Re: Team Battle or Tower Challenge

Teams don't have to be the same size, especially for this first battle. Schooly's team is the clear favorite regardless. If we don't allow multiple VRs, all teams will consist of only the same 4 VRs used in Schooly's winter tournament. Also, it will be pointless to even have a team battle, because ...

Re: Team Battle or Tower Challenge

If people can register as multiple VR how can you guarantee the teams will be of same size. This also penalizes people who have only concentrated on learning one VR, which is very stupid IMO. I'd just recommend making the rules together from scratch with Schooly. That way both teams are on equal foo...

Re: Tournament ideas going forward

I agree with all your ideas here, good stuff. And great work on winter classic. I still think all matches should be recorded at some treshold (like top 8) regardless if a person thinks they're boring. For example PPX vs Porcupine on winter classic was not broadcasted by anyone. Sometimes you can bar...

Re: Team Battle or Tower Challenge

I'd join both events but more interested in the Tower Challenge. Maybe it could be arranged via Soyoka or other people we know. I think fighting the japanese players more often will improve all of our skill much faster than staying in our small group. The game has been out on XBLA for over 6 years, ...

Re: 1st Annual Oratan.com Winter Classic

Oh yeah, what happens if there is a super laggy match, like where the frame rate gets all jerky? Or even worse, a disconnect. I suspect this will happen sometime during the tournament. Zaarock suggested long ago that when this happens you have to flip a coin or forfeit. I suggested we just have to ...

Re: 1st Annual Oratan.com Winter Classic

I can record/stream brackets and replays too. So can Twinstick I guess? 15$ is the price of the game I'm pretty sure. There's no way to select stage online. We used to have banning stages in some event on this forum but that would be a lot of hassle in with a larger tournament like this with also ja...

VR switching is allowed between opponents and after losses? Lots of people online recently, maybe there'll be a good turnout!

Re: Japan Online Tournament/Meeting Announced... On Short No

Apparently there's a VO4 tournament hosted by Godsgarden two hours before the VOOT one (22:00 JST). Not seeing signups anywhere so I'm assuming it's closed.

Re: Japan Online Tournament/Meeting Announced... On Short No

It's a VOOT tournament only. I signed up, though after sending the mail it sent me to a 'thanks' page which timed out on connection. Since this is the VO 20th tournament if I joined any online tourney it might as well be this one. Porcupine and FlyExponent were also showing interest to join. I was j...

Re: VR custom color files

Awesome to hear the purpose of the unused attachments. Too bad they seem removed from the xbox 360 release, some of them like angelan's staff being replaced with a key look pretty cool. That old customizer tool looks neat. It's a shame these fully customized color schemes do not work online on 360, ...

Re: Xbox 360 online player roundup

Did a quick update for that, but I've probably missed any new players. I typically didn't have have much luck playing with western players unless it was a prearranged time... maybe I just wasn't on at the right times. I think the VO night on saturdays is usually at 3AM UTC? They also play VO4 someti...

Re: Xbox 360 online player roundup

It's about as alive as it has been for the last two years. You can definitely get matches in the weekends with other western players. And many of the japanese players are willing to play so you can fight random people on weekdays if you're online at japan times (morning in the US though? also the ol...

Re: VOOT Angelan BnB combos/technique?

The VO games don't really have bread and butter combos since you can't hit-confirm off of most things. But for attack combinations that keep up pressure in the neutral game there's a ton of those. Angelan has some of the best combo potential but that's not really what makes her strong, starting them...
