It is that time again. The holiday season is around, and what better way to celebrate it than with a holiday throw down!
The OCRemix Fighting Game tournament is back for a special holiday tournament.
In this tournament, we shall be doing the "round robin" format. Rules are simple for this. Default settings are mandatory.
Rules are a little different this time around. Estevao proposed a new scoring idea and I think that it is worth at least a try.
Each time you challenge an opponent, you are to play them three times, regardless of if you win the first two matches or not. Post the scores here and I shall keep tabs on how many matches you win. The top six people will then advance to the semi-finals where the top two get bi's while the bottom 4 will have to face each other in a best 3 out of 5 match style. The winners of those will face the top two, and those winners shall face each other in the finals.
As with all OCR FG tournaments, we will be using an emulator called Kawaks, 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. There is, however, a new twist this time around. EasyP (ILLiterate) and I have been testing out a P2P mod for Kawak's netplay, and it has been working beautifully. It really reduces the lag and makes it so that moves actually come out on time without you having to compensate for the delay. You can download the mod and find the tutorial on how to use it here.

RECORDING MATCHES: Before starting any match, click "record game". After the match is over, go to your kawaks folder and you should notice a new folder named records. Inside the folder houses a krec file, which is a recording of the matches you just played against your opponent. If you want to watch it, just back to kawaks and click "Start Neplay". Once the kaillera client opens up, click on the drop down and change it from "1. P2P" to "3. Playback". You should see your match against your opponent selectable. Click play and you are set!

Round Robin play ends January 14th. Round robin play may have started, but that doesn't mean that you still can't sign up! You can join in anytime before January 7th.
So come on and join in the brawl today! You know you want to be an OCRFGt.
