Jesus fucking christ what a waste of money and time. Listen man, events like this are the prime obstacle a game like Melty Blood is facing. In case you aren't sure what I mean, otaku losers who don't play fighting games with no arcade of tournament experience trying to run events. The "ranbat" was 2 hours late, you had the wrong brackets, and didn't even have the fucking machine on event mode. I don't know what I was thinking driving an hour and a half out there, and then circling the parking lot for 20 minutes for a parking spot (although this wasn't under your control) but to have to put up with this half assed so called "ranbat" really rubs salt in the wound. Maybe if someone else takes these over I might consider it for now on, although that really depends on how everyone else from IF feels, and from what I could tell, its definitely not likely. Cheers to everyone who showed up to support, but fuck shitty events like that.

arly you are being to nice.
dont run or enter anymore tournaments.
who plans these kind of tournaments???
the answer is nobody.  get some experience from the arcade scene before you do such a thing.
just go back home and lock yourself in your room so noone has to see that fucking face of yours.
you might also want to cut yourself :emo:. i dont care where it is.  also you talk fuckin too much if we dont respond we dont care for what you say.  i wanna just tear out your vocal chords and set it aflame.
i dont even consider you otaku. you are way below more like mentally retarded.

in all seriousness... you wanted to start a tourny.. knowing that you had no experience what so ever and you didnt bother asking anyone beforehand how to run one.. youre getting ripped apart here, so i wont add on to it.. but id have to say hold off on trying to run any tournys, cuz you lost all credibility with the community.  ill just end it there.  dont cry, people make mistakes.

I'm happy to have met new players especially the Interface people, and to match faces with names. And its cool to play people who speak English ^_^

I would love to take a crack at hosting a melty blood tournament, but my new nursing classes start next week and i have absolutely NO IDEA what kind of workload i'll be facing, therefore the amount of freetime i get is in the air. As for personal growth, i'm willing to take out 3s time to learn more MB.

oh and i forgot to pay my entry fee for tonight's ranbat. =p
: Re: MBAC ver.B Ranbats at AI in 3 weeks !!!!!!!!!!
: juniorSantos March 31, 2007, 10:56:40 PM
I drove an hour and half, got stuck in the parking lot for 40 minutes, and then waited 2 hours to get the tourney started..

like i said to you Tshkn before we left, no disrespect, but make sure you know how to run a tournament when people are gonna drive an hour and a half to support it.

p.s. i dunno how much more otakuness i could handle in the melty blood scene..

should have known after friday night, when i had to breathe through my mouth the whole time at the MB cabinet.  the guy wore the same otaku marker shirt today. and i also don't give a FUCK about the kingdom hearts trailer.

in any case, i hope this doesn't hurt the very fledgling ai MB scene.

yea that comment was vague but the one before it was saying who won?

it was supposed to be nobody won and everyone got their money back.

i went thinking it was gonna be a good experience, arly kinda insisted for me to go as well.
but when we got there it was definitely a huge disappointment.  we will drop by at AI from time to time, but not for tournaments run by you.  so just calm your retarded ass down and be a good little boy or else i might have to slap a bitch.

Gosh chill out. Just learn from your mistakes. Don't run anymore tournaments for awhile. Just play the game with people, that in itself is helping the community.

: hdphnz April 01, 2007, 01:53:44 PM
Well, it's not like there's anything inherently wrong with holding tournaments at AI but a couple of issues have to be addressed before someone steps up to the plate and goes along with this.

1. Different cabinet please. Preferably a head to head, but since I don't think that's feasible with the amount of room in there, a real showcase. Something big and wide so that I can fit my ass next to other people without elbowing them in the face. This is a personal gripe, but I'm not going to enter any tournaments down there when I know my execution will be skewed because the only way I'll fit is by facing the token machine.

