Heidern98 Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 For more information about Final Round XIV please go to the following thread: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?10071-March-11-13-2011-(FINAL-ROUND)14-New-Era-of-HYPE!-Atlanta-Ga. With the recent debate about what game should be the Saturday Event at FRXIV, I decided to take a poll in order to let the players decide. Since Dustloop is the main hub for both GGXX and BB, this is the smartest place to post it. The Saturday game will most likely be aired on the main stream. Regardless of what game is chosen, I am still planning on making sure there will be casuals setup for both games for most of the even. A few issues to take into account with placing of these games: GGXX has been a long time staple in FRXIV and has helped raise a significant fan base for the game. GGXX is also an older game that many people do not get as hyped about anymore. BB is a newer game that has recently brought in bigger numbers then GGXX recently has. Many people also complain that BB is shallow and the old school GGXX players have no interest in the game. Either way guys, we are letting numbers do the talking here so go ahead and tell your friends to vote for what game you want to see in the Saturday slot. The game that receives the least amount of votes will be scheduled on Friday. Big Shoutout to ShinBlanka for once again giving us the power to decide. Final Round for life yo!
Sol-Bumguy Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Of course, the GG/BB players who are actually ATTENDING (or are possibly attending) Final Round are most encouraged to vote-- not just random people who simply like or play either game (AKA voting based on popularity, bias, etc). Dishonest voting/creating new accounts just to vote should also be discouraged... Regarding GG having smaller turnouts than BB at fairly recent events: IIRC, last year's FR had more entrants for GG than BB, as well as NEC and FF's (?). Also, SB's, NCI and other fairly large events had good turnouts for GG, as well -- sometimes, quality is better than quantity, IMO. It seems that GG truly is making a comeback, so if the players feel that running GG on a Saturday will help bring in more numbers (I do), please vote ^_^ Edited January 11, 2011 by Sol-Bumguy
Kamui Moon Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Thanks for letting the actual players decide.
Ky-Sama Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) I would like to commend the FR staff for catering to the players; not many majors do that nowadays -- especially not here on the WC (i.e. EVO)... Edited January 11, 2011 by Ky-Sama
The General Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 ......GG all the way!!!!!.........GET HYPE PPL!!!
Frank The Tank Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Afaik the only non WC tournament where BB's numbers were bigger was Season's Beatings this past year. Every other major had GG getting more entries. Hell, 2 people total signed up for BB teams at NEC, while GG teams had 12 teams of 3 (that's 48 people for those of you who don't want to do math). It's pretty clear which game is more popular on the east coast.

faultydefense Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 i hate to bust your balls... but 12 x 3 = 36 frank you lookin mad agreeable but yah, gear all the way hell, last year the only hype blaze had was people tryin to figure out how they lost to a dude tagged "ivysaur"
Veteru Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 I vote for the third option, also known as: RETURN MY CALL ALREADY, HEIDERN.
Lord Knight Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 BB should be on Saturday. I like GG too and will be entering that. Really, whatever loses the vote should still get top 4 or top 8 streamed.
M.Song Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 just a quick question... aside from being streamed or not is there any other reason to prefer to have either game on saturday (like will some ppl be able to make saturday but not friday or something?)
blueNINE Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Guilty Gear XX Accent Core, sir. This will be my third year (in a row) at Final Round, and that game is the reason I started going to begin with. There are few events where this game is one of the main events, and Final Round is one of the best (if not the very best) of such tournaments. HEAVEN OR HELL!
Heidern98 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 just a quick question... aside from being streamed or not is there any other reason to prefer to have either game on saturday (like will some ppl be able to make saturday but not friday or something?) Alot of people will only be able to make the weekend and not Friday so... ya you hit the nail on the head Mike =D
bbq sauce Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Considering the date seems to only matter for stream - As someone who can't make it, but, will be watching, I'd muuuuch rather watch the GG stream, than BB.
Vyers Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Voted for GGAC; my favorite fighter, and the game that got me into tourney play. Money's tight this year so I might not make it down, but I will try to get to FR (I've made it the past two). FR always has a good turnout for GG Heidern thanks in advance for running these games once again ShinBlanka thanks for giving us the choice Ky-Sama thanks for the pm. I didn't notice this thread so I might have missed the opportunity to vote if you hadn't told me about it. I'll pass the word on.
agp24 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 GG all the way. What other game can satisfy my desire to throw butterflies at people?
SuperFX Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 voting GG because it would make my life a bit easier given I have to fly in from CA
TheGreatReptar Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I voted GG because I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to make it that Friday, as I have a test that day at 10am, and if I had to choose, I'd rather play Guilty Gear.
ShinBlanka Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Well this tournament is for you guys, so your VOTE COUNTS!
DoomieJ Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 i still wanna know who dickslicer is. best handle ever, and it did come from BB.
Heidern98 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 Going to be closing this poll soon so make sure to let everyone know to get there votes in. Thanks guys =D
FunkyP Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) For those of you who still want to watch BBCS bracket matches during Final Round, I will be streaming soley BBCS and GGAC on my channel that weekend. Please Donate to help me get this done. Edited January 25, 2011 by FunkyP
