Sorry Hemo - scan the short thread!

Because there's 5 rounds?

Which rule though there's two of them there.

Hemo: You can't use the same character more than twice in a match. Traditionally, the player that WON the last fight should pick their character FIRST. However, since there is no winner before round 1, the player that is the host should pick first.

.....like?

Probably 99% of the people that I have on my buddy lists are NOT AOL subscribers. It's been around longer than everything but IRC and ICQ, and those two have been slow or unwieldy compared to AOL for their entire existence. 13 years of internet experience won't let you convince me otherwise.

You can try and convince people to use GGPO if you want, and play your own matches on GGPO - however, I spent some time with it, it wasn't unweildy but it also wasn't simple like I wanted. I couldn't get SFA3 to boot without spending another 30 minutes figuring it out, so I was like "wtf ever." Use MAME, use Final Burn, use whatever you want, I'm not picky. I don't even care if you change the rules I've set out, as long as it's mutually agreed. Bleck and Archaon: I decided on that rule because the same characters over and over again is boring. This adds some strategy and lets lower-strength players have at least a shot at victory. You will have to use at least two characters in a single match, but using your best for fights 1 and 2 puts you at a 2-0 advantage - almost insurmountable if you're good enough. If that's really gonna keep you out of playing, no more skin off my teeth. Worst thing that could happen is that nobody plays because you decided you didn't want to follow a single rule, and I change my mind about giving OCR another chance. And if you think AIM is terrible, go get version 4.8. Against every other messenger, it's the most popular, simplest, and doesn't leech your computer if you have an old one like me.

We have a couple previous results from the other thread - 3-1 darklink over me and 3-1 me over fiercekashikoi here are some AIM screen names to jot down: metzgerism fiercekashikoi darklink21 eazypinc1 tehsampsons18 ff3atmaweapon llama1125 nncdeathbox

EDIT: I've decided on a game: Street Fighter Alpha 3. The last time we did this game, it was a lot of fun, and I figure this is a great one to start with...however, the rules are going to be a little different, in order to make up for inequities in the last set of rules. To register, please list your AIM screen name in this thread - and contact another player to start playing. The League Phase is a round-robin - everyone who wishes to join the tournament will be included, but in order for your matches to count (for yourself or your opponents) you must play at least 3 opponents. During the League Phase, winning a match is everything, but the first tiebreaker is MOST losses - you will always be rewarded in some way for winning a match. The League Phase AND Registration will end on Sunday, October 5th @ 11:59 pm EDT. You may join the tournament on October 5th @ 11:00 pm, and if you play three matches in one hour then your games count. The Bracket Phase will consist of all players who won a certain given number of matches - at least 3 wins must be achieved, and you must be ranked better than at least half of your opponents...aside from that, I may limit the round more due to tournament size. The Winner Picks the Next Game (please refrain from a fighting game, but since this is the first time we're redoing this then maybe it's not a big issue). Match Format: All matches will have the same general format: Normal Speed 5 Rounds Slow Timer Low Damage Play until one player has won THREE fights - if there happens to be a tie, replay the fight (but two double K.O.'s in a battle are particularly unlikely). DO NOT USE ONE CHARACTER MORE THAN TWICE. If there is an issue regarding a player choosing a character in round 1, then the player hosting must choose first. USE KAWAKS 1.59 If you have problems finding the rom or getting hooked up, send me an AIM (metzgerism).

Alright, I'm starting it. You have 3.5 weeks from this moment. AIM screen names of the players so far: metzgerism fiercekashikoi nncdeathbox ff3atmaweapon thesampsons18 eazypinc ummm...who else?

I was at a football game this night (and had purchased FF8 earlier in the day).

It's starting to look that way - I've been downloading emulators and I am not pleased with any of them yet.

Twice is probably good - I know that I'm going to have issues fighting as not Ken, but so is everyone else.Round-Robin can be done far more quickly, actually - no stalling, waiting for a round to end - and I can have people join in at anytime before the deadline.

Nobody will because nobody is willing to lose Ken's forward roundhouse.

I'm waiting for hockey season.

Alright, so I think we'll start out with Street Fighter Alpha 3. Last time we did it, we used Turbo 2 - a little too fast, especially for connection speeds. Plus, I don't want two players who are significantly better than the field being given the distinct advantage of playing against opposition that is subjected to a level of play higher than themselves. So, I'm thinking best 3/5's in both matches and rounds, and to mix it up more, maybe you can't use the same character more than once or twice. I'm open for suggestions.

NON POPULAR. Besides, most compo admins ignore it anyways.

So what's the second largest. Cause according to wikipedia the largest was my #1 choice. Was #2 my #2 choice? I THINK MAYBE. or maybe not. LA is hueg.

Advance wars would take too long and I hated doing bomberman when we tried it Also: http://www.ytmnd.com/keyword/Cockbee

Yeah well nobody else does so just join the Tecmo Player's Circuit and suffer your requisite 18 ass-whuppins http://www.sois.com/tpc/main.php VOICE VOTE YOUR CHOICE OF GAME I don't care I'd play anything but shit Mario Kart was fun. Hey guys...remember Cockbee? EDIT: Shit...um One vote for 2020 Super Baseball on the NEO-GEO or SNES.

If it's street fighter then that's not a problem.WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD, MEAT.

THAT'S TWO WHO ELSE if there's not 8 to start I'm not going to bother. Of course I'll keep registration open until the end of time.
