Okay guys, so it's already the end of the week, and that means it's time to give you the final rules and details of what's going to happen.

The more frequent visitors will know that I was discussing possibly removing characters to prevent spammers stressing other combatants out. However, I'm not going to do that. Instead, I'm going to give you one very good anti-spamming tip that managed to ensure my victory against a whole team of spammers with my normal and diverse attack style:

If you see an opponent with a team of Ironman, Sentinel and Ryu, depending on who comes out first will depend on how you play.

Ryu isn't strictly a spammer. Sure he can be, but Ironman and Sentinel are your biggest threats, so move towards and close in on these two characters AT ALL TIMES, and keep pinning them to the corner, attacking them every chance you get, but don't forget to block if they call in assists.

Pressing down and then up and towards the enemy will make you superjump towards them as well, getting you out of their way for the majority of the damage, and if possible, 3 way hyper combo Sentinel. This should help you at least a bit more. You've just got to remember that if you stay in the corner blocking, they will kill you. So block by all means, but if you get pushed back too far, use the super jump and towards tactic, and if you're gonna be hit on the way down, use a move that will temporarily suspend you in the air. Akuma's air hadoken should be fine for this. Same goes for Wolverines Drill Claw.

Anyway, on with the show!

Your mission is to fight each other with everything you have until everyone has gone up against everyone participating in this fight off.

I will constantly update this thread to inform you all of who you will be facing, and all I need you guys to do is to say in here (honestly) who won and who lost.

The person with the highest win count will be the overall winner on each console, but if multiple people share the same amount of wins, you will be put against each other until we have only one member in 1st place, one member in 2nd place and one member in 3rd place.

I will be making avatars for the three winners on each console, which are essentially your bragging rights to say how well you did in this event, and also how skilled you are as a fighter. More details for this will be written at the end of the tournament.

Right, so next up are the rules (we all love rules don't we? Sure we do! *people start rebelling*.....Pirates!):

1. Play nice - When fighting each other, don't swear at your opposition because you're losing. Just fight harder and aim to win!

In the unlikelihood that someone does get aggressive, I would like the "victim" to report this to me, upon which point I'll issue a warning, and if the person continues to be foul mannered, I may be forced to disqualify them. So, don't do this for both your and my sake please!

2. No cheating - If you lose but tell me you won your match when your opposition also claims he won, I will make you have a rematch. Don't do this because otherwise I'll come into the lobby and babysit you, so I can determine who the actual winner is.

For the 360 team ShinKagato will also do this.

3. Be diverse - Play how you want to play, but mix things up a little. Don't do the same move over and over and over until the enemy is dead. I can't enforce this rule, but I will match you up against anyone else who does this. If you spam, members are free to report it in here, at which point I'll refer the non spammers to my tip above, and they'll know how to defeat you when it comes around to their go.

4. I mentioned I wouldn't rule out any characters, and this is true, BUT only one spam character is allowed in each team, so choose wisely.

Major spam characters to choose from: Sentinel, Ironman, Magneto, Doctor Doom.

5. The most important rule of all - Have fun! Enjoy yourself. This is an opportunity to test you skill and show to the Capcom community just how good you are.

Please note - If you have any other rules that may prove beneficial, please tell me and I'll carefully consider them.

Now it's time for the main match details:

At the bottom of this post I'll list who's fighting who, and update the match details with a winner when the fight has finished.

Both you and your opponent will have to arrange amongst yourselves when your fight will actually take place, as you have to bare in mind some people will have busy life schedules. Though, you will only have a window of a week to arrange this.

If every fight is arranged fairly quickly, naturally I can move on quicker to tell you who your next opponent will be. So, you won't always have to wait a week before you can face your next opponent. Arranging things relatively fast so that I can update halfway through every week would be ideal, and it wouldn't drag things on for too long.

The last thing I want to say is for the first game, I'll PM (Private Message) you with details of who you're facing. This will also work as a reminder to those people not as active, but after this point, this thread will be your mission hub, so you'll have to check back here after every fight to tell me who won and find out who you'll be facing next.

Everyone happy? Good, then let's move on to the final phase!

Remember to add your opponent to your friends list, otherwise you won't be able to play against each other.

Practice Sessions are allowed, but please tell me in this thread when your fight is taking place. I'll try to get everyone in the PS3 team to join an 8 player lobby at some point.

Below, you'll find out who you're facing and because this is a league styled Tournament, if you lose you won't be knocked out.

The best of 5 games determines the winner. You will play all 5 matches and if you win all 5, you get 5 points. If you lose 2 and the opposition loses 3, you get 3 points and they get 2. A win equals a point. Everyone is required to play 5 games to keep things fair, and the point system in play.

Round 1:

PS3 Team

CaptainCortez
shadow2bolt (INTERNET-DIVIDER)
Carbonox_Ratchet
Black-Shuriken (ShoutenT)
Vocalists (camiluz)

Reserve: R_Navarro

Xbox Team

ShinKagato
Jack D Kelly
Leon Belmont X
Ryu_Kazama (Kazama Ryu)
Shadowakito

Point tally:

Ryu_Kazama - 12pts
Jack D Kelly - 9pts
ShinKagato - 5pts
Shadowakito - 4pts
CaptainCortez - 3pts
Carbonox_Ratchet - 2pts
Black-Shuriken - 0pts

You're going to be competing against each other regardless of the console you're on, meaning there will only be three overall winners.

