OverClocked ReMix King of Fighters Tournament

[Arek the Absolute]

The time has come fellas, cause it is tournament time!
Kamoh has helped me come up with the new formation for how the tournament is going to be played. We are no longer going to use the single elimination method.

Here is the setup of where people are placed and how the rules are. Kamoh spent a while making this, so pay attention:

You have two weeks to get your matches done.
Good luck fellas.



-----------

Welcome to the Overclocked Remix King of Fighters/Street Fighter Tournament thread! Here, we will be holding monthly tournaments from either King of Fighteers or Street Fighter, alternating between the two per month.

This month, we shall be playing King of Fighters 00, a nice game to start off our *hopefully* new monthly tradition.

We will be using an emulator called Kawaks (http://cps2shock.retrogames.com/download.html), a cps1/cps2 and neogeo emulator. It has its own netplay option that does not require lan, so we do not need to worry about using Hamatchi. You can use whichever server fits you best to play your matches on. East coast should use "anti3d", while the West coast should use "fragbox". These two are the best for both coasts, and should help to minimize desynching and ping issues.

Practice hard, and good luck!

Doulifee has kindly donated to us a nice banner:

Use it to spread the word!

[Arek the Absolute]

lol hemo wants sf in too, so why not

[Binjovi]

I may try my hand at this.

And since this is the best place to ask... Does anyone have the OCR4-tan image that Blackmyst drew? I guess I never saved it and it got lost on the internets. I'd like to use it as reference.

[Arek the Absolute]

With the minor responses, I am guessing that this isn't exactly something that ocr wants to compete in.
Eh, oh well....I will give this thread until Sunday, to let them college students have a chance to look at it.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

What the fuck is KoF?

[Necrotic]

I support the cause!

Even though I suck at KoF.


-Nick

EDIT: Also, maybe we should get a sigbanner or something to help the word spread. I have no idea how useful they are, but clicking one of them lead me to the Fan Art Competition.

[Arek the Absolute]

What the fuck is KoF?
Something you obviously would suck at :3
King of fighters, as I have said in the original post!.

[Blue Magic]

I wish I could give it a try, but I hate going through all the hassel trying to get the emulator and roms without going through hell.

Plus, ever since I download SP2 for Windows XP, my damn controllers cant work correctly.

[Broken]

Hey, if you guys get this set up and I'm not busy running or something, I'll throw down in some KOF goodness (even though I'm a Capcomphile myself.)
I was thinking of starting something like this myself, but I was afraid to because of the .....well.. dubious nature surrounding emulator based online tournaments.

BTW, which KOF are we thinking about. I'm all for 2000, or 98 "Slugfest"
and of course SFA is always good (if we change our minds)

[Arek the Absolute]

I am going to start this off either with 00 or 98, depending on the input. Those two are my favorites, at least compared to the ones sans xi.

[Axel B.]

Count me in! I always like some competition.

And I vote 98. I can play 2K but only if I practice a bit more :P

[Arek the Absolute]

Wow, the response to this is really lame. I KNOW there are people that would love to see how well they would do against others on either KoF or street fighter. This is amazing....
I am giving this a few days, and if nothing happens, I am starting this off anyways.
Hey...the wnba started with hardly any teams, and now it is pretty big. Guess it just takes time.

[Necrotic]

Put the banner in my sig... plus, made myself a new sig image. Hope it helps grab attention. ;)


-Nick

[Broken]

This post is basically just to make sure my new sig works, but...... also.... Why don't we all go post in a bunch of other threads now.

Well, actually, since I'm already wasting my time posting this.... why don't we start a guide for setting up for the tourney? Obviously not telling people where to access roms or anything, but where to get kawaks, and which version will be standard, and other things that may be important if someone plays KOF, but isn't very savy with emulation (or kaillera.) I know I'm not.

And where the hell is Eazy P? I'd expect his butt to be all over this thing.

[Arek the Absolute]

Word!
I will edit the first post sometime soon to put info on kawaks, and to be more descriptive on how tourny is going to be. Yay for people posting.

[ILLiterate]

EazyP is currently revisiting the World of Warcraft and being very very sleepy at the moment. But yeah I'm down, and I'll need 00' rom (not to mention I need to find the 00/01 pack for PS2, found 02/03 a while back)

I don't check OCR much more, it's pretty much all UM.O if anything

[Sega.]

Sounds like fun to me, though i suck at KOF, generally speaking.

00 and 98 seem like the best 2 to go for. Might need some help with kawaks though because i use Neorage right now.

[Jimmy Jazz]

I'd give it a try. I'd prefer '00 though.

[KeeganTheFox]

2000+ and MOTW get my votes!

[atmuh]

I'll play even though I never played.

[Doulifée]

I'll play even though I never played.

like woaa O_o ok i'll give it a try then :p i suck at fighting game, but it's for fun.

