Based on numbers, if the sponsors were looking to get into FG tourneys,
Cape Town would prob be their city of choice, IMO

Cape Town featured 64 players, Gauteng had 41 and Durban had 32.
Since the brackets were originally capped to 32 and then extended to 64,
there could have probably been more entrants.

I asked one of the officials if Wesley's brother could enter if there
were no-shows, and she told me that there were 90-something people that
registered. I dunno if she meant they rest were on a waiting list or just
spectators, but if entrance caps weren't an issue, then they could get some
big numbers.

I don't consider MK X a rush down game. Cheap down game is more apt.

Mkx backdash being so expensive is because of the knee jerk reaction by
nr to make mkx a more rushdown game.
Everyone gave mk9 shit for how turtlespammy it was.

You never need swiss for fgs.
My fav is rr for pools then de bracket.

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

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

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.
