OCR FG 4: TMNT Tournament Fighters

[Arek the Absolute]

Hello and welcome to the 4th Overclocked Remix Fighting Game tournament. The name of the tournament has changed, and for a good reason. We no longer are going to limit this tournament just to arcade games. Fighting games from all systems that can be emulated are now available.
So welcome to the now newly named yet same old style thread for fighting action on ocr!

Selected by last tournaments winner, EpicPoster, this tournament shall be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters for the Super Nintendo.

In this tournament, we shall be doing the "round robin" format. Rules are simple for this. Matches are to be played under "hi-speed 1" and are to be 90 seconds long.
You will be playing best 3 out of 5.

We will be using ZSNES as the emulator of choice for this tournament. Along with the emulator, it is mandatory that you download Hamatchi, so it is needed to be able to "netplay".

Sign ups end April 28th and Round Robin ends May 2nd, so join in on the action!

Practice hard and "kick some shell"!

Whatever happened to "Day 14?"
If the deadline to signup is 14 days from now, when does RR end?

Oh, and btw, Epic declared HI-Speed 1 and 90 second rounds.

[Arek the Absolute]

hi-speed one?
the bastard

[Culturekoi]

TMNT? Hmmm... I might give it a shot. Cowabunga, dudes!

[Sega.]

This could be something where we all (cept Epic) have a level playing field. Sounds good, sign me up.

[kamoh]

I'm going to post standings a little differently, and I'm in the process of getting that done. Everything will LOOK different, but the whole system will be mathematically the same.

[Hemophiliac]

we're playing without Ratking and Ki-ari? right?

[Schwaltzvald]

I'd like to sign up :)!!

What's the prize to the winner of the whole tournament?

[Sega.]

Pride, and next pick :P

[Schwaltzvald]

Gundam Wing: Endless Duel if I win...

it's AI entertains me for only so long.... need... to... fight.... more difficult.... opponents... D:<

unless it has been done already... then I missed out...

[Arek the Absolute]

those guys are fucking rigged
of course we arent

[kamoh]

Oh.

everyone needs an AIM screen name.

That means you Schwaltzvald (Drack?)

[Schwaltzvald]

Oh shit I forgot I even had that AOL SN :lol:
man thats an old one. I actually go under the name "SGGambiani" these days.

Tried to go with drake before but sadly its common.. and I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE names or even using names that have numbers in them...

Ok get on AIM real quick there's one more thing...

[ILLiterate]

I'm in, for sure, duh

[kamoh]

Okay I just put everyone from last tournament in.
Atmuh said something about being really really pressed for time, so I will probably take him off the list.

There are two changes to the format. The effects are mostly visual.

1) Instead of "losses," the first tiebreaker is "games played." This changes nothing and is simply there for positive reinforcement and appearances.

2) Instead of "points," the second tiebreaker is "percentage." It is simply (fights won)/(fights won + fights lost). The numbers change slightly, to have a more balanced system - you no longer get points for "unplayed" fights. The effect is also mostly visual.

I don't think that we've ever gotten to the second tiebreaker to decide a playoff spot, so it's likely inconsequential.

I just got home from work so Im on now...

is it gonna be planned times..?

I ask because I work from 8am to 4:30 pm and only get home till 6 or later daily, except for the weekends as I am free on them... D:

hamachi network name: OCR FG Tournaments

see you on

also i beat Schwaltzvald 3-0

[dPaladin]

Oh god, now we're SNESing.

[Schwaltzvald]

Yeah I lost hard but it felt good. For once it felt like a challenge. Man the games ai's weak and it left me unprepared; for that game at least.

[Broken]

^ AI is like that in almost every video game. Humans on the whole are much smarter players than a CPU ever could be. That's why fighitng games are best against other people.

And, I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out of this particular tournament because of school work and life and such. I'll probably be around on certain weekends for casuals if I decide to find this game, however.

Since I'll be scarce in the near future I'll just take this time to say I've had a blast playing you all in various games. There's nothing like coming together with like-minded people and enjoying a good fighting game. Have fun in my absence

Where do you live, btw? This isn't a big issue but when we use kawaks, this is important for choosing servers.

[Schwaltzvald]

East coast of the US

[Oddllama]

How do I go about unlocking other characters? Or are Rat King and Ki whatever the only unlockables?

Also - Why are Bebop and Rocksteady not playable? That is inexcusable.

[goldenkrnboi]

huh. tried out the game. not sure that i really like it or not.

we'll see.

[Axel B.]

As much as I would like to be in this tournament, I can't. I've got some stuff to take care of in terms of school. Gotta make these last two months count. Sorry folks D:

The bracket makes a perfect arrow right now, and it has two equa-disant points on either side of it, too. This must mean something.

It always does that.

[Sega.]

This must mean that brackets are symmetrical, Broken. Yes, It's that simple :P

[Broken]

Aw, You guys are no fun. I was hoping for another Free Mason conspiracy.

[kamoh]

Epic can't read this, but the other reason I want 8-man playoffs: I would have gotten a second chance.

Arek 3-2 kamoh in a VERY VERY tight match that went down to the wire - we even replayed the last round because there was a lag issue when we had 10% health left each.

Sorry guys, but I'm gonna have to drop from the tournaments. I'm goint to Vegas for my cousin's wedding, so I don't have much time to play.

Good luck EasyP (and krnboi from the SNES tourny) on your matches.

Earlier tonight, I spoke with Arek and proposed several format changes for FGT5 and beyond, to help move things along.
Arek was keen on a lot of these, and I think that the timeframes are very acceptable.
The key change is in the Finals: The bracket is replaced with a deadlined round-robin.
This keeps the tournament from stalling, and solves my "2nd place winner" problem.

OPEN ROUND:
Single Round-Robin.
Playing time will be 16~17 days.
Registration will end 72 hours before the playing deadline.

ADVANCING:
From the top of the table, the square root of twice the number of registered players will advance to the Final Round.

3 finalists = 5-6 players
4 finalists = 7-10 players
5 finalists = 11-15 players
6 finalists = 16-21 players
7 finalists = 22-28 players

FINAL ROUND:
Single Round-Robin (no longer a bracket).
Playing time will be 7 days.
First tiebreaker is Open Round Ranking.

POINTS:
I am considering several ideas for a points system, as well as implementing drawn matches as a way to shake up the table significantly. I haven't mentioned this to Arek or EasyP yet as I'm still trying to figure out how long it would take to work on certain games, but the impetus for this was when I played Arek - I swear neither of us would have gotten a 2-point lead on the other in the two matches we played, and I would have certainly taken the draws.

[Hemophiliac]

so have Epic and EazyP played yet?

i know Epic's banned, so could someone let me know what's up?
