Title: Street Fighter Triathlon!!!
Post by: Lennysaurus on December 15, 2009, 10:45:35 AM
Am thinking of hosting another tourney.  Would be a doubles tourney in three games.

*HD Remix
*Alpha 2
*Street Fighter 4

Basically it would be 3 separate single elimination doubles tourney done SBO style.  Placing in each tourney would be worth so many points.  At the end of it the team with the most points from all three tourneys becomes the street fighter triathlon winner!

Feedback!? Thoughts!?

Or I guess I have to learn Alpha 2 but only if Chun-Li isn't banned :)

I thought it would be cool to have a separate tournament for HDR, SF3, CVS2 etc, but I guess that is up to someone who can be bothered to run them.

THe reason behind choosing the three games mentioned above are as follows.

HD Remix:
Most people have a copy of this, and it is the latest version of street fighter 2.  Very simple to learn.

Alpha2:
Of the alpha games it is the easiest to learn, and we already have a large contingency of people playing on GGPO already.  ALso for those that dont have it, it is very easy to get a copy of the rom online etc etc.

Street Fighter IV:
Its the latest street fighter out, and the game that the most of us play.  It means that there is one common game that we all play there.  Also entices more people to join, as they know that they can do well in SFIV and can pick up the other games fast.

Furthermore this is why it will be a team tourney.  If you are strong in HD/ST and shit in SFIV, you can pair with someone else that is good at SFIV to supplement your team.  Means people can pair with players that are stronger in an area to supplement their teams downfalls.

I missed out 3S, CVS2, and Alpha3 due to the large learning curves and the relatively small player bases.

Seems like a good list and probably the most played 3 games almost. Cept Marvel, but that's probably too split up.

Yea bro, I'm keen for some SF4, and SF4, and oh heck fuck it, i'll even play some sf4.

Sounds awesome. I'd love to see some of the SF4 beasts get owned at these other games.  ;D However it sucks that you always end up organizing these things if it means you won't be able to join.

One thing though. Would this be before or after Bar Fights? If bar fights is around the release of Super Sf4 and this is after that then I think all this might be a bit redundant.

Nah this wont be as big so ill be in it.

looking at late jan early feb so before barfights.

Can people star postin if they are interested so i can see if there are numbers to support it.  basically need about 8 teams to make viable imo.

I'd like to set up some sort of HDR multiplayer lobby. I can't believe we haven't done this yet...But that's oftop.

we do this stuff on xbox all the time with marvel and hdr
i would say this tourny could almost be done online if everyone had the same console

but its always better in person

Title: Re: Street Fighter Triathlon!!!
Post by: [NIUE] weazzyefff on January 08, 2010, 04:33:39 PM
Should swap one of the older games for T6. If not dont be a dick about it (feel it coming) or I will fucking rage.

edit: Leo can be dick about it, seeing that he's running it. Though he's not like that.

Got a laptop and an HDMI cable so now I can practice Alpha 2 on the 40" LCD in the lounge. Game on!

What are the banned characters if any for all 3 games. Just so I know now and don't start playing one of them.
