[Oct. 22nd 2011] TEST YOUR RAGE - Hosted By VATR & MAK (Fairfax, VA)

[Hatake Osawa]

You mean other Subzero, mine is quite different. I make his bad match ups be in my favor. Just wait, cause one mistake equal frozen.

Yup CDjr has a scary Jax, i was expecting Reo taking this one as well.

Hey, maybe we should be Tag partners, Fire and Ice/ Unstoppable Team. what you say?

I don't know man. I play very discreet against Sub-Zero. Especially with someone that uses him well. So it'll be a hat toss on that one whatever the outcome is.

It was a close call on that match. Geez freaking CDjr just taking hits on Kabal like that. 0.o

Hahaha. After you mentioned the tag team proposal with my Scorpion and your Sub-Zero. A "secret" combination came to mind with those two. It would be rather interesting. But I would only share it with you if you wanted to know. =P

Regional showdown at TYR!

After talking with [MENTION=2426]SWBeta[/MENTION] and Dangstro (VATR Admin) about it we've come to an agreement with how we'll run the Regional showdown. We want to fit as many people as we can into this without having to play a shit ton of matches. So here's what the format will be in order to fit it into the schedule:

- Virginia vs Maryland
- 5v5
- Line up must be created prior to start
- If you lose, you are eliminated
- If you win you go to the back of the line
- Keep playing until an entire team has been eliminated

Now this all came about thanks to a challenge from CitizenSnips, Blackula quickly accepted, so if they're willing to we would like Snips and Blackula to be the team captains for each region. Now there will be a much larger VA turnout for obvious reasons, so if MD is unable to form a team of 5 pulling from other regions is acceptable.

If they both accept Blackula and Snips can create their teams however they wish, they can choose by hand, let people volunteer or even wait till the day of and pick all the highest placed players from their region. However they see fit to.

At future independent MAK events, where we're not splitting resources, we'd like to dive into a more in depth region based competition. So this will definitely be a taste of things to come.

Lets hear those fightin' words people, this shit's on! VA vs MD!

 

[N0rdicNinja]

Nordic you can toss me in for a PS3 as well. Mason isn't that much of a pain to get to. If someone can grab me at the Subway the better, though I can probably just zip car it.

If you could it would be much appreciated good sir!

 

[CitizenSnips]

Alright sounds good.

From what I've seen there are 5 players from MD going. If they all want to participate then that shall be our team. If some do not want to participate then I will ask Lionheart first because he is a good friend of mine or the PA guys.

GONNA BRING DAT BALTIMORE BEATDOWN WOOOOOOOOOO

 

[SwiftTomHanks]

If MD-team wants me, I'll gladly be on their 5v5.

Stay free VA.

 

[Blackula]

but if we did it the other way we would be forced into 3v3 as a 5v5 would just take to long.

Huh? That doesn't make sense.

 

[N0rdicNinja]

Unless there's something I'm missing in a 5v5

Everyone plays everyone = 25 total games
Elimination style = 5 to 9 total games depending

Edit:

Updated my Regional Match post above thanks to a suggestion from [MENTION=1321]Blackula[/MENTION]. Much better middle ground between elimination style and round robin style.

So if someone manages to beat 5 people in the row is over , but if someone beats someone then it resets again right, until the 25 games or until someone beats 5 people in a row?

that sounds like a mess, if you guys are doing it anything like the SF crowd does it it's just 5 v 5 winner stays loser drops and the next on the team comes in. Thus it's completely possible for one guy to waste everybody, but in general you save your best for your anchor.

[Creepy00]

may someone explain how the 5v5 would work? Bit confuse

 

[Korpse]

agree with [MENTION=7318]digitaldemize[/MENTION] the way SF did it at Seasons Beatings just made so much sense so i feel it should be done that way, it was also great to see Poongko make America look free

I originally wanted to do it the way they did the 5v5 at Seasons Beatings which is everyone plays everyone and the first team to win the majority of wins (depending on how many people are participants) secures the win. But because of concerns of time constrants, we're not using this format.

I was against straight up elimination because some people may not even get the opportunity to play, especially if one person ends up taking out the entire team.

We're going to be using the Waseda style of elimination which is a semi in-between happy medium between the two formats. Everyone will get a chance to play. The way this format works is that both teams will give a preset order for their teams. Snips will determine the order for his team, and I will determine the order for my team. The first person of each team will begin. The person who loses is eliminated, however the winner will not stay on and face the second person. The winner will go to the back of the line of his team to wait for his next turn. Then the next two people of each team will play and this will continue until one team is completely eliminated. As I've said, with this format, everyone will get the opportunity to play instead of one person possibly taking out an entire team.

 

[CitizenSnips]

The Waseda style sounds very good. Can't wait!

 

[vegeta]

So due to this recent turn of events I'm supposed to "fight" with Hatake Osawa for the 5th spot on the team? *Irritated Look*. I've had enough in-fighting for a LONG time per say. Hatake if you want in on this then go for it. Our scorpions are different but so far pretty even so either way it's the same for the team. We can settle up with each-others scorpions anytime we want the legit way. Have at it if that's what you want my man.

 

[CitizenSnips]

Uh oh looks like there's some conflict in team VA!

Also Vegeta were you the Scorpion player at Rivercity Runbacks?

 

[Blackula]

Snips, you have Facebook?

 

[CitizenSnips]

Snips, you have Facebook?

Yeah. Andrew Heo

 

[Blackula]

Yeah. Andrew Heo

Hmmmm, there's a lot of them on Facebook. Do a search for a Jamie Washington. I'm black and I'm wearing a cap and gown in my picture holding my degree.

 

[N0rdicNinja]

To reiterate what Blackula said we simply cannot afford to do it the SF way at this particular event, there simply isn't enough time with VATR and MAK splitting projector time. For TYR Waseda seems like the best option, everyone from both teams will get at least 1 game in but we don't need to play any more games then we would if we did it elimination style. And it's fairly straight forward, if you lose you're eliminated and if you win you go to the back of your team line.

In future events the way SF did it is definitely an option! But this came up after there was an already established exhibition schedule for both VATR and MAK so there is concerns for time; in other words this has to be executed in the quickest possible way.

 

[Blackula]

For the VA vs MD 5v5, the VA team will have 2 SOVA reps, 1 Richmond rep, and 2 NOVA reps. I already have the spots filled for SOVA and RVA. If you're interested in filling one of those two NOVA spots, let me know. So far, Mysticism has expressed interest in one of those spots. If anyone else wants to vie for one of those spots, post here and/or the MAK Facebook page.

I thought you were in NOVA? It depends right now. Right now I already have 5 people in my car. My car can fit 6 people but that would entail putting one more person in the front seat. Though it's doable. We did it when we went to NY like 5 years ago. That was a fun car trip. lol
