Rules:
-No stages are banned.
-The character you decide to play as in the first round is the character you'll be using for the rest of the tournament.
-Save replays of your matches as proof of who won. I'd also like to upload these to YouTube if nobody's opposed to this.
-You have until next Sunday (December 13) for round 1.
-
Maybe, but it depends if I have the time.
-
Maybe....but I didn't even bother to patch to UNL yet :V
And I can't even 1cc easy on SWR.
-
Maybe. I have too much time on my hands
-
I'd be happy to~ I need an excuse to figure out Netplay anyway so that I can figure out whether I'm actually good or just good for my general area. :V
-
Maybe, but it depends if I have the time.
It'll probably be somewhere between 1-3 weeks, since my schedule's kind of cluttered right now too.
..if that helps you any.

-
I might play, but don't expect me to do anything amazing. Patchy, Suika, and perhaps Youmu are my only decent characters. :V
-
Oh, I've seen the images and all. I just don't know how to go about with the IP addresses and all. Thanks for trying to help, though.
-
I'm not amazing at it, but I'd definitely try to participate. :V
-
I'd love to!
I can make the bracket if you want, Challonge! (http://challonge.com/) is great for that.
-
UNL tournament? i'd join it
-
I'd join a tournament... If netplay worked for me <_<; Both times I've tried it, I got an error and it wouldn't let me connect >.<
-
Lag will probably be an issue, as could be finding time to play if it doesn't begin in less than three weeks, but count me in.
-
I suck at this but sure why not.
-
I would happily a UNL tournament and know of a couple others who would join too.
-
Sounds like the overall reception is positive. I'll get this set up when I have the time, then.

Do you use a router, by any chance?
-
I'd do it but I'd probably lag really bad unless you're in the Pacific area, and I can't host.

I think so...

You'd be surprised, I live in Minnesota, have a terrible computer, and usually play Europeans with no noticable lag until someone uses Sanae's "Night With Overly Bright Guest Stars.
ShiningDrake: That's the problem then, you need to forward port 10800. I can't help with that though, so you're on your own.
-
im in! i wanna fight other people that the whole 3 others ive fought~!

You might consider requesting Hamachi for people in the tournament, just so that people don't have to worry about port-forwarding. Those on university Internet might have many ports blocked, and they'd have no recourse to unblock them.
-
Seeing as this is pretty much the only game I can get through the story mode for... Sure, Why not. :V

There are people who play SWR/UNL without Hamachi!?
-

*raises hand*
Awesome thing about not using Hamachi is that only one person needs to have forwarded ports, so if you have them you never have to deal with hamachi again~
-

Net firewalls don't work that way. Though depending on your setup you may not need to port forward at all, all the same, you use Hamachi so as not to reveal your actual IP, among other things.
-
I've never used Hamachi to play, but I can only play with people who have their ports figured out and stuff.
-

There are people who play it WITH Hamachi?
I've never played a single Touhou fighter using it. It's extra hassle, and most importantly added lag. If I can avoid using it at all for this I'd prefer that, but if some people absolutely need Hamachi to play then it's understandable.

I play it with Hamachi.
-
Unless i'm not the host, i use hamachi.
Of course, even though i'm super slow at using skillcards and very bad at doing combos, i'm in if i have the time.
-
I'll see what I can do~

Quick update:
My laptop's still back ordered, so it's still going to be at least a week before this starts.
But, I also have two questions before this starts.
1. How does everyone feel about the standard tourney rule of "no changing characters"? I'm sure this will probably be disliked overall, but on the flipside it prevents counterpicking, something that would destroy users of characters like Alice.
2 I'll ask when I have access to something other than a handheld device for internet.
-
Well, in the last UNL tourney I was in, everyone decided on three main characters they'd use and was permitted to revolve through those. It's not perfect, but it does give a bit of wiggle room while preventing absolute counterpicking.
Either way is fine with me.
Also, how about putting the tourney on YouTube? Have people save their replays and send them to one or more people to record and upload? I might be able to record some of them...
-
Also, how about putting the tourney on YouTube?
I was planning on doing that, don't you worry. :V
I thought about the whole "select a pool of characters" thing as well, but I think with UNL's four-deck system you should be able to get enough freedom to be able to change things up without needing to actually change characters.
-

UNL has a double-blind, doesn't it?
Last one I played, each player picked three characters, elimination-style. You HAD to play in the order you picked em, and only switched if you lost a match; lose all three, and you lost the game.
-
Hmmm... that sounds really familiar somehow. Are you talking about the tournament on raocow's forum?
The pick-three format seems like fun. True, it is possible to have 4 decks, but I don't think they will make enough of a difference, at least compared to a whole other character. However, only the deck is a blind pick, not the character.

