and here is the rules for Crew battle
₪ Event will be single elimination
₪ Twenty (20) stock
₪ # number of crew members can be 4-5 with no alternates
₪ Forty (40) minute time limit
₪ Random Seeds
₪For the beginning of the match, crews will write down on a separate piece of paper the name of the first player and the character the player will uses. Then both crews will present the player that will start the match. Order can be decided play by play after the first man.
₪ Player selection between matches is 1 minuet only. After time has been called crew must select a player or be disqualified from the match.
₪ Random Stages for Crews: Final Destination, Battlefield, Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland 64, Pokemon Stadium and, Yoshi's Story
₪ Stage selection will always be random.
₪ Percent returns to 0 after you finish off an opponent
₪ Glitches used to stop your opponent from controlling their character or indefinitely freezing them (Mewtwo's Soul Stunner, the Ice Climber freeze glitch), or any glitch or trick that freezes the match or makes it in any way unfinishable are banned. Using them will result in the immediate forfeit of the match and loss of stocks.
₪ Tactics such as Peach's Wallbombing and Jiggly's Rising Pound are allowed as methods of recovery or to maneuver around the stage. Using them (or any similar tactics) to excessively stall a match, such as dropping below levels intentionally and stalling underneath, is banned. Judges will be on the tournament floor and can be called in at any time to enforce this rule during a match.

Also we have decided to start crews first then low-tier after crews

Yeah, I might not come and just go to Chu's now.

I'm not looking forward to THP vs The Tunes in the first round in a single elimination bracket.

Random seeds really means "the best players always fight in the first round."

Single elimination translates to "some mediocre players get high placings while some good players get totally shafted."

You can seed pretty easily. It's no lie to say that THP and the Tunes are the best crews, and should be set apart. TSA is then next best, followed by other crews. Use the power rankings maybe?

As for single elimination, WHY? We're not going to have a bracket of like 16 crews. Just do a ROUND ROBIN. We're going to have what, 5-6 crews? THP, TSA, Wrath, Tunes, Luck's crew, and maybe Killer Fleet? Not much.

What I said was nothing but logical.

If you're worried about time, it's all for naught; not that many crews will be showing up, so using a round robin format should fit within the time limits. Using a single elimination bracket when you're going to have 5-6 teams isn't logical.

As for seeding, it's quite awful to do something like put THP vs Killer Fleet in the first round, especially in a single elimination bracket. That dooms one of the top crews to last place right off the bat. It's bound to happen.

I don't even know why you're acting like you're offended. I didn't say anything that could possibly offend anyone, unless you take great offense to me saying the Tunes and THP will be stronger than TSA. It's true since you're going to be minus both Cactuar and Sensei this weekend, two of your best players, if not THE best in your crew. It's like THP showing up without Lord Knight and I.

If anything, you just took a jab at me with that "life" comment.

THIS IS KILLAFOX SPEAKING UNDER ACEMARTHs NAME-

yo, we're most likely coming to this (KF). y not just do round robin for crews if theres like 5 or 6 crews? EDIT:: come to think of it-- thats kind of a long time lol

and also, are crews allowed to recruit members on the spot? i just dont think its really fair if like its KF vs THP and just for that day the get like M2K and pc or something (just an example lol) i dont really care, it just wont be fair for other crews. and as of now, its gonna be me, acemarth, Warriorknight, DJ nintendo, and Dav3. nad y not do low tiers first? i dont really care, im just askin?

I too think random seeds and single elimination is a bunch of BS.

Sorry CopyCat, but I agree with Inui.

But it's your bi-weekly so whatever. It's not like I'm doing crew battles anyway. lol.

A round robin with six crews won't take a long time if we use three TVs.

You have to be officially in a crew to compete, so M2K won't be in the crew battles.

From reading this and the rest of the post you sound absolutely sure your THP can beat every crew comming to the tourney except Killer Fleet as long as Sensei and Cactuar dont show up :/

Also sounds like you're not planning on going to Chu's at all but instead use that as a scapegoat defense.

There is nothing wrong with what Inui said. TSA sucks for the most part.

Only Cactuar, Sensei and WoZ are an actual threat.

Here are my options:

1. Go to the TSA biweekly. Enter a crew battle with totally whack rules, possibly get shafted. Enter a low tier tournament without having a really good low tier. Play the same people I play all the time.

2. Go to Chu's. Team with Chu, have fun, and win money. Compete in normal singles in the powerful MD/VA region, and get better. Practice with the professionals down there, and play people I don't play nearly as often.

There is obvious benefit in the latter, while I stand to gain next to nothing with the former. If the rules for the crew battle involved playing more and having no chance of being shafted, then going to the TSA biweekly won't be too bad.

Entering a crew battle just to play once? Not fair to a weaker crew, that's for sure. You enter, go into a battle once, and then you're done for the day. How sad.

BS/10.

I fail to see how my complaints are not valid. Unless Andrew has some really good explanations, my complaints stand, and so far people have agreed that the crew battle rules are indeed whack.

I fail to see how I said they weren't valid. You going on about going to Chu's instead when the issue hasn't even been addressed after others have expressed the same opinion (I too agree RR would be best and would be done in a reasonable amt of time), and continuing to beat the horse in a whining manner makes you look silly. Also, when did you get your license? Since when is it your decision alone of where people drive your a$$ anyway? It doesn't sound like you even discussed it with LK considering you said you were going to Chu's instead like 20 mins after he posted the rules >_>

RR would crews would probably take like 3 hours not too too bad, and i think it'd be a good idea, espically if it attracts more and more crews, i can't wait to play killa fleet and just crew battle for the first time ever :)

Good luck Mario
If 6 crews go...

It's going to be 40x5= 200 minutes/60 = 3 hours and 20 minutes MAX if it's RR as long as you use 3 TVs. Even that is a bit of a stretch but if crews start at 1 than it will go to 4:20. Is singles really going to take longer than 4 hours and 40 minutes?

Besides, isn't single elimination kind of gay if you have 6 crews? One crew gets a bye after winning one crew battle and goes straight to the finals.

Please change this to Final D, DL64, and Stadium.

Copycat said:
Stage selection will always be random.
And please change this to counterpicks allowed but the other player can change their character between matches if stage is counterpicked.

Also, who gets $? 1st, 2nd, and 3rd?

I think Inui's post were valid. For once he made posts that didn't consist of lose and failure.

And yet these weren't points you thought to bring up when we actually had our meeting.

Speaking of that, I told Copycat about RR during our meeting, and we agreed to wait until the day of the biweekly to see the amount of people and what the reaction would be. He's been appointed to be in charge for this next biweekly, after all. If it's the popular demand, then we'll go with round robin.

Crews has also been moved to the first event because I'll be leaving at around 4 to do some prospecting for my job. It's tough enough for TSA to lose Cactuar and Sensei for crews, but it'd be a big blow if I wouldn't be there either.

Bum isn't listed as Killer Fleet in their topic, he teams with DA members in tournaments, and is in DA from what Dire personally told me at Cataclysm. >_>;

M2K is "practically" in THP since he plays with us a lot, so we get to use him then, right?
