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'll bet on Kinetic only if you guys play in the training room, with input delay, on an HDTV.

Why would you want to lower your odds with all the unnecessary conditions?

 

what's up my salt brothers! can we just stay on topic and keep talking about how salty we feel?

i lost to the asians...they are trying to annihilate my race. i think it's working.

and what about under water man, KinecticClash? how does one beat him? i can imagine beating him in person and then he woud look at me and say, "let's take this shit online"

you deserved it.

 

I was arrested for entering this.

I'm posting from jail.

 

those lax canadian prisons! I hope they extradite you to the U.S., so you can get the death penalty.


SO SERIOUS.

 

And Idk why people were complaining about "NotPartison" being in the tournament because Link, the really good Ivy from... France (I think?) is in the tournament killing everyone lol.

Français? Moi? Mais je n'ai jamais eu au France. Je ne peux pas parler français. Pourquoi est-ce que vous pensez je suis français?

 

I always knew Link was french, his godlike reactions and manly body help prove this.

:O... I envy your Ivy.

 

Kinectic, get your french ass in the tournament. woahhzz waiting on you.

I was there waiting for him. We were both sending invites to the wrong names. He won anyway.

 

So, the site won't let me report the second set score. S-U reset the bracket, then I won the second set 3-1 (we assumed it was another 3/5 match). They want us to submit any issue through the match icon, but I can't even get in because "the match has not yet been scheduled." I'm posting it here since no one from support is online and I'm tired of refreshing.

Anyway, good games to everyone I played. I swear, even online, I end up in death brackets. I'd like to have an easy path for once, but no, they give my side all the world champions and national representatives. =\

 

I'll just post that I can confirm this if someone from support happens to read here. Link won the 2nd set.

i'd like to be first to thank MLG for this opportunity, again! I hope they have another, and I hope it got them the numbers they needed to make it worthwhile on their end too.

grats to the money winners.
