What's new

Are we as a community ready to enforce 3/5 for the entire tournament?

Are we ready to enforce 3/5 injustice at majors?

What is going on guys, Ya Boi Zyphox here.
i have been reading up on some stuff about 3/5 sets and i think we can pull it off, just like the tekken community has. but just one thing needs to change.

The down time in between pools and while pools are being played like winners or losers of pools we have all the set ups playing casuals instead of round 1 of pools 3 because everyone is on casuals or watching losers finals of pool 2 to see who wins. i think that once it becomes losers finals of pools is where the next pool should be starting round 1 all or most matches. that way by the time pool 2 is finished we are already in the 2nd round of pool 3. every tournament i have been to has had down time in between pools to some extent until its crunch time and we need to play all the matches, even a match like me vs Pig was off stream (probably because they knew how free it would have been anyway) because we needed to rush through because pools took so long (because of the delays and downtime), and rushing players in top 32 in a 2/3 set is awful. i was told right after my loss to reo to play pig immediately halfway walking out the door to go take a shit. anyway if we can get right through pools like i heard UFGT went through them, we will have no problem demanding 3/5.

Next is do we have the balls to enforce this rule? we are already in consensus that 3/5 is the best. but what if no other major wants to give it to us? do we go behind their back and do it anyway? do we not attend? do we "boycott" the event opan-swifttomhanks style?

please discuss for the 30th time on this topic so we can get a vote perhaps and force every major from here on out 3/5 because the NRS community is boss like that.

@GGA HAN ( would it be possible to transition all locals to 3/5 format as well? )
I have standards I will enforce whether I attend or not

1. Who is in charge of the tourney and brackets and all?

2. And is it 3/5 or 3/5 at a certain point like top 16 and on(Evo being exception unless they listen to us which is looking positive and that 2/3 could change)

If we do 3/5 the person in charge of the tournament will have to be more judicious in which gamers get stream time. Watching someone get bodied (like me) 3 straight matches in a row will be like 10 minutes of stream time and it won't be as interesting.

@DarthArma @KDZ can we get the break to be 3/5 from now on? maybe even start slightly earlier if necessary?
I don't know how this will effect attendance. More games will usually lead to a later end time meaning those that take the train in from NYC will most likely not attend because they will definitely miss their last train back home. Its a local, if you want to get more games in just show up early for casuals.

yeah but at the same time we have to wait for jaxel with set ups and even if we were to bring our own early am sure we can't be their at 5pm trying to play casuals. i think we need to test it one night @KDZ to see how it goes, only then can we really determine how well it goes.

I have always been ready. From the first pool match to the grand finals, all Injustice tournaments should be 3/5.

But some players dislike 3/5 because they feel that 2/3 favors their characters. These players should be put on blast.
Noooooooooooooo Dave. No more people being put on blast. Let's soak in the positivity... Let me enjoy the No Blast while it last because in my heart I know it wont last forever.

Very Break-specific here, but actually it was mentioned last night that since Injustice is the only game running right now we have room for more setups. And there are systems available but the limiting factor is kind of carting the setups around.

I know I'm forgetting other TOs but they should be tagged cause the reality is that it's their decision in the end

It's their decision but if community members are gonna be running pools/brackets then it falls on us just as much if not more so. If they say "yes, 3/5" we have to be ready and organized to handle that. Look at what FR turned into with just a 2/3 format, we can't be having that with a 3/5 format or we're gonna get a LOT of offscreen stuff and may even a REALLY early next day start to make up for lost time.

Top-tier at everything but the characters I choose
Personally I prefer 2/3 up until finals of pools in which 3/5 is enforced from that point on. Or from Top 16 on, if that's the compromise we must take with TOs for time purposes (excluding Evo right now because of everything that's transpiring in my thread).

We have run 3/5 the entire way at CEO events with me running the brackets and have been on-time.
I have also DQ'ed people without shame. Don't go missing during pool time. Straight up.
Running a tight ship is an absolute MUST. I'm a little lenient because that's how I generally am, but again this tweet is my existence in this community (https://twitter.com/KitanaPrime/statuses/445746272340025344)
I will enforce, because that's what professionals do. We need to be professional. These tournaments aren't free.
I for one can certainly handle making brackets, calling matches, having matches on deck for stream, etc.

PS...
CAN YOU GUYS STOP WITH THE FUCKING HOLLYWOOD BUTTON CHECKS.
...its the only thing that really fucks with me personally.

So technically the "Top Players" are like the shot callers or OG in the FGC? everything goes by them before anything gets approved huh?
