This is the first of a possible series of tournaments known as FLASHBACK.
What is FLASHBACK?
FLASHBACK is a tournament of 5 fighting games. Each game is specifically chosen to be games that aren't normally played anymore. This means that they will all be "old school".
What Games Are Going to Be In It?
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire
Killer Instinct
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Samurai Shodown II
There could be some small changes made in this line-up, specifically at whether we'll do SFA2 or SFA3.
When is this event taking place?
Saturday, October 25th, 2008
Each game will have its own starting times, which have not been determined yet.
What do I have to do to get in?
Each event will have its own individual fee, which will go directly to the pot. Prices have not been determined, however, expect no more than $5 per game.
Here's the location:
Family Fun Arcade
10363 Balboa Blvd
Granada Hills, CA 91344
(818) 360-0419
Sol3, Milky Way Galaxy; Virgo Supercluster
What are the rules for each game?
Killer Instinct:
2/3 matches, double elimination
Eyedol Banned
Alternate Play Modes (i.e. combo breaker mode) Banned
Cinder Infinite Banned
Stage Selection Allowed
v1.5d
Samurai Shodown II:
2/3 matches, double elimination
Kuroko isn't playable in arcade mode, so we don't have to worry about banning him.
Time Speed: Normal
Blood Enabled
Controls will be as follows:
AB
CD
Vampire Savior:
2/3 matches, double elimination
Game Speed: Turbo 3
Lives: 2
Damage Level: Normal
Because of the nature of the game, Donovan, Phobos/Huitzil, and Pyron aren't playable.
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3:
2/3 matches, double elimination
8 player tournament mode will not be used.
Ver 1.2
All characters allowed (Clasic Sub-Zero, Mileena, Ermac and Human Smoke).
Glitches allowed (i.e. Glitch Cancelling).
Versus Kodes that make the game play in an odd mode (i.e. Dark Kombat) are banned.
Level Selection Allowed.
Controls for UMK3 are as follows:
HP BL HK
LP RN LK
Street Fighter Alpha 3:
It's a Japanese Street Fighter Zero 3; I need to check which version.
Odd modes of the game (i.e. Saikyo mode, No Ism, Classic Mode, etc.) are banned.
Secret Characters (Boxer, Juli and Juni) are allowed.
Any infinites are allowed.
Glitches are allowed as long as they don't crash the game.
I don't know which turbo to set, yet. I need to talk to the community, and check the difference in Zero to Alpha settings.
Some rules are subject to change.
Because of the technical nature of some of these games, double blind character selection will be used upon request. Double Blind character selection ensures that neither player knows their opponent's character when selecting their own character.
Why isn't [insert game here] in the tournament?
There are a lot of games I would love to see in the tournament, however, there's only so many hours in the day, so I've limited it to 5 games.
When I take sign-ups for the tournament, I will be asking which game you like the least, and which game you would prefer in its place. If I can get a coherent answer, I'll gladly replace whichever game is kicked off.
Some games I would love to see in, but I haven't heard of excited people for are:
Street Fighter II': Hyper Fighting
World Heroes Perfect
Fatal Fury Special
If you would love to see a game in here, post here and let me know what you're interested in. Things aren't final yet.
I haven't played X game in forever, I'm no good at it now.
We'll be having these games up in the arcade pretty soon so you can get plenty of practice.
Current Games at FFA:
Killer Instinct
Street Alpha 3/2 (In our combo machine)
Vampire Savior (In our combo machine)
Samurai Shodown (In our combo machine)
Notes: I'll have a flier up soon. Get your practice in!