[Arek the Absolute]

updated first post
we need more people
i want this epic :D

[kamoh]

updated first post
we need more people
i want this epic :D

Chess League is dying...you're not going to get more epic than the OCRCL dying.

Put me in tentatively - I'll suck but I'll play (you know me I'd much rather be in charge of the damn thing).

[Sega.]

We may have a problem. Im not in the USA, so latency issues cant really be avoided..

[Arek the Absolute]

Doesn't matter that much. I just played some dude down in Germany, and his ping was 30 0_o

[Broken]

^ Nothing beats the uber-lag at the end of our little practice match, Arek.

[Sega.]

Anyone want to arrange some practice games in the next day or two?

[Arek the Absolute]

I am always game for some KoF or SF, so hit me up on aim :D

[Doulifée]

problem solved thanks to segeta. now i need training.

[Horseboy]

Hey, lemme in!
Edit: On second thought...I can't find the rom :/
Edit: On third thought, I just found it!

[Jimmy Jazz]

Hey, lemme in!
Edit: On second thought...I can't find the rom :/

I have multiple versions of the ROM, but none of them seem to work

[Horseboy]

Found it, dunno yet if it works though.
Edit: It does work, sign me up.
Edit: Oh god someone help me train =_=

[The Instrument of GAWD]

Hm, I'd be down for this if I knew how to work my Mame or Neo Rage properly... and wasn't on a dial-up. However, I'll support the cause by wearing the banner, that cool?

[Sega.]

a MAME version of the rom must be used for anyone having problems.

[Horseboy]

Oh man I can't even get past stage 3 =_=

[Broken]

That Zero is one mean son of a gun, let me tell you. He's banned BTW, haha.

[Arek the Absolute]

Zero is one of the most annoying bosses in KoF. Bitching about him is completely warranted and allowed in this thread.

[Sega.]

I just wimp out on zero and fire random projectiles... of course, I cant do that with Ryo...

Out of interest, what are people's common team?

Mine is the famous faces i suppose: King, Iori, Ryo and Kyo/Terry/Joe.

[Jimmy Jazz]

Mines is Terry, Iori and K

[Arek the Absolute]

Not going to say mine. You will have to wait for the tourny :D
Less than a week away fellas.

[Broken]

Good matches today, Sega. I think I need to learn how to use those special modes better (the attack and defence things.) As you showed me, they can be pretty deadly.

It was nice just shooting the breeze and talking about old 2d fighters, too. I might get back into Art of Fighting with the adivce you gave me.

[Sega.]

Sure, was fun, broken.

I'm not much of an expert but i can at least hold my own. I could show you more of art of fighting sometime later if you like... it IS hard though.

[Arek the Absolute]

Even on easy, AoF is insanely difficult.
Anyhow, tourny is almost here!

[Arek the Absolute]

Today is the last day for sign ups.

[Doulifée]

and i didn't found the time to even train :p. lol

[Arek the Absolute]

updated post
lets get this shiz started

[Horseboy]

so how do i find my opponents

[Jimmy Jazz]

so how do i find my opponents

By looking.

Anyway, I won't be able to play anyone 'till Thursday, I'm afraid.

[Sega.]

Ok guys, if you need to contact me use Seg3ta, my AIM account, or PM.

[Arek the Absolute]

Arek vs Sega 3-0
Good matches man. A lot were pretty close. Nice playin with ya :D

[Sega.]

5 rounds != win, sadly. Sad for me, anyway.

Good games Arek, was fun. Ill get you next time, Arek.... next tiiiiiiiime...
</inspector gadget>

[atmuh]

ok i just played this for the first time

you guys are gonna have fun playing against me

[Culturekoi]

If any of you guys are ready to contact me and take care of bidness, try my AIM, fiercekashikoi, in the evening, or send me a PM anytime. I'm ready when you are.

[Horseboy]

I have aim and msn, too. Get on.

[kamoh]

I've added all my opponents to my AIM list, and although I haven't been around ALL that much, only EasyP and Doulifee have shown up online.

I sent a PM to Axel B a few days ago and he has yet to respond - his AIM screen name is trash too, I believe.

[ILLiterate]

So I can't get KoF 00 or ANY new roms to work with kawaks for some reason...can someone upload their working copy and I'll see how that goes?

Also, stipulation, since this will be monthly, should it really be just KoF? How about others like Street Fighter? The Vs. Series?

[Broken]

I think the winner chooses the next game. So WHEN I WIN, I'm CHOOSING SFA3 AND FORCING DJP TO PLAY!!!!

lol j/k.

Except the part about forcing DJP to play.

[Horseboy]

none of my opponents have showed up yet either =/

[Sega.]

EazyP, are you using mame versions of roms? neorage versions wont work.

[Arek the Absolute]

So I can't get KoF 00 or ANY new roms to work with kawaks for some reason...can someone upload their working copy and I'll see how that goes?

