Shmupsfarm Twinkle Star Sprites Summer 2016 Tournament

Post by seraph »

Welcome!!!

For this first qualifying tier, everyone is going to play their match of three games (each consisting of three rounds) against their opponent and report the results in this thread. Screenshots and replays are welcomed but as long as both competitors agree on the result, it will be accepted. Due to life commitments and such, I expect this to take several days, but for now I will give everyone one week to complete their matches. If more time is desired, please request it beforehand. If someone forfeits or otherwise does not show up, their opponent will be the winner. Those of us who have submitted gameplay to this forum have been seeded accordingly.

Rules:
-Please do not use Mevious or Memory, as the consensus seems to prefer it this way.
-Default settings please, including level 4 difficulty.
-The Japan region is preferred but not mandatory. I am not aware of any differences.
-Fightcade or official netplay are acceptable.
-This should be obvious but no cheating please!

This tournament will be double elimination. The first qualifying matches will be as follows:

The_Armchair_General vs. Doctor Butler (the winner will face Zil)
Domino vs. Sprites7 (the winner will face me, stardustreverie)
szycag vs. Fizzxwix (the winner will face Keade)
BrianC vs. Ratikal
zaarock vs. NeoStrayCat
SquireGrooktook vs. cham0mile
aeong vs. Kino
DJIncompetent vs. trap15

For the official bracket, click here. Ganbatte your best, everyone!

Match 2 has been forfeited by Domino, meaning Sprites7 will be facing me.

I went to PM my matchup and their username doesn't exist on the forum?

EDIT: the usernames are different here and on the official bracket (Fizzxwizz) but neither are on the forum.

szycag: I will PM Fizzxwizz on challonge and ask them to idle on fightcade when possible. You may make a challonge account and PM them yourself if you wish. I think from now on I will ask people to make an account here when participating in a tournament based here, haha.

I think it might be too late to sign into the tournament with your new account but your name is still on the bracket and you can still PM.

Ok, I PM'd the guy on Challonge 24 hours ago and still haven't heard anything.

I've been too busy watching SGDQ to practice. WAHHH

I'll consider this thread to be the tournament's "lobby" so if someone fails to respond on challonge or post in this thread within the week, I will consider them to have forfeited the match.

I have sent ratikal a PM on this forum and I'm waiting to hear back. My name on Challonge and FightCade is brianvgplayer. I didn't use it to log in to the tournament (I started to, but I was confused when it didn't overwrite BrianC).

Posting to escape damnation. All I can really do is wait since I don't know my opponent yet.

For the sake of whoever I play in the future, my name on fightcade is Tombas. I'm pretty much always in there so just find me any time.

No, I claimed a victory against Zae, the only problem now is just I'm waiting for the next match up, all I need to do is wait and be PM'd, as I usually check messages once in a while.

But yeah, this tourney thing wasn't really thought out with communication in mind at the start. >.>

If you want me to change it from 0-0, please report the number of games won by each player during the match.

DJ Incompetent has defeated trap15. Only one day left before I start putting the pressure on, people. ^^
