F.A.Q

What countries can participate?

This is open only to U.S. residents (Sorry Canada)

What happens if the match is laggy?

You should replay the match using a new host. If that doesnt work attempt to reconnect until you have a stable enviroment. If you cant, put in a ticket and have the match negated. If it happens in the bracket stage, you can try the new host again but ultimately will have to play it out.

Color Edits on Default Characters? Those are O.K as long as they don't serve as something that no longer makes the characters appear how they should normally in the game. Faces should be visible and nothing else that would obstruct the characters identity should be added. This means no hoods, masks, face paint, horns etc.

Create a Soul Characters?

No

Will this count for seeding or invitation to MLG Anaheim?

No. Although anyone that wins or participates is able to sign up for MLG Anaheim. Personally my opinion is no player that wins an online tournament should be seeded in an offline one.

 
I'm registered under the team name, "XEPH." Will we get messaged for when the games will start?
 
I literally have no idea how this system works. I registered and created a team which is just my name ANIMEFREAK

But am i signed into the tournament itself? What do i look for? I can't find jack yo.
 
why aren't people signing up for this shit?

FREE entry.
FREE chance at money.

If you DONT own a ps3, just go to someone's freaking house already and play on that shit for a night or two!

ah well, more chances at money for me.

thx.
 
I wanted to ask about costumes.

CAS is banned. Are CAS parts on main characters banned?
Are color costume edits banned?
Are alternate weapons banned?

The rules do not explicitly say "default costume 1 or default costume 2 and that's it".

oooo great question


signed up and ready to go
 
When both people are done picking characters and stages. The next screen that pops up will tell you both characters and if the stage was random or not. In between the two player cards towards the bottom it will say "Random Stage" or something like that

Well, what do you know. Never noticed that before there.
