Street Fighter Alpha 3 GW Olympics Tournament - GO FOR BROKE!

Registration is from August 24th, 2008 - August 28th, 2008.

Bracket will be posted on August 29th, and players are to meet up in #capcom/other messengers to get their matches in. You are responsible for working with your opponent to get your match in.

Registration Notes:
When you register just post saying you want in, and the country you are from.

Tournament Notes:
Because there could be server issues and this isn't going to be a group tournament played at one time, we're not going to use GGPO.

Instead, we'll be using nFBA. You can download the emulator nFBA here: http://kaillera.movsq.net/stable/nfbadtr9u1.exe and install it. This includes the netplay which is Peer 2 Peer and near lagless at good connections.

Due to legal issues I can't link you to SFA3, but you can google it. We are going to be using Street Fighter Alpha 3 (980904 Euro). If you can't find it, I can link you if you PM me, of course.

Tournament Play:
All characters are allowed including the secret ones. (codes to play as these characters are below)

Tournament is double elimination.

Each match is to be played best 2 out of 3 matches.

Loser's finals are best 3 out of 5 matches.

The final match is best 4 out of 7.

If your matches don't happen shortly (a couple days of so) after an updated bracket being posted, one of you might be DQ'd so make it happen.

SFA3 probably has the most mainstream appeal and I think it's the most user friendly, but that's just my opinion.

Yeah, I am mostly just polling just to make sure. I've been thinking ST or SFA3 really. It's been a loooong time since SFA3 and I know people like Chef have it too.

This will be the return...of Bison

You're all going down.

Any of the Street Fighters, preferably 3S.

guess it's going to be an a3 tournament :/

oh well get acquainted with some v-cody!

ps mad beat me 11 times straight with cody and i won like...oh right, I won 0 rounds.

3s sounds like a good idea.

Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Street Fighter III: Third Strike would be best probably because well I don't know I just like them two more than the other two although Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo ain't bad.

Please don't do A3 I hate it and it's a bugged piece of shit. V-ISM

ST or Garou would be awesome but 3s would work too.

I could join this. Yeah I suck big time but someone has to come last.

i'll go with garou and 3s. i've never had much fun with sfa3 to be honest

edit: added super turbo to my votes because vega/claw is too fun. too bad it's not going to win the poll anyway

I'm up for this, though I will go out first round.

Please don't do A3 I hate it and it's a bugged piece of shit. V-ISM

Yea, if we do sfa3, I'm going to learn some of these super easy 90% damage V-ism combos I see on youtube, just to grieve people for playing this piece of shit game.

Thats gotta be some pretty leet skills to spam the same 1 or 2 moves in the corner. So if I win with that tactic, that means I'm good at the game, right?

^I've added the ability to change your vote.

I'm closing this poll Sunday, whichever game has most votes wins.
