[quoteAnd what's about the disadvantage for players who don't have SF4 compare to the one who got the game at home ?? Imagine u go to a tournament in tekken/mvc2/3rd strike and have to fight against some characters/teams that u have no idea how to counter their moves. Do u think u can win ? (I'm not talking about some noobs who keep spamming the buttons using them, i'm talking about average-high level games.)[/quote]

I guess you would just have to watch videos/read stuff.

Thing is this is a console tourney. I think it would be a shame to ban all the console characters just because some people don't have it. We might as well play down at yifans...I don't know about the others who have the console version but I have basically no experience against 'high level' cammy, seth, gouken, fei long and sakura players. Ive played a decent dan once, rose and gen maybe 10-20 times in total. We are basically in the same boat except I've played the computer versions of the characters a bunch of times which means nothing. I don't think many if any are going to play console characters but in no way should they be excluded on the account of a few. If we do now are we going to ban the console characters for all future tournaments?

No, im saying that if you dont have it at home, and you want to learn to counter characters that you havent played before, then your only real option is to go to youtube/SRK and find match videos that would help you conter them.

I agree with you that its a bitch to play stuff you havent seen before.

Watching a few videos DEFINITELY doesnt make you tournament-worthy, but if you have no other options, its essentially all you can do to prepare.

Does it really matter that much?  Shit this ain't evo. Let's stop over analyzing it and just have some fun games with good people. Maybe a beer or two. The world isn't gonna end if you don't come into the tourney prepared for every tiny circumstance. Let's just turn up and have fun.

Agreed,
As I mentioned tournament rules are not always perfect... Lets give those new char a try and see how it goes this time. I'm sure we can hold more of these in the future, for myself i have not played one single game nor watch a single video of game play of those new chars lol... but I am doing this for the fun and stuff.

For now lets keep the rules as they are, unless we find something lame we have to ban them? I am considering banning the infinite combo for chars who can do them, like at most you are allowed to execute them twice and must stop or you are considered losing that round? something like that.

Bleh I say!!! The char with infinetes suck cock ATM anyway. It's like any game with an infinite, you know they can do it, so don't get caught in it imo

I'm with lenny, if you know they can infinite you then you have to deal with that.

MvC2 does wonderful things to your opinion on banning stuff :)

The rules are fine as they are. If we spent more time finding people to enter than arguing about the rules, the draw would be massive already.

And while we're at it what's with people using adjectives as nouns? That's lame. Like a lame horse that is wounded and so becomes lame.
