Update for upcoming Ranbats: April 16th 2010Okay, brief info.
Here we go, credits to Lenny to bring this up.
After last week I have been requested to the folowing by some.

Information:
Ranbats will be run as a single elimination tournament each week. Rules as follows:
Rounds set to 2 out of 3 to win each game.
Matches are set to 2 out of 3 to win the game.
Games will be played on XBOX 360's on VGA cables to reduce lag as much as possible.
(Sorry guys about not using CRT's, but I think that it might be too difficult to drag these along every 2 weeks)
There will be no seeding at this point.
Price will be $5 per person, and for people that provide joysticks that are used the price will be $2. (Please people that are bringing sticks, they have to be at least sanwa/seimetsu quality stick and buttons)
Ranbat will run from 6-30PM till 9-00PM on a single console (or two if time permits). If we finish early, the rest can be for casuals.
All other rules will be as per the NZism tourney rules so read up. I'll be the judge for the events unless otherwise stated.

Heya guys,
Just to further explain my motivations behind the idea:
Basically this is gonna be a ranbat that, as mentioned by Andy, will be running fortnightly. At this point the details are rough, but the cost for each fortnight would cover 2 things. The cost of for running the ranbats, and any leftover money will be put in a bank account that I am setting up to be contributed to our nationals event (to cover stuff like venue etc since it looks like this will be a difficult area this time round).
The ranbat will run for a predisposed amount of time, and the top 3 or so spots will be given qualifying spots in the top 16 at our nationals.
I would also like to run a tekken 6 ranbat at the same timeslot, as we would like to run a Tekken 6 tourney at the nats as well.
So in short it would be great to get as many people to this regularly as possible. Basically our back is to the wall a bit here guys. If we want a succesful Nats, we as a community need to start pulling together and supporting stuff.
Looking forward to it on the 10th guys! Woot!
P.S.: Gonna add this to the OP you made Andy. Hope you dont mind.
Birry Wong approves. Birry Wong also suggests that a mod moves it to the auckland forum, since it doesnt really apply to people outside auckland.
Mod agrees to Birry Wongs post, but not to Birry Wongs face :P
yeah, though I put it in the wrong area xD cheers mods mod moder mob :D

Is it hard to agree with something that sexy?
what time you looking at running these things, i think i could make the effort to show up.
Fridays from starting about 6 Pm till 9 pm or longer if we want.
that sounds alright. beats the hell out of what i usually do on a friday night (nothing)
Sounds good I'll be there if I lived there =). does your guys timezone have you know like half price specials or anything? yea it does seem like a waste of dosh if its still coin op there jeas.
Samurai Black is that your art work nice...
timezone got better specials yes, but majority of us are yifan fans and also timezone's version of SF4 is crap.
Last week we had about 8 guys including myself that Jammed from 7pm? till like 11 PM or somewhere along the line and cost less than $10 each. We had heaps of games and even a mini 3v3!!!
aparantly our SFIV here is from yifans up there so it is crap cos it randomly stops with the sticks. Random setup PC version going on with it.
card swipe more play, coin no way...
Damn I wish I wasn't busy EVERY Fri night :'(
The earliest I can get into town on a Fri is about 9pm.

Graeme,
You can still come along on Friday as we prolly stay till about 11-12 ppm xD
I've got your cell number Andy so if I can make it up to any of the Fridays I'll send you a txt and see if you guys are there.
yup cool.

