Smogon VGC Live Tournaments - On hold (See post #180, page 7)

[Ksh13]

Congrats to LLeonard for winning this Saturday's tournament, finals will be on YouTube soon I promise guys.

Also, we organizers are considering changing the way these tournaments are organized, so therefore we have created a strawpoll for you to vote in to give us your opinion on what the fututre of these tournaments will be like. However, note that this poll is meant to give us organizers a look at what the community wants, but our final decission is not necessarily what got the most votes in the poll, although we of course will take it into consideration.

What? Fuck showdown. I liked these because I got to use an actual cart for actual battles with actual people. IRC / showdown lobby doesn't matter much to me for IRC I guess but the actual cart battles were nice. Showdown is waaaay too fast for me and just is not the same as actual VGC battles ._.
That said, the win I got in the tourney was the the only one I've had i 3 weeks, period, so I still had fun. Live stream was cool, even though I just got to watch myself get helplessly slaughtered xD

agreed Showdown is a terrible idea I think VGC tournies are best on cartridge and since some people (including me) have a hard time going to live events this is the next best thing

If you want to use an actual cart and battle with real people there is always battlespot... same rules and there is a hack check.
Plus since battles in showdown are a lot faster, the tours wont last so long.

My vote is battles on showdown!

Dude, just bring Virizion :P

 

[ShellShockSmash]

My vote is for keeping the tourneys on the cart

 

[ProjectTitan313]

Dude, just bring Virizion :P

Could use it over Venusaur but I lose The Nuke, my LO slot, my second best Fairy check, and my only physically bulky pokemon.
At the same time... Gardevoir/MegaMence/Talonflame/ fucks them both anyway, but Virizion at least has hope against Khan, Hydreigon, Heatran... so I guess I don't lose much. Char-Y + Virizion could be ok, idk.

I am so lost on my team. I have ~20 losses and 2 wins in the last 5 days.
edit: Scizor was very bad btw, I did have to go back to our Lord and Savior Heracross. Virizion + Scizor could be ok though

 

[Aquarium1]

Yeah it may be early but I think its obvious that most people don't want the battle moved to showdown

 

[Kyle Ayala]

And there's also the fact that cancer would be running amock in tours. Who wants that?

 

[gepesek]

cart battles on 3DS is what keeping me joining these tournaments. If it's for practice, it must be on the same format of the official VGC. Battles are more intense, much more funny and more accurate to practice your strategies and prepare your team. My vote is done, keep it the same way as before.

[Trelloant]

I think they are every two weeks but I don't know

 

[Trelloant]

im asking when the next one is?

 

[Ksh13]

Friday next week

 

[Trelloant]

darn it. i hope im staying on this island for long enough to compete!

Something tells me we are going to be leaving though :(

 

[Serapis]

So there seems to be quite a bit of opposition to playing the whole tournament on Showdown, which I understand and agree with. On the other hand, there seems to be a decent amount of support for switching to a PS! chat as opposed to IRC, although that is somewhat diluted by the fact that those votes are split up over three different options (stream match on PS vs not vs all on PS). I mean, this seems to be your call Ksh13, and since the tours will be hosted in a few days have you decide what we're going to do? If we switch to PS chat and keep everything else the same, worst case scenario it's easy enough to just switch back to IRC whenever it proves necessary.

 

[Pyritie]

I voted for PS chat because everyone here already has PS and it's really easy to join the room there, plus a lot of people are on it already. IRC is its own separate thing and mibbit a shit

 

[Trelloant]

The pages linked in the OP are for last rounds tournaments

totally not blowing things out of its spectrum or anything

I voted for PS chat because everyone here already has PS and it's really easy to join the room there, plus a lot of people are on it already. IRC is its own separate thing and mibbit a shit

I don't already have PS! because I don't use it. Probably says something about me.
Mibbit is shit, I like synirc, but you can use IceChat and the Firefox one I can never remember. All you need is the channel (#smogonvgc) and network (synirc).

If I have to, I'll make a PS! account or whatevs.

Lol making PS! accounts is a lot faster than what it seems.

 

[Serapis]

Making a PS! account takes about 25% more time than choosing your nickname in IRC, and on PS! it's permanent so you actually save time if you participate in more than one tour.

 

[ProjectTitan313]

I'm not saying it's annoying or painstaking; I just currently don't use showdown / don't really care where the chat is held. All I care about is battles on cart. I am not battling on Showdown. :P

Won't be in the next tourney - my weekends are massive pain in the ass hours because retail. Can't wait till January. Fuck working 6 days a week.
Arbok will not be brought to next tourney. Might actually *try* to win lol.
