the top 8 matchs from evo
8players 7-9 chars used, its one of the most balanced game that was there .ie.tekken all bob n law, ae,the twins,viper (ps seth doesnt count tee-hee)mv3 dont even get me started haha :rolleyes:0 -

Sounds good.
A default comms team would even be an improvement on what is done for Street Fighter, since the SF scene is so big they have a lot more simultaneous setups running, and therefore less people who are waiting to play/available to commentate.
I'm not very good at commentating any game myself, but I'm usually always available after I get knocked out in groups :pac:0 -

If, no offence, the Mortal Kombat community got off it's arse and ran tournaments themselves, I am sure then it'd be a good idea to explore tournament formats. But until then I personally would be against it.
Same for the commentary as others have said, it's up to MK players to man up and do the commentary. People don't like talking about stuff they don't understand, it's just they're in effect doing me a favour by doing it.
Now, the above might seem a bit caustic, but I don't want to be- it's just I think people don't understand just how much MK or any game will go no where unless people who like it take responsibility for it. And I have to say, this is the third time I've said this, after reading MK people moaning about there not being enough tournaments. Why is it people who don't play MK's responsibility?
I would also say- who ever mans up and does it will get help. Like, I'll record any tournament I can long as I am available, and I am sure other people will show up and help out with organising etc because that's what we do and the way we roll. I know there's a MK scene in this country but Day of Champions isn't going to build it on it's own, it needs people like you.
Oh and Nutrient- considering the "Liu Kang needs to be more rushdown" as he bullies his opponent into the corner and lands a 40% combo, I don't think you actually grasp what a high level understanding of MK is, no offence! (As I could see that and I have played MK9 a total of 30 minutes)
1st of all before forget to type it,"liu kang needs be more rushdown" holy crud
now that that outta way...
doom thanks for your insight man,very aprecated
ok, you speak of a mk kommunity (forgot to spell with a k earlier shame on me :rolleyes:) in europe not just ireland is pretty much doesnt exsist, turkey has a suprising big one but how and ever.
only big mk kommunity before mk9 was umk3 which was 99.9% american based,even mk vs dc had small kommunity even with bringing the dc heads in. also another reason for this is mk9 is the 1st mk game that isnt broken, if you ever played a mk before mk9 youll know what i mean and the fact mk9 was the 1st mk at evo adds to my point
because of this this is 1st game i play for more than ****s n giggles and lets be honest before mk9 thats all this game was for.
i know nothing of setting up tournies and the like but if a mainly mk tourny was made? how many would go? not many at this point in this time imo.
you would have to throw in sf and others to get any turn out and why put on a tourny to grow mk kommunity if people wouldnt be there for mk??
like maybe some who goes to play sf might see mk and be like oh thats looks fun ill give it a go so i see the benfits of having other games so kinda a catch 22
maybe your right doom,all thats needed is for someone to man up, maybe thats man me,i dunno all i know is,i dont want mk to die and i dont want the only way for me to get matches is online0 -

Yup. This is why, while I was initially against having SF teams at DoC, I was persuaded that the easiest way to get more people in to play games they might not turn up for tournaments at was to have it.
Also, you CAN run a tourney for your own game...just don't expect big numbers. Wheel Of Hype was an old tournament I ran for about 8 months that solely ran Blazblue, and its top attendance was about 16 people, with 5-7 being the lowest. I always ran it though, you gotta be a little bullheaded about tournaments And as Doom said, the XGC is a pretty good place to run smaller tournaments. 0 -

Are you in Dublin? Probably the best thing to start with is organising to meet up for casuals in XGC some Saturday and see if people could come.
i live in drogheda but getting to dublin no problem to me,
yea ive been thinking to go to a casual to try get some people to play mk with me but i dont know anyone in ireland gaming scene apart from players ive meet in the mk thread so kinda bit lost and bit

If you look around here, you'll see loads of threads titled something like "CASUALS, XGC, 15 December" or something like that.
You could start a thread like that for a week or two and ask for MK people to come along as a first meeting. You could discuss a tournament there.
Even if you get 3 people- it's a start, and if you pick a Sat or a Wed you'll run into the SF lads who always meet there, and could help.
Make sure to mention it in the MK thread, too.
There were so many people into MK on boards when it came out, I am sure there's potential to build a scene.0 -

1.Put the bracket listings for each game on the wall!
2.Set up casual consoles away from tournament games [If consoles are available]
3.People need to mind my language, chill to f**k out!
A few people got too salty about games and you know what?
**** happens, no use in crying about it,
1 - Logistically non viable imo. I think you (Voa in this case) need to delegate the running of each of the different tourneys to nominated/elected people - like Dreddy at the last one. That would give each tourney a point of contact to find next match and not everyone looking for Voa - which doesn't work.
2 - Extra consoles - put them to use within the tournament to move it along. I really don't think that casual play is something that a tournament should be specifically providing for at the expense of a tournament machine/setup. Be ready for the tourney, not have to get ready by playing casuals. The more setups you have, the easier it is to accommodate should it be possible but from most, if not all, of the tourneys/events we have hosted, there is never enough setups to do this specifically - imho.
3 - You cannot tell people how to act or respond - once its either respectful, or HYPE, then so be it. "**** happens, no use in crying about it,"? Muh? Get HYPE, get competitive, or get out
. I just don't get this - we should all play nice. As Farz said (I know, I can't believe I'm agreeing with him) we are too nicey nicey anyway when it comes to playing. Am I wrong? Now, I am not saying we should all throw the toys out of the pram, but .... Has to be a bit of edge to it. 0 -
