Inferno XXIII - SSFIV:AEv2012 and UMvC3, Dublin 04/02/2012 Exchange, Temple Bar

chopperbyrne

Inferno will once again be held at Exchange Dublin on Saturday the 4th of February.

Doors open at 10:00, registration will begin at 11:00 and close at 11:45. The tournament itself will start at 12:30. We should be finished up around 17:30.

Entry fee: €5 for venue fee and €5 per tournament.

We’ll be running on 360. Seeding is based on the last 3 tournament results. Please bring your own controller/converter!

Tournament Rules and Format
Prize pot will be split 60/30/10 among the top 3 finishers.

Format is as follows, a seeded double elimination bracket from the start.

Each match in the double elimination stage will be best of 3 sets and each set is best of 3 rounds.

People who arrive after the tournament starts are not guaranteed a place in the tournament but we will try to acommodate them if possible.

1. All characters are selectable.

2. Custom controllers and button configuration is allowed.

3. Turbo is banned. Anyone who is caught using this feature will be disqualified.

4. Players can change characters in each round of the double elimination phase. However once a match has started they may only change characters in a match after losing a set. The winner of the first set must stick to the character(s) they started the set with and may only change if they lose the second set, in which case the winner of the second set must then stick to the character(s) used in the second set.

4. Double Blind select available in the event of people being concerned about counter picking. An admin will assist with this if required.

5. Rock, paper, scissors is used in the event of people being unable to agree on which side they want to sit on.

6. In the event of a player pausing a game during a round or his stick/pad fails during a round, he forfeits the round unless both players agree to carry on. If there is a dispute an admin will resolve the dispute.

7. Players who are overly disruptive during a competition or who are distracting other players can be removed from the tournament at the discretion of the tournament admins.

8. All alt costumes are soft banned. A player can request that both characters have to use the default costume.

9. No white track suits please.



We need to be out of the Exchange by 18:00 on the dot. They have already pushed another group back an hour for us.

For those travelling from outside of Dublin who may not be able to get there early, which tournament is more important to you so we can run it second?

UberPrinny_Baal

No

I'm easy for scheduling either way, and will only be entering SF.

Marvel gonna be seeded off DoC results or last inferno results?

chopperbyrne

No

DoC.

Has Marvel been played at an Inferno?

Assuming people have been keeping the spreadsheets up to date, that data will be used.

Doctor DooM

I've got something on this weekend, AJ has kindly offered to do recording duties.

If Onion and Konata are coming, help him out please

Also if someone could bring a component screen it'll make things easier for him too.

K.O.Kiki

Yeah Marvel was played once at inferno. The results weren't used in DoC seedings, but maybe u should just use DoC seedings as they've had higher attendance.

Kiki - do you have button membranes for madcatz fightpads? If so can you bring them? - and the tiniest philips head screwdriver imaginable so I can solve the sticky MP.

Brian - I'll do recording - might look at a fresh install on your mac beforehand. (Bring your external back with you next week)

*I am not a commentator. Commentating duties will be assigned on the day. :cool:


P.S. wtf is VSHG & the new JLF?

chopperbyrne

No

Virtua Stick High Grade.

DooMs stick.

A new JLF, is a new stick and ball top (possibly mounting plate) to go inside.

I'll bring the external, but would it not be better to use your mac as mine will be with me?

UMvC3 seeds will be based on DoC6's results?

Dang, don't do that, I'll feel compelled to attend!

If there's no general preference for what order the tournies are played out, I'd like to throw out a vote for UMvC3 being second cause I could make it to the Exchange before 13:30 much easier than 12:30

chopperbyrne

No

Anyone else who's not in range of Dublin bus got an opinion on what should be the second game played?

Nutrient

No

Owwmykneecap

Street Fighter.

No

Sf played second - main event!

No

Reckon there will be more entrants for UMVC3

Goody2shoes15

No

Think i might go for UMvC3, and actually enjoy hanging around a tourney for a change, rather than being at the desk all the time!

chopperbyrne

No

Have the seedings on randomselect.ie been updated since the last Inferno and DoC for SFIV and UMvC3?

No

Have you ever flung poo at an opponent? It's hilarious fun. Whereas Street Fighter is more like sitting through a slow exam. That's why UMvC3 is far better crack.



I am so sorry for that pun.

chopperbyrne

No

So nobody kept the full sixteen rankings?

Thought there was a UMvC3 seeds list created for rs.ie too, but it's not up there.

I convinced Dan to run the tournament, check with him

Orim

I don't know if I kept them, was a very confused day.

Also we didn't have sixteen.

ayjayirl

No

Suppose all ye can do is give the points to the top 3 - anyone who placed after that has to post up before Sat to claim their points?

Marvel = not a real game; so it doesn't matter.

Nutrient

No

Giving that marvel is entertaining I can agrue that it IS a real game.

If the marvel seeds aren't found, apply seedings from DOC 6

If there is no problem with that then we're good.

No

.....being entertaining doesn't mean its a good game.

UberPrinny_Baal

If it's agreed that SF is second, any idea what time it's starting or what time SF-only players should be in to register by?

Owwmykneecap

Are we playing Soul Calibur at this?

Day one tourney after all.

Nutrient

No

That would be hysterical to watch.
But, I don't believe there'll be enough time to have 3 tourneys.

If there's time, it should totally be considered.

Ezio v Ezio constantly shooting their gun

chopperbyrne

No

Definitely not enough time. We have to be packed up and out by six.

Lythero

No

If more people attended the DoC6 UMvC3 tourney, then wouldn't seeding from that be more useful any way?

ayjayirl wrote: »

Video games are a major part of the entertainment industry, I'd figure the first priority would be to make it entertaining. If you've got that covered, it should be considered a good game, no?

im guessing that im the only person who doesnt feel happy about that for obvious reasons... but i do understand the practicality of using DOC 6 seedings ...

Naphiel

No

I'll be there for Marvel. Got a new team and want to try it out.

Mind bringing in my stick Kiki?

Nutrient

No

Better get plenty of sleep and avoid sugary foods for Sat

It'll help you play better and you'll be able to concentrate more, It'll also improve reactions.#

Ever tourney I do the exact opposite but I'm changing it this time

want to hear a joke? Marvel.

stev0knev022

No

Marvel is the only reason im even going to this inferno, i'm beyond fed up with SF, if i enter at all im playing my amazing alt characters.

Azza

Will all these crap non SF games go away please!

Doyler01

No

Marvel is the best at the moment. Quit bitching cus u have no skills.
