Fighting Game or Other Tournament...can we make a comeback?

[kamoh]

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).

i do remember but they also took forever so i say can we make it a one night thing and a requirement is that you join a particular irc channel so we can just do it without having to wait weeks

and yes sfa3 sounds like a good good good one

[kamoh]

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.

If it's street fighter then that's not a problem.

[Helmholz]

Street Fighter Alpha 2's preferable.

I also love NES Tecmo Super Bowl.

[IbanezNinja]

I rescind my original vote of SFA/KOF and instead join the Samsho boat, although I vote for SamSho 4 specifically.

[kamoh]

[Culturekoi]

So if we did the "do it all in one night" thing, would it be a weekend, and would it be set so that each person has a set match at a set time and not showing is a forfeit? Or is it like before where when you see someone online, you get a hold of 'em?

[kamoh]

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.

[Bleck]

I'm just going to pre-emptively give a big fuck you to anyone who is about to come here and go on a tirade about sfa2 being better than sfa3

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