March 2024 MK2 Tournament

Free tournament brackets, management, listings, and prediction contests for sports, games, and other competitions from professional levels to academic to amateurs and everything in between. Create brackets for your own organization or host a predictions contest with your family and friends.

Please note - this is a North America only Fightcade tournament. If you do not reside in the US, Canada, or Mexico, you will not be permitted to enter due to high ping.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT

This is going to be a 4 on 4 Survivor Series style elimination match. Each player creates a team of 4 characters. They can choose one character apiece from the different tier lists.
  • Top tier - Liu Kang, Mileena, Jax
  • High Mid - Kung Lao, Kitana, Shang
  • Low Mid - Raiden, Scorpion, Baraka
  • Low - Cage, Sub Zero, Reptile
From there, the players start with their lowest-tiered character. If they lose, they are forced to move up to the next tier level. The match ends when the entire team is knocked out.
  • Once you select a character from a specific tier level, you are stuck with that character and may not switch between other equivalent characters in the same tier.
  • You can create an entirely new team when facing a different opponent.
  • Morphing into top tier as Shang Tsung is prohibited.
GENERAL RULES
  • Double elimination
  • All participants must access Fightcade on the day of the tournament for bracket information.
  • If the connection breaks, both players must restart the match with the same characters (prior round win is omitted). If the breaking connection is suspicious, like breaking right before a victory, then report the match for investigation.
  • In the case of lag, keep trying. If after a few tries the connection is not good, please report back to the chat room IMMEDIATELY and a new matchup may be made for you with another opponent. Bear in mind this only applies to first-round matches.
  • If you are currently banned from the Kombat Network, you cannot enter the tournament.
DISQUALIFICATIONS
  • All participants will have a 10-minute grace period to show up in the Fightcade chat room at the start of the tournament. If the player has not arrived by then, they will be sent to the Losers bracket or DQd, depending on where they are in the tournament.
  • Voluntarily quitting in the middle of a match (except for a one-time lag exception), any suspicious activity (impersonation), or anything else deemed inappropriate or unsportsmanlike is grounds for disqualification.
  • If you use Shang Tsung and accidentally morph into top tier, you forfeit that particular ROUND. If a top-tier morph happens again at any time throughout the tournament, Shang Tsung is declared dead, and the player must move to the next tier level.
  • If you trigger the Smoke battle, you forfeit the entire match.

If I wasn’t so busy with IRL stuff, and also had fightcade, I’d enter to help support the game. Good luck with this and hopefully you’ll get some players who are down

Hi everyone. Back in the day, I hosted more tournaments for the classic MK scene on this site then I could possibly count. I realize the landscape has drastically changed nowadays with Discord and such, but if anyone is interested in doing an MK2 online event (Fightcade), reply here and let me know.

I will also be reaching out to people on Fightcade to get their thoughts.

You should hit up Summoning on X/Twitter, he still plays the game & knows a lot of folks who still play as he streams it from time to time sometimes with guest appearances from @jamessmk.

I haven't play MK2 in over a decade, my Baraka is way too rusty.

@ded Yes, T is chat, but...

I should update that this is designated as a North America only tournament. US, Canada, Mexico. Nothing against anyone else, but the ping would just be unreasonably bad. Unfortunately this would disqualify you and Summoning, as I believe you are from Bulgaria and Summoning is currently in Finland.

Oh wow happy birthday! At present we are looking at doing it on the standard version 3.1. Format is still being figured out, but I am known for throwing wrinkles into things and making it winnable for anyone ;)

No worries. I actually wanted to use Fight Cade to get back to MK1, but if I am unable to use "T" button online for High Punch, it's useless for me.

Right now we are looking at 6pm MST, March 7th

We now have nine players signed up so the tournament is officially on. As for the format... this is one I've done in the past and was very fun and successful...

It will be tiered. What I mean is...FT4, but each match begins with players choosing low tier (sub, Cage, rep). If you lose the match, you move up one tier until eventually you get to top tier.

Fixed, it's Thursday. By moving back, you mean to a 5pm MST start time? That would mean a 4pm PST start time, which I fear is too early for the people who work.

My bad! Moved up an hour I suppose. So like 9 Eastern.

I'm concerned starting that late could pose a problem for folks on the east coast. If this tournament turns out to be double elimination with close to 16 players in the bracket, it could go several hours and I don't want to see it go past midnight if possible since it's a work night for most people.

Fair enough. Maybe compromise and go 8:30 maybe? I don't know. I'm In the Eastern Time zone so that time slot doesn't really bother me, and 8:00 is really pushing it for me to be able to make it on time without risking taking an auto loss
