Is the jump a bit stupid? Yes I agree. The goal is balance. The better player will always get the better score on the higher song. That's just how it is.

I get it you hate the tiebreaker rules. But don't tell me you were blind sighted by the fact there's a 12, when the OP states pretty clearly that tiebreakers are final difficulty +1 and I was even kind enough this time around to post the final difficulties.

Middie probably just chose this so the tourney could continue.

I personally think Middie's a great Tourney host. Matched us up quite well.

No I picked it because I personally can't even FC it. I thought neither of you would come close to FCing it. It was meant to make you PA.

Just play the song, beat your opponent's score, move on.
Easy as that.

I can't say I don't understand his frustration, but I also can't say it's stupid because everyone who actually read the whole OP should be clear of how it works. I don't waste my time trying to think of all the outcomes for people to get blind sighted. Everything you need to know is in the OP.

there's a transition period between separate divisions for a reason... hell why do you think YOSHl is in D3 with us? he has Oni, shouldn't he be at least D4?

I mean... fuck, picking a song like this doesn't feel like a fair end to the battle we've been having at all. you may as well say YOSHl is D2 cause the rest of his scores don't say D3 or higher, then get in a AAA tiebreaker two times in a row, and then give them an FMO jacking song as a tiebreaker in D2.

it just doesn't fucking make any sense. you'd maybe think that you'd give the person YOSHl is facing a *chance* at beating him.

in my metaphor, you are YOSHl and can jack. middie gave us a jacking song, and i'm a D2 player that can't jack. so yes... i'm mad i have no chance of redeeming myself from this tie breaker, but i don't want to continue bitching about it ~_~

First off, YOSHl clearly proved to me that unless the song is mostly jacks, he won't rape the shit out of it. He sucks at literally every other pattern. He's actually a really easy opponent. Plus there's the rule of which I can veto song picks. In his case I would take high consideration to vetoing a song that has a lot of longer jacks in it. There are rules in place to balance things like this.

On the note of someone saying I was a shitty host: This person was pretty upset at his song choice as well. Even though his stats show he should, in theory, be very even with his opponent on it.

I will not change the tiebreaker rule though. This is the only way I feel to guarantee a non tie breaking result, without a landslide victory. This rule is based off the assumption that you've been placed in the correct division. The only time this rule has a flaw is if I've misplaced you, which in that case, I have been a bad host.

In short (tl;dr): I'm not mad at Zero at all, I understand where he's coming from. It's things like this that help me to be a better host to you guys. As for how it went down, I might be a little less likely to use the DF engine for tie breakers so I can check your stats next go around so that it seems more fair song choice wise.

I don't give easy wins in my tournies, you have to work hard for them. I'm going to keep it that way.

Now please guys if you have a thought on this, PM it please. I'd like to talk to you there rather than clog the thread with walls of text. Thank you.

Im out. I just can't stand that song.

[xXAll-ProXx]

Wow. So much text, not enough scores. I would've probably read all of this even though it's total "csb" if I was home but thank God I got lost in a forest for 10 hours, even though I almost ended up eating one of my friends cause I was ****ing hungry.

P.S. Although, I did literally take a bite on this chick's leg

[Sweet_Feet]

I don't want to sound like I'm bitching.. but thou findst thee rounds far too long

D:
I feel you could win pretty easily here. Just fc the song and get 2 goods less and I would be in trouble because I have not been able to clean up the score i first posted.
As far as not liking the song goes, just play it without sound?

...
Well I wish I noticed this earlier.
Nice sup, Max. Grats.

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

Shit rounds over.

Updating.

Edit: DONE. SEND SONG CHOICES PEOPLE.

thanks.

Woulda been nice if you gave middie a heads up you weren't gonna be here for round 2 tho. Free round for me :/

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

Actually I knew. I joked with him that I was gonna extend the round a day but he said no.

I also don't remember if he asked for for an extension so if he needed/wanted one he'd be able to take it.

[SkRAWRk]

I don't really know many 8's, so... 'eh, Middie can pick mine. :P

Also, I'm disgusted at how difficult people find Winnipeg. o.0;

[Xayphon]

I'm screwed :3'

[yo man im awesome]

I find it as a typical FGO, not that bad.


Lol Middie, how did I know you were going to choose YOSHl as my opponent?

[-zeroSKILL-]

Thank you middie, for taking the points I made into consideration. I don't find you a terrible host for this (just had to bust it out cause you commented on how "at least [i] didn't call [you] a terrible host" in prochat, figured I'd give a light ribbing in here for that).

And yes, it would've been a bit more fair I feel to pick a song from FFR as our tiebreaker, because with as rusty as I am I'm doing horrible on charts with hands, and most of my level ranks will show that (can't even SDG In The Wind l0l). I'm just not able to read fast enough atm to PA them properly and tend to handle walls of hands as walls of quads (hence the stupid boo counts I was getting).

Either way, I knew yo man was gonna win after we compared some FGO scores via PM (PS, you delete replays by clicking the [X] next to them).

Any way, good luck to the rest of the players involved, and was fun going into double over time against you yo man. Just wish it had been a bit more fair of a pick as the final tie breaker so we could've had an epic tiebreaker showdown instead of you just steamrolling me lmfao.

[WSCB]

*00Razor00 VS WSCB* - U srs?! xD

[00Razor00]

heheheh

[xXAll-ProXx]

Guru please don't pick something super hard for me, like AIM Anthem or Club that'd be a dick move lol then I'll pick something like Sparkle Downer, and I could get 3g clean on it easly.


Just saying I chose an easy song for Plan, and so did he (kinda).

[psychoangel691]

Free pass

I actually wanna play lol. Plus since whats his name didn't submit last round I already basically got one. So if you wanna trade me out with someone feel free and please do.

See, normally I'd be more than happy to do this, but I'm not sure whether or not I'm willing to pass up Yoshl. We'll see.

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

Well Yo Man, there's still a chance YOSHl will win or lose. So I dunno if someone's willing to switch I'm more than happy to move it accordingly...

What was I thinking giving it to you since you pretty much had one x.x
