DOA4 - Tournament / Team Battle Logistics

[Ajay1986]

I shall be on around 10:30 hopefully most of you will be on still. Oh and im a big Brad Wong player as well.

[Stakers]

Can I join in at some point please? It arrived today and so did the NTL man so I should hopefully have a gamertag set up tomorrow.

[Yoshimax]

Sorry Stakers - Your name's not down you're not coming in

Just post up your Gtag as soon as you know it and a fighter of choice if you have one.

Yoshi: No chance am I using Brad Bleedin' Wong.

[Yoshimax]

My bad - Fixed now

BTW the little details in this game are ridiculous - I've finally got over my apples & balloons obsession - Anybody noticed how the crowd in the wrestling stage hold up placards which are relevant to the fighters - Last night I spotted someone with one saying "Go Spartan-458" - class


Christ - one more and we've hit 16.

[Keith]

I noticed that in Tina's story mode, but assumed it was only for Tina/Bass and La-Mariposa (or whatever her name is). That is nice though.

And during our lag-fest the other night the game was running slow enough to notice the reflections on the windows in that bit palace-type-place

Edit: Cheers btw; thought you were going to make me play as that drunken hack there.

Idea for a random character tournament would be interesting.

If we have problems with lag in a busy tournament lobby then we can just arrange the fights so there are 2 in a lobby and both agree it is an official fight. Suppose it defeats the purpose of using the tournament set-up but will ensure perfect 121 connection when it really matters in a tournament could have it set-up like the Pro evo 5 one was?

[Keith]

I hope it doesn't come to that, although it's a good idea if the lag is bad.

Wouldn't be quite the same as having everyone together though

I know, but will ensure perfect games with no room for blaming a loss on lag... but totally, want everyone in the same lobby for it so should give it a try.

[Riskbreaker]

Thinking along the same lines, I wonder if you would get the same lag if just two people enter a game and the rest stay in the lobby rather than everyone queuing?

Then you could still watch the match on the lobby tv.

As Mardigan said, as much as it would be great to use the tourny function, a match running at a decent speed takes priority. It'll just mean all the match-ups are decided beforehand and everyone posts their results on the forum.

Any idea's when we're going to do this, I'm really looking forward to it

That aint a bad idea man and is maybe worth a try. We should aim to have a trial run with as many people as possible tonight or tomorrow then set up the first battles over the weekend.

Doing the fights seperate would enable folk to agree a time for the fight aswell, but of course its the tournament feature we want to try out must remember this at all times, hehe.

[Yoshimax]

EXACTLY what I was thinking PerfectSmith - Everybody else stays in the lobby and only the 2 fighters join - The lobby host can "pass the crown" through the options there anyway so that somebody other than them can actually start the fight session.

Still, deffo want to try the full 16 people at once thing - we could also do 8v8 team battles which would be nice

[Mardigan8]

**** it... try it all, see what we can manage and then we can sort what the best way to strucutre this and future events will be. The 2 in queue, rest in a lobby scenarion looks like the winner hope the results are good

[Keith]

Ooh just thought: Request!

Can we put the tournament off until Monday at the earliest?

I need a little bit more playtime on it to decide a character though cos this is my first DoA since umm.. DoA1