This way you're still competing for something, and because there's an equal number of people playing on each team, it'll be much easier sorting things out. Still, no more drop outs please.

Ryu_Kazama VS Shadowakito - played 5-0
Ryu_Kazama VS ShinKagato - played 3-2
Ryu_Kazama VS Jack D Kelly - played 4-1
Jack D Kelly VS Shadowakito - played 3-2
Jack D Kelly VS ShinKagato - played 5-0
Shadowakito VS ShinKagato - played 2-3

Carbonox_Ratchet VS CaptainCortez - played 2-3
Carbonox_Ratchet VS Black-Shuriken
CaptainCortez VS Black-Shuriken

That's it! Have fun.

Stickied per request

CaptainCortez · 25-02-11, 10:07

Thanks matey.

Ryu Kazama · 25-02-11, 11:53

Wait, what? The spam rule is very much debatable. Magneto spam? Sure. Dormamu? Yes, to some, maybe not to others. Same for Arthur. I think the rule should be any team, any character.

CaptainCortez · 25-02-11, 11:57

Maybe, but nobody wanted characters removed, so I've done it a different way. That's 4 out of 36(?) playable characters that you have to choose between. It's fine.

It's only the four characters listed that you have to choose one of, otherwise you can have anyone like normal.

I've done it this way because I don't want people to have matches where they can't literally move. Sentinel, Magneto and Ironman are one of those teams, so I've taken the 4 biggest spam characters and made it so you can only have one (of your choosing).

It means everyone's still available. You just won't get spam teams.

Edit: Actually what I should have said was half of the people agreed with the idea of removing spam characters, where as the other half wanted nobody removed, so I met everyone in the middle with my rule above, which is why it's final and no longer open to debate.

JDK · 25-02-11, 13:22

i agree with ryu, i cant be changing my playstyle to get in line with some anti spam rule, i need to be relaxed when i play and just do what comes naturally, i zone heavily at times but also pull out consistent combos too, i do whats required at that point in the match, in one match you might see me take out an entire team with one character without even throwing a fireball, in another i might throw 200, its all about feeling your opponent out and its all in the game.

Im happy to still play but i can see people getting frustrated with me at times so if it happens ill just drop out and you guys can continue with out me okay?

as for matching us up do we really need to do that? surely as its a league we can just organise when we play each other ourselves in this thread, all that matters is we dont play each other more than once and we all play within a certain time?

as for the only one of 4 spam characters thats fine by me, but honestly ist silly as there are characters with just as much if not more fireball potential than the ones you have chosen, thor? ryu? morrigan using mirror etc

like for example ill play anyone who wants to tonight from 7 to 10, just let me know in this thread?

Also one big oversight nik, and i did prod you about this :P how many games, best of 3, best of 5?

also as its a league and ryus a regular cant we let him in, im worried im not going to have any competition, i dont mean to be a big head but u know as far as i know everyone else is preety newb?

CaptainCortez · 25-02-11, 13:47

I know there are a few more characters that can spam (and did actually think about including Thor in that list), but I didn't want to make the list any bigger, so took the most problematic characters I've found, and only included them as part of the rule.

Main reason I'm not gonna budge on the rules for spam characters is because if we keep debating things, nothing will get done. So, I've made the rules final so we can just get on with it. I'm not being unfairly stubborn or anything, but wanted to explain this to you.

If you spam with other characters, that's fine. People can get around them as they're not so problematic. I'm not asking you to change your play style. That's why I've made it so you have to choose out of those 4 if you want an epic tier spammer. That way you can still play how you normally would, but just not have a team of douchebags.

There's no need to drop out Jack. As long as you go by the above rules, even if you use Ryu to keep enemies at bay, they should be able to get around that by now. Play how you want to. I'm not limiting that.

As for arranging who you play with first. I only did it my way so 12 people aren't all trying to fight the same person at once. If I assign it myself, it's easier for you guys, and regarding Ryu, don't worry. I'm fully aware of all of this, but my biggest concern is that he won't have anyone to play in the first round (unless we have some no shows), because he has nobody to fight against, and I'm pretty sure he won't want to face every single opponent one after the other.

It's just hard because I need another player really, otherwise one person will be sitting out all of the time, being an odd number and all. Maybe you can get Jarlino interested?

As for matches, I'll let you decide, though I will make it a standard best of three. It's up to you guys if you want to play more though. I'm open to it.

JDK · 25-02-11, 13:53

okay doke, ill try and make jarl come play, im sure i can twist his arm.

so Shinkagato, let me know when you wanna play brother

CaptainCortez · 25-02-11, 14:06

Haha, literally.

Yea, I want everyone to play, even though I'm expecting some drop outs.

Pipboy V3 · 25-02-11, 17:05

Is it over? I don't have any PMs and ShinKagato has been offline for 18 hours :/
