Duelist would be cool.
And just for lulz:
There's an XKCD for like everything.
You win for getting the reference. XKCD rules. The rest of you should feel bad for not reading it.
Anyway, in celebration of my 666th post
, I'll make an exception to my policy and consider accepting all MMs. 3D is annoying, but it's not like I only play Mario. Of course, I have a much better challenge than a standard MM in mind. I wanna know just how good you guys are at this game. Not just with a certain character or two with a given set of stages, but with the whole game. There's lots of ways to do this, but I think this is a good starting place to figure out some ground rules:
- best of five
- double blind first match, standard tournament rules
- second match switches p1 and p2 characters, same stage, same rules (take what you dish out)
- matches 3 and 4 are the same, but with all stages and a minimum of 10 items available
- match 5 is done by striking characters until only one remains (mirror match)
Chess boxing sounds fun, but I'd have a pretty good advantage. No offense, but y'all don't exactly strike me as the fighting type. Maybe just regular chess for kicks.
And M@V, don't take it so personally. I'm just being honest when I say that your tournaments drag on. It's like 10 hours or something for two tournaments. I know I'm exhausted when it's over, and you weren't exactly bouncing off the walls at the end of Hope 3 either. It's not a problem limited to your tournament, all the ones I've been to except the first two Otronicons share the same problem. Yes, things are a little disorganized at times, but there's no way to make that many pools and double elimination happen in less than a few hours no matter what you do.
Ask yourself honestly if you disagree with me, and if not, maybe consider switching things up. You've toyed with low tier tournaments before. Why not try something like having a bunch of cheaper single-elimination tournaments instead of one massive double elimination tournament? You could come up with different gimmicks (FFA, Falcon only, 3P CPU, coin lulz, etc). Keep everyone playing, make it exciting to watch and be part of. Or not. It's your event. I think it'd be a blast, though, and it'd really set HOPE apart from the other regional tourneys.
