I think a poll would be good for some of these questions. I know making a few new threads could turn out bad or divide our convo's up, but I think it could help organize a few of these ideas a bit better. Just some general rules that need to be decided upon in the opinion of the masses. Some examples: 1. Phone numbers; Each players number, one players number from each group(region) and also discussion on tourney directors numbers. 2. DQ times before starting the tourney; Hour before, day before unless preregged, only prereg etc. 3. Number of people running brackets; Three (Bracket Runner, Name caller, Recon man), Six (Backups of previous), One (one poor bastard), Two (Do it alls) 4. Floating when needed; Up until sixth round, always until top 8, only first few rounds (shouldnt happen if seeded with tournament organizer program), never fuck you bitch you play that bitch, or tourney organizer vote. 5. How long until disqualification of a player who is holding up the tournament; 30 minutes, 10 minutes, 2 hours, occording to the reputation of the player. These are very general but I think if we divided up each of these topics to their own threads/polls, it could help get a better ruleset then everyone just throwing out their own ideas. Also, equipment is something that we really can't vote on. I can tell you that every tournament I have seen, the organizers do their best to get as many tvs, mics, megaphones, chairs, tables, power strips, game stations, recorders, projectors, and many other expensive things as they can but it is only in their limits of what they can find and afford. It is also up to the community helping them out. So basically, we cannot make rules about number of stations because x amount might not be available. We all have to just do our best here and bring as much of our own shit as possible. Please suggest and explain what you guys think. I would really like to see a set way of running things from now on that we can all agree on so their is no trouble and more efficient tourneys out there. K peace.

I completely agree with you. Let me tell you guys from experience, it is very hard when someone is begging you to get in the tourney late and you know you can do it, but you want to stick to the rules. When you look at that person and they tell you how far they traveled to play, its very hard to say no. I think DQ should happen when the first row is finished. Also, I really liked Freds whiteboard at evo2k8 where we listed the names of people who were holding up the tourney so they could come by and check every so often. This is slightly difficult when you have a 128 man tourney. Even 90 or so is 12 tvs and that is a lot of resources. Thing is, I understand this is a penalty, but it does not really benefit anyone except top 3. If you can get someone into the tourney, then get them in I say. If you can't, don't. I think I will follow your idea and give out my number to people who may need to delay their match or find out their status. The only problem with this is sometimes its so loud that you dont hear or even feel your phone cause all the madness. Oh and I think Mics and or megaphones are a must if you have over 64 Man that is awesome I wish I could do that. Imma post some ideas up regarding floating, seeding, and some general stuff after this weekend. I hope others do as well. Lets get this shit straight so we are all on the same page ya?

very easy.... cause you know its easy to do things in 1 frame timing

Bahamutt I am sending you my first communion video along with some vids of me and my ex gf having sex. They need editing to make them more exciting plz!!! Ill say this, when Latif does these combos to you in a match, they feel like a whole new experience each time lol.

Mad props Latif. Finally someone who makes a combo vid and actually does the combos in tourney matches and casuals. Really sick shit looks like you stepping up that rape.. The editing is amazing. One of the best vids ive seen. I like the sex theme too its hot ^^ Good shit bro. Final Round winner two years in a row? See you then.

Just to let you guys know my prayers and hopes are with you. Stone especially... Please be safe guys hope everyones houses, family, friends, property, etc is ok. I am from Florida so I understand the shittiness of hurricanes. Peace.

???? Did ShinBlanka say it was cool to put these up? If not they should be taken down immediatly.

See I bring good things.. MO MONEY!!!

Heh this is my fault. I wanted drama. Im so bad. I hope all american teams tie for first ^^ Mike Raekwon didnt say nothing but respectful things =D In all honesty, I really hope you guys DONT fight and just worry about the natives. GO USA!!!

Mike how goes qualifieing? Whats the plan and progress. I am with you all the way on this one bro. Raekwon is looking to OCV your team and Hellmonkies team from what I hear. I have the most utter confidence you won't let that happen. Good luck bro. Make history.

