Discussion is among us. Plain and simple here, MLG is 2/3. Is the continuation rule still in effect?

If we can get enough ppl to say that 3/5 is the new standard maybe we will have some luck.

Looks like we need to band together and see if we can get it changed.

 

[Mikemetroid]

wasn't mk9 3/5?

Yes it was.

And @ MLG 3/5 is the tournament standard for Injustice, no budging room.

Uhh what??

I'll tweet Adam

 

[G4S KT]

I would caution to not bite the hand that feeds you on this matter.

Petitioning Adam to make it 3/5 is one thing but starting an OBS style twitter war will only end poorly for the Injustice community

That being said it's a bit surprising since MK9 was 3/5

 

[Rickyraws]

That's MLG to the left, and the ball is our dreams.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

SEE?!?!?! THIS IS WHY RULES HAS TO BE DISCUSSED EARLY!!

I was waiting for the frost face to be on him

This perfectly describes everything.

NINJA FUCK YO DREAMS!

I'm speaking w Adam/ john now

Remember, CIVILITY IS A MUST PEOPLE.

That doesn't mean bend over backwards for everyone, just means be respectable.

 

[ReD WolF]

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

 

[SEV]

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.

 

[Theonidas]

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 $$

John Nelson... Isn't that the revelations guys name? Hope that is a coincidence and not the same guy lol

 

[MidTierHarley]

My reaction

 

[Digit]

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

not the same guy, I noticed that a while back too, though it was funny

really though john nelson is probably a pretty common name

that bitch still owes me 350$ though

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

 

[Chaosphere]

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.
