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

This session went well. Thanks to all for playing. Spread the word about the Danisen, I'm sure there's more WC couch warriors who'd be willing to join this.

Thanks to NorseFTX for hosting the other room and keeping score.

On another note, Zeth, did your playing ever get worse on the nights that you ran these Danisens? I dunno why but my playing seems to be even sloppier than usual whenever I'm running these...

Yes, this is an OS

I haven't been playing in any of the new Danisens so I haven't had to deal with that problem, lol.

But in the past I'm sure there were times when I wasn't concentrating good enough or wasn't completely focused on the match cause I was worried about how the other rooms were doing due to whatever might have come up in the chat.

As the organizer and keeping track of rankings, I couldn't exactly leave the chat during matches to remove that distraction. Just one of those things I'd have to deal with and try to just play my game regardless of what was happening.

Rankings have been updated!

Thanks again to Mirage for hosting the other room and giving results. Special thanks should go to Psykotik for stepping up and running the "West" League these last few times. Videos will be uploaded within the next few days at www.youtube.com/BlazBlueDanisen

Next League Battle is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, June 16th. I haven't looked at the Events section to see if anything is going on though.

The rankings are starting to get fleshed out. So I would like to see a lot of the 2nd and 3rd Dans sign up/show up for the next League Battle that way we can get more 4th Dans, and from that be able to have the 5th Dans play to open up the chance at 6th Dan and above.

Aw man, I so want a chibi Carl by my name in the rankings D:

Guess that gives me more reason to shoot for 5th Dan.

I'll try my best to try to host the next one as well but there's a fair chance that I can't make it (school finals + Father's day weekend). Again, we'll see what happens but until then, if there's anyone willing to be a back-up host for that session, please let me know.

Urgh. Keep reminding me that I'm still at Kyu, why don'tcha? Bad enough that I lost most of my fights, but to end the night as the lowest ranked of my division - it felt so bad, I actually cried.

If this keeps up, I think I may run out of opponents for the Danisen. In which case I'd have to forfeit any new chances to participate.

Don't cry or get frustrated. It just makes playing worse. I have been there, trust me. Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and try again.

But cry I did. I can't change the past. But at the same time, the rules are written where if everyone DOES hit 3rd dan, I've got nobody to fight, and thus could be banished from the league on ranking alone. Not because I was cheating or anything, but because I so genuinely suck at this game that everyone rank farmed me to 3rd Dan.

Then maybe you should take a break from the danisen and work on improving.

That's all the danisen is is just a ranking of skill and from what your saying you are just not ready for it.

You don't have to do the danisen, take a break from it and find out what you are lacking and improve on it.

Not possible. If I remember correctly you can't just farm wins from one person. You need at least two people. If the same two people keep fighting, their match wouldn't affect the Danisen. And if push comes to shove, I will make it my mission to get free time and join the Danisen so you have someone to play against

But the Danisen is a great way to play multiple people in a short time to get some practice. He just needs to not worry about his rank.

You won't improve by putting yourself down. I used to do that a lot but in the end I keep telling myself its just a game. When you start repeating that in your mind, you start doing things you didn't think was possible. Just my two cents.

The longer you play in the league (and everyone else), the more accurate the rankings will be so that the more skilled players go into the higher ranks so the lesser skilled players don't have to play them anymore. Of course they might need to pick new characters who may or may not be better than your main anyway but regardless that's still more people to play and sooner or later that skill curve has to match up with your own rank (not speaking about you personally but in general).

The chances of EVERYONE getting to 3rd Dan and above and staying there so you have no one to play against is slim. Not only that, new people could join or like I mentioned people could have to pick new characters. If anything you could tell other people about the Danisen League and maybe get more people to join, particularly any "new" players you come across who are within your skill level.

Another thing I should mention is that the league has been happening once every two weeks. That is a lot of time in between league nights that a person could be practicing, but how much time you spend on that is entirely up to you. So if you're stuck in Kyu and want to get out, you should take that as a sign that you might need to step your game up IF you care enough to not be Kyu. But at the same time it isn't something you should be worrying too much about because you always have to play someone within your rank anyway. Of course the other person's rank might not be accurate if they are "new" or picked a sub and started over, but that's why this is good in the LONG RUN, unlike a tournament.

Regardless, this is just another way for people to play BlazBlue together one night every other week for a few hours, so maybe that's all you should really look at it as. Hopefully no one gets too discouraged about their rank, and if they do and care enough about it, they should do whatever they feel they need to to step it up and not be at that rank anymore.

EDIT: I just want to add that even if everyone somehow managed to rank up to 3rd Dan and a Kyu player or two had no one to play against the "rules" can be adjusted. I could just change it to be +/- 2 ranks of your own rank. As long as it is possible, I prefer to keep it at +/- 1 rank of your own rank because it preserves the integrity of the rankings. It doesn't allow some much higher ranked player to just beat up on the lower ranked players to rank up. Even if someone ranks up twice off "less skilled" players, if that rank doesn't reflect his actual skill compared to the league as a whole, the better skilled players who get to that same rank will proceed to demote him down a rank. In other words, getting your rank now is more about you earning it and keeping it.

For reference, in some of the Japanese 3rd Strike Danisen Leagues which is what I based this on, they have it to allow 1st to 5th Dans can play each other. So imagine if we did that.....

Matches from the "East" Danisen League Battle #3 have been uploaded:

EDIT: Lock was requested since I'm done updating the rankings and posted the videos, not because of the conversation going on. Just wanted to make note of that in case anyone got the wrong idea once the thread does get locked.

Man, I can't understand these people that get so hung up on losing matches. IT'S JUST A GAME, nothing at stake, nothing to lose but a "rank" that hardly anyone cares about. The whole point of these leagues is to manage people into their respective skill levels, play against said people, and just have a good time overall. Anything beyond that is just nitpicking.
