2-5 days to do whatever division song.

Winner goes through until the semi-file and so forth.

I would actually like to see that happening honestly, haha. Would it be "unfair"? Yeah... but I think it would make for interesting competition.

It would be unfair. Kind of. It NEEDS to be randomly generated. I honestly would love to see it happen though. Because that alone can change who wins.

But if there is a tournament that is not an official that does this, I would absolutely be down to try it.

I've been thinking about it actually to try it out myself from time to time. Not now of course.

2nd official tournament was bracket style and each person was seeded and placed based on level ranks. i think it'd be cool to have another like that one day

A bracket style tournament would more closely emulate other rhythm game tournaments, but... gauntlet (what we're doing now) is a lot more practical considering how large the divisions are. You would need a hybrid mix between gauntlet/bracket to work best (change to bracket when down to 16 people?).

It's certainly not a bad idea for user-run tournaments, because upsets do have the potential to happen if the host analyzes level ranks and picks relatively close songs.

**psychoangel691** · 02-13-2013, 05:29 PM

I'm not against shorter rounds personally but in the winter when people have school and stuff sometimes people need them.

**Razor** · 02-13-2013, 05:30 PM

I love how D4 is the only division without an AAA.

mwahahah

**Raining Nails** · 02-13-2013, 05:34 PM

Ugh. I'm now down to 16th in D4 and I can't seem to do better than 12-0-1-4 for some reason. I'm slowly getting mindblocked on the opening so I'd better stop for awhile. This is exactly what happened to me in the last official in round 4. On top of that, I will not be able to play again until next Tuesday after tomorrow due to my crazy social life, work life and traveling all over the place.

Why do I torture myself with this game?

Hey PaperclipGames - want to trade scores?

Same gauntlet/bracket style as the pre-elimination rounds in DB and DBZ?

That's exactly what I had in mind, for each division of course.

**syite** · 02-13-2013, 05:36 PM

@Charu That is exactly what came to mind when I read your post.

I'm nominating you to host this tournament, if its not part of the official.

**Dynam0** · 02-13-2013, 05:54 PM

I don't see the greater disadvantage of doing a full-bracketed tourney compared to gauntlet. The winner of a division with 128 players could be concluded in 7 rounds this way. I remember that 2nd official by the way; it was the only tourney I had competed in before and would remain that way until the 7th official and I still remember losing to darkshark on FotBb (goddamn trills). Never did get my prize for placing 3rd or w/e it was

Anyways, it's something to think about. The only hitch would be figuring out how to seed people which would be slightly more time consuming (and possibly next to impossible for low divisions) than getting accurate division placements and since these placements alone cause an uproar it would be quite 'interesting' to see people whine about their rankings lol

Agreed, a bracket style tournament would easily be rage bait~ but Charu, i'm definitley up for it! I do like the idea, but a lot of people won't. But who cares i think it would be awesome to give it a try!(Perhaps a trial run first, then possibly depending on the outcome it could be implemented into the official tournament if people are up for it.)

Actually, Dossar had a perfect run in the 6th tourney, 8 rounds AAAs. The only file he didn't AAA was D5's last file, Do I Smile?.

His 8th AAA was Rave7, and his 7th was Husigi...

... I think!

He did indeed have a perfect run, however, they're last file was not Do I Smile?, DoS? was the tiebreaker for the final round of D6. D5's final was Scrap Syndrome.
