[/jp/ Summer Fightan No.]

I hope you enjoyed Comiket weekend, /jp/! It's just about a week before the hiso fightan tournament, so we're going to have another practice session this Friday, Aug. 18th, starting around ~10PM EST. It will go on for maybe an hour or too again just like last time.

Unfortunately, my efforts have failed in trying to get some port forwarding going, so we'll likely be going for the replays route for the stream. In any case, the practice matches will also be streamed so if you just want to take it easy and watch some games, feel free to drop in too.

I will probably also be getting the profile names for those who want to participate, so I can figure out two things:
- How many peope are participating
- What format the tournament should take to best accommodate the participants
More people will lean closer to single elimination or even more extreme measures, while fewer people will lean toward double elimination, or at the extreme, (like 4 or so participants) just round robin.

Then I'll just have to draw out the tournament chart over the next week.

>More people will lean closer to single elimination or even more extreme measures, while fewer people will lean toward double elimination
i'd say it's better to keep it as double elimination, unless the entry count is too low of course. not only is it the standard format for fighting games, but it's also less stressful for the players knowing that they aren't immediately eliminated if they lose one game. everyone gets to play more, the results become more consistent, it's just better all around. i get it that it may be more work to stream more matches but you could also just skip the first couple rounds of the losers bracket if time is an issue
>Unfortunately, my efforts have failed in trying to get some port forwarding going
the newer versions of autopunch let you spectate hosts that are also using autopunch and cannot portforward so that shouldn't be an issue

looking forward to the practice stream so i can take it easy and watch for a bit

I'd be up for it. Can't host though.

>More people will lean closer to single elimination or even more extreme measures, while fewer people will lean toward double elimination, or at the extreme, (like 4 or so participants) just round robin.
Always go double elimination for tournaments unless there are less than 8 people, then do round robin. If time is an issue then you don't have to put every match on stream.

Hope you're using challonge and not literally drawing it.

Practice matches are now over! Thanks for playing, and I hope it was fun watching.

The real tournament will be precisely next week, Friday, Aug. 25th, 10PM EST!

>>44357486
No worries, I've noted down the names of everyone who played. I think there was one more anon from last time who will join, but it's looking like it'll be a 5 man tournament so far. Not too bad! We'll probably go with double elimination as suggested.

If you missed the run, but still want to participate, just post your profile name in this thread and I'll add you to the list. Just some caution though - during the practice matches, we did come up with connection issues. For that reason, anyone who wants to join but hasn't participated in practice matches, maybe try to do a match with some of the random people in the hiso lobby to make sure you can at least join a match.

by profile do you mean online username or is there something else used to host

[Anonymous No.]

>>44361290
I guess profile means the in-game thing so people the participants don't get mixed up with random people.