yeah buddy, as I said its credited to you xD I'll help out where I can.
I know for a fact many of us here may disagree with things I say and do around here so having another voice is always good.
As mentioned before, if we want a better community, we must work together and remove the slight differences we have. Such as Tekken 6 and SF community, its should be tbh as they are both in the same catagory type.
I hope you all can contribute and help out where you can.
Thanks.
Also Lenny, what do you mean teh 10th? SF4 2v2 will be on the 6th of March and the TZ Tournament will be on the 10th?
You lucky Aucklanders! & Poor weazzy :(
No interest in this now that someone has explained what it was ACTUALLY intended to be?
Bi-weekly ranbats for a qualifying spot at the nats? Your name in lights on the site in point tallys? Regular competition?
You aucklanders are fucking spoiled.
Plenty of interest. I just dont think anyone has any burning questions at this point.
In light of this. If people would like to start posting whether or not they will be entering this.
So we can start making a list of interested peeps?
i intend to make as many of these as i can, but life and sheer laziness may get in the way.
I'm keen but I doubt I can make it every fortnight! I should be able to make the first one, I don't have anything planned at this point!
At first I was just hoping this to be a gathering for those who intend to imporve their skills by playing against a variaty of cast and players. Though Lenny suggested this to be something we can add on to help out our up coming National Tournament in which I agree as our community is so small we need to do something to help in every inch.
Think of it this way, you're coming along to these kind of events to:
1: improve your own SF4 skills
2: you get MORE games than the money you will get in Yifans by paying the same price.
3: you meet more people and get to know each other better within your community
4: By coming you're helping this community you cherish to grow.
The part where Lenny talks about getting a spot in the national if you do well in the ranbats is maybe a bit off but this is in discussion and we would like YOU guys to help us out with comments/feedback so we can make this better for us all.
Yeah I'm with Richard on this.

I can feel the sodium levels rising
I believe both myself and Lenny have made our intention clear, now its really up to you guys.
So I'll keep my personal comments to myself as this is something I would like to help out those who are worth helping.
xpunch = very interested in this ;) i will try my bestest bestest to make all these ranbats as im in need of some serious up skilling.
Good work Lenny and Andy for doing something NEW for the community, as these ranbats will keep who ever attends up to date with match ups and it will build a solid player base so we may all end up being as good as each other which will even out the comp insted of having the same old guys taking out the tourny's and stuff.
I don't know this for a fact but im sure over in the states/japan or even aus. SF4 players have ranbats every week or even every day up skilling, making friends, rivals, enemies what ever, so i dont see any harm done by running these ranbats plus its for a good cause (nats, etc...)
We can learn new shit while playing against one n another and also talk about match ups afterwards give feedback n stuff, it's good shitt ;D
the blackest blackstar ninja who isint actually black but has a huge albino anaconda approves and will be there for the ranbats !!!!!
Long dong silver away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IM THERE AT EVERYONE I CAN GET TO >:(
SO SERIOURS RIGHT NOW
Ill definitely be making an effort to turn up to as many of these as i can. Obvoiusly, shift work and Girlfriend will mean i might have to miss a fair few, but ill definitely turn up to the ones that i can.

Of course, we all have our priorities la. As long as you guys can make it to some of these it would be great.
Keen to support the cause. Will try and come out to the odd session. Perhaps a monthly thing for me juggling my family commitments as well.

good stuff bud
Sounds like a good plan and full support from Pjai.
Although, the only thing I have comments on are the 3 spots for the nationals? it sounds to me that it is a bit unfair for those outside auckland? Perhaps adapting the EVO qualifying style? Like winning a certain small comp will earn you a spot? (say it could've been the winners of the 2 vs 2 comp, last national? and xlan?) At least people outside auckland will only have to come to Auckland once instead of every friday. (well realistically, it jst won't happen for them. But if they are mad keen it is not physically impossible to turn up every friday)
Nevertheless, some ppl might say, the top 3 players are likely to be in Auckland anyway, so the end result will be the same. True perhaps, but I am not in a position to say. There is still a difference from being knocked out of a tournament at round 1 and not being able to participate at all. This is said without taking head count of players outside auckland, but I assume there will be somebody lol
Im not sure what the format is, but im sure there will be decent opportunities for people from across the country to jump in on the rankings.
The MVC2 ranking method that i came up with a while ago (which may not actually work in this instance, the more i think about it) for example, would heavily favour a strong outside player, to come in, beast everyone once, and then wait for the nats. Since his rank would stay essentially solid as he wouldn't have any more opportunities to downrank. However, it would also mean he couldn't uprank, so its a double edged sword.
IF thats the method that gets used. Im personally trying to think of a better way to do it, despite not ACTUALLY being in on the admin side for these ranbats.
1) the top players are already in auckland
2) people won't have to face the top players in the early rounds if they are seeded into the top 8 or so anyway
3) if someone is so good, they can still just turn up on the day and beast through the early rounds and then they'll have achieved the same thing they would have had to do to qualify anyway
The idea is that this will reward the people that consistently place, and give people an incentive to turn up regularly and train.

