Vel bringing home the bacon!

fluke?

One final duel remains, won't be setting any deadlines on this so find the time that's best suited for you both (Lisa and Velordrel) and may the strongest player win!

Imagine ending 2019 world's in 2023 without deadlines

if we doing rematches ill rematch cicada for 5m lmfao i played him within 5 minutes of waking up i wasnt even conscious

good job btw vel im glad you or lisa will win

It was 2:15 pm for you -.-

Has anyone ever thought of organizing a tournament like the rest of the fgc does where you play from a certain time to a certain time and the tournament is over in 1 weekend? Like you know with pools double elim and generally just a more reasonable timeframe than finishing the 2019 worlds in 2020...

It's also a lot better for spectators, it even means that there are spectators unlike here. It would be easy to set up a stream of it, it would be much more effective pr wise


I'm sure many people would even volunteer for commentary and as long as you some sort of prize pool of real money people will get up at weird times during the weekend to participate in the tourney.




You could even organize an invitational smash summit style for that




Don't get me wrong this is not a bad tournament, its how tb has always been but i think it's time for some change, at least to give it a go

Make a one week deadline for a whole event and watch how 70% of people can't find time for it. Go ahead

------------

Comment what? How people move joints? Game is not about a show, it's boring to watch from the side, if only you are not expirienced player.
How do you see those who dont understand anything in game watch Abd for example? It'll be boring af. And those who understands whats going on does not need any comments

Not a 1 week deadline I'm saying everything is happening in real time every pool has 1 room and then the bracket happens in another room, kind of like there is 1 setup per pool in smaller locals for fighting games and 1 setup for bracket. That way if you're there when it starts you'll be there till the end. Top 8 or top16 would be played on the next day.


Commentary is there to make spectators understand what is going on and the personality and chemistry of the commentators is what compensates for the wait times between turns. Then again this time provides more than enough time to explain what's happening, who's winning, what could happen etc.




I mean these tournaments are there to keep the community playing and get an increase in players anyways, so if that's the goal why not go all in and get real stakes and make it more enjoyable to follow.


Like rn for me as a tb player there is nothing i can enjoy about this tournament if I'm not playing, there are no vods no fixed schedules for matches no match analysis no streams no nothing all i have is the challonge bracket


And yeah not many people are gonna watch it but many more people are gonna be invested in it compared to the current format.


Btw just bc you understand what's going on that doesn't mean commentary doesn't make it better, not only does commentary give you a more nuanced perspective, not only does it teach you more about the game, the mod and the player, but it also just makes it more entertaining. Do you think people that watch football prefer to watch the matches wirh the tv on mute or what about other fighting games, do you think a tekken player doesn't understand what's going on when watching tournaments live?

It's not even that hard nor expensive to get it running:


You need: 1 person for the stream, 1 person for organizing and moderating the whole thing, 2 people for commentary that are available throughout the entire duration of the tournament (around 4 hours depending on the amount of players), enough money to attract people to join (like $20-$50 should be enough), maybe you can even have a $5 pot fee to enter the tournament, anywhere from 8 to 64 players who compete.


Every pool has a room top2 out of every pool get into bracket etc. Just copy that and the pool captains from other fgc tournaments.

I should be playing Lisa sometime next week.
