Arcade stick rules everything, though. I'd prefer to see those there then anything else.
SCII sold worst on Xbox, while the GC version sold best (http://cube.ign.com/articles/475/475106p1.html). But yeah, we're getting off topic... This is something that should be discussed in G+T.
Question for Gabe if he happens to read this: If Soul Calibur II is there, and there isn't arcade sticks, would we be able to bring some of our own? I have a cool universal console stick I like to take everywhere, so...
I volunteered to help run this, so I also get to set the rules.
Format is double elimination
Entry fee: FREE!!!! (Not counting the PAX entry fee, of course)
Standard VS mode
Default health
Random stage select
Timer is set to 50 seconds, Neutral Guard is left on
Best of 5 rounds
Best of 3 games, best of 5 games for semi-finals, best of 5 or best of 7 for finals (haven't decided yet)
Spawn and Necrid are banned
Assassin, Berserker, and Lizardman are allowed, but Lizardman's command throw glitch is BANNED (the throw itself is still legal)
Winner must keep character, loser can change character if they wish
If you pause the game during a match FOR ANY REASON (asside from some kind of serious emergency, obviously), you won't be disqualified, but you WILL lose the round. If that costs you the match, oh well. There is NO reason to pause the game mid-match because you can check that shit at the character select screen. Same rule applies if you reset the game as well.
2. Most tournements don't allow the use of Berserker, Lizardman, or Assasin. Mainly because they are heavily beafed up versions of Astaroth, Cassandra or Sohpitia(not sure on that one), and Yungsung.
I don't mind either way. Anybody who plays the game enough knows their flaws and how to exploit them. I guess I just kinda felt like rambling and defending my poor little Gamecube.
...poor little guy.....
All 3 are now tourney legal, and have been for a little while now.
Uhm, from a technical standpoint, GC is really good, but it has the worst stick support by far. X-Box technically has crappy stick support, but it's way easier to find a working PS2->X-Box adapter that's compatable with arcade sticks than a similar adapter for GC. Right now, every major tourney besides MLG and V-Games use the PS2 version.
Not quite. They are heavily beefed, but they are the characters removed in SC2 that were in SC1. Berserker = Rock, Lizardman = Lizardman (duh), Assassin = Hwang.
edit: Simply because the controller layout is PERFECT for fighting games (except Street Fighter).
That's not up to me, and I'm assuming it'll be on X-Box because MS is help sponsoring it. But I myself have a working PS2->X-Box adapter, and could probably provide some more. If that's not sufficient, then post up why you'd prefer PS2.
2) Great playability-to-pretty ratio.
3) Heihachi isn't as cheesy as Spawn nor as cheap as Link.
Unless MS is sponsoring a shitload of stuff and doing giveawyas too, I don't see why you can't use the PS2.
2) Technically, PS2 is inferior in this regard to both GC and X-Box.
3) Hei is a cheese-fest, probably more so than Spawn, and Link is probably the worst character in the game. None of this matters, though, 'cause they would be banned regarldess of what version is used.
Sorry, but that's just not gonna happen. Even on GC, you're still going to alienate lots of people. At least X-Box is easier for PS2 players to adapt to than GC.
I wish there was a way to appease everyone, but there isn't. Besides, it's not like SC2 is execution-heavy anyways. At worse, you can pick Xiang and win with just 3 buttons.
though I didn't know they released sc2 on dc...
Just go and have fun!
Although I play my old SC2 import on the Game Cube, I use the Stick Cubes from HORI (think big, fat, Capcomesque) and would be at a loss should I actually have to use a GC controller.
On that note, I'd be happy to bring them in if someone really wants to get a GC SC2 game going. As it is, I have a lot of practice to do.
Ziggy-2-dope, were you planning on banning the clock stage?
cuz on ps2, that stage is fucked up.
3P costums banned? y/n? 5 seconds to initiate command.
oh, do you know if there are prizes and all that jazz?
cuz...i want something to play for, cuz unlike last tourny, 80 bucks just didnt seem enough.
Seeing as how it's on X-Box, 3p costumes should be fine. I dunno about Clock, though. Any idea if that's better on X-Box?
but im sure if we did like..Ivy 2P and Ivy 3P there might be something.
tho the odds of that happening are...rare.
since im Ivy 3P god.
Shouldnt be a problem unless Reldan rolls out, since he plays 2P ivy.
oh...what about Extra VS? like, not the shitty weapons, but the stages? some of those stages are pretty cool, like the cage and the elementals.
several times.
maybe twice as many times than that.
twice as hard, and half as soft.