1. Yes, it was the Talkhaus tourney.
2. I do like it too (Either-or)
3. Ah
-
Hehe, that's cool. His LP of Marisa & Alice is what made me translate it. Of course, we never actually did get to see it in his videos... oh well.
-
His LP of Marisa & Alice.
Greatest ragequit ever 8D

question: are there characters that are good in UNL without alternate cards?
-
question: are there characters that are good in UNL without alternate cards?
All of them. All alt cards do is allow you to alter your character's moveset to better fit your style. Looking through the cards for each character, I'd say Reisen and maybe Tenshi need them the most, and even then it's not because their default moveset is trash.
-
thank you :D
I think I'll try and see how far I can get with the default cards. The problem, though, is that most people would feel sorry for facing me, heheh.. ..due to the latency, since I'm from South America.. D:
-

Have you tried netplay yet? I live in Minnesota and usually play Europeans, and at most I might have a bit of button lag.
-
I think (from previous matches in IaMP/SWR/UNL) that the latency is 6 frames at minimum.. (in GGPO, I think that the ping shows 200ms~250ms to USA players, at least)
there were input delays at the previous IaMP tournament, in my matches, as well..
-
Do you just not have the cards unlocked? Use Mizuumi's score.DAT with everything unlocked (http://swr.mizuumi.net/index.php/Main_Page) (except Suwako's theme in the music room, for some reason...).
-
Is there a hamachi channel that i could join?
-
Is there a hamachi channel that i could join?
If we're going to need one, then I'll get one set up later for those that require it.
This is all assuming my laptop ever comes, of course. :c
-
If there was a tournament, I'd be willing to join if a majority of the players were located in the U.S. Plus I can host without hamachi, so yeah
-
Finally got word back about my laptop, I should have it next week. So I no longer want "I might be in this maybe if i remember", but definite yes or no answers.
-

Yes
As long as its after Thanksgiving, or I'll be out of town/being force-fed turkey.
Plus I can host without hamachi, so yeah
I'm this also, yeaaaah. Good because my friends lag out mid-match when they try hamachi with eachother.
-
Oh, um... I think the last thing I said in here was about that netplay wasn't working for me... It's working now. So, uh... I'd like to join. Even though I know I'll fail miserably <.<;
-
As long as its after Thanksgiving
Somehow, I managed to completely forget about that.
Yeah, this might delayed AGAIN then. But I'd still at least like to get this organized ahead of time.
-
Well I'm certainly joining.
-
I'm joining.
-
I'm certainly in.
So do we need to state our location/characters? I'm wc myself, meaning that I'll probably lag to death against anybody not from the U.S. or Canada
-

Characters, yes. Location, no. I'd also like to know if you need Hamachi or not.
And I'm still not positive as to how characters will be handled, so list up to three that you might use for now. If I decide to stick with one character, then that can be changed as needed.

removing my characters until the my first match, ill decide then lol
-

Uhh...Sanae. I can use hamachi, but I'm not sure if I need it.
-
I like Remi and Marisa, but I can use Youmu if I need to. Of course, I'll be pretty fail no matter who I use, so...
Also, I don't need really need Hamachi. I can use it if it's necessary though.
-
I'm up for a tournament, can host. My characters are Patchouli, Alice, and Tenshi, though not to good with Tenshi.
I also have a friend that may be interested, though he only plays Marisa, and it would be from my house, so same IP for that.
-
Im not particularly interested in the tournament cuz everyone is in different location and time zone so I just think it would be a pain to work out.
I just want to play with you guys whoever is available.

Drop me a PM whenever you feel like playing. I spend most of my time online begging people (unsuccessfully) to play with me anyway. :V
I'll be able to play between 3-5 PM CST next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
Well, change of plans. I'm posting from my laptop right now, so all I need to do is download UNL, transfer my profile, and we can start this. :V Though at the same time, I'd like to wait for a couple more people.
-
Why not making a hamachi room. It would be used as a chat room and we can know who's online and play.
-
I came out of lurking and signed up for the forums to say I'll play. D:
Only thing is, I play 4 characters, and I think it's harder for me to leave one out than it is to just pick one. :(
But: Reimu, Yukari, Alice.
I'll just have to try and prove Sanae's good in casual matches.
I don't need Hamachi, and really would prefer not to have to mess with it, but if it comes down to it, it works.
-

