[NZism SFIV National Tournament 15.08.09] Questions and Answers

[fluxcore]

And anyone trying to cheat the system by saying they'll use pads when actually they like using sticks, just to force an actual pad player to use a stick, will themselves be forced to use a pad for the entire tournament!

Warning: Stupid question that is potentially a spanner for the works

Hypothetically, what if a player PREFERS a 360 pad, but is adept on a stick as well, and a situation arises where a ps3 padwarrior is his opponent?

In this situation the person on the 360 pad has a distinct advantage, and i dont see any way to make it a 'fair fight'

I bring this point up because i happen to know an entrant is in this situation. (potentially more than one) And im quite curious. It seems highly unlikely, but i think the likelihood of it happening is potentially greater than we might think at this point. (Odds are it would only affect 1-2 games, but its a problem that might need some discussion)

Seems to me its one of those "cross your fingers and hope it doesnt happen" situations, without an easy resolution.

I was actually thinking about this earlier, and basically the idea will be to say 'You want to play pad? OK, in the event you play vs another pad player of a different system, would you prefer to use the other system's pad, or a stick?' and so in a case like Weazzy's, who I'm sure would prefer to use a stick than the xbox pad, we can still have it so the game will be played on an xbox, with the xbox pad preferrer playing on xbox pad, and weazzy on a stick. It still isn't COMPLETELY fair, but then what is, really?

[Lennysaurus]

I think we should stop complicating it and leave it how we had it.

Its just gonna get silly otherwise.

I'll come slap you all and say you either do as I say or Ill put you against teh DAMAGER!!! lawl.

on track, if the situation DOES arise, then we wil sort it out as I don't think its so significant at this stage?

Noooooo! i'm shit as shit with the stick, i cant cosistently throw,fadc,fireball, and when i DP it turns into a jumping punch, i'll get completely bummed.I  think that both pad players should play on the ps3 pad its like the TE stick for the pads, thats why xpox pad players only play boxer ( proven fact )

If someone is used to an xbox pad, then it will be less comfortable for them on a ps3 pad, Regardless of whether or not the PS3 pad is 'better' or not. More comfortable than a stick? Maybe, but the fact of the matter is if this happens youre forcing them into a situation where the ps3 player has a clear advantage. Even if its more comfortable grip-wise, their muscle memory is used to the awkward xbox motions, and as such, they would play better on their pad. At least when youre forcing them to play on sticks, there is a higher likelihood of them being on even ground. So it still stands that sticks becomes the best solution.

See you guys at the tourney!!!

[Gino]

Seed all the pad players against Kevin, Mike and Simon. Problem will be solved quickly then.

[fluxcore]

Can't seed them 'against' people. That's not how seeding works. What you're proposing is rigging the brackets, which I'm not even sure is possible with the software, short of seeding EVERYONE.

[zos'la]

we are thinking alike!!!
