Last night we had our first Fortnightly Random Fury Street Fighter IV Tournament. It was great fun! Everyone being in the same party almost recreated the buzz of an arcade or someone’s front room, the only drawback being we couldn’t watch any of the matches other than our own.
Here’s Dante explaining the format.
Each match could be 1 game, best of 5 rounds (best of three games might drag on too long) but we’d use a double elimination system, so everyone gets to play at least two games and the whole thing isn’t over in five minutes.
One loss will put you in the losers bracket, a second will knock you out of the tournament. The winners of the winners and losers brackets face each other in the grand final, but the guy from losers has to win two consecutive games to take the prize (his first win resets both finalists to 0-0). The most consecutive games anyone can end up playing is six, the minimum is two.
And here are the results.
Here’s what people had to say after the tournament:
Fucking RUFUS
Fucking CAMMY
Fucking VEGA
Fucking BLANKA
As you can see, we had a great time!