I said I would if it was necessary, but would rather not if at all possible. So far, not a single person signed up needs it.
-
HONG MEILING
(Count me in)
-
Signed up when I saw. It sounds like fun. I'll give it a whirl ^_^.
Character:
Patchouli
Hamachi: No
I'd rather avoid Hamachi if possible. IRC would probably make it much easier to for everyone to reach each other; one meeting place, no fuss with AIM, ICQ or Hamachi and IRC even has plugins in Trillian and Firefox. Could just make a random room in efnet.
-
On stages: Personally I think the best thing for tournaments to do is Remilia or Patchouli's stages only. There's plenty of stages that are "fine" as far as the background obscuring bullets, but the indoor stages also don't show weather effects, so you don't have, say, Scorching Sun making it hard to see.
Ultimately it can be decided between players, but imo Cirno, Sakuya, and Utsuho's stages are awful for visibility.
-
I should make it unless something comes up at the last moment.
Character - Hong Meiling
Hamachi - No
-
I hope you guys remove that pesky weather before you start. (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=3837.0)
-
Eh, I don't care about weather. If anything, it's just a timer you can manipulate.
-
Dealing with the weather system is part of the game. It should not be turned off.
It will only be a problem if you are not good enough to adapt to it.
-

God no.
If you're unable to manipulate the weather with spellcards and weather cards, that's your fault, not the game's.
-
I would far and above prefer using Hamachi. I don't -think- I'd need it, but... I never know now that I'm under a new router and all. @_@
Anyway! Tenshi, Utsuho, Patchouli.
-
Wait, we can pick more than one character!? Add Reimu and Suwako!
-
If I would pick characters to use i would use...
Utusho, Marisa, Patchy, Alice!
-
Updated the first post with all the info. We have 14 people thus far, which I'd consider to be a rather decent amount. If I've got some free time next week, I'm hoping to start this then before it ends up becoming one of those "maybe next week, no, the week after(ry" type of things.
Regarding character selection, I'm leaning heavily towards either one or two characters as opposed to the full three, but I'm not forcing anyone to completely narrow their choices down until after the first round starts.
-
Oh, we give characater info? Sorry, didn't realize that, herpderp :V
Characters: Remilia, Suwako, Komachi
Hamachi: Preferred, but not needed. I can't host matches though for some reason, I can only join them. :\
-
I suppose I could join in. I don't have any problems with time yet, so I could manage.
When it comes to characters, the only main I can assure is Alice. I'll probably keep Remilia, and unless it's two only, I'll choose between Utsuho and Aya.
-
Hmmm... I really want to sign up, but playing anyone who lives beyond the American West Coast is going to be pretty bad. Also, I can't host and I don't want to use Hamachi.
-
Er, changing my mains. Remilia, Patchouli, Komachi. Sorry about that :V
-
I'm available 4:00 PM to 6:00 on Weekdays
9:00 AM to 12 PM and 1-6 and 7 to 11

What. You shouldn't have to adapt to anything but your opponent's play style. This is a fighting game, not a party game.
-
This is a fighting game, not a party game.
Exactly. And typically, for fighting games, you don't alter the rules of the game because you don't like them.
There's nothing wrong with the weather system. You can manipulate it to your advantage and the 'bad' weathers from SWR (which were perfectly managable) have all been toned down to inconsequence. Practically the only ridiculous weather left is River Mist and that is still managable.
Are you even signing up for this tournament, anyway?
-
What. You shouldn't have to adapt to anything but your opponent's play style. This is a fighting game, not a party game.
I don't know about you, but my Sanae playstyle enjoys a healthy dose of Sword of Hisou to activate Scorching Sun then doing a 66C Night Stars combo to lock them in the degen for an extremely long time.
-
The only weather effects that are really all that terrible are Aya's and Patchouli's (Aya's due to killing the ability to guard and Patchy's due to killing melee attacks). The rest don't have a significant enough impact on a match to mandate killing weather effects completely.
In other news I *REALLY* want to enter, but I can only get online on weekends (bar holiday breaks like the one going on right now), so I'd be completely unable to play consistantly. T.T
-

This is the first time I've ever heard blocking being the reason of complaint for Aya's weather. Then again, this is also the first time I've heard complaints about Aya's weather.
And Patchouli's weather makes melee register as type-2 bullets. That doesn't kill melee, that makes it god tier for spirit crushing.
I agree with what someone said about River Mist though. That weather's not rewarding for anyone.
-
Aya's gives Super Armor and makes you unable to block, right? At that point it pretty much becomes a damage race if you're ahead in health, or a race to avoid your opponent until the weather ends if you're behind in health.
Patchy's? I must be thinking of SWR, where it disabled use of melee attacks entirely.

