Hey everyone, this is the Exciting GAF Air Dashers (Arc System Works fighters) tournament!

This is the thread for reporting your results (you can also PM me), and general discussion of the tournament that is currently underway.

General tournament rules/guidelines:
  • Eligible for North American PS3 players only.
  • Tournament format will be a swiss bracket, with the number of rounds depending on total entrants.
  • If a game has fewer than 8 entrants, it will instead be a round robin bracket.
  • Depending on the number of entrants, you will have roughly 3-5 days to complete your match for each round (when the brackets are finalized, I'll post the official number of days).
  • For all games, only the loser of the previous match is allowed to switch characters. Winners must stick with their character for the next game.
  • If you are unable to make it for a round, notify me of it. I will give everyone the option to do 1 match they missed. However, if I am not notified from either party and a match is left undecided, neither player will be afforded this option.
  • You must notify me if you want to use your option, before playing out your match.

Information about scoring:
  • You and your opponent will play a total of 4 games, not a best of 7, but 4 games total.
  • Each game will net you 0.25 points, so 4 games will be 1 point, 3 games 0.75 points, and so on.
  • All your round points will be summed, and the winners determined as such.
  • Any byes/DQs will result in 1 point for the party that is still willing and able to play.

About reporting your results:
  • Either you or your opponent must report the results of your match to me, either in this thread or through PM, within the the round period (listed below for each game).
  • I will update the bracket as soon as I see the results.
  • If there is an issue with what was reported, let me know.
  • If you or your opponent fail to notify me within the round period, you will not be awarded any points.
  • I will try to PM you during the start of the round and the day the round ends.

Some game specific rules:

  • Each round will last 4 days. You have 4 days to conduct your games with your opponent and report them to me.

Sent you a PM and I'll accept the request next time I log on PSN. Like I said in the PM, probably any time that's good with you is good with me.

My first opponent in the BB tournament is with Fugu, who's apparently the favorite to win. Well, I didn't have much faith in my prospects of winning other than P4A anyways.

Because of this format and the dates, I'm going to lose out on a lot of points on the first round.
I already sent out a PM to Karsius, and I'll be sending PMs to other people I'm facing a bit later.

I might have to go wireless this round so forgive me guys :(

I have to play Q in Guilty Gear first round? WELL.......

Contacted him and AutumnAve (my P4A opponent) via PM.
 
Contacted both RoeBear (P4A) and AutumnAve (Guilty), here's hoping this goes well
in Persona since I'm still very rough in AC+ Guilty lol
 
Oh man, I'm so excited right now, I hope I can do okay. I'm sending Canti. and Mo the Hawk PMs right now.

Oh my god I am an idiot. I sent Canti. a message that has persona in the title instead of BlazBlue.

Sent PSN friend requests to everyone in P4 and GG, except for gibration and Cyberman65 because their friend lists are full.

I'm good when you are, Orpheus.

Can the next round of brackets not be generated until all of the previous round matches have finished? I just got word that my GG opponent will be out of town until Wednesday and I hope that won't hold up the works.

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core + rounds are 4 days, so it should be ok.

I think I'm gonna go cry in a corner the rest of the night, lol. I played like garbage today.

:(

That's a horrible matchup for Labrys, but I also pretty much never had to guess which way to block. I'm pretty free to Weaver's Art setups after a knockdown; you should learn those!

Haven't been able to meet up with gibration or bagandscalpel on PSN yet; hopefully we'll be able to have our matches soon enough.

Haven't gotten in touch with Fugu at all.

Joule beat me 3-1 in GG. Can't blame the lag or anything because this is practically the first time I was able to consistently hit most of my links as Slayer online.

Let's play again anytime.

GGs Naite. I was pretty scared of that Slayer damage when you hit the links! You had some Order Sol corner loop going too in our casual match. That Sol pick need more Wild Throws though. I definitely need to practice more. SMTIVortex is strong.

I'll play again whenever~

That O.Sol loop and the gunblaze variant are pretty much the only combos I know with him. The end of that one round where you killed me with Ride the Lightning was hilarious because I thought I totally had you with that midscreen forcebreak.

I was planning on doing some Wild Throws but you kept hitting me out of too much stuff on wakeup and I kept getting a lot of unintentional super jumps. I was planning on using Dragon Install and going all Kusoru on you at the end but you killed me too fast.

FluxWaveZ vs. bagandscalpel

0 - 4

I didn't mash enough! Ha, well at least I didn't get perfected, but I gotta actually learn how to play a bit before my next match.
 
Damn, I think I might have missed Canti. tonight. I sent him a message on PSN but he hasn't responded. I'm gonna have to PM him again since he only mentioned that he would be free tonight.

FluxWaveZ vs. Fugu

0 - 4

I've been spending a week learning how to play and after going against Fugu, despite these results, I actually feel pretty good about my chances in doing well in the BB tournament.

But this is all according to keikaku. Next up, 4-0 in my P4A match.

Just to warn anyone I'm not good at GG, and don't really want to learn atm so expect that when you get matched up with me.
