Top-tier at everything but the characters I choose
Discussion is among us. Plain and simple here, MLG is 2/3. Is the continuation rule still in effect?

Why would MK9 be 3/5 and Injustice not be? Are there some sort of time constraints this time around?

The coninuation rule isn't there anymore I believe. I think they stopped that shortly after shooters stopped being their main titles. Starcraft players weren't having any of that.
 
Anyone who gets heated needs to understand that generally it's the financial implications (I'm assuming) that end up in decisions like this.
Think about it, if on average 3/5 takes 1&1/2 times as long as 2/3, then that means 1&1/2 times more venue hours, which adds up to big $$

Hmm. What about bracket seeding/separating team players from playing each other early from pools?
Heard it was an issue in the MK MLG days where players from the same coast/teammates played and took each other out early in pools...
Can we discuss that too? >_>

I wouldn't want players getting screwed over like that

We'll burn you all—that is your fate!

We should be on the same team so i don't have to play you first round. I don't want to lose that way again. >_>

2/3 gives more chance for diversity. 3/5 the top tier characters will end up prevailing which will lead to a much less balanced top 8 than what people hope. If top tier characters have 6/4, 7/3 MU's etc then the longer the set the more you will see the top characters taking over. MMH, Aquaman going to run shit at MLG with 3/5 sets. Just be careful what you wish for. #ominous

Man. I want to go to these so badly. H8 adult job. In the future I'm just going to save up a tournament fund just in case the MLG season randomly appears like this again. Totally didn't see it coming. Figured after the last go around, MLG was dropping fighters forever.