Point taken.
I really think the rambats should be use only for fundraising and not placements/seedings in the Nationa's but that is just my opinion, Lenny is the organizer for this so I'll leave this to him and the community to decide.
But as Flux stated that seeding or not, if the players got skill he will be taking himself all the way to where he deserves without needing to be seeded.
either way I am also looking forward to attend these when I can.
Good post Andy, me too.
People respond to incentives. What's more enticing, paying your money and entering ranbats every week for:
Nothing more than bragging rights
or
A guaranteed position in the finals at our national tournament
?
First of all, let me remind everyone that im not adminning anything. But im gonna throw out a proposal for how the ranbats could potentially work.
Ive been having a think about this, and i dont think the marvel ranking system will work right for this. Though to be fair, the other method ive been thinking about does HEAVILY favour people in auckland. That method is as follows.
Essentially, Im thinking we run a points system, based on results of small, single elimination tournaments. The format for them would not be a standard single elimination tourney though. Hypothetically, lets look at a tourney bracket. Players are named by letters A-H. Forgive the crudeness of the diagram
A
---- A
B
---- A
C
---- C
D
---- A
E
---- E
F
---- E
G
---- G
H
Basically, we can see in this tourney, that player A won, and player E came second. Thats fine, but lets look at the rest of them. Player C and Player G are placed equally, and players B, D, F, and H are also on equal footing with each other.
For the ranbats, i would suggest a similar bracket, only we need to separate those players that are on equal footing. This is fairly simple. Player C and G just have to play each other to sort out 3rd and 4th. (lets say C wins, just for reference) Thats easy. But B, D, F and H basically need to play a small bracket of their own to sort out their placing. eg.
B
---- B
D
---- B
F
---- F
H
Here we can see B comes out on top, claiming overall 5th place, and F ends up with 6th overall. Then D fights H, and, if we assume D wins, then D comes 7th, and H comes 8th.
So the final standings for this makeshift ranbat are:
Ranbat #1:
1st: A
2nd: E
3rd: C
4th: G
5th: B
6th: F
7th: D
8th: H
Ok, thats great. For one ranbat. If we want them ALL to count, we need to impliment something that carrys over. This is where the point system comes in. This is the part i havent really thought through properly yet. But lets say we go for something like:
1st: 10 points
2nd: 9 points
3rd: 8 points
4th: 7 points
5th: 6 points
6th: 5 points
7th: 4 points
8th: 3 points
We can use hundreds, or thousands, or whatever. Bigger numbers might help to rank the lower players, depending on the turnout from week to week.
So, the current standings for this hypothetical randbat are:
OVERALL:
1st: A - 10 Points
2nd: E - 9 Points
3rd: C - 8 Points
4th: G - 7 Points
5th: B - 6 Points
6th: F - 5 Points
7th: D - 4 Points
8th: H - 3 Points.
Ok, Great. 2 weeks later, we have another ranbat. Lets pretend that the following are the results for the next ranbat:
Ranbat #2:
1st: C - 10 Points
2nd: B - 9 Points
3rd: G - 8 Points
4th: A - 7 Points
5th: D - 6 Points
6th: F - 5 Points
7th: E - 4 Points
8th: H - 3 Points.
We then add these points to the players totals, to get an overall ranking:
OVERALL:
1st: C - 18 Points
2nd: A - 17 Points
3rd: G - 15 Points
4th: B - 15 Points
5th: E - 13 Points
6th: F - 10 Points
7th: D - 10 Points
8th: H - 6 Points.
We have a couple of Ties in there, So we need to have some tiebreakers. G vs B, and F vs D respectively. Lets say G and F win their tiebreakers, so we give them an extra point, meaing the overall rankings become:
OVERALL:
1st: C - 18 Points
2nd: A - 17 Points
3rd: G - 16 Points
4th: B - 15 Points
5th: E - 13 Points
6th: F - 11 Points
7th: D - 10 Points
8th: H - 6 Points.
The players are now ranked, and as we continue from week to week, the rankings change and solidify. I am aware that the tiebreakers could potentially become a massive chain of tiebreakers, but ultimately, we STILL come away with the desired result.
Heres the blatantly obvious problem. Not all of us are going to be able to make it each week. Which means those that arent there end up with a lower overall rank than the regulars. This is something that would need addressing, maybe by making larger gaps in the points. ie. 1000pts for first, 500 for 2nd, 250 for 3rd etc.
That IS a pretty big flaw, but heres why i like this system. It gives us all more tourney experience. It helps those of us that suffer from major tourney nerves get over that shit, and potentially lead us to a better result at nationals.
And like Alan and Andy have both said, if a player is strong enough, he will get where he deserves regardless of seed. I think there are going to be glaring issues with whatever we do, but i think this will be the most beneficial for us. Hell, we might even be able to break out 2 in one night if we keep it short. But this, coupled with ORGANISED casuals i think would be the best way for everyone to level up their normal play, AND their tournament play.
Just an idea i thought id throw out. Id love to hear peoples thoughts.
lol Bill you deserve a pat on teh back lol. that long post I really try hard to read but only skimmed throught it but got a good idea of what you're talking about.
It is sad that whatever we do someone will have some sort of issue on it and thats natural in our community since we are majority Auckland though many of our important players are from elsewhere which makes thing slightly hard to decide on.

