When's Melty on Steam?
ahaha that's no--wait, what?

This event will take place on Saturday night after the Teams Events, probably in one of the primary hotel rooms for MB (unless BigE is trying to do something with this or we can get it on after the teams tourney). Keep your ears open as it will be on something of a hearsay basis of operation. I'll make an announcement at the end of the MB Teams tournament on what time/where specifically.
We are the three martial KING$ of $NJ$.
LORD KNIGHT, the undefeatable king
TONBERRY, the secret king
and GENERIC SUPERHERO, the psychic king
and we hereby invite you all. Prove that American Melty can defeat $NJ$. Prove that we are not the unbeatable KING$, that we cannot romp about using your bloody corpses as a fleshy red carpet. Prove that YOU are not just a plebeian, that you are worth at least a footnote!
We extend a challenge to the entire American MBAA scene to come beat us and prove that $NJ$ alone is not better than all of America. As it stands, we will declare that we are.
Throughout NEC, the $NJ$ vs America challenge will be held according to the following rules:
Team $NJ$ will consist of the three KING$. Each of us will donate 10$ to the pot. Anyone is welcome to challenge $NJ$, and the challenge event ends when there are no more available challengers or $NJ$ is beaten. Challengers will be accommodated within reason but have to actually come and play. We're not going to wait for you to come play three hours after the event because you're busy playing SSF4 and we're (probably) not going to take random single challenges at 2PM between tournaments.
There will be at most two sessions during which challenges will be taken (these will be streamed/recorded if possible); the time frame is yet to decided and will be flexible to accommodate players. During these time ranges $NJ$ will be available to take challengers. Obviously, it'd be more fun/easy/hype to consolidate all the challenges. The reason for the potential of two sessions is that the event will likely be unofficial and run in the rooms and we'd like everyone who wants to play to have a chance within their schedule limits. That's also the reason for the general flexibility of challenges. And although the challenge schedule is flexible, that's only in case you have a legitimate reason to make us wait. It's in your benefit to play us continuously to tire us out. Ideally, we'll just do this all at once with everyone there if people are able to.
Basically, this is a 3 vs America team tournament in Japanese single elimination style with a twist to America's benefit. The three $NJ$ KING$ will be a normal team with a Pokemon style lineup (we have a set order and you have to eliminate the current player in the lineup to get to the next one)
Each challenger donates 5$ to the pot. Each challenger plays a single game (two victories) in a Japanese style single elimination match against the current $NJ$ player ($NJ$ players will have a pokemon style lineup-you have to eliminate the current player to proceed to the next). If the challenger loses the match, he is eliminated from the challenge. If the challenger wins the match, the $NJ$ player is eliminated and the challenger proceeds to the next player in the lineup, just like in a normal teams tournament. Everybody has only one life: aka if you're eliminated once you're out of the event (including $NJ$).
Here's the twist:
Any rounds won against the current $NJ$ player will be tallied up. If an $NJ$ player loses 5 rounds total, he is eliminated even if he won all the games. If he loses his fifth round in the middle of a match, that match will be finished and if the $NJ$ player wins the match both players are eliminated. In summary, there are two ways for a $NJ$ player to be eliminated: he must either be beaten in a match or accumulate 5 lost rounds.
Challengers must be beaten in a match outright.
To reiterate: once an $NJ$ player is eliminated once, that's it for him.
This victory will not prove that $NJ$ is officially better than the rest of America; it will reaffirm it. This is your chance to disprove what now stands as fact.
Pot Split:
If $NJ$ wins by beating all challengers, we get the pot.
If the entire $NJ$ team is eliminated, the pot is split evenly between the challengers who won rounds against KING$ in proportion to how many rounds they won. Any challenger who actually wins a match against a $NJ$ player gets treated as though he won however many rounds the $NJ$ player still had in his stock. For example, if I have lost one round to someone and someone else beats me in a match, he gets a share of the pot for that accomplishment equivalent to having beaten me in 4 rounds. The guy who won the other round gets a share equivalent to having won 1 round. Likewise, if someone beats me in a match before I've lost any rounds, it's as if he's beaten me for 5 rounds. This cannot work against the challenge's favor- so if he beats me in a match when I've already lost 4 rounds before playing him, he still gets 2 rounds worth of pot share.
Sample Split:
Player A won 5 rounds
Player B won 5 rounds
Player C won 5 rounds:
they split the pot into thirds
any value of cents will be rounded up to the nearest dollar and covered by me personally
The pot will be 30$ to start from our donations. If 25 people challenge, the pot will be 155$, so a 1/3 split would be over 50$ to each challenger for a 5$ risk. If you were to win 1 round share out of 15 total, you'd be making back a little more than double your donation, and I hope around 25 will challenge. Anyway, it's more about the hype and pride points: the money is just to keep things serious and add to the fire. You only win money if AMERICA BEATS $NJ$ so get hype for your teammates
Please pre register here so we can get an idea of who will be playing, and PM me if you have special time requirements (ie: leaving the tourney at night, only coming for a day, etc)
If there are less than 10 challengers total, our round stocks get reduced to 3. Which still means each of you has to win a round. The more challengers, the better chances you have. If less than 10 players think they can random out a round on one of us, you've already told us that $NJ$ is invincible.
Challengers:

