I don't think I've seen a 3-player pool yet, but if there is, good point.
The concept of ties and tiebreakers having controversy centers around such a group of three players being a subset of a larger pool; if three people all lost 0-2 to the top two and had a circle of 2-1's against each other, but only the top3 advance, things get dicey. Did you honestly think you're the first person to come up with attempting to find a simple method on handling ties?

Read his 291 again, because this is what you're not getting.

:phone:
It's not that I don't get that, I simply ignore it.

Like I said, H2H is allowing some set wins to be more important than others. That's why it's bad. I don't care that it never allows ties, it's still bad to say one win is better than another. If there was only two players to evaulate that's fine, but you're evaulating an entire pool. That's why it's just as bad as W/Ls, which is why either way is fine.

There are only two players to evaluate in a tie

also ralph's spotdodge is ***. if ralph EVER spotdodges against me, he eats 40+ damage. against marth ralph always spotdodges multiple times because he's scared or is trying to bait a reaction out of you. he never spotdodges as a prediction-type maneuver.

ralph if you want to spotdodge vs marth start predicting what they do and also learn the exact timing of when/where you can spotdodge marth's moves. ally is really freaking good at this and that's why playing him as marth is really gay, because even if you change your timing he knows exactly when to roll and exactly when to try and block
I do spotdodge as a prediction kind of thing sometimes I just make the wrong call. D: That's just mean to say never. T_T Also I had some bad habits at this that I just needed to fix. :I Need to play more and stuff. Also I keep forgetting Marth has dancing blades and will do it regardless of me spotdodging or not. :x

@Ralph Cecil spotdodge topic

you definitely do spotdodge too much. LMAO a lot of times in game 1 and 2 I would just walk up to you and wait. and you'd be like OH ****! SPOTDODGE! and then i'd be like "Got'em"

you definitely play a solid snake outside of that though... also don't rapid jab a falco coming back on stage. if anything time an uptilt and kill him/do big damage.

and PS1 >_> LMAO the sneakiest C4s
I know! D: I noticed you were doing that and still didn't fix it. Q_Q Also yeah I just like how nicely rapid jab sets me up if I knock you out of it, but yeah it would be better if I just did something different instead. :x Also I love PS1 so much lol. There are so many black lines that are the same color as my C4. <3

I rested Ralph out of an airdodge. It was glorious!

:phone:
That was the mean. D: Also really crazy. o_o

Wait, what? Since when?
Since always (in a two way tie). That's why it's a tie, we've already evaluated their position amongst the other players.


Head-to-head makes ties impossible, improves time management, and the very last thing that we'd want to do is a rematch of every pool game to see who advances. Head-to-head emulates a rematch between the two final contestants without forcing a rematch, which is intrinsically unfair to the other players in the pool who do not get a rematch AND it saves us tons of time.

man guys come on there's probably a better place to have this argument.
Than the thread the tournament was in? Not really. All the relevant parties are here.

I want to thank Zinoto for bringing my jacket to this event.

Also, I apologize to Shugo for how annoyed I obviously was during Grand Finals. I was burned out and wasn't able to take the game with a grain of salt, so I ended up with more than a grain. You're a cool guy, and I don't normally have exaggerated negative reactions during matches. :/

Please no more discussions about how ties are broken :(. Chi's tourney, his ruling.

Quit braggin, bro. Being positive against Zinoto isn't all that hard.

You just have to beat him once when he's not that good and then never play him again amirite :awesome:
Numbers never lie.
Damn straight :yeahboi:

Lazy shoutouts:

-Zinoto for being P-1

:phone:
:denzel:

Chi, I had an amazing time at this. The venue was kick***, people were chill, God Kais were abundant, stream was stellar, bracket was tough (like it should be at a regional). I'm recording GFs now and people should check Wuvs channel because videos are going up.

Also, I should be thanking you Reflex for letting us crash at your place until the morning. I always have a good time when you guys show up.

Also Also shoutouts to Zeton for pretty much 3-stocking me Game 1.

Just a little FYI, I've added the rest of the pools (I believe I'm done with pools) and added the $100 MM to the video thread which can be located here.

Sounds like the only problem here is that they called it a "Unity" tournament and then made multiple deviations from Unity, causing confusion.

Any rule should be fair game as long as you let people know ahead of time. You shouldn't be changing rules when people might already be driving hundreds of miles to attend.