Haha yea, i expect most people will skim it. But its fairly easy to understand. No matter what happens, the people outside fo auckland are going to lose out a bit i think.
But all the same, with this format, even if they only rock up a couple of times, they still get to jump in on some tourney action, and they get to throw their funds in the pot for the nats, and every bit of extra cash we can get for those counts.
Just for a glance at something that already has been being used for quite some time:

As for the whole 'not aucklanders' thing, I think it's really not an issue, and isn't something I'd be taking into consideration. Not that it's my event.

I'm sure any help from you would be appreciated Flux. Whatever we do we try to make it broad so everyone gets something from it..if you know what I mean lol..
Oh nice. Looks like i was on the right track. Although they didnt go with tiebreakers, which i guess keeps an element of confusion out of the whole system.
Yeah non aucklanders is not a big deal as like you mentioned, best players are there already and it's a given that they will make it past the first rounds at nats... so it's better that they are seeded than peacing out newer players in there first match
(WHERE WAS THE JACKSMASH SEED LAST YEAR? FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- )
I was agreeing with Andy's "look forward to attending" earlier up the page, not going to lie I skimmed the prize stuff as I really don't care lol. My reason for attending will be training, and crashing at Manawhakore's pad afterwards for even more casuals (Lol Chur bro!)
When r we going to do Marvel vs Capcom 2 again ?

Jack and Fong was not previously ranked in any way therefore he was not seeded. And he didn't make it to top 8 in Nationals I beleive at the time, it was only at both Giga tournament where he actually got a placing. Which may or may not be legit enought to be use as a seeding criteria for our Nationals though I won't comment anymore on that since it would be up to the organizers.
And Ben, Mavel ain't happening!!! its z past yo xD
Haha thanks Bill... I got his number and we all saved each other on our cellys at nats.. but even that took like 5 mins for us all to get our names right.. and it looks like I was DESTINED TO FAIL here because I asked for his name and spelt it wrong on my phone.. so even though I copied from my phone contacts this time.. sigh............. one day.
ACTUALLY NO! I'm not calling him by that name again.. from now on he is Ace
Yeah Andy but that didn't stop me getting him round1 last year and getting destroyed by him, please consider my feelings when randomly assigning tournament brackets next time thanks lalalalalalalalalala~
LOL you tell that to the tournament software, I was like wtf I got iMagneto and you first round!!!
Also last year I don't think I did the brackets :P it was Leo (Lenny) hahaha BLAME HIM QQ
ONE WEEK TO GO
GET FUCKEN HYPE
:D ;D >:( 8) :P :o
be there with fong and jack 2nyt come down boys
OK so lookin' for confirmation on a couple of theings:
What time is this? The earliest I can get there is probably around 7:30-8pm
How much is it going to cost? Don't really care just need to know how much to bring.
I will bring my PS3 TE stick and a copy of SF4.
Actually, are we gonna be rocking 360's or PS3's for the ranbats? Given the issues we had at the 2v2 tourney.
If people are willing to bring their 360's I think that would be teh best idea? unless other wise stated by Lenny...
Price will be about $5-$10, they ahve snack food and drinks available there so might want to bring a little extra.
I am waiting for Lenny to update us.
what happens when ssf4 is released ? will the ranbats be on sf4 or ssf4 ?
thought i should ask seeing as we are starting on sf4 and may be ending on ssf4
First post has been updated.
Also if there are enough people, We can order a second setup and run two to finish it sooner and have more casuals.
I'll bring my TE, can euan, Jack and one other also bring one please?
If anyone is going to be late, please post up on here and let us know. I will try and hold your games for till you arrive, but no guarantees>
See you there guys!!!
At this point guys when SSFIV releases we will look at changing over to that. I know that there are issues around doing it this way, but I see few other alternatives without stagnating too long.
Bar fights is dead in the water because the bar we were to use has closed down, and I have spent the last three weeks looking for other venues, but Giga is the only place that can/is willing to accomodate us. So big ups to Giga!!!!
Also Euan get on vent homo!
Sweet Lenny. I can bring my TE if really needed. I don't have a sack and I'd have to carry it around all day. But I don't really mind, gives me an excuse to play ggpo at uni lol. Doubt I can bring my xbox though.
And fuck you euan.

