FFA BlazBlue & Melty Blood Bi-Weeklies - (Granada Hills, CA)
« on: August 26, 2009, 11:49:13 PM »
FFA is running BB & MBAA bi-weeklies!

You heard right, Melty Blood: Actress Again tournaments once a fortnight!
Thanks to the console release of MBAA, we will be running these tournaments on PS2s (Bring your own controllers!)

There is a similar thread discussion posted on dustloop.com

Location:
Family Fun Arcade
10363 Balboa Blvd.
Granada Hills, CA 91344
(818) 360-0419

Next tourney up!

Sunday, November 8th:

BlazBlue, Melty Blood, Guilty Gear and Twinkle Star Sprites:
MBAA: 1PM $3 per person
GGAC: 1PM $1 per person
BB: 5PM $5 per person
TSS: 5PM $1 per person

Rules:
MBAA:
2/3 Matches Double Elim
This will take place on PS2s so be ready to bring your own controllers.
Console exclusive characters will be allowed with the exception of Archetype: Earth.
The game setting will be Original type.
Character counter-picks are allowed on loss.
Switching moon types is allowed each match.

GGAC:
2/3 Matches Double Elim
Arcade cabinet only.
The cabinet has PS2 ports set for default PS2 controls ( □ = Punch; X = Kick; Δ = Slash; O = H-Slash; R1 = Dust)
Character counter-picks are allowed on loss.
Bring your quarters for the machine, it won't be on free-play, so FFA won't take any cut.

BB:
2/3 Matches Double Elim
This will take place on the arcade cabinet and PS3s (if we have a large amount of entrants). Be prepared to bring your own PS3 controller.
For PS3 matches, the game must be set to Arcade mode, so no extra Astral Heats for other characters or awesome Bang install music.
Character counter-picks are allowed on loss.
If you would prefer to play/not play on a PS3 let me know and I'll make sure you play on arcade/PS3 only (as much as possible).
Please bring your own joysticks for the PS3 setup! I have one to lend out, but not two.

TSS:
2/3 Matches Double Elim
This will be on the MAME 1000 games in 1 machine. This means that lag will be different than the original version.
All characters including secret characters are allowed.
Bring quarters!

If you have any questions let me know, I'll try and answer them.

See you there!

I would come down for these events if you weren't holding people back.  Next arcade revision is almost certainly going to include the new balance and characters, so why restrict it?  Isn't it proper to keep with the most current?  =\

If you're planning for these tournaments to be arcade-based, then that means you would have to change the game balance to Arcade. Though I can't say this with absolute certainty, I have a hunch that the majority of the players who have MBAA have been playing on Original balance because those same people probably never got to play the original ver.A arcade release. I don't exactly see any point in banning the console characters (except Archetype Earth, she has like 3-4 infinites or something) and the game is still very new. I think it would be a good idea to allow them and if it's very clear that they ruin the game, then go ahead and ban them. Otherwise, I think it's still too early to tell for the other characters.

^ This is basically my point.  The new balance is the current standard.  The new characters don't have anything broken with the exception of Type Earth.  Don't restrict pointless things or you'll just be isolating yourself from the rest of the scene.

Wasn't it already proven that the PS2 ver's arcade balance mode isn't fully accurate to the arcade ver anyway?

I wouldn't mind allowing console characters other than Archetype Earth.

Hi, I can only guess you're very inexperienced with how the MBAA community is running right now. Every tournament that has MBAA as an official game is running Original Mode, with all character minus Arc:earth being playable. The original mode will be the basis for the next arcade version, and the console characters are being allowed everywhere else (NEC, FR) by not allowing these characters you are hindering people who travel match up experience in a tournament setting. Not even 25% of the community for MBAA has probably even spent enough time on the arcade version to really tell the difference, or even give a hoot about arcade mode or not. This guy probably doesn't even care about the Melty community, based on his post count, and lack of a response in 6 days. If people actually want it to be ran properly, I'd suggest taking it upon themselves to run it.

p.s. If you want to run tourneys for games you're not familiar with, do research first, or ask for suggestions instead of blindly putting rules out.

Hey, sorry I haven't replied to any of you. Been crazy busy over the last week.

Yeah I am new to the MBAA scene (but I'm not new to the MBAC scene). I wasn't aware that the new version of MBAA will have the console characters and rebalancing fixes. Typically for most fighting games when new characters are added for console only those characters are banned, not because they're unbalanced, but just because they're not on arcade. For example, Guilty Gear tournaments have (typically) never allowed any EX characters to be playable in tournaments even though they are balanced.

BlazBlue is seeing this problem as well. There's new moves that are not allowed in tournaments because they aren't in the arcade mode yet. There's an option to play arcade style in the console version so that is always set.

For just about every fighting game I've seen, console exclusive characters have been banned (If there's an arcade version of the game to go along with it). KoFXI, SS6, SFa3G, GGXX, features in MvC2, the list goes on. SBO won't even allow anything console (because they run everything on arcade). But, things have been changing recently, SF4 console exclusive characters are allowed in EVO, and KoFXII console characters are allowed in tournaments too.

If most tournaments are allowing the new characters and team-ups, and the new version of MBAA will have this stuff, I see no reason to ban those characters, or stick to arcade style on console. If the above is true in your posts (which I'll assume it is) then I'll allow the other characters from console.

I'm not the badguy =P, I love Melty Blood (but I honestly won't be getting MBAA until tomorrow), I had just figured the rules for MBAA would have been the same for every other fighting game down the line so I didn't bother with research on it. I'm always open to criticism, so feel free to let me have it.

Well, considering there's only been 2 or 3 accessible MBAA cabs in the entirety of the US, not many have actually had access to the arcade version to begin with.  After talking with a good amount of socal in IRC, they all agreed that the only thing banned should be Type Earth. 