That's Iku's. Aya's makes you move super-fast and gives you three airdashes.
And yes, you are. Except it only disabled the A key, characters like Suika who had melee attacks on the bullet keys (specifically, 2B) or characters with melee specials/spellcards could still use those.
-
sure just post/pm the network and pass
-
That's Iku's. Aya's makes you move super-fast and gives you three airdashes.
Only typical I forget the exact name for each weather type, decide to use the character names to be more clear, only to get it wrong anyways.
Even so, I would rather the weather stay. I quite like to get Scorching Sun to activate and combine it with Reisen's poison special for fun times.
Anyways, is there a specific date for rounds set up or something? If there's a way for me to do my rounds on the weekends when I'm at home I'd like to enter. A Reisen main would help give more variety to the cast, anyhow.

I'm not going to be in any rush to finish this unless people are putting off their matches for as long as possible, and my hours online are extremely random too.
-
In that case please toss me on the list. My character will be Reisen Udongein Inaba, and I do not have Hamachi.
-
I do have hamachi, but it likes to be really annoying at times D:
-
I think it'd be fun, but I'm too bad at the games to have any chance. So I'll sit this one out~
-

Didn't stop me from joining :V I barely have any idea what I'm doing honestly, and I'm still entering.
-
Well... if you say so. I guess I'm in, then. When is it?
-
characters: Suika, Reimu, Iku
I don't expect to perform well, but I'll try anyways. Good luck, everyone!
-
Oh, I said I'd join, but I never specified a character~
Reisen. Possibly Suwako and Sanae as well, but yeah probably just Reisen.
And for Hamachi:I have it, but I don't need it to host.
-
Well... if you say so. I guess I'm in, then. When is it?
Every time I start thinking about a date, more people join. I think at this point it's going to be the day after the first day that nobody signs up. :V
-

That's the right attitude to have. I've only had UNL for a week myself (I haven't played IaMP or SWR before either), and I'm still finding out what's even in this game. If anything, entering this tournament could give me a chance to learn a lot more about UNL.
As long as it's held anytime past Sunday night, when I get Internet back on my laptop (which has my UNL game on it), then I'll join too. Utsuho main, maybe adding Suika if I have enough time to learn her (just put down Utsuho for now). I don't have Hamachi.
Just curious, is there a requirement that I be able to host in general? I run off my university's Internet, so many ports became closed. I haven't found any open ones yet, nor have I been able to definitively open any (I've tried).
-
Well, it seems my internet can't really connect to anyone, and hamachi won't install on my computer, so I might have to drop out. T_T
Oddly enough, it works sometimes, but not all that often.
-
Slight update: My computer has gotten hit pretty hard with some malware viruses. I'm treating it best I can, but its been going so far downhill ever since I fear I may need to reformat, so if that happens expect some delays regarding me being able to participate (or use the internet at all, for that matter).

Yikes. That's the same reason why I had to wait for my laptop to come in before this could start, considering I didn't get an XP disc with my desktop computer.
Speaking of my laptop, it took a whole six days for an update from Asus to render the wireless card completely useless. Unless someone has experience with Asus laptops and their apparent tendency to do this, my ability to pop in here (and even get my matches done) is going to be limited as well. So if I suddenly end up being gone for a bit, it's not because I died, it's because my computer did (again :().
Anyway, I see there isn't anyone new signed up (in fact, quite the opposite :(), so I'll set up brackets soon.
-
I'd like to try too. My characters, if I can join, are Youmu, Patchy, and Suwako. I can't host though and I'm not sure if I know how to use Hamachi. Also, anyone go to Gamefaqs? I tend to be there and if you see me (in yugioh 2009 or Anime and Manga: Other Titles), please remind me.
-

Well, this hit rather abruptly, so I was pretty unprepared. It got to the point where whenever I turned on the computer all I was greeted with was a black screen and explorer window for accessing files.
I should be fine now that it's done, but I don't have access to any of my touhou games for a while (and I was unable to save the .DAT files for the fighting games, so I'll have to unlock all Reisen's cards again once the game is up and running again).
-
(and I was unable to save the .DAT files for the fighting games, so I'll have to unlock all Reisen's cards again once the game is up and running again)
Or you could use this score123.dat and have 4+ of all cards unlocked automatically. (http://swr.mizuumi.net/stuff/score123.dat)
-

