So yeah, sick of being a side event? An afterthought? Subject to dumbass seeding playing the guy who lives 2 blocks away first round? Fuck that shit, me and Biscuits are taking over.
This tournament WILL NOT be run using Tonamento.
Because we are using competent software that doesn’t depend on an internet connection, in the unlikely event a mistake is made, we can fix it.
You will also NOT play your friend in the first round, because if our random seeding does this, we can fix it. However as larger tournaments happen, this is becoming beyond our greater control, but we are striving to do our best.
This tournament is NOT a side event to SSFIV. This community (ANIME) is the top priority, and the only community that is attending. Thus, this tournament will be run as efficiently as our resources allow.
And for the love of god, and me, report your matches AS SOON AS THEY ARE FINISHED.
Games:
MBAA 2v2 starts at 2:00 ($5 per person, $10 total) (PS2)
BBCS 2v2 starts at 3:00 ($5 per person, $10 total) (PS3)
GGXXAC 2v2 starts at 5:00 ($5 per person, $10 total) (PS2)
The reason for the times:
GG is generally considered the main event. MB is on the same console, thus it gets the early start so it can be done by GG hopefully.
In addition Venue fee $7 – goes to Gamepad to hosting, and to compensate Sp00ky's ride, labor and equipment expenses. TO’s are volunteering. Pre-tournament and on TVs that aren't being used for the tournament casuals are cool. Just pay venue fee to do so. Venue opens at 12.
Supplying extra copies of the games is cheap and effortless, and helps these tournaments so much, Game Pad has the consoles and TVs we need, though more are appreciated, especially if you play DLC characters.
On the other hand, we do NEED a modded PS2 for MBAA. Preferably THREE to run tournament efficiently. This is because I can't carry mine between my laptop that runs the tournament, and my stick that gets more action than your mom. Three MB PS2's is idea to get things efficiently done so the next game doesn't need to be on hold for the stream holding things up.
Gamepad has house sticks, don't worry 360 players.
The planned layout of the tournament
Before the GG tourny, an alternative PS2 should have GG in order to allow players to warm up. After GG starts, you guys can play whatever.
Rules:
MBAA 2v2
2 out of 3 rounds.
The teams format is the same that SBO is using. “2v2 is done “waseda style”, meaning that each team’s person A plays, then regardless of the winner, each team’s person B plays. After that, both players on the same team won, that team advances, and the other team loses. If one player won on one team, and another won on the other team, then the two players who won fight each other, and the winner of that advances” - Heartnana
Double Elimination.
Characters used must be registered beforehand – no changing characters mid tournament.
The same character cannot be used by both teammates.
BBCS 2v2

Side tournaments can be for any damn no one plays games. Fate happened last time. Other great candidates include Jojo's, Vampire, and SamshoVspec. Just make sure I have things up and stable before you do so.
Streaming is again to be brought to you buy the legendary Team Sp00ky! The exposure and quality of his streams is enormously appreciated as is his dedication and hard work. Thus we added $2 the venue fee to show our appreciation and keep the stream as great as it can be.
We had a mind boggling turnout! Let's keep it up and show the world we're alive!
Will update with any new potential info as it comes. Meanwhile...
...Get fucking hype, and show everyone that people actually do play these games. Because if you don't, you may get replaced in 2011. See you there.
Melty community, god I was impressed to no end, keep it real.
