I'll try my best to spread the word, it'll be a nice idea to get more people to join the Virtual-On Scene.

I'm new to VOOT so I'm not sure if any actual large scale tourney ever banned Specineff, but Eddy isn't even considered in the top 10 on Tekken 3, and I highly doubt any tournament of regard banned him, just scrubby ones where people didn't know how to deal with him.
Irregardless, doesn't look like Specineff is banned in this tournament, if you don't want to enter because of that, then don't.

I would also like to note that I am willing to donate the extra Mircosoft I have from buying this game if there are other people who are willing to donate a bit as well.

Re: 1st Oratan.com Rookie Tournament!
I actually don't see too many Specineffs in Ranked, and in our USIT tournaments there are usually only one or two Specineff players, including myself. I don't think any Specineff players have won the monthly Japanese tournaments either, although I could be wrong.OllieMilne wrote:I only see two people using Specineff, so whats the problem?quicknbrite wrote:yo yo yo let me speek on this i am an old school dreamcast VOOT player and so far i am haveing a lil trouble with the controls

Good VR, yes. Unfairly good, no. Raiden is actually rated higher in the tier list if you ignore 1080 and Ajim, for whatever that's worth.

that's more or less how it goes. you wait around, get an invite to play, then leave, and if you win then you wait for another invite.Exorcet wrote:So how is this being set up? Just be online 30 minutes before and wait for message?
Also of note: (gotta make this big) If you can't make the tourney post here or message the event organizer, in this case schooly D. So we do not have to wait a half hour for you not to show up

I appreciate it! Unfortunately, there's no way to give Microsoft Points as a gift. We have 3 1600-point cards, and we'll give the winner their codes. It's impossible to give someone points that you've already purchased through your Xbox, though.Calimdir wrote:I would also like to note that I am willing to donate the extra Mircosoft I have from buying this game if there are other people who are willing to donate a bit as well.