Err, I could, but then the scores and such aren't actually mine... Besides, assuming I just stick to Reisen it shouldn't take that long to unlock all her cards, right?
-
Anyway, I see there isn't anyone new signed up (in fact, quite the opposite :(), so I'll set up brackets soon.
Sign me up too (I asked earlier this page). Utsuho main, don't have Hamachi.
Did I word my previous post wrongly? I wonder if that's why I didn't see my name on the sign-up list before.
-

Oh, sorry. I saw you, but apparently I forgot to add you/accidentally refreshed the page mid-edit without noticing.
-
Sorry but you will need to take my friend off the brackets. I invited him, but wasn't interested in it. Sorry about that.
-
This looks fun. I'll sign up if this is going to be sometime soon. (Read: If this is not during my finals week.) I don't think Hamachi matters either way for me.
Characters:
Komachi, Youmu, Reisen

This looks fun. I'll sign up if this is going to be sometime soon. (Read: If this is not during my finals week.) I don't think Hamachi matters either way for me.
Characters:
Komachi, Youmu, Reisen
If the rate at which people join/leave dies off soon, then we'll start. Taking that out of consideration, I believe Tuesday and Wednesday should be good days for me to have everything organized and ready to go on.
-
Err, I could, but then the scores and such aren't actually mine... Besides, assuming I just stick to Reisen it shouldn't take that long to unlock all her cards, right?
You could always just use it for the tournament then delete it afterwards if it bugs you that much.
Cards take awhile to get anyway, and I certainly wouldn't want to hamper my chances of placing well in a tournament over something as simple as a replaceable file.

What's the format of the tournament going to be? Swiss? Elimination?
-
What's the format of the tournament going to be? Swiss? Elimination?
Single elimination.
Also, regarding characters, I've decided that everyone will be limited to one character as originally planned, but said character won't need to be picked until the first round. In other words, whoever you use in round 1 is who you'll stick with. As such, I'm erasing the character selections in the first post.
Expect this to start Tuesday.
-
We allowed to use more than one deck for our chosen character, or the same one the whole time?
-
Yeah, it would probably be a good idea to at least allow changing (pre-assembled) decks.
-
We allowed to use more than one deck for our chosen character, or the same one the whole time?
I thought it went without saying you're allowed to use multiple decks. Even then, it was one of the first things I mentioned when character choice was being discussed. :V
-
I'd like to join but i can't netplay on my school's campus. all computers here and in order to connect your own computer for internet access run through the school's network and it blocks the game ahha. if i was at home i'd play. I can only play via hamachi, I've no idea how to forward ports so i can't play without hamachi at all sadly.
my mains would be Remilia 3 times cause i have 4 decks and 4 different ways to play her ;)
I'd love to get the replays and see how everyone did though haha.
Edit:
And i don't mind the weather at all. To me its just another thing. it doesn't affect my play style at all. only one that is a slight problem is typhoon since you can't block. all the other weathers have never changed how i play really. in other words adaption and as Lord Shishio used to say "Survival of the Fittest is the Key" ;D can't survive then you die
-
Typhoon is horrible for Meiling :<
-
I'd like to sign in as well (if it's not too late), even though I've never netplayed before. I'll be using Reisen, and I'm pretty sure I won't need Hamichi, since I fowarded port 10800 (which I think is what port it uses).

It would've been if I was here yesterday :V
Consider yourself added. Brackets will be going up around 5 PM CST today if everything goes as planned (which in my case it usually doesn't).
OH HEY GUESS WHAT HAPPENED
Shooting for tomorrow now.
-
I've tried to get players from.. my country (:p).. to participate, but I'm afraid that there won't be enough time until the registration period ends.. (lol @ myself, procrastinating TH12.3 practice.. I haven't even started experimenting with the characters' alt. spellcards :p)

Well, I've got a bracket made on paper, the problem is finding time to recreate it on a computer. irl waits for no one. :V
But that aside, it *should* be up tonight. And I'll need to play less Guilty Gear until I lose in this, because it's screwing me up. :V
-
How much time will we have to face our opponents once the brackets are up? I won't have access to my computer for at least most of the night tonight (potentially all of it, though I hope not), so I hope that doesn't screw me over. Also, I imagine we can arrange our matches over the chat?

For round 1, I'm currently thinking "Until next Friday, but sooner if at all possible."
Go about setting up matches however. If you want to use the thread for it, I have no objections.