2. Coordinate with the management. Not only do you need permission from the owner but a number of other things have to be taken care of. Fliers need to be put up so that the locals will know, and perhaps draw a number of people who don't even want to participate but want to watch. Sticks and buttons need to be in top condition on tournament day. Hell, if the machine can be moved for that one day to accommodate the larger number of people showing up that's way better.

3. Coordinate with the wider community. Always watch out for other tournaments occurring on the same day. I know it didn't happen this time, but since all the Interface players are also 3rd strike players, what if everyone had gone to the Cal Poly tournament? Three people would have shown up? Well, I guess it would have been easier to distribute the prize money.

Also, many of us have run tournaments before, large or small. If you're not completely sure of your plan, then talk it over with someone. I'm sure anyone who is driving out there already wouldn't mind helping to run it as long as they were asked in advance. Don't wait until gametime to start asking people. Five minutes of preparation can save hours of embarrassment.

That being said, I wouldn't mind going out to a properly run AI tournament nor would I mind helping run one. I think that with collaboration from everyone we can put aside yesterday's incident and move forward with the growth of the Arcade Infinity Melty Blood scene. After all, it'll still be a little while before FFA has Melty Blood Act Cadenza: Champion Edition Combat Evolved.

well put.  now after all the ranting i put you through last night was just how steamed i was.  i'm sorry and take some things back but it would be way better if you left it in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing.  i dont care if you hate me until i die just get things together and make sure everyone knows whats goin on.

Sticks and buttons need to be in top condition on tournament day. Hell, if the machine can be moved for that one day to accommodate the larger number of people showing up that's way better.

3. Coordinate with the wider community. Always watch out for other tournaments occurring on the same day. I know it didn't happen this time, but since all the Interface players are also 3rd strike players, what if everyone had gone to the Cal Poly tournament? Three people would have shown up? Well, I guess it would have been easier to distribute the prize money.

I'd run the next AI tournament, and there's plenty of things i could do different.

but

1. the owner doesn't like using h-2-h cabs cuz its mostly a waste of space. kof11 is the only one with h-2-h and i could try to have him change melty blood to that spot, but the vertical upright cabs that MB is currently on is an EDTV setup, and i'm not sure of the video signals are interchangable. and the kof setup is very old, while the upright is brand new. i have no qualms as it is currently, the setup is perfect to me. location has been changed though, it's now between the guitarfreaks and initial D.

2. & 3. Yes, sir.

Well, it's not like there's anything inherently wrong with holding tournaments at AI but a couple of issues have to be addressed before someone steps up to the plate and goes along with this.

1. Different cabinet please. Preferably a head to head, but since I don't think that's feasible with the amount of room in there, a real showcase. Something big and wide so that I can fit my ass next to other people without elbowing them in the face. This is a personal gripe, but I'm not going to enter any tournaments down there when I know my execution will be skewed because the only way I'll fit is by facing the token machine.

2. Coordinate with the management. Not only do you need permission from the owner but a number of other things have to be taken care of. Fliers need to be put up so that the locals will know, and perhaps draw a number of people who don't even want to participate but want to watch.

I know it didn't happen this time, but since all the Interface players are also 3rd strike players, what if everyone had gone to the Cal Poly tournament? Three people would have shown up? Well, I guess it would have been easier to distribute the prize money.

Also, many of us have run tournaments before, large or small. If you're not completely sure of your plan, then talk it over with someone. I'm sure anyone who is driving out there already wouldn't mind helping to run it as long as they were asked in advance. Don't wait until gametime to start asking people. Five minutes of preparation can save hours of embarrassment.

