Can I sign up to the doubles tourney with a CPU partner? :(

Can you even do that? Like, is there an option to turn on cpus online? :O

...

How am I supposed to handle this? >.>;;; Like, I don't want this to turn into a slippery slope where suddenly everyone's just entering solo with a CPU, that defeats the purpose of doubles. On the other hand, given how Shamrock is just about #1 it almost seems fair to give him an exception, but then there's the issue of characters...

What the hell am I supposed to do??

There can only be one CPU on one team in the tourney, just like everyone else can only be in the tourney on one team. Imagine CPU as a Gaf member, and I have chosen him.

If he wants to enter with a CPU, then there should be no problem as long as he is the only one.

2 pairs both with a CPU should not be allowed because they could pair up instead.

Weird that there's no one available though :(

I hate doubles as a format, but if Shamrock really can't find a partner then I could try teaming with him if my work schedule permits.

I think using CPUs kind of defeats the purpose of the doubles tourny.

There are still a bunch of people without partners.
I don't think you'll have a problem finding one Shamrock!

You know what? I'll allow this. However, here's the deal.

During the week before the tournament launch (should be April 3 if all goes well), I'm going to ask everyone registered to check in with me to ensure they're still ready and willing to play. If there's an odd man out, I'd prefer to ask you to team with that person if possible. This is also where I remove people if they don't check in during the week or don't let me know beforehand due to other obligations, since my understanding is that this is the time of the year for spring break and there are a few people here who take vacay every-so-often.

Of course, to ensure we don't have everyone suddenly entering solo to pair with Shamrock, I'm just gonna pair the spares with each other first to try and get teams set up.

If by this point Shamrock miraculously doesn't have a partner or there's nobody left to pair him with, I'll let the CPU play. Until then though, Shamrock, I recommend you keep your options open at least. I know this is kind of a niche tourney compared to what we had in the past, but we should have enough for everyone to pair up at least.


There, I think I've said everything I wanted to say. :)


edit: Oh, and the form for registering is available by quoting this post. It should be around here...

Sure.

And I am willing to team up with someone in doubles. I would be using Yoshi. If none wants to team up, I am okay with not joining.

Do you want this to be our Ranbats set?

...I had to dig through your posts for a bit, but I'm guessing you mean you're with Tipster? Can he confirm this?

It's just a temporary bracket, lol. Seeding isn't set in stone yet, but depending on whether or not Shamrock sticks to his guns with the CPU or finds a partner (really hope it's the latter) I'll have to think really hard about where to place him.

And CPU has chosen DONKEY KONG as his main.

Shamrock wins 5-0. Really not looking like I will even get 1 win this bracket. Good games.

You still want to play?

That's an experience many people have, hang in there.

We just need to play lots of teams together. Neither of us are as good as Shamrock, but we can become a better team than Shamrock and whoever his partner is if we work at it.

How are you feeling in terms of Palutena vs. Robin for teams? I think we should make up our minds and stick to one soon.

It's cool, I haven't won either of my matches. Last season had a lot of freebies.

Fun games, that DK is hellish, super hard to approach and play against. Mario with fast fire balls makes the match up even more annoying and that was a pretty nice pikachu, surprised you only brought him out once.

The Mii fighters were cool but I guess it's hard to get practice with them.
It pisses me off that Mii Gunner is like Samus but with better moves

GGs Boney, Samus and Pit still really good. I was testing out Mii Swordfighter, it's actually not as bad as I said it was at first, it's pretty fun.
Surprised I managed to snag 2 wins with her tbh.

Playing against her I didn't thought she was that bad either, has strong aerials, a good jab and some nifty tools with the specials. Horrible smashes though
