Teyah Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Okay so this being a ranbat and all, there should be points involved. Here's how it'll work: 1st - 9 pts 2nd - 7 pts 3rd - 5 pts 4th - 4 pts 5th - 3 pts 6th - 3 pts 7th - 2 pts 8th - 2 pts 9th+ - 1 pt (participation) Current standings: Results of GGXX #Reload on 08/16/2009 32-man bracket 1 Teyah (9 pts) 2 Scarecrow (7 pts) 3 tokie (5 pts) 4 Kharhaz (4 pts) 5 Rip2ya (3 pts) 5 BloodyRain (3 pts) 7 HUGOV (2 pts) 7 gymhe (2 pts) 9 Arvoyea (1 pt) ? 9 s0be (1 pt) :KY: 9 MrTopHat (1 pt) 9 Sol-Bumguy (1 pt) 13 0-4 (1 pt) ? 13 KayinN (1 pt) 13 Morrigan (1 pt) ? 13 Atomsk (1 pt) 17 Sanoshi (1 pt) 17 Hayato (1 pt) 17 Platfarmer (1 pt) 17 Lamebot (1 pt) 17 Orrax (1 pt) ? 17 Ky-Sama (1 pt) :KY: 17 Reppuken (1 pt) ? --------------------------------------------------------- With the Guilty Gear scene rapidly dying off in all parts of the world (except for maybe Japanese arcades), I've decided to begin a GG Ranking Battle (ranbat) season in an effort to spark some life into the online GG community. Since a lot of you probably don't know what a ranking battle (or ranbat for short) is, I've graciously stolen an explanation from the Norcal GG thread: What the shit is a ranbat? Short for Ranking Battle, a ranbat is basically like any other double elimination tournament, except that the top three players are given a certain amount of points (in the case of these ranbats, 4/2/1 respectively). If you place in the top three, you're seeded for the next tournament (meaning you don't play in the qualifing round) and at the end of the season (usually four to six months) the person with the most points are given, um.... a well deserved sense of accomplishment. Here are the preliminary rules I've got in mind. Games: GGXX #Reload PC, GGXX Slash Naomi, GGXX Accent Core Naomi, GGX Naomi Format: seeded Double Elimination, rounds set to 3 (not 5), best of 3 games per set. Best of 5 sets for Winners'/Losers'/Grand finals. If there are fewer than 8 entrants, tournament will be Round Robin. - Since this is mainly for fun / online play shouldn't be taken seriously, we'll be switching between games every few ranbats or so to keep things interesting. All of these games are playable on PC right now @ 60 fps via emulation, save for GGXX:AC since nobody has lent out the disc to the rom dumpers as of yet. Once emulated Naomi netplay hits (it's coming sooner than you think!) we'll be able to include games from the entire main GGX/GGXX series in these ranbats, and not just play only #Reload. - Separate ranbat tournaments for North America and Europe, due to inevitable lag issues. - Games will be played on Delay 4, but if you cannot connect to your opponent, games will be attempted on Delay 6. Yes that's right, Delay 6 will be used if necessary. - If you still can't connect to your opponent, swaps may attempt to be made between you and someone else in an equivalent or lower position on another side of the bracket. - Tournaments will be run over the course of like a week. So no worries about time constraints really, you should have plenty. And that's all I've got for now! Please post your comments/suggestions/reactions to this below. And don't forget to sign up if you're interested! You can either post here or contact me (Teyah) on IRC at #reloadonline on irc.chatspike.net. Hopefully I can get the first of these up and running in a few weeks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current signups list - North America (23 entrants) Teyah Atomsk Rip2ya tokie Reppuken KayinN 0-4 Orrax Hayato Sanoshi Platfarmer VR Arvoyea s0be Kharhaz HUGOV MrTopHat Scarecrow Lamebot gymhe BloodyRain Sol-Bumguy Ky-Sama Current signups list - Europe (8 entrants) Eiji freelander Nehle akabane_kurudo Anbicion skyrape Gief Europe Odin
Atomsk Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I'm in for #r NA as long as I don't have to play between the hours of 5 p.m. to 12 p.m. M-F east coast. Doubt I'll do very good but eh screw it why not.
san-tokie Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 can we add starcraft and team fortress 2 to the game list? edit: also vagina princess plz
freelander Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 lol starcraft Ok I sign up in both starcraft (terran) and ggxx#r (europe, sol)
Nehle Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Sign me up for reload europe, but I can't play anything between 8-24th of August, as I'm in Japan then Once emulated Naomi netplay hits (it's coming sooner than you think!) People have said this for over a year now, and yet no visible progress whatsoever.
What? Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I'll sign up for #R NA. I'm unavailable August 21-28th though. (Sign me up as Reppuken :D)
RaptorIIC Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 AC Naomi? Care to elaborate on this? I would be very, VERY interested in online AC, even through a Naomi emulator. Especially since BB (online) is a shitty substitute for ... anything.
Kayin Nasaki Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Wait the hell, sign the old man up. I'll stumble and fail and it'll be hilarious
ilikeusingdizzy Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 so its dying? i think its just cause theres no online console gaming which will be pretty much solved once a new game is made. and its really only dying to its predecessor,so it wont go forgotten.im sure people will still be good at gg.
freelander Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 could anyone give some tips/links how to set up the other games? (the not reload ones)

040488 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Back on a landline, and back online. Sign me in please.
Orrax Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Sounds good, Teyah. Count me in. Also, if people have low ping with each other, can they do delay 2 (or even 3) if they both agree?
E_iZ_Seri0us Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Sounds good, Teyah. Count me in. Also, if people have low ping with each other, can they do delay 2 (or even 3) if they both agree? Makes sense. Might as well, since delay 6 is going to be in use. I can do delay 1 with Ruinz, Romantic, and others.
Hayato182004 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Yeah. I guess I'll attend, too. Haven't played #R in forever, though, and my computer is too weak to run Slash and Accent Core.
akabane_kurudo Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 if the ranbat doesn't occur between the 2nd and the 28th of August (yeah I know) i'd gladly sign up for GGXX reload europe ^^
Teyah Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 List has been updated with those who signed up yesterday. Changing Delay setting to < 4 should be fine, so long as both players agree. However, I'm not really sure how to handle situations where two players are unable to play each other, even with Delay 6 assist. Right now I'm thinking that dropping them lower in the bracket or even forfeiting the match are the only possible solutions. Not sure if this should apply to only one of the two players or both, as it'd be tough to determine who is at fault. Any thoughts on this?
Kharhaz Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 I'll do NA #R. I'll do AC if the netcode ever gets finished, is there a site that posts updates about that stuff? If so, someone hook it up with a link ;>
Arvoyea Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Just wondering, when is this going to happen? I'm starting at Sac State at the end of August/beginning of September, so if it's then, I may not be able to participate.
Teyah Posted August 5, 2009 Author Posted August 5, 2009 Right now I'm looking at the week of August 16-22nd for the first Ranbat, which will be #Reload. Depending on player turnout/interest, I might run a GGX ranking battle after a few #Reload ranbats just for fun. Player list has been updated, a week and a half left to sign up!
