I have a question for those who plan to attend the tournament. Which PS2 DDR would you prefer to have availible for those players who're "on deck"?

DDR SuperNova
DDR Max 1
DDR Max 2

I'm trying to find out what the players want. We could always change games, but to make things run smoothly and take less time, I'd like to just leave a game in there and let people take turns.



Sorry to hear that you won't be able to make it. If I remember to take picures I'll post links to them here...

I'd probably go with supernova, or MAX1
we should do SuperNOVA, since it is technically a DDR SuperNOVA tournament, even if there is a massive difference between CS andAC version ^^

It's true.  As much as I love the songs from Max1, SN would be the better choice.  It'll allow people to practice songs that they may be playing int the upcoming tourney rounds.

Myself, I know shit about SN songs, and I'm probably going to be sight-reading most everything(Unless it's one of the 10s...Which doesn't happen at tourneys.), but hey, that'll be half the fun I guess.

Also:  No way in hell Tavis or Andrew would be at the tourney o.o  They're in Texas and One of the Dakotas respectively...Maybe if this was Nationals or something, but for some random Pullman tourney?  No way.  I'm pretty sure I was referring to Joel at the time.

It'll be fun if I can go against you in the tourny Cale, I never really got to play against you yet. So how good are the pullman players who will probably show up?

Well, as you probably know already, I'm more for accuracy playing over stamina playing. That being said, I might be considered the best accuracy player here. However, there're two others, Beat and Rainault who're close to my level. They've got one-up on me though, they can usually out-score me on the extreme 9 step songs and the 10+ songs. Us three are currently on the top of the hill as far as players go. Beat and Rain play a lot of ITG over DDR though, so their capabilities in this tournament are unknown to me.

Btw, I do plan on having some 10 steps thrown into the mix of songs too. So this is literally anyones tournament if luck is (or isn't) with a player.

P.S. I'll probably have SuperNova CS runnig at the tournament. We can always change it if no one likes it, but I don't think that'll be a problem.

I don't get why people complain about any DDR mixes (with teh exception of USA ZC) though. They all have good songs and stuff in them. Even extreme (that's right, I said it!) just confuses me alot.

Are you talking about the arcades or the consoles? Because I feel that Extreme AC is the best game made to date. My only complaint would be that it would've been cool to include Marvelous timing into the regular game, and I think they should have put more old school 3rd, 4th, 5th mix songs in there.

UPDATE:

I went to Bumpers Thurday night. The UP arrow was giving me crap so I hit it a few times (yes, thats how we fix things around here) and it worked perfectly the rest of the evening. I pray it will stay this way until Saturday.

Don't forget to get to Bumpers (in Moscow) by 11 AM tomorrow! We'll be starting the qualifiers as soon as possible so you guys aren't stuck at the arcade until 9 PM at night. Also, don't forget your registration money! I'm hoping this tournament will be a blast, we've got (i think) 13 or 14 people that said they'll be coming, should be awesome.

Minus me.

Joel should be used to this by now =p

Apologies but a friend of mine is short one DJ at a party they're throwing, and I've been asked to fill in.  Sorry, but honestly, I like spinning music more than DDR...Though that might not've been true a year ago.  Sorry kids =(

ooh! You DJ? What kinda of music?
and now if KOG isn't there (forget if he was planning to go in the first place anyways) then I might actually have a chance !
lol.
too bad though.

Soooo, if you aren't going, does that mean your two guests won't be there either?

well, tournys over.
I'll leave it to suko to post the results since I don't really know anybody's name

well it was fun, even tho i finished last BYFAR XXD, well now i know where i need to be before i try again, the metal pad im getting soon will help...

Sorry I haven't posted any post-tournament info. I've been real busy this weekend (both before, during and after thte tournament) and I intend to post images/videos/and some general info about how it went, but unfortunately that will have to wait for tomorrow. I'm tired and I have work, so I'm going to get to bed.

I want to thank Diggit 6 and XeXy for coming as far as they did for our tournament. Having you two there to compete really made things a lot of fun. Your attendance was much appreciated. Diggit, your games were very close, at the next tournament, I wouldn't be surprised to see you beat out a few of the other players you competed against. And Xexy, for only playing for 4 months you did damn well. Be proud of yourself and keep practicing. Btw, you weren't the only player to loose two matches in a row, so don't think that you were "last BYFAR". Just keep playing and if I do another tournament in a few months, we'll look forward to seeing you there again!

EDIT:

I figured that I could at least post the winners. Btw, the difference between these four was very slim, nearly all the semi-final and final rounds came down to a matter of a handful of greats determining the winner. These were certainly no landslide victories.

Results:
Tom "Null" - 1st Place
Scott "Sukotto" - 2nd Place
Jason "Beat" - 3rd Place
Joel "Diggit 6" - 4th Place

I know, that one match between me and jason, he got me by like, 1 great (then slaughtered me in the second song )
and then when I tied your score exactly. see that's what's really fun about tournaments, is when it's close like that. Didn't you get just one great less, but you had a good, or something like that against null? anyways, that was fun, and well worth the... $2.50 it cost me ^^

it wasnt too bad, though the life difficulty sure threw me off

well i will defineatly be practicing more (people always told me i needed a hobby)

now since i have beat 2 12's on itg i think im going to start working on my accuracy...

That's exactly what I did. Once I beat go *60* Go and Vertex, I started going for stars. I guess I was already tryign to get AAA's previously, but I wasn't too serious until I had those two songs beaten. What 12s did you do first?

delerium and bang (!)

Does anyone by chance have songlists/scores for the final rounds?  I'd like to know where I would've stood in that bunch.

And Joel:  I was standing in for a friend, so I kinda had to play all of his epic trance stuff, but personally I spin breaks, DnB, and hardhouse.

Nice!

I'm interested in DJing, and I'm sure I'd mostly spin Trance stuff, but I suppose I could do other stuff. what kinda equippement do you use?

Ok, I've updated the first page with some images and videos. I have a lot of videos, but I only put up the matches that were REALLY close, which there were more than I would've expected for a tournament of this size. I didn't keepa list of what songs were played at what points int he tournament, if I can remember anything useful, I'll post it here.

EDIT: Basically, here's the images and video. Tell me if any aren't linked properly.

Alright, but um...Do you mind telling which videos are semifinals, finals, etc?

Also, Joel:  Damn, that was a fucking nice match against Beat!

Did you see the one between me and suko on love love shine? perfect tie (cause he tried that spin) that was insane.
I tell ya, that was a really fun tournament. You should've been there Cake.
EDIT: wow, I totally just noticed that typo. but I'm leaving it cause it's hella funny. I just might have to start calling you Cake now. ^^

Remind me to kill you >.<

Lawl, but yeah, I saw it.  It kinda reminded me fo the time Nick and Jeff got the exact same score Disconnected Hyper.  Crazy when that stuff happens.

Joel, you look so little compared to Suko.

I'll try to make the next one.