I already said that this is going to be a monthly alternating tourny. The winner chooses what game next, but it can't be from the same series we just played.
It also sucks that you guys are having rom issues with kawaks. I have no idea why the one I sent you does not work. I will try sending you mine tonight again.

[kamoh]

I got it to work ONCE on my own (not in netplay). There are similar issues all around.

Is there another emulator that we could use that's actually adequate?

[Arek the Absolute]

I personally do not know of any. Anyone have any ideas?

[Arek the Absolute]

Arek vs Necrotic 3-1
Nice set of matches man.

[ILLiterate]

I got it to work, just needed the bios, which Axel B sent me

[kamoh]

wherrrre arrrre my opponnnnenntssss

[Culturekoi]

Oh man, I need help. I can't run netplay all of a sudden! It was working two days ago, I haven't done anything to mess with any configuration, although I DID defrag my computer. Think anything could have happened there? Anyone able to help me out here?

Cancel that order, it's working now. :)

[Broken]

Alright guys, I had a lot of crap to do this week, but as of now, I'm ready to play. I'll be on AIM for most of today. I'll PM you guys soon w/ contact info.

[Sega.]

Sega 3 - 0 Culturekoi.


Ggs man, you got it in you somewhere i know it ;)

[Arek the Absolute]

Arek vs CultureKoi : 3 - 1
Nice set of matches dude. You got game.

[Broken]

Broken vs. Keegan The Fox
3-0
We'll definitely have to play again sometime, man. You gotta show me your MOTW skills.

And for those of you having trouble w/ netplay. Put your zoom window to 100%, see if it turns on. Thats what I do when mine isn't working.

[ILLiterate]

1(.5) - 0 with Axel B.

I had to leave after I DESTROYED two of his characters with K'...let me just get that one, you weren't coming back :P

[Broken]

3-0 Broken vs. Atmuh.

3-0 Broken vs. Horse Boy.

You're pretty good, man. We'll have to play again sometime

[kamoh]

http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4593/ocrfgtkt7.png

Arek will likely be awarded 3rd seed.

[Arek the Absolute]

Stupid bye. I wanted first D:<

[Sega.]

Sega 3-0 Necrotic.

Ggs man.

[Axel B.]

1-2 Axel B. Vs. Eazy

You were saying? :D

[ILLiterate]

You're lucky Whip is AMAZINGLY SHIT TASTIC ONLINE

[Arek the Absolute]

1-2 Axel B. Vs. Eazy

You were saying? :D

You should reverse that

2-1 Axel b vs EasyP

Plus, yes, Whip is shittastic online.

[kamoh]

You should reverse that

2-1 Axel b vs EasyP

Plus, yes, Whip is shittastic online.

I don't understand any of this.

What the fuck is the final score?

[Arek the Absolute]

They settled early I guess. Call it 3-1 Axel.

[ILLiterate]

We didn't finish yet, that was just the score AS OF NOW

[Arek the Absolute]

jee....THEN FINISH

[ILLiterate]

Would if I had time to play, I'm way busy trying to get my school work and other things done (LIKE BUYING MY CUSTOM ARCADE STICK FOR PS2 :D)

[Culturekoi]

Culturekoi 3-0 Necrotic

Best matches I've had yet. Gotta play you again, man, you had me running scared for a while.

[Axel B.]

FINAL SCORE

Axel B. 3, Eazy P 1

Good games you. Keep practicing ;)

[ILLiterate]

Practicing 98' :P

Also turmoil. I've sent PMs to Bean & Douli and I haven't reached them. Kamoh can't get his online thing to work. Does this mean that Axel B. instantly wins our division?

[atmuh]

you guys should like pm me or aim or skype or SOMETHING so we can play

[kamoh]

Practicing 98' :P

Also turmoil. I've sent PMs to Bean & Douli and I haven't reached them. Kamoh can't get his online thing to work. Does this mean that Axel B. instantly wins our division?
Arek asked me to try and fix this divisional setup - I think that, at a certain point, we'll just have to have everyone who actually plays a game end up in the bracket. I really don't wanna mess with this too much because I'm kinda tired of doing that mid-tournament, and this is a good system - if people play and CAN play.

I'm not throwing in the towel on participation until closer to the deadline (which is like Wednesday or something) but I will self-bye if I can't get it to work...as well as bye over anyone who doesn't play.

[ILLiterate]

Sounds good, the big division for all

Also, next time, a few days before it starts we should also send PMs to confirm people will play

[Doulifée]

i said to Arek that i will not be able to participate. Sorry guys. i have some computer issue. so my few free time is used to backup everything. ;_; i'm currently using my old computer to have internet access.

[Horseboy]

I contacted Atma, the other guys went AWOL.

