DC KOF XIII Online Tournament - 4-28-2012

[solidshark]

Here's info for the second April online tournament:



What - An online matchmaking casual tournament event for KoF XIII Online. It will be FT10 (4 points), FT7 (3 points), or FT5 (2 points) matchings (optional FT3 [1 point] are optional in case the connection isn't stable enough from the beginning). All players will agree at the beginning of the match on # of matches. In case connections become totally unplayable, matches will be reduced to when both players agree to stop (example: a FT10 can turn into a FT5 or FT3 if it becomes unplayable). All players wins will be tallied, ranked and posted at the end.

When - April 28th (Saturday) starting at 1:00 PM PST, 2:00 PM MT, 3:00 PM CST, or 4:00 PM EST (Stating all NA timezones to avoid confusion like last time). Still working out opportunities for other parts of the world for later. There is no penalty for being late, but of course it's better to be on time go get more action in. The tourney typically lasts 3 hours, but can go on longer if participants are still amped.

Why - Because the netcode patch has really made a different with the online experience for KoF XIII, and it's worth doing this to get everyone playing more.

Who - Anybody! Doesn't even have to be DC members. Play anyone you like. Invite them to DC or chat with them wherever. Doesn't matter who is playing so long as people PLAY!

Where - Games will be played on PSN/XBL (obviously) but players are encouraged to meet up in the Main KOF 13 Online Chat Lobby and sign in with psn_ or xbl_ in front of your DC name (example: psn_solidshark). If you cannot make it there (or really prefer other means) then use PSN chats or XBL parties. Skype is an option, however I do recommend doing as LITTLE on your internet connection as humanly possible in order to have a more solid, stable, online experience. Remember to WIRE in as well: wireless NOT recommneded!

Team:  Saiki, Kula, Iori, sometimes K', Kim and Vice

Looking forward to seeing who shows up.  

Also... just want to point out that a lot of people have been misunderstanding how to do the speed/ping test.  It says connect to a server FARTHEST away from your own connection, not closest.  Your sub -20 ms pings are irrelevant to distanced netplay.  Just sayin'...

Should I join this one? Easter kicked my ass last time, making me unable to join last tourney.

We'll see, depends on what happens.
