You guys gotta work something out or we can switch them if there are any first round matches left that might be more accomodating.

Err, what do I do if I haven't heard a single thing from my opponent. I've tried looking for the gamertag "phebus", and it seems to not exist.

It's been about 24 hours and still no response from Phebus.

Think think he's dead or something.

i m sure you guys are not running this tournament thru ranked matches., because if you wanted to ref and record the whole thing 3 in one player match with one private slot. theres the ref and recorder. maybe you guys are running it different i hav'nt read the post until today.

The point of my post was that we don't have anyone available to do that all the time, or even multiple people some of the time. Fortunately, no one has actually demanded there be a ref for their match so far as I know.

Great job Busta, sorry Sy lol, I only seeded half the brackets, the rest was random!

I basically put one person in each bracket and then ILP randomized the rest. I seeded about 20 players specifically to not eliminate eachother in the first round in the most likely outcomes and I've been basically on the money thus far, but they obviously will play eachother at some point. I'm not familiar with every single player in the tournament so there's bound to be upsets and what not regardless.

Yeah that was my picks for the finals as well, that's why they are on the complete opposite ends, Moe being the known player and CD being the challenger so to speak.

I figured I'd be partially running the tournament and doing stuff so I wasn't going to enter. If I'm needed as a sub I'll do so within the first round so I have to go through the full tournament.

The next tournament will have prizes so I won't be entering that one either. If other people want to run a tournament at some time I'll enter that.

Since when does CD use turbo and what would that have to do with anything anyway? Turbo is 100% useless in MK.

cd, seems like his moves are programed thats how i view it, and ive experimented with it, using turbo, especially programing low punch for instant grabs. or programing run for kung lao infinte across the screen. i really hav'nt figured out the rest.

on the other hand rickerson connection is garbage, it could ruin some timing issues for cd.

"Turbo is 100% useless in MK". i have had a lot of success with it, its kinda like a superpower! i just need more time with it.

Bob, I have played CD in person. He doesn't have programmed combos and I'm not sure what you mean any more by turbo. He's a very good player and I'm still waiting for our recorded matches to surface. They should be pretty good but I wasn't able to play 100% (the whole weekend) because of the converter and signal crossing issues with the iPac that we didn't isolate until during the impromptu tournament on that Sunday.

As for turbo, can you give me an example as to when it would give you an advantage in a situation where precise timing could end in the same result? I'm not talking about for charging move glitching etc, because that's not part of the game.

some turbos can be adjusted as far as speed go thats one part, i dont know the exact measurements but they go from slow to fast.

ill program kung laos run button so, i can go from sweep bait, to kung lao spin no problem vs. if i did'nt have the turbo on i would have to get the speed of the spin up and it would never hit. with the turbo button programed its automatic. especially in the corner. i did an 89% comb on freeisogood because of that turbo button. i was catchen people off a blocked move then buff the spin they would try a cross over its too late infinte time.

as far as the low punch. the run jab is dirty with turbo i just jab jab, its automatic if they try anything its a auto grab.

the one thing i cant do with turbo is charge moves and human smoke thats if you use all turbo. like i said i hav'nt figured it out completely but, im still tinkering with certian chars.

im using the xfps 360 thru my stick for turbo but, since that things a piece of crap i was thinking of rewireing a madcazts trubo stick inside my arcade stick to get the same results. but, its nothing i do all the time because its a hassle. but, its fun at the same time to pull off the spin all the time with no problem.

Bob Dole, you know you can press Forward, Down, Forward while you are sweeping and get the spin at the same time. If you need turbo (or macros, that's probably what you mean) to get 89% of the Kung Loa corner inf, you need more practice.

Turbo can actually mess up timing for things. This is why you can't mash things in MK. If you do a combo that allows you to juggle a hit at the end, like in the corner with Kano for instance, pop up, JK, LP, manhandle, then a HK, you can't really mash HKHKHKHKHKHKHK because it gives you more of a chance to be late, something like this requires specific timing. As far as jabbing in the corner with turbo, you cannot double run jab with turbo any faster than I do it manually, so there's no point. People can escape in either scenario, and as long as they hold back if they try to counter, you won't throw them. You also can't throw between run jabs, as in the LP, LP part of LP, LP, run, LP, LP, so you'd have to throw after the run cancel, which is a bigger window to counter anyway.