MD/VA
LPT/NE
Fox

Fox don't be a chibi. LPFree be ready to sleep on the floor. Get hype America, you'll need at least 15 to stand a good chance

Beating you guys in tournament is much more worthwhile though, this is barely passable as a circus act really.
Good luck getting anybody to participate~

Lets be negative!

Yeah kind of like those circus acts wherein a handsome and talented man does something incredible to the point that it is a spectacle. That kind of circus act. And it's not us who need the luck getting people to play, it's America. In conclusion, have you ever gotten top 8 in a tournament?
-
Lol. Is this really happening? Money is gonna cry out people's pockets.

Congrats man, I hope people line up around the block to play a guy who actually consistently places top 3, someone who usually manages to get into top 8, and the step brother of Doren who's only actually played in one tournament before.

NJ STEALING NJ'S MONEY?

damn sogos, you playin melty blood

NJ STEALING NJ'S MONEY?

This. I'm going in.
I'll leave it to the results to decide which part of NJ is stealing NJ's money. :teach:
To people wondering about the "catch" of this event, it's easy. $NJ$ has little to lose (except maybe a lot of pride when they get randomed out by me) and a lot to gain. The challengers have a little to lose and a little to gain. But no one really has a lot to lose and the risk (given certain west coast and NY players attend) is stocked against $NJ$. It's really harmless fun in my opinion. No reason not to take a shot at this. The only way it'll be a "steal" for $NJ$ is if good players choose not to participate. Remember, top 8 has 8 players in it. This is only 3. I'm game. The only way this could be bad is if Team America isn't really representative of America (for example, if players like Zar, HF-Blade, Yat, etc...) can't come out.
In my opinion change the entry fee name to "KING$ Taxes"

damn sogos, you playin melty blood

zzz
Actually I've played in two MB tournaments before. Get it straight Chibi. As for being the step brother of Doren, the king$ have the divine right to rule bestowed from God. Since da gawd is doren, obviously there has to be some sort of relation to him.
-
I'll probably "enter".
-
$10 Doren will flake out
-
I'll take a jab at beating ¢NJ¢ in the Tsukihime-airdashing anime fighter.

I will play.
put Generic on point so I can get warm.

You guys do know that this thread is a trap?
Besides, just because NJ has won most tournaments doesn't give it any right to be better than America. :toot:
-
just because NJ has proven itself again and again to be better than america doesn't give it any right to be better than america. :toot:
uhhh i got some bad news for you bro
-
I don't think Matt Coma wants to participate, he thought this was just dumb and silly.
-
:mystery:
if he thinks it's dumb he probably doesn't really understand it. if he thinks it's silly he's either painfully ignorant or fearfully aware of how good $NJ$ is
likely, it is a combination of the two

Whats going with this?

First post modified with the following information:
This event will take place on Saturday night after the Teams Events, probably in one of the primary hotel rooms for MB (unless BigE is trying to do something with this or we can get it on after the teams tourney). Keep your ears open as it will be on something of a hearsay basis of operation. I'll make an announcement at the end of the MB Teams tournament on what time/where specifically.
BigE: Was planning on this being an informal event. But if we can get it on the team tourney setups or something that would be great; it should be really fast paced and hype, probably taking like 2.5 hours max (possibly much less) on a single setup. It's gonna just be one game after another, no real breaks or prep. Anyway, it should definitely be streamed/recorded even if in the rooms.
