The Official Weekly Tournament of the Forums (WTF) #3 thread

Trying to play @RoTeNdO but it’s really tough to establish a connection right now:
“Some services are experiencing issues”
We left it at 1-0 to him so he can take the win. It’s more hassle than it’s worth.

This sucks. Been trying to play @FeverAyeAye for the last 2 days. We finally are able to play and during the 2nd game, we desync :frowning: We seem to not receive each other invites too as we’ve both sent numerous to each other. With him being in the UK (I assume base off his GT profile) and my in the States, it’s makes playing frustrating.

GGs though. I’ve told him that if he insists on taking the L, I’d take the match, but I’d rather play it out. Advancing this way is a bummer.

Just reading up and this caught my eye.

I just want to point out that the tournament rules clearly states, that matches have to be played by Thursday >>snip from the challonge details >> (midnight CST Thursday night/Friday morning) so if he’s not available until the weekend, then GGs. He should be DQ’d from the entire tournament.

@FeverAyeAye and @RoTeNdO: even if you guys can’t get one another’s invites, it is often still possible for one first to sit in the exhibition “lobby” and simply have the other player manually join via the friends list. I do that quite often as a workaround actually.

Hope that helps :thumbsup:

He doesn’t want to play anymore and said he wanted to finish his survival run. The way I first took it, is that he wanted to take a break and perhaps learn from the last 2 fights. His status was showing “viewing replays”.

It’s quite possible that he was seeing who was winning, but I was in a middle of a locked out combo on his second body (Aria) and I was still on my first health bar.

Yeah, @FeverAyeAye sent me a DM saying he’s forfeiting. Sorry you guys were having such a bad time of things.

That’s not what happened as we were getting crossed messages. My survival run message was sent just as you went online, so at least 15 minutes earlier. I was watching replays when we de-synched as on my side it looked like you RQ which would make no sense given you were in the lead. So I went to see the replay to see what had gone on.

Yeah, I figured as much and I said that’s probably what you were doing. Why would I quit? Exactly. When I play ANYONE online and get the “Opponent has left the lobby” I always assume it’s a desync, as oppose to “a ragequit”. After that DC, I immediately send an invite and another message. That’s when I got your “survival run” came through, so I was like.. okay.. lol

Mmmmm, at what time can you play today?

Oh, I see how it is

In all seriousness, I wouldn’t predict a match like that, it’s almost as if you’re biased, What is true, I’ve only played @ItzTymeToDul in a couple of matches and lost all of them, however, that was way back and I’ve improved. I thought I could never beat @TheNinjaOstrich, but turns out, I beat his Rash with my Cinder, and he’s not even my primary main. (No disrespect to anyone).

@WrathOfFulgore I don’t mind which way I go, as I can find a match with both @ZTRAINOVER9000 and @DarkLrdChuckles in the weekend, but never really with Dul.

Me and Fall should be fighting tonight. Will try to get you video (or at least an image of our wins).

Not to extend what seems to be an unnecessary discussion, but I am definitely biased. I think being “unbiased” is overrated. But I’m not biased because of how I feel about you or @ItzTymeToDul as people or because I WANT him to win. If you actually play, I don’t care at all who wins. I’m biased because I have played against both of you and my experience tells me that he is much better than you. That’s not an insult. He’s much better than me. And remember, I’m not suggesting that you don’t play. I’m trying to make sure that if we have to make a decision in the forced absence of actual matches that we try to make one that is sensible instead of making one that is “unbiased.” If Mario Andretti and I are scheduled to compete in a race, but it gets rained out, and then we need to decide who should get the win, I’m not going to ask them to flip a coin so it’s unbiased. I’m going to say - “well duh, give to Mario.”

I think it’s great that you are improving. It would be 1000% better for you guys to actually play the match. But if that doesn’t happen, I wouldn’t want to be the guy in losers who then gets eliminated by Dul because of the unbiased coin toss. I think it’s more than just a question of “fairness” to only you.

I can, and in full control of it, just not on the weekdays…blame school. :expressionless:

Ok, I just got through with a DM with @PVXenoraptor, and since he confirmed that he wouldn’t be able to play before the deadline, I’m going ahead and giving the “win” to @ItzTymeToDul. Problem solved. Let’s move on.