I promise next year we WILL NOT have this problem. I am hoping to get more stations recorded. Thanks everyone who did record.

Like as in used to play Dizzy X team serious member havent seen him since 2k4 Destin? Damn if so its awsome to see him playing again. He was me boy. Good shit guys. SH is easily one of our best.

Yo these pictures remind me of how fucking tired everyone was getting... But you guys still brought out that fire. For real tho thanks for toughing this shit out till like midnight each night lol. Singles I tried real hard... Teams I was completely wasted. Best tourney eva: NO JAPANESE REQUIRED ;D (Although that would have been fucking awsome if they came.... maybe next year if they see that hype)

Yo lets all thank this man. Thanks Jeremy you really came through bro!!! Thanks for all your help with everything. Latif is so sick.... Smoov handled his shit well.

Just a few things for pot since I know that matchup pretty good. When he does the jD, its prolly best to just wait for him to land and punish the recovery, just make sure to do it early so that he doesnt pot buster. Trying to anti air him or some of the other things do work but it depends on where he steers to and timing... Alot of the times you eat a counter hit... Kys jumping constillation is great for zoning in general against pot. Use it regularly. Nice way to blow tension. Ya everything else has been said... And for Jam... well Ive been playing Flash for years (mostly losing ^_^) and I still have no tips on that fight... Its never been in Kys favor thats for sure.

K imma just drop it right now. I am certainly not taking any holier then thou approach. I just feel you got a negative attitude at times... But ya I shouldn't take part in that either way so ya lets drop it.... I have never been about flames and I certainly don't want to turn people in the community against each other. Thats not me. I aint trying to hate on ya pozer. Perhaps there was a lack of communication eh? As for Kys not winning tournaments.... well even in Japan thats true for the most part. As far as advice.... well you dont need to be a tourney winner or even that great of a player to state your mind. Its just imposing ones viewpoint over others is kinda lame.... But it seems that isnt going on now so ^^

Lol dude you dont know me... nice try but your weak words have no bearing on me... Im done with you... Ya Ill try out that other stuff you guys mentioned.... It will take some work but Ill do it ^^

Pozer do me a favor and stop beign a jerk to people.... I swear shit like this makes me not want to post here. Im sick of you talking like you know so much and completly scrubbing out. Seriously I don't want any beef but you are trying to say things like JC the 2D is bad? Dude there are a ton of reasons to cancel 2D.... You talk in terms as if things are black and white.... "This is a bad idea because people will always do this to counter." Dude you really are making it obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about. I come on this board with my suggestions but I dont shove my style and opinions down peoples throats. I cancel 2D into ACSE all day and that shit kills people. Also 2D into constellation or at times ya normal dust and no people do not always react to it. Sometimes vs say baiken, order sol and lots of other characters, 2D jump away is an awsome strat... or 2D jump ASE frc fun times!!! Its called mixup buddy and it causes people to react in a turtle like fasion at times .... Stop giving people bad advice please... Now Sytha.... 2D SVT is in all honesty unpractical. First off you gotta be deep for that shit to work. 2S 2D will prolly push them to far.... Your idea is good and sure I would love to be proven wrong but most of the time teh hit confirm and the focus of trying to get taht combo will mess teh player up. If anything, orb after 2D is the new focus and like i said with time is pretty easy... Even if you miss you OTG them far away. As for KMC, me and vet were talking and imma try to see if i cant get it off in AC... Ill mess with 2D SE frc combos too... but alll in all these things are much less practical then 2D ORB. 2D SE is prolly the best damage you can get for combos but im still having trouble nailing the FRC down... Im thinking of more combos tho... Stuff for when you cant loop and you have tension to blow.... For example 6P anti air, S, 2H, jS, jH, VT, LJ, FRC, airdash, S, HS, VT, LJ... Or if you have 50% and feel like looking cool: random combo with two jumps into VT, LJ, FRC , air SE, FRC air dash, jS VT LJ.... Slightly unpractical but im sure it looks cool ^^ I might try to get some alone time on the game if MikeZ permits me again. Im still wondering about some good setups usign ACSE frc stuff... If i could get that going id be happy. Ok guys ill try out some stuff and let you know. Be good to each other eh?

