Ganondorf is STILL the best character ever (Wii-U Online Tournament: Complete!)

[A2ZOMG]

Sounds good. I'm primarily waiting for responses from Gungnir and Pon, who will get the game on December 6th, before actually making a bracket.

Gungnir comes here? If so that's awesome, I hope to play with them.

 

[Ray_Kalm]

Will you be able to attend this by the time of the Japanese release @ Vermanubis ?

 

[Vermanubis]

I hope so. I get paid next week, so if by divine providence I have enough to buy a WiiU, I'll be there.

 

[TTTTTsd]

I'm scared. Ganon mirrors are the hardest matchups ever and I'm only at best average IMO.

Can't wait to get schooled and have a ton of fun.

 

[Lufos]

I am very hyped; I may be able to gather up some other dorf users if we need to even out the bracket.

I maybe able to do that as well.. At least one

 

[Garioshi]

Yo, can I get in on this?
...I apologize to anyone I've offended.

I AM OFFENDED BY YOUR GOOD GUY ACT.

You owe Ganondorf a dramatic oath of allegiance to the dark side.

 

[-VictoriaJustice-]

Is it too late for me to join and destroy fools?

 

[A2ZOMG]

Bracket ain't created yet, so welcome. Prepare yourself for evil conquest while I wait for some friendly overlords from Japan to get back to me.

 

[-VictoriaJustice-]

I conquer. Good luck to everyone else. You'll need it. Ha.

 

[A2ZOMG]

I need to hear from Pon (and his friend), but I believe right now, I am just waiting for ONE more person to sign up, and then I'll actually create a bracket for real. But no rush, we can take our time with this.

@ Shogger or anyone, I could use a favor. Or rather, it would be convenient for Ganondorf if you sign up.

 

[A2ZOMG]

I'll basically say our Japanese friends Pon and Potechi are in (Pon still needs time to get the game, but there's no hurry as long as we try to have fun). I could go ahead and make the bracket now most likely. But I would REALLY like one more person to sign up before I get irrationally paranoid.

 

[Ray_Kalm]

Let's stick to usual tournament starters and counterpicks.

BF, SV, Lylat, and FD Normal.

The counters could be all starters, all omegas, Duck Hunt, Delfino, DK 64, Halberd, and Town and City.

I guess realistically, that's fine with me. My more precise stance is I won't complain about people picking really dumb stages if for any reason they both agree to it, given the nature of this tournament. I'll edit that into the rules. Is there a picture of tournament stage standards? This is helpful for anyone who doesn't primarily speak English.

Well, I suppose I could sign up but I'll lose access to the Wii U after the 19th until early January. So I'd better get knocked out before then

Not necessarily a problem. We don't need to rush to complete this. Also again, with any luck, in the actual event that someone ends up needing to drop out seriously, I'm not inflexible about replacements.

 

[Sykkamorre]

:O does this mean a bracket'll be happening soon?!

I'm so hype to find out who'll be kicking my ass!

 

[A2ZOMG]

@ Sykkamorre @ Lozjam @ Ray_Kalm @ Vermanubis @GanonFist @Electric Tuba @RCyclone @Z1GMA @DLA @alex6309 @Hydde @Ceadda @ A2ZOMG @ TTTTTsd @Zathura @ Opana @Swoops @Thinkaman @Xinc @Krazy4Krash @Bittersweet @Poxnixles @TheBearsnake @DeanFryGaming @WILEY @ Lufos @ Merkabo @Turokman5896 @Big O @ adom4 @KenMeister @epicender584 @Minordeth @HeavyLobster @ Garioshi @ -VictoriaJustice- @ Shogger

The time is nigh. One will emerge from the darkness and determine the fate of all.

For anyone who is curious about how seeding was determined, I put the following participants in the top 8.

Gungnir
Pon
Potechi
Ray_Kalm
Z1GMA
Vermanubis
DLA
Thinkaman

The rest were mostly listed alphabetically, though I tried to randomly move around a few people to make the bracket generator bias not completely alphabetical. Some of it could based on hearsay about tournament participation maybe, or prior bias with community members. Sue me, there's no money involved. Just pure sinister power.

Remember guys...have fun! For those who feel enthusiastic about it, I will try to provide some extra loser bracket matches to differentiate placements a bit more and ensure that in the worst case scenario everyone gets to play at least two sets.

 

[Merkabo]

I'm pumped.

 

[TTTTTsd]

I'm gonna need a week or two with exams being in the way but....I'm ready. On the account that my internet explodes or doesn't work I don't know what to do, but all I can do is pray.

Same goes for me personally. After school is out of the way though, I'll get cracking on this game.

 

[adom4]

This is kinda embarrassing but i haven't been to a tournament in years, is a set the best out of 3 games?

 

[A2ZOMG]

Yes it is. Grand finals are best of 5. Because it's single elimination, there is no losers bracket you can climb to reach the grand finals. However I can still offer loser placement matches (this is commonly done for 3rd and 4th place).

 

[Shogger]

@ Sykkamorre , whoever wins has to fight Gungnir. I'm terrified @_@

 

[TTTTTsd]

LOL Shog, don't think of it like that... =3.

 

[Opana]

I wish I got paired up with Gungnir, don't expect tow in but I don't think I'll get far enough to play him lol.

 

[A2ZOMG]

Okay, this is slightly arbitrary and doesn't have to be taken too seriously, but I suggest we do actually use the xat Ganon chat at pick a time to meet. Let's keep in mind that Japan timezone is UTC+09:00, Sweden is UTC+01:00, and California is UTC-08:00. O_o

I propose at meridian time (UTC+0:00), we try to meet December 13th, 6 AM.

If my calculations are correct, would be December 12th, 10 PM down here in California. December 13th, 7 AM in Sweden, and 3 PM in Japan.

This strictly does not have to be used to arrange matches, but can be very helpful for that and socialization. I will forward this time to Gungnir, Pon, and Potechi, and add this to the topic post.

Unless both players agree on a starter (see post #2), there should be another method of determining which starter stage to go to first.

The winner of the first and second matches can ban any one stage, if the same player wins twice in grand finals, banned stages cannot be switched. All Omega forms count as Final Destination in regards to bans.

The loser of the first and second matches has to pick an unbanned stage from the counters first and then allow the winner the opportunity to change characters.

Edit: Woops, that's right this is Ganon only. Last part doesn't apply. -_-, change palletes.

Actually, the last thing does imply if we are using custom moves

Which we aren't. Not that I have anything against them, just didn't want to worry about it.

If we do this kind of thing in say...2 months from now? Then I'd allow customs.

Ugh, typos. I mixed up January and December somehow. I must be sleep deprived. But yeah, in case anyone was confused, I suggest meeting up in xat chat on December 12/13 depending on your time zone.

Alas, I cannot do that. My orchestra needs me that day in order to make music that will please Ganondorf.

As for custom moves, alright.

Where do you live? Also is your orchestra event a road trip of some sort? I did deliberately arrange the meeting time to be late at night in NA.

 

[Ray_Kalm]

We can take this slowly and allow matches of rounds to be completed within a specific period of time (1 week round one, 3 days round two, 2 days round 3, etc).

Unless the meeting is for something else?

 

[jahkzheng]

Seems appropriate that I keep an eye on this place too...

It's mostly just to get people together if they can, and say hi, if nothing else. I don't expect everyone to be able to make this.

I agree we can take the tournament slowly.

As I fail horribly, what time would that be for the sole britdorf?

6 AM December 13th, since you live right on the GMT time zone. =P

I just facepalmed so hard that I've got a large hole out the back of my head.
