Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown online casuals tournament (PSN)

Hey!

Sorry I've been at work all day, but tonight will be all about finalizing this tournament and giving a firm date. The details in between will also be ironed out before the final tourney date. But for now, the first tournament will be on XBL. In fact I will be buying an XBOX 360 just for this.

Thanks for all your interest. You are right, it is hard work, but believe me it's worth it. The best things in life sometimes need to be worked hard to achieved. Plus Virtua Fighter 5 is quite simply the BEST 3D fighter to be made.

Even before the actual tourney, we could have a connection test session to see how it pans out ?


Oh and Can everyone who has registered their interest let me know what characters you will be using for the tournament ? I will be using the one and only Koen-Ken Master, Lau Chan

 

Very brilliant post. I completely agree. I just put his name there to tease him

 

UPDATED XBL CONTESTANT LIST:

1. EvenPit.
2. Kingofvf4* (You can decide which console you prefer).
3. WiZzYx3DG * (You can select which console you prefer).
4. x2ndFacex
5. InnerSanctumgm (Yep that's me, just been to create my gamertag )

Not bad, just need between 3-5 more! Almost there!

 

Where you from InnerSanctum? We can do a continental playoff, and a final between Europe vs USA. At least you have to deal with lag once...well, it's the most important match, but it can be worse.

 

I'm in the United Kingdom. Specifically Liverpool. And that does sound great because what I could do is allow the U.S side of the tourney run first (and record all matches). Then Let the E.U. Side have their fights and record everything, then let the best of the E.U and U.S play off for the finals.

Technically speaking, that will reduce the lag to a minute percentage, which means potentially better looking fights.

Brilliant Idea. Note taken

Oh and are you in for the E.U. Or U.S ? What console would you prefer to battle on ? and what character are you using, Thanks

 

South America, but I play ranked matches against USA guys. I prefer PSN because I have less lag (really weird...) and I like more the D-Pad of the DS3. Akira is my main, but in the tourney I'll use Shun Di.

 

Brilliant! It seem the PSN list is quite healthy at the moment. I need Those XBL numbers! And Thankfully I won't have to play against you. Akira to me is like being chased down a dark alleyway by a T-Rex .... lol the guy is ruthless. I have respect for you for being able to command him. He isn't easy!


Oh and Ill be getting my XBOX 360 on Friday! I simply can't wait. I have already ordered this on amazon:

......I cannot stand the XBOX controller for fighting games. Im a Playstation guy you see, so I need to practice with the pad to adjust.

 

Ooooo hold on a second . . . I just found this in my bedroom! IT NEEDS TO BE DUSTED OFF! IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE I USED IT!

Hope you like my poster behind ! I have one of GOH somewhere . . . Ill find it now!

 

Just found it !

 

I really appreciate you still leaving it open for me but I will sit this one out, I can play okay with a few european members, I've had some fun with pana, kingo and makilesushi...but most of the time it is far past some small inconvenience and it's in the realm of being completely unplayable on any level.

Lag is just a reality in online play i agree and there is a good chance lag will cause a little bit of a problem even in a tourney in just one region..... but you gotta draw a line somewhere, connection inconsistencies are not the same as playing a match that is grey at it's best in a tourney setting... might as well just make the prize a lottery if we are going to have a bunch of international matches.

I know the game I played with wizzy here was the worst connection I've ever had (not his fault of course!) but if we met in a tourney, I would increase my chance at winning by picking jacky and just mashing flip kicks as actually applying any sort of gameplan with my boy kage is going to be a burden. Again not putting you on blast wizzy, our connection problem is just our distance so I am just as at fault no doubt! but I used you as a example because you are signed up in the same list as I.

EDIT: my bad I may have misunderstood some posts at some point yeah separate tourneys for regions is a great idea if you want to be so kind as to include us fellas on the other side of the world.

 

Good realistic points made. What I was thinking was adding everyone on the XBL list on Friday seeing as I am purchasing an XBOX 360 then, playing a couple of test matches just to see how the connection holds up, then finally getting a good idea what to expect.

 

Regarding the prizes if I may I think the first place should get to choose their prize out of the options you provid above then 2nd place winner would choose their prize and so on because idk about anyone else but I would rather have GTA 5 that a PS Vita.

 

Very sharp points being made, everything is being noted. Im guessing you are an Eileen Player ?

 

Yes Eileen all day but Wolf jus for fun Mainly; Eileen though. And like Akai said this is a lot of work I tryied something like this b4 and it is some work so thanks in advance.

 

It is hard, but I like the challenge find attached, and example of how matches/results will be displayed. I did this using the known contestants so far. It's just a rough demo and I will neaten it up when all players are assembled.

It sort of gives a quick view of the versus matches as well as the first, 2nd and third place victors. This is just a mock up obviously.

 

hey what that kingo did was just out of anger because I beat him a couple of times and plus I dont do any of that stuff anymore, I play fair and you can ask around because i have not done anything like that in a while and I said before on here that I am not going to do it again and plus that was in rank and I have not done anything like that in a room match ever so it should not even matter. My reputation is good its just there are a lot of fools on here that try to hate on me but they are just hating on them selfs and I am done with their foolishness. I still can play so keep me signed up and lets have a good tournament.

 

See what I mean these trolls and haters on here just cant get enough. Dont listen to them and give me a chance and see for your self that I am legit and I am not the way that these people on here say I am.

 

I understand he isn't popular here okay this is supposed to be about this tournament not SB can we focus on that please. This really sounds like it is going to be something good we don't need anything taking away from the excitement of this potential tourny alright people.

 

Brilliant comment!

Sorry for the late reply. I have been at work all day!

Luckily we are slightly ahead of schedule. I was able to purchase an XBOX 360 on my way home and I am ready to have a few sparring matches with anyone who is interested ? My XBL is innersanctumgm

Feel free to add me my fellow VF'ers!

 

This sounds good, I think I'll sign up for this tournament. With EvenPit and Kingo there, this shoudl be fun . Where do I go to register and where are you located?
