Aww yea, i dont doubt that that was the problem with your stick. You would know more about that than i do anyway.

Im talking about Jack/Fong's TE stick problem.

oh Jack\ Fong stick is just poorly done or the stick got some weird problem itself

Did you even read my post?

Back on topic, Evo has changed their stance on Ultra switching in SSF4 - now the winner CAN switch, but must select their ultra BEFORE the loser picks their ultra. Double blind still covers both character and ultra.


Probably a good time for people to start reading over the various rules and bringing up any issues they may have, btw.

Sounds like a good idea - some characters have match ups where one ultra is highly preferred - although I do understand the reasoning behind their original decision too

[massi4h]

Glad they added that, still think the original double blind should first be character, then ultra. It makes people scared to choose say Chun Li, then pick U2 and end up fighting Ryu.

[HoneyBadger]

For once, I actually agree with Mason

That's possibly something we could do... would need some discussion though. Anyone have comments on this vs one-shot blind selection?

edit: except smoof who posted before I replied, his opinion is null and void

[CrazyMobius]

I agree that Ultra should be able to be changed as this was Capcom's intention for being able to select the Ultra when the other player's character choice was visible.

Now that makes more sense

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

I have to agree with Mason and smoof on that point.

I just think that the match should have both players in the most advantageous situation possible depending on the matchup that was decided in the blind select. Which would mean you should be able to choose your ultra upon seeing your opponents character choice.

If you practice and have believe in your skill, it doenst matter what altra u choose.

100% true!

More signups! Can we fill 32 man brackets for the 2nd tier games?!

So the last 3v3 was pretty cramped. Had to get out of the building a number of times due to stuffiness. Also it was really hard getting through that bottleneck by where the games were played before the big screen set up. Is their anyway Giga can be paid to move that big circle of tables in the middle? Paid money I mean. Otherwise maybe advertising for the nationals is not such a good idea if the venue can't accommodate for all the people there.

[Rorooze]

That circle has like 12+ PC's all earning decent $$ per hour so they won't move it for a 3v3 tournament.

IIRC for nationals we've got that whole space, so no worries.

[zos'la]

The only reason it was cramped was because we had a clash with a DOTA tournament on the same day which they used those pc in the circle.
If Lenny wanted to, he could talk to the owner and sort things out a bit with spacing issues.