Oh, I already have one made, I just haven't had time to put it in image format.
Though I could just post who's playing who for the first round so it's not holding this up. In fact, I think I'll do that. Expect an edit in a couple minutes.
Esoterica vs NeoSerela
Funen1 vs Demonbman
WhyDoYouLieToMe vs Suikama
ShiningDrake vs PrismYoshi
huh what vs Siesta410
Copyrighted vs CarbuncleFlux
goldblade0 vs Fireseal
Garlyle vs AlexX
Serafie vs Patorikku
Verloren vs Shadowbringer
Rules:
-No stages are banned.
-The character you decide to play as in the first round is the character you'll be using for the rest of the tournament.
-Save replays of your matches as proof of who won. I'd also like to upload these to YouTube if nobody's opposed to this.
-You have until next Sunday (December 13) for round 1.
This will be going in the first post as well for easy access.
-
Is this best of 3 or just one round?
Anyway, I can't PM people (only 5 posts), so uh I have no idea how I'm going to organize a match, would it be okay if I used this topic?
-

Just one match.
And yeah, go right ahead. If we could use the IRC here that'd be pretty awesome for this, but I'm not really sure if they'd appreciate us flooding it for this sort of purpose.
-
You could always make a hamachi channel simply for the purpose of organizing matches, even if half the players don't actually need it to play
-
Mmm... Totally forgot can't pm 'till 10 posts... Well, Suikama, I'll be on both the #shrinemaiden and #hitousen (prefer hitousen, since it's always empty) irc channels whenever I'm on the forum, so if your ready for our match, then please go there.
-

Bring. It. ON!

K. I'm fairly busy right now, but when I find some time I'll poke my head in there
-
goldblade0: I can't reply to a PM until I've spammed the forums more. =/ I can make time almost anytime, so if you want to shoot me some days/times that work for you I'll see what I can do.
I'm on U.S. Central Time, but I'm also somewhat nocturnal.
-
Bring. It. ON!
Hell yeah! You good for tomorrow or tonight? AIM? IRC? State your preference (and screen name; mine is always Carbunkle Flux XP) and I will get in touch.

>:D I changed my avatar just for this purpose. Tommorow, 1:00 PM PST. This is subject to change considering my sister likes to hijack my computer. I'm actually typing on my spare right now. My AIM is asiannewfag.
-
heheh, I see ^_^. I've got your AIM name down then. I look forward to a good match.
EDIT: Wait, actually, PST? That's like, 10 AMy for me. Can it be like 3 or 4 PM PST? At the very least noon EST o_o.
-
Fireseal: it seems I wont be able to play until monday night at the earliest, So you ok with that, at 11:00PM CST?
-
Unfortunetly, Finals week is the next two weeks, so I regret to say that I will be unable to attend the competition. Sorry guys, but there's no way I could get everything in order and keep up with my school work at the same time.
-

goldblade0: Yep, that works for me. 11 PM on Monday.

This unfortunately. I really need my focus on school so I don't screw up more than I already have.

I'm afraid so, which means no enjoying my lovely Scorching Sun + Reisen Poison combo. T.T I also love Eyesight Cleaning, but then that might be just me.

...Oh goddamnit, I wanted to fight a good Reisen! ;-;
-
...Oh goddamnit, I wanted to fight a good Reisen! ;-;
I think there is two or three other people playing Reisen in the tournament too (including me) so maybe you'll still get to do it :3
Also I get to fight the tournament maker awesome. @Esoterica, will you be available today (Sunday) to fight sometime?
-
Sure, 3:00 works. I don't know where you live, so yeah...
East Coast US, which makes me a bit concerned about lag.
I had my time zones mixed up. 1 PST is fine. For some reason I was thinking about GMT.
I'll be around.
-
Esoterica, what do we do once the match is over? Do we send you the replay? Upload it somewhere and post it in the thread, what?
-
So, Pat, got any time you'd prefer to fight? I'm available 7:00PM-11:30PM EST on weekdays, and pretty much all day on weekends. :V
-
Fireseal and others I fight: contacting me on MSN works very well, if you have it. I added it to my acount just now. I'll likely have the server setup about 10 min early.

Sorry, I wasn't home at all today until recently. I will (should) be free tomorrow from 3-5 PM CST or so, if that works for you.
Esoterica, what do we do once the match is over? Do we send you the replay? Upload it somewhere and post it in the thread, what?
PMing it would probably work best. If you can't attach it to a PM, Rapidshare it or something. And of course, I'll need to know who's who.
-

Aaah, CST is GMT+/- how many hours? If CST is Caucasus Standard Time GMT+4, we might have a bit of a problem since whenever I get home from school it'll be past midnight over there. And on weekdays I definitely don't have time to fight before school(Only here now because I missed my bus :V), wouldn't be able to fight till at least Saturday then.

