Wow, I didn't expect that kind of drop off for Persona. Sure there were bound to be a lot of drop outs(lol, I'm one of them) after the first week or so, but I still expected the guys who stuck around to show up in droves for a little while.

I think it was like "fuck waiting in one room with 100+ people"

Really? I was expecting it to stabilize around there.

I'd like to write that I expected it, but I didn't expect it that steep a drop, that quickly.
 
Well, it did have a tournament on Sunday too.
And then there is Revelations this weekend.

o yeah revelation. I'm surprise the community is doing it after what happen with Levelup.

The schedule is ass for P4A tho =(

SUNDAY FINALS:

10:00am-10:45am: Persona 4 Top 4

11:00am-11:45am: SFxT Top 8

11:45am-1:15pm: Lunch Break

1:15pm-2:00pm:MK9 Top 8

2:15pm-3:00pm: Intermission

3:00pm-4:00pm: KOF Top 8

4:00pm-5:00pm: SSF4 AE Top 8

5:30pm-Closing: UMvC3 Top 8, Closing Ceremony
 
That schedule for Revelations on Sunday is completely ridiculous. 45 minutes for SFxT top 8? One hour for kof? Who's planning this stuff?

This is something that has always bugged me about the FGC. Why do people complain about having to wake up at 10 AM to play their games? I'm not talking about popularity placement here, I'm talking about just learning to wake up early. Is it that hard?

I'm talking about stream time. Its hard to gauge how well a game does viewer wise when the game is shown before 12noon PST. I would register for Revelation if I had a way there and can make it.

My guess is everyone wants to party after the pools or get some money matches in so that keeps them up late.

One big factor is that at majors people often play money matches and casuals late into night. I know I've had issues where I had to play on Sunday but the people I traveled with were all eliminated so I couldn't really sleep early while they played all night.

This also happens in college and pro football when west coast teams travel to the east coast to play early games. There's a pretty established pattern where the west coast team performs worse than usual. It's having to perform at a time when you're not used to.

Just because you don't drink don't hate on people that do. =)

10 AM isn't that bad, but fuck 8 AM pools.

The good news is that I can just watch P4A and skip everything until Mahvel. May or may not catch KOF. Depends on how busy I am.

Edit: Eww only top 4 for Persona.
 
Yes, very.

Fuck that. I'd tell them to knock that shit off.

It ain't even about drinking, dude! It's about proper planning. If I managed to make it to the finals for a game and I found out it was early in the morning, I would make sure to plan my sleep schedule around that. Nothing wrong with saying "hey I can't play/party/bullshit for too much longer, gotta get to sleep for my pools tomorrow."

I agree though, 8 AM pools are stupid as all get out.
