Sup guys, glad to see you guys are active again! For the past week I've been in contact A&C to confirm space for a tournament on Saturday June 29th. I would have had things confirmed with a tournament announcement thread already posted, but I've been having an issue with them in regards to the venue fee. Normally for Tournaments on Saturday they charge $10 for a venue fee instead of $5, and that's what they want for it. Meanwhile my vision for this tournament is for it to be $5 tournament entry with $5 venue, since this is a tournament to revive the community, I want people to have as much incentive as possible to come out and compete. I'm still waiting for an answer from them to confirm a $5 venue fee, but if we're expected to pay $10, I want the tournament to still happen but perhaps at my place or at Dino's, but ideally I'd rather have it at A&C since new players would be more comfortable attending their first tourney at a public venue rather than somebody's home.
Toronto SC REVIVAL Tournament.
Get hype. Let's see where everyone stands.
Random question.. My understanding is that SC players arent' very fond of tekken juggles. Is that because the juggles are too long? doo too much damage? both? what is it?
Speaking of Tekken, I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt to allow Devil Jin at this point in the game's life, primarily as a means to draw more players in.
If he's allowed I could post tournament announcement threads on Tekken forums with an emphasis on Devil Jin being allowed.
This is just an idea for now, what do you guys think?
Expect a tournament announcement thread for the June 29 tourney in the next few days!
Personally I don't like the idea, but in the current state we're in, if we gave newcomers the benefit of the doubt and more players show up just as Jaxel did by banning certain characters back in SC4 for the East Coast, then I have nothing much against it.This is just an idea for now, what do you guys think?
Devil Jin was never banned because of gameplay reasons (infact SC5's director once tweeted that DJ was balanced for tournament play), but rather simply because CaS is banned, and nobody ever wanted to agree on a standard Devil Jin CaS setting. If we agree in an official DJ CaS formula for tournaments, such as size 3 male with DJ DLC items then we can make it work. Considering how long it takes to unlock characters like Alpha Pat and Algol, I don't think tournament organizers would be too inconvenienced with having to make a quick CaS character.The only reason I am hesitant to agree is why was he banned in the first place and has that factor changed from then until now? if not, then I imagine devil jin would stay banned.
*Snip*
STILL THROWING OUT THESE ARCHAIC ARGUMENTS LIKE THEY ARE HELPFUL. PEOPLE WHO USE DJ AND DAMPIERRE AND EDGE MASTER SHOULD BE TOLD TO GO FUCK THEMSELVES, NOT PRAISED FOR THEIR IRRATIONAL PREFERENCES. TOURNAMENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO PROMOTE RAW SKILL, NOT LEAVE PEOPLE MORE SUSPICIOUS THAN THEY WERE BEFORE.
I’M SURE YOU’RE GOING TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS NOW TO TRY AND SUGGEST WHY FINDING OBSCURE EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE IS IMPORTANT, AS IF THE HARDCORE PLAYERS’ CONTENTMENT ISN’T ALREADY GOOD ENOUGH. THIS ARGUMENT OF APPEALING TO THE CASUALS IS OLD AND STUPID. NOTHING NEW HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE TABLE. JUST ENCOURAGE THE COMPETITORS TO COMPETE, AND DISCOURAGE THE FRAUDS FROM WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME.
FEW PEOPLE ARE COMPETITIVE. THAT’S A FACT OF LIFE. IF THE SCENE HAS TO DIE, LET IT DIE PEACEFULLY. DON’T SELL OUT TO PEOPLE JUST TO REVIVE IT TEMPORARILY WITH SUPERFICIALITY. IT WON’T WORK IN THE LONG-TERM. ILLUSIONS COME TO AN END AND PEOPLE WONDER WHAT HAPPENED AS IF THEY WEREN’T BEING DISHONEST ABOUT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
STREAM VIEWERS ULTIMATELY DO NOTHING FOR THE SCENE AS WELL. I DON'T SEE AN INFLUX OF NEW PLAYERS GIVING ME A CHALLENGE IN THE ARENA THANKS TO STREAMING. TREATING VIEWERS AS A PRIORITY SHOULD BE FROWNED ON. STREAMS ARE A FUN BONUS AT BEST.
Why don't you want to support the tournmanet Eli?
