If I was going I don't think I'd mind playing someone really good, I'd learn a lot more than playing against someone with the same pitiful skill base as me.
No joke there either, I find the genre interesting but impenetrable, to have a pro play a game or two, while the fights would be of a short duration it'd be informative
At my first meet up with the fighting game community I learned more about fighting games than I ever knew about them. It was an eye opener and they were more than happy to teach me.Perhaps the OP could have worded the conditions in more diplomatic way, but again, personally, I just read it as "this is going to be a night where we get together, have a few drinks, & play some games", as opposed to a full on tournament, & all that goes with them.
People who are good at games are perfectly capable of doing that as well though.

I know, I beat a room full of people, twice, at a beers. You remember don't you?
I just think all Bombidol was getting at, was just not wanting a full on tournament atmosphere. A few mates with drinks playing Mario kart atmosphere is more what he's getting at I think. By bringing the competitive sticks & rigs, it's getting away from that.0 -
I'm not really into fighters at all, but would love to see high score competitions in shmups/run n guns and the like. It's not something which really exists in Ireland to my knowledge at all. Nowhere near the level of Fighter meets anyway.
Edit; doesn't even have to be just high score, I'd also love to see 1cc attempt competitions too.
Obviously I prefer shmups to fighters too, although SF2 Turbo will always have a place in my heart, but I do like watching some of those Evo tournaments - I have no idea what the commentators are talking about half the time but I can still appreciate the immense practice and skill that's required to get that good. It's great to watch experts in any field imo.
Would be cool if shmups had more of a presence alright.Retr0gamer wrote: »People who are good at games are perfectly capable of doing that as well though.

Everyone remembers.

You'd be a rich man if you got paid everytime you had to repeat yourself.

If this was SF4 or some other popular game, I could understand if you want a "tournament" for a player's tertiary character, random select, or all-Dan.I know, I beat a room full of people, twice, at a beers. You remember don't you?

Or maybe Rose-Ball.
Or maybe what you're thinking of is what we "pro" players call a "casuals session" - no stakes other than pride, winner stays on until he wins 3, freeplay.
If you run a TOURNAMENT, which by its very definition is a competition, trying to exclude players because "they're better" just makes your tourney look like a sham.
And for the last time: we don't lug around rigs to play fighters! My Madcatz TE easily fits in my rucksack. My retro stick (Konami Hyper Stick for PS1) is smaller than an A4 book.
I'm not sure if you're confusing us with PC players, or arcade cab owners...0 -

I think someone forgot their Xanax. I'll make this real simple for you K.O.Kiki ok, I think this is more along the lines of what the OP had in mind:
As say compared to something like this:
That's all, nothing more to it. No need to get offended, no need to be on the defensive, nobody is saying you can't play, nobody is saying you're excluded, everyone is welcome. There was maybe cause for that earlier on, but the OP explained his stance & made it clear that come one come all. The fact this sh1te is still going on is frankly, embarrassing.0 -
If we had an event even 1% as large as Evo, I think Doom would have a heart attack...I think someone forgot their Xanax. I'll make this real simple for you K.O.Kiki ok, I think this is more along the lines of what the OP had in mind:

Ah, whatever. I was mildly interested, but now I'm 100% turned off from going.
Enjoy your... whatever you want to call it.0 -
