mbd39 | 2,095 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I should do well in POW and KLAX. Galaga is one of my favorite arcade shooters but I suck at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the few puzzle games that I actually like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be competing for second place. POW is a lot of fun and not too difficult for anyone decent at NES beat em ups. You should do fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaIank | 1,682 Events Team · Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I will be posting the details about the tournament tomorrow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaIank | 1,682 Events Team · Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 So here's the tournament details you have been waiting for: The top 16 will be qualified and invited to the tournament. The tournament will have three rounds, with the first two rounds being single elimination. The players will be seeded accordingly to their final standing at the leaderboard and will be paired in the following way: Bracket 1: 1st place vs 16th place Bracket 2: 2nd place vs 15th place Bracket 3: 3rd place vs 14th place Bracket 4: 4th place vs 13th place Bracket 5: 5th place vs 12th place Bracket 6: 6th place vs 11th place Bracket 7: 7th place vs 10th place Bracket 8: 8th place vs 9th place The top seeded player will pick the game the pair will play out of a set of four games we will supply. Each game will only be allowed to be picked twice. Expect obscure Famicom games. The second round will be like this: Winner of bracket 1 vs winner of bracket 8 Winner of bracket 2 vs winner of bracket 7 Winner of bracket 3 vs winner of bracket 6 Winner of bracket 4 vs winner of bracket 5 The top seeded player will pick the game the pair will play out of a set of two games we will supply. Each game will only be allowed to be picked twice. The winners advance to the grand final where the winner will be decided. The players will have to play 2 games that we will pick. And it will be MEAN games! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played some POW earlier. It's a little rough, but seems like a decent game overall. I finished 2nd in the 2015 Klax contest, but @Red doubled my score and won handily.

BeaIank | 1,682 Events Team · Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 We literally BROKE Klax the last time it was played. And breaking it will be needed to secure the 1st place this time around with the mean, evil rules I have in store for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope whoever comes in 16th is still around and participating, because that's about the only real concern when the chariot swings that low...

I believe it's mentioned somewhere that qualifying gamers are contacted, so if they don't confirm, I presume they go to 17, 18, etc, until they can fill out the 16 player bracket.

If players drop out do their opponents get a bye or does the format get redone for the top 10, 12, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,123 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Hopefully the standings hold up since I would play @mbd39 in the first round. It has to be pretty likely that either of us would pick a beat em up game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, if I can get a few participation points, I'll climb a bit into a more favourable position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeaIank | 1,682 Events Team · Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 You will have to pick a game out of the list I will supply.

NESfiend | 1,560 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 If things stayed the same, @Richardheadand I would face off round 1 in an intensely mediocre battle among inebriated particpants. Bring it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can convince @BeaIank to leave puzzle and sports games out of the pool? Naw, that'd be unfair too. 1 minute ago, BeaIank said: You will have to pick a game out of the list I will supply.

Those are definitely games you want to have in the main competition, not the tourney. The tourney needs to be TOUGH games.
