UMK3 - Best in the World (MAME)

This game determines the best players with specific characters in UMK3-MKAK (for PSN) as far as membership on TestYourMight is concerned.

RULES
  • If available, feel free to claim one of the unclaimed characters as your own to serve as a "temporary" champion. Your official crowning as champion will not take effect until you defeat another player in competition. If after 30 days, nobody has challenged the "temporary" champions, they will be awarded the title by default. You may only claim one vacant character at a time.
  • Each TITLE BOUT is 11 MATCHES. The first 5 MATCHES will be MIRROR matches played with the chosen character. After that, whoever is in the lead will stay with the chosen charcter. The other player counterpicks them with whoever they want until they manage to win. If the counterpicker wins, then the counterpicker plays as the chosen character and the opponent counterpicks until they manage to win. The idea is to see which player knows the character best from an offensive AND defensive standpoint. If at any time one player amasses 6 wins, the game is over.
  • Challenge a player with a title. This can be done on either in this thread or directly with the title holder via PM or PSN.
  • A challenge can be acknowledged either on this thread or directly through PSN. All results must be posted on this thread. PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE ME WITH RESULTS DIRECTLY THROUGH PM OR PSN.
  • A player who has a title may challenge other title holders for their belts.
  • If you lose a match, you enter into that character's graveyard and must wait at least 30 days before issuing a challenge for that same title. This allows you time to improve your skills and the defending champion doesn't get bogged down defending the title against the same person all the time. You can still issue challenges for other titles in the meantime.
  • You are allowed to issue only 1 challenge at a time. You must wait until a previous challenge is complete before you can issue another challenge to someone.
DQ/TITLE STRIPPING
  • Both players MUST confirm scores. If a person loses and refuses to confirm their loss then they will receive a warning. Multiple violations will result in being banned from the game altogether. The only exception to this would be posting a video to show the results.
  • If a player voluntarily quits a match, they forfeit the match and their title (if applicable.)
  • Challenges should be responded to within a reasonable length of time (no more than one week.) If a title holder constantly misses challenges, they will be warned/stripped of their belt depending on the frequency it occurs.
  • If a player retires, leaves TYM, or gets banned/suspended from the site, they automatically forfeit any titles they may have.
As always, videos are not required, but most appreciated!

I guess since I don't have Xbox, I'll go ahead and not claim Sindel… Or just delete the whole stupid thing.
 
Say what?
TLDR: I made a best in the world PSN thread to try to spark the psn umk3 part of the community. No posts so bill changed it to XBL. I changed it to MAME, I created the thread and want to participate. Can't do that if it's on a platform I don't own.

So this is on MAME now?

If anyone wants my pre-configured MAME package, send me a private message. A cool feature on the MAME kaillera client that I use is you can check the "record game" checkbox and (a very small .krec file) a recording of your match will be output into the 'records' folder. If someone requests, they can send me their matches and I could record it to .avi and put it on YouTube.

You can claim a character and still challenge for others?

You can claim one character as a temporary and in the interim you have to wait for someone else to challenge you, or wait for someone to claim another character so you can challenge them.

GGs to @nwo He defeated me 6-2 to claim the Kung Lao belt. Awesome games!
Yes, GGs man. You got even better since we last played in April.

After playing a match where we were actually keeping track of the score I think I need to post some future MAME 119 tips. During our matches I kept saying the score in the chat and using the "-" key, by default that is the volume key in MAME 119 and it basically desyncs the game (in p2p). The second issue with 119 is both players must restart MAME completely after playing on OR offline, or even if you're just reconnecting.

In the future I'll completely unassign the volume button and re-upload my MAME 119 package.

I'm definitely down to claim Ninja Smoke & Kano but at the moment I can only play on PSN due to my now defunct desktop. I'm getting a completely new desktop over the holidays and I should be back online for this in about a month or so. I'll keep you guys posted.