Ranked battles will only apply to Street Fighter 4. Any rankings for Super Street Fighter 4 will have to be recorded by playing Super Street Fighter 4 as they are two totally separate games.
i can bring my te and box if needed
OK Lenny,
we DON't need to use VGA cables, the xbox360 and HDMI cables work perfectly on those LCD monitors I can promise as I beleive many of you who has been to Giga has played on their xbox with HDMI cable.
I am guessing someone will bring an xtra xbox360??
Im bringing my xbox guys so you just need to bring your sticks. Mason if you can do that I would be grateful, and youll get the discount as stated in the first post.
Andy, I have VGA cables so ill use them anyway. They provide less lag due to the fact that they get around the TV having to do any post-processing. We can use them anyway as it will provide people some peace of mind and it will cost no extra.
Xpunxh if you can bring your stick thatd be great too thanks!
SF4 Ranbats should be treated as 'practice' for the SSF4 Ranbats, just so we know whether the system works etc. It will give us a chance to work the kinks out for the SSF4 Ranbats. Ill bring my TE too just in case.
Okie Dokie. Tell me if you need another Component cable or whatever it is. That's easy to put in my bag.

Its good that they're fortnightly in that regard. I think you'll find that just about everyone will miss at least a couple. But they're gonna be regular, so i wouldn't be too disappointed. Just rock up to the ones you can. The MAIN purpose is for everyone to get better. The ranking is a nice incentive all the same.
I might have to miss the first one :( I'll update in a few days.
ONLY 3 FUCKING DAYS TO FUCKING GO
;D :D ;) 8)
Woohoo! Nzism on my cellphone_shot guys! Yep lookn forward to sum polishing up my gameplay with SF4. Fingerz crossed for the fortnightly ranking matches. Keep up the gd work team leaderz! C u all at Giga

Thx Ross.A
Hey bro, I do know livewire sell TE sticks. I got mine there for $330 early December last year. Probably cheaper now. They're the round 1 sticks.

Aaaaand im a dick and left my TE at home. Sorry team. We should have enough though hopefully. Plus those 2 sticks at giga that andy modded arent TOO bad. Just the l1/R1 are in the wrong place. :P
Just everyone that can bring your sticks I guess. lol.
SHould be okay
are the VGA cables for the xbox are teh same that used on teh PC? if so they have many at giga...
Already dropped my TE off at Giga this morning.
After much time wrangling, I should be able to make it - probably have to be out of there by 7:30/7:45ish though so someone had better knock me out quickly lol - Chuckarello and myself will be there around 6:30 hopefully

Question: Where is giga? I might be able to stop by before I have to go to dinner :D
[edit: found it, it's on wakefield st :D]
karizzma is out of the SAS now... his performance was too good yesterday.. haha
cool tourney, looking foward to the next one.. :)
Heya guys.
Thanks for coming yesterday, loads of fun.
I definitely have a couple of things I will improve for next time. Will make a thread soon in the tourney results thread which I will update after each tourney with results etc and current standings.
Thanks for organising Lenny. Was heaps of fun even though I lost to Cody in the first round and he ended up winning, which didn't surprise me cause I got frickin owned.
Oh yeah that's right it was Jack's Birthday, forgot to say Happy Birthday. So yeah.
Yeah Ranbats was really good. Cheers lenny for organising and running the event. Can't wait for the next one, gonna go create a countdown clock for it lol. Really good to meet, greet and play with everyone who came as well.
Cheers for the few casual games I got in before I had to bail!

