Idea For a Tournament

UberPrinny_Baal

Good man Fergus, all that study clearly paid off.

As Dan already said this sounds like his Day of Champions: "Classic" or "Original Flavour" which was (if I remember correctly), a bunch of random games each at €1 entry cost, or a €5 for entry into every game there. The winning pot allocation was either as you suggested (70:30) or "Winner gets everything after console rental costs"; but it was more about trying new things than winning money.

Games that were run at this thing were exactly as you're saying, the less popular titles. I can remember SF Ex plus Alpha, Blazblue, Tatsunoko Versus Capcom, Third Strike (Not online edition) Super Turbo, HD Remix, Tekken and many others. Usually it was 4/5 completely different games every tournament.

As a professional pot monster, I'm perfectly happy to enter every game for a €1 each/€5 total, and get completely blown up.

I imagine this is true of most people, especially when we had something like a 25 man Tekken, in which there was not a single actual Tekken player :pac:

I'm gonna add in my vote for SCV as well. It would in fact be the only game on the list I'd be interested in actively playing and I'd love to get some proper offline games in it and would be willing to travel for just that.

As for the console format, would anyone greatly object to having all the games on the Xbox 360?

If Tekken is picked, it has a lot of PS3 pad players (one particular name comes to mind) so I think going 360 on Tekken would be a mistake.

Yeah, the prize money will be all the money left over after the console rental costs. I haven't decided on how it'll be split among the winners, I dunno what suits best :pac:. Depends on how much money is left anyway, but it's more about promoting the games rather than the cash anyway

I was thinking of having older games like A2/A3, ST and few others but I thought it'd be better to keep it within current gen (Maybe another time)

I will keep that in mind if Tekken wins. Thanks

You gotta do the optional install on PS3 though, loading times are a bitch.

If you're running it, you can do whatever you like

I'll show up regardless

Do Smash Bros Melee!

Just noticed this a while ago. Sounds like a fantastic idea, I'd be happy to play any of those games for that price. Bear in mind though, the xgc is pricey when running tournaments...

I got it sorted out

3 setups at 2.50 an hour (I hope) for about 6-7 hours should work out at about 45-50 euros

So at least 10 people who enters 1 game will cover the costs.

If it gets a bit hectic with more people turning up and time constraints, then I'll get another console out but I would prefer to keep it to 3 setups

chopperbyrne

You will almost certainly need more than three setups if a decent number of people show up.

Probably but we'll see on the day

Not just probably, 3 tournaments on 3 machines- never going to work.

OriginalRazer

I'll show up to any Tournament with MK.

Don't see why T6 is there. Don't get me wrong I love the series... but its old as **** and players didn't wanna show up.

I love SC so Id say SCV over T6 until TTT2 hits consoles.

Just picked up SGs last night, pretty fun.
(Also picked up VF4:E in anticipation for VF5:FS )

Iv never played BB so I can't comment on the game.

I play mostly every thing on pad as my stick is just PS3 also so 360s would be a problem for me

You all know what I voted for, hope its there.

All the best,
RAZER

Not trying to single you out here, but PS3>360 converters are quite cheap and considering most of our tournaments are held on 360* it makes sense for PS3 pad players to buy converters if you're going to tournaments.





*MK isn't for DLC reasons.

Doctor DooM

Also the courtesy considering most of the stick players on our scene go out of the way to dual mod (which is more expensive and difficult than simply buying a wee converter).

I was only expecting about 10 or slightly more people to attend as I assumed there wasn't gonna be much interest in this so I went with 3 in the start but I guess you're right, will have to do more setups

I forgot to set a closing date on the poll

I'll stop the poll on Monday the 7th, and top 2 games will be the other 2 games at the tourney.

If you want your game to be at it, get voting!

Fergus_

Ok, the results are in (:pac:)

KoF, SCV and Skullgirls will be at the tournament

I don't mind casuals at the tournament, y'all can go on the other side or something

With respect, Fergus, IIRC, there was a bit of a sh!tstorm last year when people played SF4 casuals at the same time an MK9 tourney was being held. I would frown upon it if I were you.

Well, i know myself, Philipino Bob and bigstupidguy would be interested in playing T6.
Could get a few more if things are decided early and people can book off work etc.

360 or PS is fine, so long as i can borrow someones stick on the day!

Fergus_

Oh yeah I forgot.

Does anyone use any of the DLC characters for KoF? If you do, please bring in a USB stick with them on it, and could anyone with KoF bring in a save on a stick for Saiki/Billy

Same goes for SCV unlockable characters