[kamoh]

I contacted Atma, the other guys went a wall.

http://www.worth1000.com/entries/70500/70579RwYV_w.jpg

[Horseboy]

I win against Atma 3-0.

[Broken]

I'm still trying to get in contact with The Almighty Tallest. Have you gotten your emulation problems fixed yet?

[atmuh]

i just wanna let you all know im really good at this

[kamoh]

I'm out as well - here's the updated standings

[Jimmy Jazz]

I'm still trying to get in contact with The Almighty Tallest. Have you gotten your emulation problems fixed yet?

No.

Still can't get it to work, even with BIOS. Ive tried CPS1 and CPS2 ROMS, and I can't get them to load either. Ive looked at a couple of tutorials and FAQ's as well, but Ive yet to find what the problem is.

[Broken]

i just wanna let you all know im really good at this

No, really, he is.
Consider Yourselves warned.

[ILLiterate]

No.

Ive looked at a couple of tutorials and FAQ's as well, but Ive yet to find what the problem is.Same, before in older versions I didn't need bios, now apparently I do need them AND more. WTF is happening with Kawaks...

[kamoh]

Aren't we supposed to be going to the bracket round now?

PLAY-IN
Sega vs. Horseboy

SEMIFINAL
Broken vs. Sega/Horseboy
Arek vs. EasyP

FINAL
Broken/Sega/Horseboy vs. Arek/EasyP

[ILLiterate]

Let us go for it, just gotta wait for Arek...

Also whoever wins, for the love of god pick SFA3

[Horseboy]

I won't, but then, I'm not going to win either :P

[Arek the Absolute]

Sorry guys. My laptop charger decided to stop working, so I couldn't get on the last couple of days.
Arek vs EasyP? cool with me

[Arek the Absolute]

Arek vs EasyP 2-3
I never lol'd so much during a match. We both sucked so bad.
Hurry up and win this so we can do SFA3 next.

[ILLiterate]

Lucky I have you that extra match after "OMFG I PICKED JOE D: START OVER" after the match is done

AND THEN YOU PLAYED AS JOE ON THE FINAL MATCH

Oh well, yeah we need some serious SFA3

[Arek the Absolute]

That wasn't a mis-pick that time, though joe is not that great in my hands. Shoulda stuck with Terry.
olol

[EpicPoster]

I hope by SFA3 you mean SFA2 or Super Turbo or something... :(

Regardless I will play whenever you guys start the next tournament.

[Arek the Absolute]

I hope by SFA3 you mean SFA2 or Super Turbo or something... :(

Regardless I will play whenever you guys start the next tournament.

olol
NO
But you are still welcome to play.

[ILLiterate]

I hope by SFA3 you mean SFA2 or Super Turbo or something... :(

Regardless I will play whenever you guys start the next tournament.winner picks, so maybe it will be SFA2 or Super Turbo, but I KNOES I will pick SFA3, and then we will challenge DJP and I will be like

http://ocremix.org/images/template/ocr4_mascot44.jpg
HAY U FEEL THE DAN HIBIKI OYAJI!!!

[EpicPoster]

Yeah, I'm guessing that it will probably be SFA3 so I shall have to learn some X-ism Dhalsim and keep it real.

[Arek the Absolute]

k so like hey you people finish your matches so someone wins and picks sfa3

[Unstable Hamster]

Heard about this from the clan OCR on skype, and I'm in. I'll have to brush up on my fighting skills though.

[atmuh]

so i just played some sfa3 oh god am i bad

im in if thats the next shindig

[Arek the Absolute]

Ok, I have not heard from anyone else, and easyp and I finished our match ages ago.
Winner goes to EasyP.
Disagree? Speak up then.
Starting new thread in 3 hours or so.
Thanks for participating guys. I hope the next one is big.

[ILLiterate]

Hold up hold up

While I do love winning, 3 hours isn't much time for EVERY ONE to speak, give it like a day or something

Also, we gotta make sure that people don't just drop out on it like last time

[Broken]

Alright, here's the deal. Horse-Boy is sick aparently, and I haven't heard from Sega in a whiles, so I was just going to wait for them, but....

I WAS trying to contact Eazy P the other day on Kawaks (you were on some random Texas server, right?).

I'm all in for a grand final w/ whomever, but if you guys just want to move on, that's fine too.

We were all going to pick SFA3 anyway......
Except Seg3ta, he was pulling for SFA2
and actually, I want to play WakuWaku7
but not really.

[Arek the Absolute]

Broken vs easyp then...
GO

[Arek the Absolute]

AND THE WINNER OF THE FIRST OCR ARCADE GAME TOURNAMENT IS:
EASYP
Good set guys, good set.


1. EasyP
2. Broken
3. Arek

And now, the next game!

STREET FIGHTER ALPHA 3!

See ya guys in the next thread : D

[ILLiterate]

Hmmm chicken