Can we make higher ranked players use player 1 side at ranbats . Isnt player 2 most favoured?
I would think any people that rank highly don't really care...
Quote from: nztauranga on March 22, 2010, 10:35:48 AM

I guess you can go for a coin flip if there is two players who wants to be on the same side?
But to be honest if you are wanting to level up you should be playing on your worst side to get the most out of it but then agian it will affect your ranking since you wouldn't do as good, but try to get the most out of the practice when you can on your bad side, that is what I'm trying to say :)
TBH when you get good enough you should be able to input on either side. But as per the NZism tourney rules, during the set the loser of the previous set may opt to change sides.
Yeah, if the default NZism rules are being used, then it's all catered for anyway.

Okay guys results are up. The thread is locked so you cant comment but I will keep updating it after each ranbats.
Couple of things for next week. Anyone not at Giga by 6-45pm will not be included in the bracket.
This time I will be using a paper bracket so that everyone can see it.
More feedback?
soz i didnt make last one daughter was in hospital but will be at the next one looking for my 10pts hahaha
Bro what happened, is she alright?
yeah shes fine, she had a fever and the doctors wanted her to stay in overnight to check if it was anything serious since shes only 7wks old, but it ended up being nothing major, glad we took her to the hospital tho its always best to be safe than sorry ;D.
oh and btw, thanks for asking bro ;)
Cheers for the results Lenny, and congrats all.
Hoping to make the next one on the Friday, and do cloud lan that weekend too (At least I think that's the next one anyway, will double check later)
I'm deffo crashing at somebodies pad if that does turn out to be a 3day SF weekend, just thought I'd throw that out there.
Thanks for spelling my name wrong lenny... what a hater aye?

Just got given a new LCD TV/ Monitor (Ariga brand?) or something. I think its like a 27-29 inch....
with DVI/ VGA input and built in speakers. Will try my PS3 tonight with it and see if there is any lag, if none I could possibly bring it along in the next session :)

If it's any good, make sure you let us know what the model number is - I'm after a nice big lag free monitor :)
got the AV input working but couldn't get teh DVI going.... not sure why.
too lazy to fiddle with it as I got my Assus VW24H working with my ps3 and it runs fine (without much lag) from what I feel.
I think EVO used the VW23H? or something.
SO FUCKING HYPE LAHHHHH
Taking the fam up North this weekend. Damn, won't make it Friday... at least i'll get some fishing and seafood in tho! ;D
I assume Giga is still open even though its Good Friday this week?
Lol thats what we're all assuming.
We've got a plan B though.
RANBATS AT RICHARDS HOUSE
no
yes
Giga will be open 24/7 unless the Gov makes them shut down xD or fine them if they don't.
so yes they will be open.
Actually they do get a fine if they are open and get caught.
lol maybe someone better check with tony then to make sure we dont all show up and its closed
Okay, I have just spoken with the worker at Giga and she reckons they will eb open but I want confirmation from Tony.
Will update post later tonight.
Giga is fine to be open as they are providing a service as opposed to goods. The Shop Trading Hours Act only applies to shops selling goods.
THe only thing they have to do to ensure they comply is to make sure they arent selling anything else on teh day E.G.: Food and Drinks. They also have to cover any food and drinks up so that people in the internet cafe can't see them.
But tbh it is very unlikely a labour inspector will come and inspect Giga.
Quote from: The Lenny 2.0 on March 29, 2010, 05:57:30 PM

Whoa! Lenny calm down. So, what about houses selling goods? ;)
Depends on the house and what/why they are selling, but I think it is likely that they cant. I used to do alot of the admin and policy work around the shop trading hours act, so if you are asking for personal reasons I can probably find out for you if you want.
Also having looked through some ofmy older doc's I think Giga will be fine to sell drinks and stuff on the day.
ALSO GET HYPE FOR RANBATS YO!!! AND DONT TURN UP FUCKING LATE!!!

Ya bro try and get those dudes to come coffin, should be a mean one.