The only time it seems that it is possible to do 2H is usually when the move hits a flying oponent. I started using ground ORB just to stuff out pokes and what not and it seems excellent for it. Unfortunatly it also seems when hitting a ground oponent, there is no real combo after it. Still this move is quickly becoming one of my favs. 2D > Orb > 2P, S, 2H, JC, jS, jS, jHS, VT > ender is like 40% life.... and really easy once you get the hang of it. Its great for punishing. I did one really nice setup as of late: Okizeme CSE FRC jump over the opponent, land and 2S, 2D > ORB etc which was really nice for damage. I don't think the japanese are using this version of Ky to his fullest. Not in the least honestly. I know Im not ^^ ....not yet.

First off I have to say immediatly that my first impression of Ky was completely off.... I was playing on a modified cabinet with PS2 converters that I later found out had about 2 or 3 frames of lag. Thus all my pokes and everything felt very slow. I couldn't make anything work. Now after playing with no lag all week... hours and hours of studying... I really don't think these changes are all that bad anymore... In fact I like this Ky much more then Slash... His air game and control is excellent and the tension spent on constellation (air super dust) is well worth it. It basically changes the tide of the match every time if placed right. The ground CSE Force break move is also great for catching jumpers. His loops are easy and come naturally after a while and his rushdown is still really sick. More tricks and different rush down enable a different ky then everyone is used to fighting... Ya I really can't offer strats or stats like you guys but I have had a few weeks of AC Ky under my belt and I can safely say I am way more comfortable with this one then Slash. Sure Slash Ky won but he is boring as hell. This one... so many different kinds of options instead of just fireball everything. Its really really fun. Sorry bout my negativety in the first impression. I know most of you guys are gonna love this ky. As far as a tier... seriously guys who gives a fuck. I will never let a list tell me what I can do hehe. Sure I bitched about low tier blah blah but after pulling my head out of my arse I realize this Ky can definitly win tournies. That ranbat proves it. So ya I will show you guys when my team wins SBO qualifiers ... promise ^_^

I will be running all of guilty gear!!! See ya there

After a bit more study and some thought (no playing to much overtime), Ky does seem decent enough to win with and perhaps not bottom bottom ^_^ The Japanese are using his air frc stun edge with really good results from the matches i have watched. Also, his Force Breaks are really good. What my issue was, was the fact that I was still trying to play Ky like his slash version. Now Ky needs more distance and more trickery. He is more like Venom in a sense. Ky has to manage that tension bar. I need to talk to you guys more about it in person. Mike imma call you soon man ^_^

Ouch.... Ok I played AC and after some evaluation... Ky is most likely gonna be at the bottom this game imo. He's awful. Everything is slower.... and he gets rushed for free it feels like now.... About as bad as XX or reload Id say but now that so many other characters are so much better.... its really bad for him. Honestly I won't be surprised when the tier list comes out and Ky is one of the last four. The major issues id say are the slowdown on CSE, counter hit 2H being BAD now, S fireball nerf, and most of all something Ky always relied on ... his slide.. its done now... Startup makes it all but useless... You can barely combo it now... Ya but Im not here to bitch about Ky.... I wanted to give an upfront honest opinion. Im glad they lowered him in power but some of the nerfs just about destroy a large portion of his game.... Since I have access to AC every day if others who arent as fortunate have questions etc.... lemme have em ^_^

Thank you Mike for all your info... Nice work bud. Guys stop the spam please.... :china:

Mike a few ideas I had... See if you cant punish bursts with his new 6HS. Seems like it could work out nice from long range. Ive seen people use 6K in combos but not in loops... Is this normal still good? The ender for Vapor Thrust seems to have more recovery on landing for the air version (as if you were in an air combo and finished with VT+ender, not on ground). Is this true? Sides that Mike, your info is prolly the best Ive seen and something I know I can trust... Thanks so much bro ^_^ Ill see you at Final Round son...