Central Standard Time, GMT-6.
I'd assume that changes things a bit? :V
E: If your local time in your profile is accurate, it'll be 9-11 PM there when it's 3-5 PM here. Does that work?
E2: We're going to have to do this tomorrow, actually. I'm going to be busy again today.

I'm GMT-5 (inaccurate profile apparently) so I'm only one hour ahead of you. So, everything should be fine then. What time will you be avaliable tommorow?

oh, awesome
4-6 PM your time, though by the sounds of it there's going to be a really nasty blizzard tomorrow at noon, so I may be available sooner (read: may. My school would keep us in -30F with 3 feet of snow on the ground so long as there wasn't wind whipping it everywhere.)
-
Holycarp I forgot all about the tournament! o-o
Yeah, I have my weekdays wide open from 4:00pm onwards, excluding Thursday. I have EST time, so... Yeah. No hamachi! I cannot work with it!
-
Well, I'm fine without Hamachi. Can you host? I don't think I can...
-
Awwww i guess i joined too late to try out for the touney. Gl to all those in the line up.
-
Fireseal: The server is up for whenever you enter, and will be until about 11:15, or till you join
-
@ Talryu: ditto here...I didn't even know there was one being organized until I found this forum.
Hopefully there will be other casual tournaments being run. I'll need to practice more.
-
The match between Fireseal and Me went well, and by well I mean I failed miserably. First match facing someone online, moreso someone who I dont know. Learned from it though. Hope you get a laugh out of me dieing there. PMed to Esoterica, so he can decide where to put it up
-
That you hank? Man I'm angry that I didn't know about this >.<
-
I can host, for sure. Unless you mean 7 pm PST, I'll be ready to play whenever you want.
-
I'll get you next time Carbuncle...Just you wait...
-
I've decided to back out of this tournament. Partly due to busy schoolwork coming up (finals week starts soon) and partly due to lack of interest in playing UNL.
-
Can I take his spot somehow?
-
I agree with Kasei, mainly because I need a opponent now.
-
Yeah, sorry to leave you hanging like this, but I just don't feel like doing this anymore.
By the way, you could just take the win by default...
-

PAH! no way!
-
Well, if both of you want Kasei to fill in, I guess I don't really have any objection to it.
-
That would be cool I'd just need some other form of contact maybe aside from the forums but if its all you got PMs work too
-
I seem to have the complete inability to PM or at least, have no idea how. So here's a Rapidshare for you, Esoteria:

if this doesn't work, i'm opting for email :|.
I'll get you next time Carbuncle...Just you wait...
I look forward to playing actual Suwakos for a change ^_^. Frogs are rare in the wild, it seems.

You can't PM until after 10 posts, but Rapidshare works just fine.

Yeah, go for it.
-
Ok I'll have to figure out a Time i CAN host but theres a slight risk of it DCing but it dosnt happen that often so
-
sorry for the double post but my match got pushed back to tomorrow im gonna dirrectly connect my laptop back to my modem that way no change of Dcing and router getting in the way
-
It's been 5 or so days and I haven't seen my opponent at all, they only have 2 posts so I can't PM them either. What should I do?
-
Get to posting
-
Er...I only had 2 posts and my opponent PM'd me. I don't think the recipient matters, just the PM'er.

forgive my intrusion despite not being interested (i SUCK at unl), but i thought using hamachi actually increases latency?

It does. That's why I've been trying to limit any use of Hamachi whenever it was mentioned.

Sorry about that. Do you use any type of messenger or something so we can get in contact? I'm a slow poster. :<
-
We still haven't had our match Suikama, so how about we set up a time today? I'm open pretty much all day today so how does 4 pm PST sound to you? If that's not good you could post a good time and we can meet on the #hisouten irc channel.

Erm which server?
-
/me checks the thread after a long leave of absence.
I was one of the original people interested, but I dropped off of the internet to focus on school. Normally, I'd offer to replace in this situation, but I haven't figured out if I can get netplay working on my university connection. I'll have to ask around and check myself before I can definitely offer to replace in.
-
Erm which server?
Umm... 10800 would be best since I've already fowarded it, but if you want a different one, just let me know.
-

