Contest #20: Tournament

[Silverthorn]

I am against disallowing some special moves, or better say limiting the number of them, even this makes a little more interesting since player may be trapped in some moments of the fight since he/she cat use the move that would save him.

I understand your discomfort about the move-limitations. However, these moves have a reasoning behind them. For example, Rudolf's invisibility. At low HP, the MP-recovery is extremely fast and so you can stay invisible almost all the time. Same with Henry's flute. And battling a constantly-fluting Henry on HK-Coliseum is extremely annoying.

Sure, I can cancel out any move-limitations for the next tourney but I am not sure if this will not unbalance the matches completely. Opinions?

Another thing that i would like to be improved are the number of rounds, just seven are less while 15 were too much, but better it would have been 10 rounds, anyways its not a big deal.

In retrospect, yes, 7 might look like it'd have not been enough. In the future, I am going to increase the rounds-per-participants-ratio to something like 1/2 (not 1/3 like this time). We'll see about it

MAKE THIS A YEARLY COMPETITION!

I don't know if I want to have that hassle every year

The only thing I didn't like was matches not taking place and people dropping out.

Fully agreed!

Maybe for the next fighting tournament we should use a few pre rounds for qualification that will also make sure people actually participate. [...]

Sounds like a great plan! Setting up 1 or 2 pre-fights shouldn't be much of an issue; and starting the tournament (with points etc.) after those could really help as well.

Or we could have this throughout the year and convert this tournament into a league table and each player has to play everyone twice and you get points for draw wins and losses
LFE PREMIER LEAGUE FTW!

I don't know how it is for you, but from my point of view, it was quite annoying to run after the people reminding them to get their match done. Doing this for a whole year doesn't sound much pleasant.....
Furthermore, I doubt that many people would like to do this throughout a whole year; especially during the holidays-seasons, things could get quite bad (ie. I love traveling abroad with no internet whatsoever).


By the way, which system do you prefer most?

• The classic one: lose once, you're out
• Modified classic: after two losses, you're out
• Round Robin/Swiss: the system I have used in this tournament
