Fight Club: The Hiatus

17 December, 2013 - Scrub | 4 Comments

Season 2 is in the bag, the 2nd Invitational was a bust, and because of that I have some very angry people demanding money from me.

While we recover from this staggering blow to the ego, let us look forward to Season 3, and the changes coming to fight club in general.

Season 1 and 2 were great testing beds for this ladder system, and it shows there is some desire to have this running as a regular event. However the activity level season 2 also indicated there isn't that much interest in having these things 4 times a year.

So when will Season 3 start? Probably in the summer of next year, we might reduce the fight club down to just a once a year event.

We will still be having weekly meetups to fight, but those details will be following in the upcoming weeks.

For now, enjoy the holidays, and thanks to the people who did show up to the Cafe Invitational 2!

Prepare Yourself for CI2!

We have settled on a final schedule for the 2nd Cafe Invitational, and this season we have decided to go with a more traditional tournament structure, and keep the main event for last.

The schedule below is copied from the Invitational thread, and if you haven't read through it - please do.

If we finish earlier than planned we will move right into the next game so please be on-call.

Schedule

Because of the online nature of the Invitational, the schedule here should be taken as a very loose guide. The only for certain start time is the beginning, 12pm PST.

12:00 pm PST - Divekick
- We will start with Divekick first, as there is no way to stream it and there are more players (so it's more forgiving of no-shows). Divekick matches are pretty quick so we should be able to get through 20 some-odd matches in about an hour and a half.

2:00 pm PST - Skullgirls
- There will be a small break before starting Skullgirls, and matches will probably happen in private lobbies, being streamed if possible. I expect these to take a longer time, hence a full hour and a half. Expect overruns.

4:00pm PST - Super Street Fighter 4
- The grand finale will be hosted whenever everyone has finished the other matches. Please be on time for this as it is the main event.

Is anyone interested in grinding team lobbies?

I'm thinking the Fight Club will continue once we get Ultra (and stop using GFWL).

Feel free to add me for some endless practice in SSF4. (West Coast Northern California prefferable for minimal latency issues.)

I have been thinking about how to set up another season that would coincide with EVO.

I'd like to have it more simple than Season 2, people seemed to get burnt out.

Also there will be ping/FPS restrictions going forward. For example: playing against you Smokey was really hard during all of Season 2, it's like 45fps and really laggy - not something I'd want to subject any actual ranked matches too again.

Also we had some UK players that, while super great and friendly, the lag is just too much to get a fair fight going.

There are many N.A players who are ready for a well run Turny. Bring the "Cafe Invitational "back,Its perfect time to do so. No holidays to get in the way . We could even do a small one day only turny to promote the "C.I"And winners from that will get top seed or something.I see the E.U are alway doing something like that lets us do it better. What do you guys think.
