See the second page for your match this week and let's get it on. PM me with any questions.

Nirvana had a great idea for a Digital Press online fighting game tournament, and in his absence, I decided that I'm going to go ahead and run a little something for Street Fighter IV. I've been running some local tournaments (see www.GRAPSF.com), and I've found that I really enjoy it... Enough to commit to running a month long online format tournament on both consoles for the fine, fine folks at Digital Press.

Here's how it works: there will be two tournaments running at the same time, for 360 and PS3 respectively. The format will be American standard: double elimination, best two out of three matches, winner keeps his character and loser may counter pick. Participants with access to both consoles may register for both tournaments. Anyone interested in participating can register by posting in this thread with their gamertag, the system(s) on which they want to play, and just for fun, their main character. Registration will end at midnight on October ninth* (a Friday).

I will be posting the brackets in this thread the following day, along with every match that needs to be played to advance the brackets.The participants will have one week in which to play their games: I know that everyone has a different schedule, but a week should be plenty of time to communicate with your opponent and get things done. The winner and loser of each match will PM me with the results by Friday, either on DP or on XBL/PSN (gamertag for both is Geofffvdl). I will then post the updated brackets and the process will repeat until we have us a winner.

Because I like things to run smoothly, players who can't find a time to play their matches during their allotted week will be disqualified, as will players who forget to PM me with their results. Only sign up if you're reasonably sure that you can make the weekly commitment.

To make sure that this doesn't continue long past the new year, we'll be running the losers bracket concurrently with the winners bracket after the second round. The overall top placer on each console will get a prize, which I assure you is both spectacular and topical. \\^_^/

I'll be playing on both systems myself. If anyone else is interested, please sign up below, and lets get this party started!

EDIT:
Sorry, I was going to join, but I do not have the time. I guess it is better that I back out minutes after signing up then later on

Hey mods: is it possible to get this stickied for a while? If not, that's cool: I shall continue to bump.

Four days left to register, folks. Tell yer friends.

There are two guys who have won store tournaments that might fit in here, though I'm not sure either of them has an account on the forum. Would they be allowed in? I'd be curious to see how they do against the community at large.

They're certainly welcome, as long as they're able to make their matches. The more the merrier!

Since it's taking a while to get enough people signed up for both consoles, I think we're going to extend the sign up date a week. That makes the last day to sign up October 9th, 2009.

I would just like to thank you again, G-Boobie, for being able to run this. I'm finally able to breathe again with my work schedule less hectic ^_^

But I can't wait for this.

You're welcome, sir: We still need people to sign up, or there's gonna be a lot of bye's in the brackets. So... Tell your friends, and lets get hype!

OK, here's the scoop: the 360 tourney has enough players to have the typical double elimination style tourney, though there are quite a few byes in the first round. The bracket is done, and looks like this:

Just so we're clear, we have until this Sunday to play our matches. the matches are:

SireScawt vs. Wataru3THIRTY

G-Boobie vs. Achika

NorkUSA vs. Whoiskeel

Nirvana vs. Juganawt

The bad news is that there aren't enough people for a PS3 tournament... Sorry guys. If you're interested, we can have a round robin style tourney: let me know if you're interested.

See you online, and good luck everyone!

Ahh!! My brother is playing BlazBlue right now, but I actually can get on in a little bit.

Damn. I just saw that we had til Sunday to play o_O If I'm DQ'd, it's cool, but I swear I can make the match up if given the chance.

Yeah, we're probably going to be a little more lenient in the DQ department. I want everyone who wants to play to play, so if folks need a bit more time, it's cool. Just let me know.

ok Nirvana and I had our matches

We had a good couple of games, but at the end of the day, I lost :(

1st Match: Nirvana 2 (Cammy) Juganawt 1 (Sagat)
2nd Match: Nirvana 2 (Cammy) Juganawt 1 (Sagat)

The last round of the final match was a class A demonstration in how to wipe the floor with someone as Cammy.

We're going to relax the weekly thing, because real life often interferes with video games. I know: it sucks. :)

We're going to hit up a "as you can find the time" schedule instead. That might make it take a while, but I don't want to add another commitment to someone when I'm supposed to be providing entertainment.
