Twinkle Star Sprites tourney interest check

Post by seraph »

I'm considering the possibility of organizing a Twinkle Star Sprites tournament, if there are enough people who would participate. Is anyone interested or might know people who are interested? Don't be shy!

I would join, at least if it's on fightcade. Still a beginner but should be fun!

I'm showing interest.
Dates are important. June is bad. Fightcade shorthand instructions are helpful.

I'm planning to use fightcade, yes. You need a neo geo bios and a twinkle star sprites rom in the roms folder; the rest should be straightforward. I would hope each match is verified with a replay. The tourney would probably be next month.

It looks like we have 10 people so far, which is definitely enough in my opinion! Anyone else who wants to take part, I'll ask you to please say so before July 1st.

Last chance to post a previous high score for higher seeding. I will be making an official-ish tournament thread after July 4, so people from all around the world, please enjoy America day. :3

You can let people sign up directly from challonge, which actually works better. Don't worry about randoms joining or anything.

I have a friend or two who'd like to join, but he don't have accounts here.

Aren't Mevious and Memory (boss characters) usually banned in tournaments?

Okay, here's a signup page in case anyone would prefer to join this way. Seeds are still as follows: 1) Zil, 2) seraph. The rest are in the order they joined.

Regarding secret characters: I'll leave it up to you guys whether to ban them or not. I don't care either way.

Registered :)

Here is a tier list: http://www.gamefaqs.com/arcade/575712-t ... faqs/56584 (does mention Memory and Mevious being banned in tournaments)
It links to a nice ressource about the game: http://www.geocities.jp/r13_5034/0000.html. Has videos about perfecting patterns and high level matches (the best games I have ever seen, actually).
You could also check these channels: Enhasa's https://www.youtube.com/user/EnhasaSDA/videos, and mikwuyma's https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... 5424394858, who uploaded some matches from the geocities website. I have also uploaded some matches of mine on my channel a long time ago, see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... 75109D791B

Now go training ;)

Damn! Work shift starts 2.5 hours after the tourney starts. Will have to no-show this one.

This looks like it'll be a lot of fun. Hopefully there will be more events like this in the future.
