The negatives don't necessarily need to be cut out. They just need to be
re-worded in a manner that is positively and beneficially critical, i.e.
I'm not hating on your event, I'm just trying to highlight issues that
could be addressed in future.

Yeah i feel like there's too much negative aspect. I'll probably cut some
out that's not as serious. The whole trash talking rule thing is a bummer
but it wasn't a big deal towards the tournament.
From my experience as the player. The tournament was pretty ok. It was
free lolz. But most of the negative issue is from specator's experience.

Good write up, but it does feel like there are too many negative issues
even though that was really the case from our perspective.
For the swearing and trash-talking thing, I'd just say that it was an odd
rule considering the game is 18+, and in general adults are responsible.
Mentioning the JHB makes it seems like a tit-for-tat issue. I'd also just
say that sometimes the officials killed the mood by asking the spectators
to be quiet rather than mentioning the "Shut the hell up" aspect. It's
weird because the players were given headphones, and if they chose not to
use them its on them. Although, I can't really remember if we were asked
to shut up. I know we were asked to move, but I can only recall the issue
with LB that killed the hype.

Here's a quick write up i did.
I think i got most of your inputs about the event. I'm trying to make is
sound neutral and "nice" lolz. Even though there's more complaints and
praise.
Will try to iron it out and make it more readable.
Feels a bit odd having to write up about my own matches...not sure how i
can write that without looking like a kiss ass...maybe you guys can do that
for me.

yep, Tournament Organiser
Swiss is also unhype.
It takes way too long. With all those setups, we couldv'e done 3-4
different games in the same time using double elim.
Plus, you could go the entire tourney without losing and then lose once
in the finals. Whereas someone else could lose once or twice and still win
the whole thing.

For one, Swiss rules gives byes more significance than number of
games won.

Could someone explain why swiss rules isn't a good idea for
professional player? i get that it works for casual players because they
get to play more than 1 game. But how does the swiss rule fail where
double
elimination works?
i'm not too familiar with the swiss rules in fighting games...since
it's my first time. the only issue i see is some one from the bubble may
end up in top 16 battling casual players who won against casual players.

It's already so vulnerable on recovery. Why do we have to spend 50%
of our stamina to do so?
if backdashing doesn't use stamina. It'll help against mix up
characters and strings. Since most safe + abusable strings have gaps.
Also plz fix mileena's backdash...it sucks. lolz

I know it's wrong for a game of this nature, but I tend to think

What uses stamina in real life?
That kind of thing.
IMO
Backdashing shouldn't use stamina
Block counters shouldn't use stamina.
Running should use stamina.
Strings should use stamina.

How about characters with faster runs takes more stamina?
Cassie's b124 is a half screen advancement move...fuck. 10frames and
0 on block...you can technically backdash out of the last hit so it wiff.
But nothing is guaranteed. You lose 50% of stamina for not giving her
0frames on block but she can simply do it again to advance.
However, you can use armor moves to fuck it up. But this would only
be useful for those who have armor moves that launches.

backdashing shouldn't require stamina. Since it only dodges a few
frames on the move and you can't block for a while...so technically it's
very risky. Running requiring stamina is fine by me. Because they want to
eliminate the whole MK9 dash block stuff. Also it will reduce some
character's offense...aka Cassie. Cassie without meter doesn't do much.
If
running doesn't cost meter...Cassie would be insane. Along with other
great
pressure characters.
Cassie's corner rocket set up is so messed up. Only way you can dodge
it is to backdash it at the right moment so you don't block or get hit by
the rocket...by backdashing...you're vulnerable and can't block for a
while. Meaning, you dodge the rocket yes. But Cassie can just do 212~flip
and start a combo while you're still recovering from the backdash...
I'm playing this bitch lolz

I don't get why you lose all stamina after, and why breaking requires
stamina on top of meter. I don't get why backdashing requires stamina.
If I had to change the game I would make it so that movement options
don't require stamina, but any combos that involve running depletes the
bar.