Also I have time to play now if you want
-

Sure we can play now, the #hisouten server on http://webchat.ppirc.net/
-
GG, I won :V
Here's the replay
-
Sorry about that. Do you use any type of messenger or something so we can get in contact? I'm a slow poster. :<
I have MSN, but I'd rather not give it away for a small tournament. I'll make an alt account later if necessary though.
-
wow someone paranoid.... Also I cant get a hold of my opponent anymore >.< they came on at like 1 am and hasnt been on since. I was even willing to connect my laptop up to my modem so we wouldnt lag or DC
-
it seems that my procrastination may disqualify me :(
I've been delaying TH12.3 practice and experimenting, and so, I've delayed my match against Verloren until now.. I hope I can get this match done today.. <_>
(I'm usually at the #shrinemaiden irc room, on irc.ppirc.net , sent a pm to Verloren right before posting this..)
lesson 1: I must stop procrastinating like this :(
-
It seems like everyone's been procrastinating. 20 people signed up, 4 replays presented, and today was the deadline. :-\
Either I extend the deadline, or we proceed with a really small playerbase tomorrow.
-
Yeah I probably should've shared my experience with the IaMP tournament we had a while back; if you just set up matches on the forum and have the players find each other, nobody will ever play.
If you want to do a tournament you need to schedule it for a weekend one-day thing, and make it mandatory for everyone to show up in IRC (or something) that day. Then you bang out all the matches then and there.
-
I just recently sent Serafie a PM, and hoping that s/he (apologies in advance, I have trouble with genders online) reads it. I'll get the replay in ASAP when the round ends.
-
As much as I'm itching to play more, this isn't like it's a big event with cash prizes, it's a more casual forum tournament. Half the people get eliminated each round, so it should become less and less of a problem. I say extend the deadline a bit, let people finish some matches, as long as they don't take too long.
-
omg he still hasnt even been online
-
I lost to Seraphie. gg. Sending replay now.
-
I agree with Stuffman about everyone meeting in an IRC room, in the case the deadline is extended, one should be set up as soon as possible, and we should try to use it as soon as it's up. Firefox users (such as myself) may use ChatZilla, or the webchat site listed a few topics above..
so... will we use #hisouten on ppirc.net?
-
Wish I posted more so I had the PM ability. :V
If there's no extension then sorry I took too long.
-
I'm still trying to figure out where my opponent is >.< no replies to my PMs
-
Ya know, My Sis has homeschool finals and she wouldnt let me on the internet at all, and My typing class doesnt let us go on the internet, so there was so way I could get on
-
I'm extending the deadline another week, since there are still plenty of people that haven't been able to get their matches in yet.
-

THANK YOU!!
-
Two more days until moving on to the next round after the ever-gracious one-week extension.
Guess how many replays I've gotten. >:(
-
I don't want to drop from the tournament, even though I feel that I haven't yet learned enough to really attempt to get a good placement (or even not look so terrible in Youtube :p). I'll stay, and die with dignity. :p
(I haven't got a reply from Verloren since the tournament started, and everytime I visit the #hisouten channel in irc.ppirc.net, the channel is empty.)
-
I suppose this means the rest of the tourney will be either ridiculously small, or involve everyone who got in a replay. Even the losers.
-
By my count there's 2 people that had their opponent withdraw, and 6 people that haven't had a match.
What about shuffling the matchups so that the people that haven't been able to get ahold of their opponent play each other?

Anyone who's here still that doesn't have their opponent here will just advance.
-
Eh?
-
Well uh I'm still here
Siesta, if you want to use msn to organize our match, PM me your account and I'll add you I guess. I don't really have anything else that could be used if you lack it, though.
-
i dont get the post...
-
Yeah, it's been at least a week since the extension I think, what now?
-
Yeah, it's been at least a week since the extension I think, what now?
Yeah, sorry. I've been busy with last-minute Christmas shopping, among other things. I'll try to get the bracket for the next round made tomorrow morning/tonight, though I'm not going to have an internet connection then to post it with.
-
It's been like 5 days, is this still going on?
-
. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8E_zMLCRNg)
-
Oh damn, I forgot all about this.
If everyone hasn't died yet we can keep going with it I suppose. Then again I only got four replays back, which means four people out of 20 advancing, meaning only two matches next round...I dunno, it's up to you guys. Even if it continues, there's not really going to be much to it. Either way I've decided against putting the matches on YouTube.
-
Honestly, I'm not especially interested in this anymore myself =/ Might as well just give up on it really.
-
Assuming everyone is still around (which I doubt, since it's been over a month), there's more than 4 people. A few people withdrew, and some people never actually had a match.
Just sayin', there's more than 2 rounds left.
For my part...I dunno, on the one hand it seems like it'd be futile to try and pull it all back together, but I came in hoping to play people, and I still want to play people, so I'm all for playing on.
-
I'm still willing to play if I can actually seem to organize a match with my opponent.
