Yeah, it's a side tournament -- what else did you expect? Yet, somehow, I can't seem to get away from this game. Maybe I just need to close the forum and open up chaoscancel.com instead (that's a joke).
I'm just starting this thread to get an idea of who here is going to Evo this year and would play in a side tournament. I was told by a few people last year that they were disappointed that there was no side tournament (?!), and I don't care if it's only 12 people. Furthermore, it's Evo -- who knows who would end up showing up (Go1 does play UMvC3...).
Tournament rules are going to be pretty standard:
- 1PM Signups, Saturday
- Standard double elimination bracket, $10 to enter, standardish prize split of 65%/25%/10%/can of Coco-Cola. I reserve the right to expand this (and shit my pants) if we have a LOT of entrants (80+), but I know that isn't happening.
- 2/3 rounds to win a game, 2/3 games to win a set. I'm tempted to make it 2/3 straight through WF/LF/GF.
- All characters are allowed.
- Either player may call for a double blind pick before game one; after game one the winner of the previous game is character locked (winner is still allowed to change their moon).
- Any tournament-regulation wired joystick and controller is allowed. Keyboard play is NOT allowed, unless you're crazy like Madscientist and wired up a keyboard to a PS2 PCB (then at that point it's a PS2 controller).
- No game-breaking glitches allowed (getting your ass beat by maids is NOT a game breaking glitch). This includes the infinite flight glitch with C/H-Archtype Earth! Do it and I'm beating you with a sack of potatoes.
- Shower and bathe before the tournament (I know you all are weeaboo as fuck but you don't have to smell it!).
You do
not need a spectator or player pass to enter any of the tournaments at
F-Evo except for the VF5:FS tournament -- and this is MB:CC, so you don't have to worry about that (unless you somehow managed to swap out Akira for
KokoroMiyako, and if that's the case
I want to live in your world).
I can bring an actual, proper setup that's as lag-free as you can get (as long as your stick/controller/converter isn't ass). I would strongly encourage other people to bring more setups; I don't want to be there forever (it IS Vegas, after all). I also need a couple of people to help me run this thing -- I'm tempted to snap-nominate Lolisauce, since he's from the area and he's a cool person, but still.
Post up if you're interested or you think it's time to move on and play with some goddamn gems.