What time you think of running the tourney? Me and Skullator and I guess whoever else goes to cloud lan can come whenever we can get day 1 finished. And I gotta be out by 9:30, think the ranbats will be done by then?
Starts 6-45PM on the dot. Anyone notthere at that time is DQed immediately.
Also, it's prob gonna be double elim if we dont have too many people.
TWO MORE DAYS!!! IM HYPE!!!
Wont it be harder to rank in a double elim? If just for the fact that you have to sift through twice as many match results?
we got the time and machines to rock :)

I'll turn up around 3ish!
Unfortunately I won't be able to show up tonight. Sorry guys but... gogogogog team SAS!!
Great Turnout!!! 26 People!!!
Sorry guys about how long it took. And thanks for being patient. Definitely not doing double elim next time If there are that many people.
Date updated for next one! I'll have the results thread updated either Monday or Tuesday!
Big ups to the new guys that were there!!! Sign up for sure and keep coming along! Always good to have new faces!
Sorry about leaving without saying anything guys, I thought people might stay back and play some casual games just like last time. So I was planning to go feed my stomach first and come back to you guys.
oh well...... Good games to everyone that I played. I had lot of fun (except for the waiting time, lol). I will definitely show up for the next one !!
Bummed I couldn't make it after all but I was feeling sick and had a migraine all afternoon.
26 people! Looks like there will be some good turnouts from now on then. Can we get a second setup going or did you guys already have 2 yesterday?
Ughh... I played like a scrub :(
I dropped every combo (again) and then got super nervous because shit wasn't coming out and ended up missing that ultra punish on Mike LOL... that was fucking terrible
I think I need an Xbox... but good luck getting that one past the missus :/

Tonight we were using a VGA cable on the setup, and only had one of them. For consistency's sake I didn't want to do another setup on a potentially less enviable setup. Speaking of which anyone got any feedbackl on how it felt playing on the VGA setup as opposed to the Component like last fortnight? Thos of us that were there when we swapped over from component to VGA earlier in the arfternoon definitely noticed a difference.
Also Graham do you have a home number you can PM me? I got some stuff I'd lake to ask you about.
Once again guys, big apologies from me for deciding to go double elim, this will definitely not happen again.
I say it was decent. Heaps better than any of the other setups for sure.
Cheers lenny for organising and running it. Double elim did take ages but I think its better from a ranking perspective. If the RANBATS aren't going to be seeded then you'll end up with Cody/Hue or whatever playing first game and then one of them will be ranked bottom for that week, doesn't really make sense..
Run two set ups with double elim, next time I'll grab my VGA not component/RCA cable so we'll have two set ups the same.
BTW, who won?
Oh and thanks for the games guys, jack, you're a rapist.
Yea, despite me dropping my RSF's, it felt a lot better on the VGA than it does normally.
Was really fun as per usual. Glad i improved as the tourney went on. A few mistakes meant i couldn't quite keep up with Jay's boxer though, but all in all im pretty happy.
Oh holyshit, just read up some stuff about the same model of TV that they use at GIga, and it has instructions on how to make it only give between 1 -2 frames of lag using xbox360, thisll be heaps better, will def do it for next time!
YAY!
Im gonna go down to JB hi fi today and grab me a VGA.
Im gonna get this lagless RSF DOWN goddammit.
Gah, fuckers didnt have any. Theyre fucking $50 on mightyape. Screw that.
Found a few for $12.50 on trademe. Brand new apparently. Its probably some shitty asian knock off, but meh. If its crap i only wasted $12.50.
Awesome day guys, really good turn out cheers for organizing this Lenny.
Good to see everyone with their game faces on and uping their game. GGs
Next time, I wont be losing to the same person twice............................
F*ck me and my cheap sh*t comboz. I betr nail dwn them comboz to avoid more embarassement. Thx Lenny n the crew for the uplift in sf4. Hadoken!
Damn, not gonna make the next one. Missus and I going away for the weekend.
MY PRECIOUS POINTS. :(
Awesome turnout for sure - there were heaps of people there which made it very interesting as there were a lot of unknown match play styles. Thanks to IronSol for a few good Honda pointers too bro. Good to meet a few more SF4 enthusiasts. Heaps of high level Rog on display Ben, Jay and Fong - definately need to work on that match up. Highlight was beating Mikes Seth :P he got his revenge though with Bison...Lowlight facing Fongs Rog in my first match.

