KoF XIII Fighting League

Alright, folks, our last fighting league fell apart due to people dropping out, and latency issues. Not gonna happen this time. Right? Right.

 

This time we're doing King of Fighters XIII on the PS3... and if you have had PSN Plus for a while now, you probably picked this game up for FREE! So no excuses! None of us (that I know of) have spent much time with this game at all, so don't be worried about ringers and sharks- let's just all battle and have a good time!

 

Post here to let me know if you're interested- I'll be hoping to get this league off the ground next Wednesday, the 16th of January. Sooner or later is possible, depending on what people want.

Okay! It looks like we have five participants, then- myself, Duke (Thorgi), Shaner, Cyber, and Omni. Rule time! And copypasta.

 

The league is going to officially start Friday, January 18th, so start practicing! Let me outline how this will work.

 

Part 1: Round Robins

The first part of the league is the the round robin matches. In a two week period (Jan. 18-Feb. 1) everyone will play every other player, twice. Each match is a first to five (FT5)- the first person to win five games, wins the match. By the end of the first week, try to have played five of these matches- you have ten total between the two weeks, and it would be lousy to have to blitz them all in the second week.

 

The purpose of the round robin matches is seeding- to help determine who should face whom in the first round of the tournament. If we have ties in match wins, they will be tiebroken by how many games you won over all- so even if it looks like you can't win a match overall, don't give up! Every game you take counts.

 

Part 2: The Tournament

After the first week of round robin matches are done, we'll get together and figure out a date and time that works for everyone for the tournament. The tournament will be set up by either me or Omnimon, so don't worry about the math side of things- you just need to worry about playing. The first matches of the tournament will all be arranged using the seeding from the round robin- the person who won the most matches will be against the person who won the fewest, and so on until the two people in the dead middle are matched. The tournament will be double elimination, which means that if you lose one match, you're not out yet- you go to the loser's bracket, and if you lose THERE you're out. So, two losses and you're out of the tournament.

 

The scoring for matches will be kind of like tennis- game, set, match. Every game is three to five rounds, depending on how long it goes. You have to knock out every character on the other player's team to win a game. The first person to win two games wins a set, and the first person to win two sets wins the match. If you want to change characters, you can do that at the start of a new set, but not during one.

 

Part 3: The Rules

Just one rule needed here- when you're playing a set, only the loser can switch characters or team order. If you won the previous match, you cannot change anything.

Good games indeed. I might buy Classic Iori after the round robin part of this tourney because fuck Kim as a stand-in.

 

Also, you losing it on voice chat was hilarious. Especially when Mai's aerial super landed.

 

My mike was on? My mike was on. Oh dear god. Ohhhhh god. I'm sorry. T.T

 

EDIT: Six v. Duke, Set 1: Six wins 5-0. Good fights! By the end of that, we may have figured out a team for you, eh?

Lol don't be. It made the matches more interesting. Was there a second person there, or did I just imagine that?

Nah, it was just me. I just hype myself up. You understand. Maybe. Maybe you really really don't =P

 

EDIT: Six v. Shaner, First Set: Six wins, 5-0. Good fights, man! I don't wanna spoil the surprise for anyone who plays him, but... there is one character on his team who is a real, real big problem =P
