Having no practice matches will make it less likely to turn into a cluster fuck, so I'll just say: don't assume anything. If you want to practice, make sure the other person understands. Same deal with headsets and all that, it's not part of the rules or anything. Please don't come into the thread and say "I'm not sure who won." It's up to you guys to make sure you understand the rules, and if you want a practice game, make sure the other person knows it doesn't count (it's 100% up to you guys). For what it's worth I won't be needing any practice rounds.

This is about to get started! By my clock it's about 8 hours until Feb (probably a day earlier than most of you), so I'll have to say no more signups after this post, the brackets will be up later tonight.

 

[bistromathics]

signups closed? no fair i didn't see this thread.

;_;

Spoiler

live tag = bistromathics in case OP takes pity...i'm really bad btw

 

[CPS2]

Haha yeah you can join, it's not quite Feb yet. I'm crashing a friend's house and won't have time to do brackets until tomorrow, so give me another 12 hours or so and it'll be ready. After that it'll be pretty much automatic, very straight forward.

 

[Avatar1]

Can't wait! Hopefully I don't go out first round at least. That's my meager goal.:lol

 

[negitoro7]

No shame going out in the first round, it's gonna be no seeding. I don't like my chances if I'm matched up against the likes of haunts or phatsaqs. :lol

You should be fearful of Eggo, Grifter, A_rival, and me as well. We got a lot of good comp on gaf

 

[bistromathics]

cool cool...sign me up! I have only been playing for the last week, but its a pretty fun game. When is this going down?

Please let me know if your name does not appear here, or appears twice, or anything strange like that (it should be fine...). Also please remember the rules, each game is best 2 out of 3 rounds, each match is best 2 out of 3 games. Double check the OP to make sure you know the rules. If you have any questions please ask! Play a match against your rival and then post the results here please. Start whenever you're ready! You can use this thread to plan matches, but please make the results easy for me to find (put them in bold).

 

[Relix]

If I participate it would be my first time playing. Do I have to download the game or can I just forfeit my first match? I think if I just forfeit it will make it easier on everyone.

Tell me when you are ready!

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

[tahrikmili]

[Enk]

[adversesolutions]

[negitoro7]

adversity, I just finished dinner, see you online in about 10 minutes.

Are you hosting or am I? Should we have a practice match since you're in Japan and it's quite a distance?

 

[SonOfABeep]

[CPS2]

[Avatar1]

avatar took our matches, good games man

Great games, Bookey! Came down to the last hit of the last round of the last match!! It was fun just messing around afterward too. Even our messing around we ended up with pretty even win/loss (you having edge though). Was great.

 

[aerofx]

Alright. I'll be back on around 1130 est

-_- just got home and my comcast connection is still screwed from last night. It's slow as sin right now, I called them up this morning expecting them to have it fixed by the time I got back but it seems they're not doing anything about it.

 

[tahrikmili]

oh :lol I was wondering who you were

when are we goin?

I'm on now.. let me log on to XBL.

 

[n3ss]

[tahrikmili]

We played our match with bistromathics, 2/3 rounds out of 2/3 games. I won 2-0, but he's an incredibly sporting guy and very much fun to play with and talk to. He's definitely a keeper on my friend list. Thanks for renewing my faith in people on XBL mate!

 

[bistromathics]

its true, i got a turkish beatdown :'(

GGs aero! Saqs 2-0.

The bracket is incorrect.

I, Avatar2 won the match against Bookie(therealbookey)

Sorry if any confusion was due to to me.

 

[Ronabo]

Ronabo vs xero273 Ronabo wins 2-0

xero273 did switch characters after the first match. Reading the rules that is illegal correct?

 

[xero273]

Ronabo vs xero273 Ronabo wins 2-0

xero273 did switch characters after the first match. Reading the rules that is illegal correct?

oops, sorry about. I misunderstood the rules.

-you cannot switch characters unless you lose a game.

I thought what it meant was after the first game which was blanka vs chun li, that I could switch character. Oh well sorry about that.

Ronabo vs xero273 Ronabo wins 2-0

It was fine for xero273 to switch characters. It would have been against the rules if you switched, because you won both games.

The bracket is incorrect.

I, Avatar2 won the match against Bookie(therealbookey)

Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out.

new matchup ready: Ronabo (Ronabo) vs JEKKI (JEKKISTYLE)

From Drax:

"I was pretty sure that the post I made was sarcasm. I don't even have the game; I hate fighting games.

If it causes any problems, I forfeit. You win. Congrats."

[Duelist]

Hey negitoro7, I accepted your FR. You up for our match some time today? I'm in EST time zone if that helps.

 

[negitoro7]

hey Duelist, you got PM.

How about in an hour from now, ~5:30 PST, 8:30 EST? Practice match or no?

 

[negitoro7]

Duelist XI won our match 2-0.

GG, I clearly don't know how to defend against Vega, and that's my main. :lol

 

[Duelist]

Yeah great games man. Sorry about the lag stuff, I was just as confused as you, lol.

 

[Ronabo]

It was fine for xero273 to switch characters. It would have been against the rules if you switched, because you won both games.

Ah ok.

Thanks.

 

[CPS2]

Thanks for keeping it moving guys, a lot of matches been played so far.

If there's no objections, I'm gonna put some of my games up on youtube. Just so people have something to see when they come to the thread. Looking at a bracket and no games can be a little boring.