That being said, I wouldn't mind going out to a properly run AI tournament nor would I mind helping run one. I think that with collaboration from everyone we can put aside yesterday's incident and move forward with the growth of the Arcade Infinity Melty Blood scene. After all, it'll still be a little while before FFA has Champion Edition.

well put.  now after all the ranting i put you through last night was just how steamed i was.  i'm sorry and take some things back but it would be way better if you left it in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing.  i dont care if you hate me until i die just get things together and make sure everyone knows whats goin on.
im sorry dude i no how hard it is  for u to drive  all the way up there  and i dont hate give me an other try and i pormise it will be plan out better al have my friend help me next time  and have evey  thing ready  the mbac the brackets and player list  and  yaeh gas fn 3 something  tell tom if he give me an other  try i wont  fuck up again  thank  for help me dude

I guess I could try not being fat for the next tournament but we'll see what happens. Anyway, is it possible that you could get us a head to head setup just for tournament days? I think it'll be easier for everybody else since that's what we're used to.

Tshkn, it would be in your best interests to be quiet for a while. If you can't learn how to type in proper English, nobody will ever be able to take you seriously. In the meantime, I will not be endorsing any events run by you for at least six months until I've seen that you're competent at explaining how a tournament is run.

i wouldnt give another chance to run a tournament, at least not for a long time. You seriously need to consider that as an organizer people need to look to you for decisions. Standing by the stairs, asking random people walking by to "help you" by joining your tournament is not the way to do it. The fact that there was a wedding in the plaza was not under your control, but delaying it for 2 hours, is a stretch. I personally didn't want to wait for the machine to Game Over so i could pick my char so i just stuck with Hisui.

Also,
I don't think AI needs the approval of anyone whether or not we can have a Melty Blood tournament. But i think the general consensus is that- it should not be this guy (tshkn).

Ugh, you got me there.

Yeah, I wouldn't take it all personally buddy, it was just the long drive, the waiting for 2 hours, and the long drive home that got to us, so we were all a bit pissed off when we got back. It felt like you thought we came down to hang out instead of play.

I actually met this guy at person the night before while playing casuals at AI.  Even though I had an urge to go to the tourney at first, after meeting this guy I didn't want to any longer.

A) He wouldn't shut the hell up, and was going up to random people who were not even there to play MB, but simply wanted some change from the token machine next to the MB machine.  We got bombarded with random shit:

Him: OMG you know I'm running a ranbat tourney tomorrow right? For melty blood.
Me: I knew about it, you're running it?
Him: Yea, omg i have a 64 man bracket, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna get that many people.
Me: Not sure...
Him: Did you watch that Kingdom Hearts special edition extended trailer of doom.
Me: I've never played Kingdom Hearts.
Him: Well, OMG like this and this happens, and then sora, and this and this happens.
Me: I don't know what you're talking about.
Him: Oh....well have you played the new first of the north star?? it's way better than the previous one and....
Me: *Interrupting* I've never played Fist of the north star.
Him: Oh...*blah blah blah*

So once you manage to evade this guy by hiding by one of your friends, he later proceeds to find you and follow you around and continue talking.  If you do evade him completely, he will go an pray on new comers to AI that clearly give a damn about what he's saying.  I heard him ask probably 6 people about the Kingdom Hearts thing....Sigh...Needless to say, that was a total turnoff to join a tourney this guy was running. :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck:

Anyways, I will more than likely make it to the IF tourney, even if it is just for casuals.  Looking forward to it.

Edit:

Fuck, I just realized I put an A) but not a B) or C)

B) That guy smelled like crap.

C) Fuck that guy.

D) Hi Scott and Leo.

Ok guys, stop ripping the guy a new one.

Get your shit together, because there's a good number of you in here who were looking foward to play the game, so talk to AI, set up shit for next time, and leave whatever his name is out of it. Get your scene going!

Also, a Hisui player?

I'm not the only one!

 >:D

Yeah definitely need more folks down at FFA for real; nobody plays it down there but me anyway :'( but at least I get to get use to playing with the sticks ;D
after reading what they posted i felt like crying  i was so mad at my self
<tshkn> maybe i should just kill my self now 4 fuckin up so bad  :'( 
that's true chibi and i'll take back what i said too. because running tourny's must be hard espically if it's the first time too. but ya, if you run another one i'll go because ai is koo and that's the thing close to me  ;D
