I don't believe you. The TVs we had were horrific, and seeing as how it's a sponsored event I'm guessing they used the same TVs everywhere.

That's because the houston MGC TVs had less lag than the Austin MGC TVs. Either they did not use the same TVs or they had a better setup that lead to less lag.

Seriously. When I hit right it should not take 2 seconds for me to move.

i got pretty used to the lag, though im not a very technical player, and marth is still relatively easy to use with laggy tvs, but whatever.

Apparently, you can only win one tournament for each game series, so that other people can have a shot at first prize. Second prize is only a lousy shirt, so aim for first. You have four chances, unless you're willing to travel... :)
Does this mean that if you take second, you're disqualified from entering future tournaments for that same game?

Oh wow, you all actually had finals where two good players competed. Every one of our finals involved a good player vs. a scrub who more or less rode the brackets.

MGC needs to get some normal TVs(Assuming you guys had laggy TVs as well :\) by da finalz.
lol. Can't wait to play all you guys.
I completely agree, the TVs were horrible. I saw many people missing their L-cancels, and I avoided doing anything extravagant because I was afraid the lag would hurt my timing too much

lol. I could'nt play Young Link cuz the lag was pissing me off.
So I picked Peach and went to Dreamland on the final match. I spammed D-smash the entire match and 3 stocked the dood. .___. He could'nt do much either cause of the lag.
I really do hope they fix that problem.

During the tourney, I was talking to the staff that the tvs were complete crap and screwed up our reaction time.

Surely they could've changed tvs from complaints being heard each tourney. If the pot is going to be $3,000, they really need to get some normal tv sets.

MGC has heard the concerns, for legal reasons they can't change the tournament format until the tour schedule is complete, but they will have this issue addressed for the finals!
