Arek the Absolute Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 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.

DjSammyG Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Check that. I'm having some trouble with the ROM. It's in 2 parts and I can't seem to get it to run when I consolidate. Tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Everyone that is having ROM troubles hit me up on AIM. I think I know why you guys are having some problems and can fix it pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using this p2p app in one nhl94 league for less than a week, and I'll sum it up here: Hamachi was never used for Kawaks, we always went through Kaillera. Hamachi was for SNES9x only. This new P2P app is nice in that it gives you the direct connection that you see in SNES9x, but the problem is that there's no IP decoying - those of you behind a tough firewall will probably prefer the "pick a server" route. I'm not sure if Hamachi would work properly in conjunction with this thing, but it's worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Basically, GGPO is betar,but I guess I still have Kawaks set up, so I'll try out this P2P stuff. And besides, Garou is lots of fun whether you've played fighting games before or not. It's HOTU TIME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arek the Absolute Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Considering that winter break is coming up, I might make round robin last 2 weeks longer so that people will have time to play while also being with their families. Ah, it is good to have this back up and runnin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Ah, this thread does bring me holiday cheer. Now I just need some free time so I can practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 For someone who hasn't played this game before, sammy put up a hell of a fucking fight. Can't wait to play him in an official match. This is going to be good times. Also, stop playing me in kof98 EasyP! We need to practice this cause it's throwin my garou groove off. EDIT: Just messed with the playback function the p2p mod has, and it works beautifully. It doesn't show what is said between the two people, but at least we can see how the matches go. 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! We can use this to show matches we had against others! This is awesome. Glad to know they added this feature in the mod. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zethzen Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I'm definatly interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamoh Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hey Arek, I'd feel more comfortable if it was just three straight (not best out of three). I've told most people that I have qualms about a "best-of" system in the first round, especially when points are the determinant factor. Um...that's really all I guess. EDIT: To those observing, I'm advocating more of a baseball-style approach to series, where three battles are played, and all three count equally. Arek's rule above is that if you win 2-0, it's over, but I will not play a point system again (see SFA3 tourney) where a sweep gets you an extra point, without actually earning the point.

Rad McRadderson Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 i heard not losing does wonders for points besides like all major fighting games tournies are best of three in the opening pools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamoh Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 i heard not losing does wonders for pointsbesides like all major fighting games tournies are best of three in the opening pools That's in bracket play, though. This isn't a bracket, it's to encourage people to play games. We don't do brackets-only because a tournament would never get done that way, we have too many flakes and people who SAY they're in and then go MIA for the rest of the tournament.

Arek the Absolute Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Still got to talk with estevao to get the scoreboard up. I might actually consider the 3 match thing he was saying. Sounds interesting. Extending tournament to the 14th to compensate for people on vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
