Unlike Alex/Keitaro or any other INFERIOR HUMAN BEINGS/TOs, i realize that bracket pools are a ******** idea unless you have multiple HUNDREDS of people attending your event(aka EVO). WHOBO 4 will have normal pools. Whats normal? Every person in a pool plays 2 matches(not a set) and with every player in that same pool. Tally up wins/losses and boom we have seeds. If there are ties, the two tied players play my green lesbian for the higher seed or they do a tie breaker match between each other for the higher seed.

My hero. Rc legal, mk banned, reg pools, no :gw: or :toonlink: in MT. This tourney gonna be gooooood.

Anyway someone could get Kalo and bring him? I wanna meet Kalo lol.

Edit: we aren't doing sets in pools? That's odd lol. Oh well, 1st seed baby.

Even without MK, it hardly seems fair to give that advantage to the CPing player. Once you tally up the pools wins, you are going to give game 2 the same weight as game 1 when determining who gets out of pools.

It hardly balances itself out when the winner of game 1 doesn't get his chance to CP (in the event he loses game 2).
If you get CPed to a stage u dislike, CP that with a different character. this balances out the "disadvantage" you think you have. its simple.

Why can't you just do normal sets if setups allow?
The point of pools is to thin out the herd while giving people the chance to play multiple people while doing things as fast as possible.

2 matches does this.




edit: kalo has 100% dropped brawl. there is a 1% chance he will go to whobo

If you are doing 2 game pools, you shouldn't have stage selection just have it random from the starters. If you do 2/3 sets then obv you'd have regular cping etc. Even if the stage list is heavily neutered, you probably shouldn't have stage cping going on for the 2 game system. I like pools not having a focus on cping, and 2 game pools would run faster, but full set pools would also give greater precision and are definitely preferred if you're going to have stage cping going on. 2 games no cping or full set imo.

First two matches should be BF or SV.
Loser gets to choose which one the second game.

Or strike from the SEVEN starters. No reason not to let players strike, its way more fair than giving certain players a better stage for no reason. Thats JUST as bad as allowing only 1 player to get a CP.

Thats as dumb as not allowing a character switch after game 1 because most people won't bother using another character after they lose. The rules should be fair and if players want to go to those 2 stages, the rules won't stop them. This isn't Japan, let Unity V3 shine with its diverse starter list.

Let's try not to make a big hissy fit over it. This is Xyro's tournament, not yours. If you don't like the way things are ran, then run your own tournament, like I have many years ago.

I think you mean 8 stage list*
Since you need to strike down to 2 stages instead of 1 lol

7 stages - 6 strikes is 1 stage
8 stages - 6 strikes is 2 stages

Atomsk needs to let me know his bus prices. Still might come.

Allan you're not gonna be an idiot and do bracket pools right?

Try it before you knock it. Had nearly no complaints about bracket pools plus there was a lot of hype from it. I probably shouldn't be responding to people who never experienced it anyway.

Yo, I'm a player from Hawaii wondering if anyone in Texas can house me. I promise not to kill you. Seriously. But yeah, I'm definitely going to WHOBO and I would like know if I should factor in the cost of a hotel or not. I should mention that my brother and another player from Hawaii are unconfirmed for going at the moment but if they go I'm asking for them as well. Appreciate any replys, can't wait.

tl;dr
Can someone in Texas house 3 Hawaii players, AnD, Brigade, and Kennypu?

I know, hopefully you play as well as you did at SKTAR. That way you can almost beat me, thinking you actually have a chance.

On the real though, your Snake was playing AMAZINGLY well. I don't actually know why I didn't go a different stage against you that would've been MUCH better. You were playing super well and I need to play Razer again to see who is better. You make the MU look like a -1 and not -2.
