Time to announce my GAF give away. If any of you guys participated in my tourney to give away my PC code for SSF4 AE then you'll have a idea of how I'm doing this again. I'm giving away one copy of Street Fighter x Tekken on either Xbox 360 or PS3 and here are my rules
1. I'll be using the SSF4 AE 2012 Tourney mode. I will set it to 4/7 rounds
2. It will be random select
3. Coaching will be allowed
4. The system will be determined by whichever system gets 8 names first, which is what I did last time.
5. USA only
Q: How do I enter?
A: Just say you want to enter and list which system you're participating in(no you can't enter both)
Q: When is it taking place?
A: I think I'll hold it this Saturday. If that isn't a good time then I'll let the winning group try to decide which date best fits them
Q: What if both systems are short on people?
A: Then the one with the most entrances wins. If they tie, then the one that had more before the tie wins.
Q: Will there be a stream?
A: My only method of streaming is using my web cam, but I'm sure my method will lead to a ass stream. Hopefully Kadey won't mind doing it if she has the time. She has experience and both systems so she could do it if she doesn't mind. If that doesn't work out then the only ones who can watch will be me and up to 8 of the participants.
Q: Why is it random select
A: I want to give everybody a chance at winning. Under normal conditions, I'll almost never beat Saty, Jlai or eva. But this way maybe I could beat those guys because they ended up with someone they don't know while I have my main.
Q: Why is coaching allowed?
A: I want the audience(if there is one) and other players to play a part in the match. Don't know how to do Seth's Ultra, ask and maybe someone will help you. Nobody wants to help you, well maybe they want you out and the other guy to win. Maybe 2 or 3 guys will team up to support each other until they face each other. I don't know, I just like this element to be in there if the players choose to use it.
Q: Can I just have money instead?
A: No, the point is to give away a free copy of SFxT to someone who wants the game. Not money so you can take your girl to a movie and dinner or for any other reason for that matter. But if you go behind my back and sell it, that's cool. At least your putting in some work to get that fight money.
Q: These rules are stupid, your online tournament is ass
A: It's free to enter, I'm giving something away. There is nothing to lose. Not your money and certainly not your reputation. Don't like it, don't enter. Don't like it and enter anyways, well you could win a free copy of SFxT and still think this tournament was ass.
I'm doing this as a way to give the little guy a shot, or else why bother and just say it's between the top tier GAF only, tough luck low tier GAF. Besides that the 4/7 is suppose to give people time to adapt to a character they're not familiar with. And coaching is suppose to help as well because you can't just pause the game to see if Cody's HP tornado is unsafe on block. Good luck to whoever enters.