I'm glad you're willing to change to keep up with our current standard.  I'll admit, I was weary at first that you didn't really care about melty and were mainly running the tourneys for BB.  I'm glad to see that my suspicions were unwarranted.  I look forward to making it to one of your tournaments sometime in the next month or two (I'm a vegas local).

Yeah, if that's considered the standard, then we'll run it with console characters on original mode.

Like I said, I didn't even consider researching it because I thought it would be obvious that console characters would be banned. I was wrong and got flak for it >.<

The biggest reason why I'm doing MBAA bi-weeklies is to get more people into the game. I've been one of the top MBAC players at the arcade, but too few people were interested in the game. Now that MBAA is out on console I wanted to bump publicity for it so we can get more competition.

The first post has been updated with the new info for the next tournament.

If there's something wrong with the rules let me know so I can change them  :prinny:

I will be too. Plus a bunch of casual players at FFA (who don't post here >.<). Namely I'm expecting, Soniti, Rex, Kro and Shin ATproof. I don't expect the turn-out to be more than the BB tournament, but it shouldn't be disappointing competition.

Mizuki, you need to work on your delivery.

There were plenty of ways for you to tell Nathan what was wrong without being an asshole.

Good Sport Award: Render

28 entrants, wow! Great matches to everyone I played. I know things got kind of hectic running two stations at once, but I think it turned out pretty well. I wasn't able to get a match count to let you know how well people won this time because I had to watch two stations at once.

Congrats on getting 3rd place Blue G., I always knew you'd do well if you entered.

Grats Mike Z. It felt like you were the underdog this tournament even though you always win. There's just something so right watching a Tager beat a crazy good Nu player.

For the first time in like 5 months we have another Carl player other than me! Sonic took out a bunch of players in the casuals, but lost early in the tournament. The two players he fought against were very used to fighting Carl in casuals, so that's probably what did him in. I hope to see you next tournament Sonic, you're a really good Carl player.

Holy cow Shin, when did you get so good with Haku-Men? I used to beat you all the time! Congrats on 6th place.

Tronzilla, that was a sick match between us. We must have timed out 3 times. For those of you who missed it, Tron and I were 1/1 on rounds and the time went out. We both had what looked like exactly the same amount of health, and we both held our breaths. Then I did my win pose >.<... Madness!

A whole lot of new faces today. Hopefully you guys stop by more during the week for casuals.

Melty Blood:
1st: Xie [C-Mech Hisui]
2nd: H-F Blade [c-Ciel/F-Ryougi/H-Riesbyfe] (lost to Xie in Winner's finals 1/2, beat Xie Set 1 2/1, lost Set 2 1/2]
3rd: Numakie [C-Hisui] (lost to H-F Blade 0/2; lost to H-F Blade 0/2)
4th: Id [C-Ciel] (lost to Soniti 0/2; lost to Numekie 0/2)
6th: Wicked Element [C-Miyako] (lost to Xie 0/2; lost to Id 0/2)
6th: Soniti [C-Akiha] (lost to H-F Blade 0/2; lost to Numekie 0/2)
8th: Ketuekigumi [C-Kouma] (lost to H-F Blade 0/2; lost to Id 1/2)
8th: Severin [H-Riesbyfe] (lost to Wicked E. 1/2; lost to Numekie 0/2)
12th: Oni [H-Roa/F-Ciel] (lost to DAN 1/2; lost to Ketue 0/2)
12th: Shin ATProof [C-Warachia/C-Aoko] (lost to Wicked E. 1/2; lost to Id 0/2)
12th: Tronzilla666 [C-Ryougi/C-Ciel] (lost to Id 0/2; lost to Severin 1/2)
12th: DAN [C-Red Arcuied/C-Kouma] (lost to Xie 0/2; lost to Numekie 0/2)

Great matches to everyone! Thanks H-F Blade for showing me some awesome Ciel combos, I'll have to practice them for the next tournament. AGnat, hopefully you can enter the next tournament, you're supposed to show us your awesome Neco-Arc Chaos skills!

DAN, I think you just got bad luck going against Xie then Numakie, in actuality you're probably better than I am (though I will admit I'm a bit rusty). Good luck in the next tournament.

Sorry for the lack of seeding during this tournament, next time that won't happen. I just seeded Xie because he was winning casuals against everybody and randomized everyone else. Next time Numakie and H-F Blade won't fight each other first match >.<

I wasn't expecting this big of a turn-out, to be honest. But the tournament was a blast, I had a lot of fun. I hope to see you guys again in two weeks. I'm really hoping that some of the BlazBlue guys start playing Melty Blood. I've already converted a few to the dark side  :V

Guilty Gear:
1st: Shin ATProof [Baiken]
2nd: Soniti [Testament/Jam/May] (lost to Shin 0/2; lost to Shin 1/2)
3rd: Almighty Gnat [Zappa/Robo-Ky] (lost to Shin 1/2; lost to Soniti 1/2)
4th: Tron [Faust] (lost to DAN 1/2; lost to Soniti 0/2)
6th: DAN [Johnny] (lost to Shin 0/2; lost to Soniti 1/2)
6th: Severin [Potemkin] (lost to AGnat 0/2; lost to Tron 0/2)
8th: Ketuekigami [Ky] (lost to AGnat 1/2; lost to Soniti 0/2)
8th: Id [Jam] (lost to Shin 0/2; lost to Tron 0/2)
9th: Oni [Chipp/Ky] (lost to Severin 1/2; lost to Soniti 1/2)

I suck at GG >.< You totally didn't deserve 9th place, Oni, but I guess the random.org gods smote you. I'll be practicing my Jam a bit for next tournament, I'm not horrible, but I'm not half as good as I am in BB or MB.