Will aim to attend more of them
Wouldve been better if:
A) Jay hadn't done it already
B) Coffindrop beat your Bison as well.
awesome night , had lotsa fun . see you all at the next one :)
Good to meet some of you guys. Very fun night, thanks Lenny. Will see you all at the next one ;)
hehe missed this one as well :( had to help mvoe house and then was hungry ass, by the time I got there it was near quarter finals lawl.
Guess it doesnt really matter for me since I am seeded already from the previous tournament right Lenny xD
Anyways good to see people wanting to up their game and hope you guys keep up the good work.
I'll definitely try to make it for the enxt one even for the support or casual match fun.

Lolwut?
Unless I haven't been updated, the ranbats are use to seed some people for the up coming Nats?
As I believe previous Nats\Tournaments are used to seed also? or am I wrong xD
even if I am doesn't matter, get more games^^
You are definitely not seeded yet.
The Ranbats are for a "qualifying" Spot.
Being seeded is different altogether.
How are we doing the seeding then?
God. This is going to be a can of worms. >_>
of course,
But I am on the right tract in saying I should be seeded correct? I am sure at least the top 4 from Nats?
Though as I said either way it don't bother me as being not seeded we get more games!!!

One could argue that the last nats was SF4, and we wont be playing SF4 at this years nats. New game, new seeds.

LOL! Yeah I like this reasoning, because it has connotations for the people complaining about us considering ranbats with SF4.
Yea i get what you mean. And i think everyone understands where those people are coming from. I was worried about posting it tbh. But at least ranbats carry over into SSF4. And realistically, we will have had what? 3 ranbats by the time super drops? Thats not that much. If the game is different enough for other people to start climbing the ranks, then they will do so accordingly.
But seeding an EXCLUSIVELY SSF4 tourney based on an EXCLUSIVELY SF4 tourney is where I would personally draw the line.
Seeding is how the bracket is being set up, EG so you dont have all the alleged best players knocking each other out in the first round or two of the tourney.
Automatic Qualification means that the person will automatically miss all pool games, and go straight to the top 16 of the tournament.
Yeah you most likely will be seeded, as will anyone else who has ever been in an NZism tournament, which means sweet fuck all tbh, but you arent gonna be qualifying for a top spot unless you win the ranbats season.
Pretty sweet deal, for nobody but Aucklanders.
man but theres nothing better then comming through pools and winning...so much fun lahh
I wouldnt mind seeing an entrant from Hamilton/Wellington/Chch allowed into the top 16, or at least given a seed for the main tourney.
I wouldn't mind it either, if there was evidence that they deserved it.
Perhaps time will tell?
Hamilton...... Nah, hahaha!
having issues loading up to youtube... it looks like ive been hacked!!
no password doesnt even exist no more FUCK!!
ah cool thanks for clearing it up Lenny, told you I suck at tournament arrangements and stuff!!!
Damn mike, does that mean you lose all your vids?
i still got all the videos~ on my computer
just create a new account. Take less than 5mins.
Hue,
its the upload thats a bitch lol.
im waiting for my new account for my Me.com
then i can reactive my youtube again... argh... fucking hackers you fuck!!
Hey Mike,
Can you burn me a copy of all the vids you got on me? I want to analyze my gameplay xD thanks in advance la.
im going to town this coming tues like from 7pm if ur still gonna be there andy in town...
im gonna go yifans
yeah bro,
Can you burn me a copy tonight and ill pick it up tomorrow (tues)???
cool ma??
Btw got party invites? :P let me know la I want to catch up with some of teh howick ladies, miss them!!!
EDIT:
I am making a seperate thread for an EVENT on the coming Ranbats. check Tournament thread.
Lenny, when you gonna post up the last ranbats results?
When you guys forget where he came so he can say he was first :P
sorry guys,
I was away most of last week looking after someone and left my laptop at home with the results...
Results are up now guys!!!
Remember!! Ranbats again this Friday!!! Promise it wont take as long this time :-)
Can't help but notice that in the latest results, hue and mike both came 5th, but hue got 6 points, and mike only got 5.
I'll be there this Friday! As long as I've finished my geology essay and both my EQ engineering assignments
