[NZism SFIV National Tournament 15.08.09] Questions and Answers

[CrazyMobius]

You really want someone talking shit over your game while you are playing?

It will add to the entertainment factor while watching others. However most of the people who would be qualified would either be entering or organizing things so maybe not practical.

It would be good to have some sort of speaker system though to highlight what's going on. Even Armageddon has Bill letting everyone know when the Ice cream eating competition is on.

Yeah it would be great to have a bullhorn or something to call names on, since that's to the benefit of all. I just really don't want any kind of commentary to impact the players, since they ARE the tourney. I know I'd find it very distracting having someone call a match that I was playing and being able to hear it.

For those intending to enter the tournament, can we please get you to pre register so we can get a better idea of the amount of entrants.

[HoneyBadger]

So..... Will we know what platform we're playing on beforehand?

[zos'la]

I just think it'd speed shit up for you guys since we'd spend less time organising sticks and shit

[fluxcore]

I'm expecting most of you to 'donate' your sticks for the event so that we can have permanent stick setups and only have to change things in strange circumstances - this will be by far the quickest and easiest, and then it doesn't really matter which console you get asked to play on. I don't see any good reason why this can't happen, unless you guys are eggs. I know we've asked many times for everyone who has sticks to bring them so we can use them, but some people don't seem to like doing that, and it's a bit disappointing when there are many others who have no problem helping out.

In practice this might not work so well, but we'll have to see. It's really up to you guys how much trouble you want to make. I'm hoping that since we have a relatively small scene that pretty much all know each other, it shouldn't be too bad. I may be proven wrong.

Put it this way

No problem with NZism grinding on my PS3 TE
Slight problem with complete randoms breaking my shit.
Sticks are kind of worth loving..

Everyone can use my ps3 though obviously, SFIV \ Blazblue \ HD remix

This is how i look at it too im afraid. That $400 isnt easy to come by. I intend to bring and donate my stick, but if that shit gets abused, i expect an instant red card. And if that shit gets broken, i expect that everyone will be ok with me breaking the culprits face, cutting open his torso, and selling his organs to fund a new stick. (More serious than you think btw.)

[electric]

I'll be bringing my own (PS3) stick, but am unsure how long I'll be able to stick around for as I'll be busy in the evening, so I can probably donate it until I have to leave... Any estimates on how long the tournament will run for with the current amount of entrants we have ?

[zos'la]

The event shouldn't take longer that 4-5 hours, so expect it to start about 1PM and finish 6 pm or so.

I agree that we should be careful with the sticks that people are donating to let us use it the tournament and I am sure most of us are considerate enough tho we can expect some randoms that may abuse this. Thats why we will most likely have admin watching each game and if issue does arise we can stop it before it gets worst.

[Hydro]

um, wouldn't take longer depending on the amount of people we have attending. I mean, you had like 30 last time and didn't it take about 5 hours?


Sure things are a little more organised this time, and that's awesome but really we could have 50 people at this one, thats almost twice as many games. . . lots more time to get through them all, yeah?
