lol Uri_WoZ I was there in spirit? I personally think the 8v8 idea was fine, however I remember suggesting to xntrikcat to make it 1 team match instead of 2/3 team matches for the 1st round but I guess this was more or less an experiment, being the first time and all

hey guys I won't be able to host with xntrikcat this week, he'll be on his own this time I just wanted to say good luck to all participants

so it begins D:

sure thing

yes you can I'll change it now @Akira - we really appreciate your donations and participation to these events and no you haven't donated to this particular tournament yet. On another note please refrain from making jokes that will possibly mislead people of the rules, and the only reason I blew you up about the whole no reading thing is because you don't read and you admitted it before...

nigga read the 1st post and the post I specifically replied to you with that says that the order doesn't matter: READ

it doesn't matter what order the characters are in (i.e main/sub), you can switch them around mid-tournament. You can only switch to the characters you signed up with, limited to 2 per sign up. however you can change your characters before the tournament so I'll change Carl for Ragna no problem. But keep in mind that if you want to switch the order mid-tournament you will be able to do it with Mu/Ragna only.

chyeah! thank you very much for yet another generous donation from you c:

thank you very much! this is all going for the great cause that is netplay much appreciated c:

I said this once before but I will say it again PLEASE READ! this is a special tournament so read the rules and conditions of this tournament carefully! now that that's out of the way, please enjoy the super special awesome header I made and don't hesitate to sign up!

(No Texas, sorry) Tournament #6 will be on SUNDAY March 10th at 4:30PM EDT / 3:30PM CDT 1st place grand prize is: $25 2nd: $10 3rd: $5 Donations will go towards this tournament's prizes and for future events. Read HERE for more information. This Week's Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/xtruegunnershadow YouTube: BBNetplayHeroes -Xntrikcat will be sending out friend requests to those that sign up so try to have an open spot on your friend list the day of the tournament. -If you are a back-up then you will receive a friend request from me, I will be running a text chat for back-ups ONLY, if you are needed I'll send you over to Xntrikcat's text chat. Special Conditions: This is a TEAM Tournament, however you're teaming up with YOURSELF. How does this work? You will be using your main character AND your sub character as your team, both characters will be played by you in a 2v2 Team Battle environment (Waseda Style). You are limited to 2 characters per sign-up. Due to the nature of this event using the team feature in lobbies will be impossible so please keep track of the battles you've fought. General Information: -Please try and get on earlier so I know who is ready and so you can warm-up. -Player Limit: 8-16 (32?) -Singles/Teams (read special conditions) -Double Elimination -Match Format: 1 Team match -Round Format: 2 out of 3 rounds Tournament Rules: -2 out of 3 rounds as stated above (the in-game setting for this is 2) -You CAN switch character order between matches. -You CANNOT switch to characters that you didn't sign up with (restricted to 2 characters per sign-up) -Please don't skip the intro. -NO ---> Stylish Mode //// Unlimiteds //// Character Switching -Astrals are OK How This Works: This will be 2 vs. 2 Waseda Style: -Team 1 vs. Team 2 -Team 1's Character A vs. Team 2's Character A -Team 1's Character B vs. Team 2's Character B Scenario 1 - If Team 1's Character A wins AND Team 1's Character B wins then Team 1 gains a TEAM VICTORY and moves on. Scenario 2 - If Team 1's Character A loses but Team 1's Character B wins then Team 1's Character B faces Team 2's Character A for the TEAM VICTORY. -In other words your team needs to win a total of 2 matches to gain a TEAM VICTORY. -Grand Finals Grand Finals means whoever is still in the Winner's Bracket only has to win 1 SET (2 out of 3 team matches). Whoever came out of Loser's into the Grand Finals has to win 2 SETS (2 out of 3 team matches TWO different times). All matches are still 2 out of 3 rounds. Disconnect/Connection Problem Rules: -Disconnecting forfeits that Round, start up another match and get the rounds to go back to how they were originally and then the "Disconnector" must let the other person win whatever round was at the point when it disconnected. Ex. Player A won Round 1, Player B disconnects during Round 2. Start a new match, let Player A win Round 1 because he won it previously, and then let him win Round 2 because Player B disconnected. Match continues at 2-0. -If the person doesn't sign back on within 5 minutes they forfeit that match. If it wasn't during the Loser's Bracket then they can still continue with their Loser Bracket match if they sign back on in time. -If two players can't connect to each other, I will try to find someone to host for you, or me and Xntrikcat can host for you. -If you begin to show constant lag through out tournaments, depending on how many report you then you will NOT be allowed to continue participating in these tournaments regardless of your location (if you do manage to upgrade your internet, test it with me and I'll let you know on my decision) -**DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT LAG** - however you can report connection issues (see above) Communication: -Please NO mics (we are trying to avoid lag here) -Xntrikcat will be making a Text Chat Room for the tournament. -Please do not talk a lot on the PSN chat, and only discuss things like hosting and giving me results. -Feel free to leave the PSN chat once you and your opponent are matched up, but make sure you come back afterward. Match Recording: -If you can record your matches, feel free, and then post the links in this thread. -If you want to volunteer to record other matches, let me know. -You can volunteer to record matches and not participate in the tournament, if you are interested let me or Xntrikcat know. Tips on Avoiding Lag: -Use a wired connection if available. -Do not skip the intro. -Do not use a mic. -Leave the Text Chat BEFORE starting your match, leaving the Text Chat during the match (Character Select, Vs. Screen or during the intro) will mess up the synchronization and cause lag. -Do not stream videos during the match (YouTube, Twitch.tv, etc.) -Do not send messages (or go to the XMB) during the match (Character Select, Vs. Screen or during the intro) this will also mess up the synchronization. *if anyone has any more tips to add, please let me know* Current Sign-ups: 1) xntrikcat (MU/NO) - MA/EDT 2) Hellknight_10 (LA/TG) - NY/EDT 3) godoftennis101 (RG/TK) - NY/EDT 4) Akira-Shiro (MU/RG) - DC/EDT 5) seph508 (TG/PL) - NJ/EDT 6) Ethereal_Albion (RG/JI) - PA/EDT 7) badIime (HZ/JI) - IL/CDT 8) ClanWarrenXIII (LA/TS) - VA/EDT 9) Uri_WoZ (LI/RE) - TN/EDT 10) MooMooAkai (TG/BA) - NC/EDT 11) Ayashii_ (RG/HZ) - NY/EDT 12) Koopa_Klawz (TG/HK) - OH/EDT 13) Moy_X7 (JI/PL) - IN/EDT 14) CapcomDevil214 (JI/TS) - IL/CDT Back-up List: Legend: #) = Main participant listed by sign up order. *) = Standard back-up, will become a main participant when someone doesn't show on tournament day.

seriously, Omni got carried rofl

you mean WoZ right? he teamed up with Omni if I remember correctly they decided on splitting half and half

well I asked if you accessed the XMB while you were watching the match not before if you didn't then that just sounds like a connection problem, especially since you said you restarted your PS3 and it still lagged

were you in the XMB at all while you were watching the match? even if it was for just a second? if so then that's probably spectator lag, it tends to happen when you access the XMB while watching a match. It usually doesn't start in the same round you pressed the PS button but it'll start in the next round and it'll persist for the rest of the match. This doesn't affect the players at all just the spectator.

there are instructions there people just DON'T READ seriously I should start denying sign ups until people answer a short quiz of the tournament rules
