CHRISTMAS DAMAGER - "All I want for christmas is a wake up ultra"

Following on from the successful NZism 2010 Nationals, NZism presents the final fighting game tournament of 2010 to wrap the year up.

Games:

Super Street Fighter IV 2v2 Team Tournament
Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting 1v1 Tournament
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift 1v1 Tournament

When:

11 December 2010 - Registration opens at 11-30pm, expect SSFII/BB:CS games to start at 12:30pm.

Where:

Giga Internet Cafe, Level 2, 65 Wakefield Street, Auckland Central

Entry Fee:

$20 per team for SSFIV, $10 per person for SFII:HF and BB:CS.

Prizes:

Cash prizes based on a pot split, 60/30/10.

Miscellaneous:

All games will be run on Xbox 360. It is not clear at this stage if BB:CS DLC characters will be allowed in tournament play, this will be confirmed once BB:CS has been released on Xbox 360.

All tournaments are double elimination format.

As usual, bring your own controllers as we can never have enough of these!

Rules (SSF4):
- Two people per team;
- Team orders must be decided before each match;
- 2/3 rounds per game;
- Each player must nominate one character for use in the tournament before the first game is played;
- Team members cannot pick the same character ie: no ryu/ryu;
- In this format, Player A from each team will face-off, followed by Player B from each team. If at the end of these games the scores are 1-1, a tie-breaker will be played between the winners of the first 2 games.
- Team order can be decided by the players, and double blind selection is available by request.
- Other standard NZism rules apply (button checks, pausing, etc)

Rules (Hyper Fighting and BB:CS):
- Games will be first to win 2 out of 3 rounds, and matches will be first to win 2 out of 3 games.  Finals will be first to win 3 out of 5 games for the match
- Other standard NZism rules apply (button checks, pausing, etc)

Questions? :)

I made the poster.  I was happy with the pic, but yeah the layout of the writing etc sucks balls.

In other news.  I'm gonna be going hard for Hyper Fighting, and will likely be playing Guy in the doubles tourney.  Not quite sure if I'll play in the BB:CS tourney though.  Not feeling it atm, but I guess I'll wait and see.

Rawrr!!!

hey lenny just wondering if "no easy mode" is in the rules for BB:CS
Title: Re: NZism Presents - "CHRISTMAS DAMAGER" - 11th December 2010
Post by: Lennysaurus on October 18, 2010, 02:05:14 PM
Shit tbh I hadn't given it any thought TBH flash.

What is the current standard overseas atm?  I'm pretty sure it wouldn't really matter would it?  Given how limited easy mode is.

Post by: Rorooze on October 18, 2010, 02:21:55 PM
I spoke to OriginalJulz about this already, easy mode is allowed. Anyone who uses it will be fairly limited compared to the players that don't play using easy mode.
Title: Re: NZism Presents - "CHRISTMAS DAMAGER" - 11th December 2010
Post by: originaljulz on October 18, 2010, 08:24:35 PM
Yeah I think typically it's not allowed, but IMO if you're going to use beginner mode you're gonna get fucked up anyway lol. So really, it's not going to make winning a tournament any easier.

Post by: fluxcore on October 18, 2010, 09:09:01 PM
Yeah pretty much all the tourneys I looked up don't allow it, so that's the direction I'd go, but whatever.
Title: Re: NZism Presents - "CHRISTMAS DAMAGER" - 11th December 2010
Post by: Flash on October 18, 2010, 11:02:23 PM
yea i personally didn't want it to be allowed but whatever, i'm not really familiar with it all i know is that it can let people completely new to the game  pull out some allright combos that they wouldn't be able otherwise. how does it limit them i havn't tried it before so i have no idea how it works.
Title: Re: NZism Presents - "CHRISTMAS DAMAGER" - 11th December 2010
Post by: Rorooze on October 18, 2010, 11:53:54 PM
I don't really see the problem with allowing 'easy' controls, but if the majority don't want it allowed then we can make it that way. I don't really care.

Also, if you think the "easy" controls are such an advantage then I don't know why you would want to use the harder ones in the first place?
Title: Re: NZism Presents - "CHRISTMAS DAMAGER" - 11th December 2010
Post by: originaljulz on October 19, 2010, 10:40:40 AM
Lol, basically instead of having A, B, C, D you have something like Normal (mash to make a random BnB combo), Special (random variation of their Drive), throw (instead of just B and C) and another random move button which I can't remember.

It's shit because you can only do 1 real combo by mashing the 'normal' button, you do your supers by holding the normal button and charging this bar, and only then does it come out so easily blocked etc, you lose your ability to burst, and I think you can't barrier guard either.

Might just be easier to say no easy mode, if everybody wants it out, Rory.

Post by: geneterror on October 19, 2010, 12:00:22 PM
Yeah it's so bad, it cripples any decent combos you really want to use. It's such a massive disadvantage let people choose it, it's only going to harm anyone halfway decent.

hi, my friend asks me that if there is anyway to connect a PS3 controller to xbox? becoz the xbox controller is crap for fighting games.....
or can we just play BBCS on PS3 instead?

The tournament is being run on Xbox 360. Your mate will need to figure out a way to get a PS3 pad working on xbox (you can probably do this but I don't know how), learn to play on a stick or use an xbox 360 pad. We're not swapping to PS3 to run the tournament.

If your mate wants, he can get this controller converter to use a PS2 pad on XBOX360.

just an idea if theres enough time and a spare setup,

what if we have a 5v5 SSF4 team tourny Aucks vs rest of NZ if theres enough players for rest of NZ.
Could get pretty hype.

That would be awesome imo  :) If there aren't enough players then should just do a 5v5 PSN vs Xbox Live players  ;D
