Road to Hype - Irish edition ;)

ayjayirl

randomselect.ie presents the Irish leg of the Road to Hype series leading up to Hypespotting 4 in association with VersusScotland. The Games being played are:

Ultra Streetfighter 4
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Smash Bros WiiU

Venue Entry €10
Tournament Entry €5

This year, Road To Hype tournaments will award seeding points to players who finish in the higher place positions, which will then be collated and used for the purposes of seeding in the main tournament draws at Hypespotting 4. The points will be awarded follows:

1st – 45
2nd – 20
3rd – 12
4th – 6
5th – 3
7th – 1

In addition there is free tournament (not event) entry to the winner/s of the Road To Hype tournament/s in the title/s they won.

Irish Passport Prizes (Incl our northern Ireland breathern)
We will be using this as a fund raiser to send players to Scotland for Hypespotting 4. We are aiming to be able to send the winners (highest placed community member) of each of the 3 games that are being run ( USF4, TTT2 & Smash Bros WiiU) AND an additional person drawn randomly from a hat/bowl/darkpitofdespair. This is all dependant on numbers of attendance as always.

First things first, make sure we have enough working setups for Tekken so that it doesn't run for 29 hours.

Same for Smash, how many Wii U owners do we have?

ayjayirl

Thanks for your contribution. I will

Owwmykneecap

Is it €5 per tournament or 5 for all?

Updated ruleset for Smash.

Ruleset for Smash. These are the ones from Hypespotting for RTH events:
SSB – Wii U
Best of 3
Double Elimination

Stage Settings
Neutral stages: Battlefield, Final Destination, Smashville
Counterpick: Delfino Plaza, Halberd, Lylat Cruise, Town & City
Banned: Everything else
Stage Picks
1. Players play Rock Paper Scissors
1.1 Loser strikes a neutral stage off
1.2 Winner picks one of the two remaining stages for round 1
2. When a round finishes, counterpicking occurs
2.1 Winner from first round bans 2 stages (can be any within neutral and/or counterpick) from getting picked next round
2.2 Loser picks stage from either neutral or counterpick
2.2.1 If Loser picks Final Destination they can choose whatever Omega Formed stage they want
2.2.2 If Final Destination is already banned from counterpick by winner then Loser CANNOT pick an Omega Formed stage.
2.3 Winner chooses character
2.4 Loser chooses character
Repeat step 2 if needed until there is a winner

‘Dave’s Rule’ - you cannot chose a stage you have already won on
Timeouts – if the timer runs down to zero the player with the highest number of stocks wins. If stocks are tied, the player with the lowest % wins.
Suicide kill rules

Some suicide kills result in a sudden death, however this is rare and only on certain stages. If this occurs please refer here to see who the winner should have been for the respective suicide character:
Kirby, Dedede, Boswer: lose
Ganon: Win

In case you haven't heard... bomberman tournament, lads!

Nutrient

Can we try have player cams for the event?

Noticed watching older Baa fights events that we are missing a decent view of the players/venue.

Really show people watching online the size these events can be.

chopperbyrne

This should be a much better time of the year for attendance than Baa Fights II too.

Any word on number of Tekken/Smash setups yet?

I should be able to make this, but there's a lot going on at the moment which could easily prevent me from making it.

Its in hand. Plenty of word as you put it with the people involved.

@Nutrient - If its possible, we can but camera's and USB bus speeds can affect what can be used. I encourage people to being cameras and take pictures. That used to happen, not so much anymore

Doctor DooM

I'll have a player cam, conditions in the woolshed are not great for the use of one without blinding the players though

Sh4rin

Hi guys! This may be a silly question but regarding the "Irish Passport Prizes" means only irish can enter the tournament?

Not stupid at all. That 'clause' is there cause we want to use this event to fund sending people to Hypespotting representing the IFGC. It was inserted to cater for players coming over for the event only, ie. if Problem X came over from England for the seed points, then we would not fund his flights & accommodation. - Hence the Passport rule. In your case you are here, you attend our events and support our endeavours so it would not apply to you although the prize is a return flight from Dublin - not Madrid

Nutrient

To the Smash winner goes the spoils.
1st place for smash will get this Pokemon err Marvel collaborative T-Shirt courtesy of myself.




Comes in Large or not at all sizes.

This is on Saturday. Just a little bump/promo. If possible, it would help if everyone can register for their game this week beforehand - you'd be helping us out.

Pre seed arrangements Nutrient so you'll survive the first round now

ayjayirl

If anyone is coming to the RTH on Sat it would be really helpful if you could pre reg on the links below for the games you want to enter.

USF4 - http://bit.ly/1vAbgX0
TTT2 - http://bit.ly/1M6165t
Smash - http://bit.ly/1A5vGJe

It will enable us determine setup configurations and amount of consoles etc

Just going to quote myself.

If anyone is bringing a 360, make sure the games load properly when offline.

If they don't, go into account settings and do a license transfer.

Once complete choose to download everything from your download history (not a full download, just gets a fresh license and takes a second)

No chance. Only those that attend can avail.

Personally I'd love to see you get bodied so its a pity you can't come

Did you ever say something with such uncertainty that you must caveat it.

We are grand so long as everyone who has promised does so..... which to be fair, they should do.
