Topic: HULA HOOPS Tournament. The last round has arrived!

[EasyCure]

i'd like an * next to my name in the OP. I didn't lose, i bowed out gracefully. j/k

I'd love to see a replay of the Tourny's Final round, what say we take a vote to set a 3 min time limit to it?

AYE, vote I.
I vote AYE.

Pale was forced to drop out of the tourney because he was too busy not doing his taxes.  I win by default.

And since I have a bye in round 4, this means that the only player to lose both of his opening rounds will make it into (almost) the final round.  How weird is that?

But never fear--SB will most likely destroy me.

[Armak88]

I don't know how I feel about making the final match time. If enough people want it that way then I'll go for it but I'm not overly enthusiastic about the idea myself. It would be cool if we had a good replay of the final match though.

Considering you have two losses and this is a double elimination tournament, extremely.

It really wouldn't be that much different than a stock match, since it's just 1-on-1, right?

It would be different because in a time match a viable strategy is to avoid the other player if you're winning and time is running out.

[that Baby guy]

Well, I was thinking this:  Best 4 of 7 in 2 stock, 3 minute matches for that.

Also, Vudu, you're up against Armak now, SB is up against the winner of the Decoyman/Shecky fight whenever that happens.

[vudu]

Armak, I'm free tonight from 7 - 9 CST if that works for you.

[decoyman]

Ah, yeah, that's true. Ok, so, a stock match with time limits would be a good compromise, then. I vote for that:)

Thats what i meant to say. Also, i wouldnt really want a time limit to declare the winner so what if we do something like this:

Players A and B do a 4 stock/3min match.
If time runs out and neither player's stock has ran out, play a second match at whatever stocks were left and another 3 mins time.

Or is that too complicated?

[that Baby guy]

That doesn't work without complicated handicap adjustments.  It's not worth it.

[EasyCure]

Yeah i didnt think that would. I just wouldnt want to watch a replay of one person dodging for 3 mins to avoid a KO.

[Armak88]

I'll try to be on, but I have a band practice that I have to get to so it will be tight.

[vudu]

No prob.  I won't be around tomorrow night, but I'm free Thursday night.  If that doesn't work, Saturday (most any time) is fine for me.  Hit me up on AIM to work something out.

[Shecky]

if you want replays, just make stock 2 instead of 4 and make it best of 5 instead of 3 ... those matches should be under 3 mins.

[that Baby guy]

That's what it'll be.  I already said that!  You're stealing my thunder!

Except I also said best of 7 instead.

[Shecky]

Decoy and I  had our matches.  A couple of Pikachus!  I would have loved to send those replays out to you guys... let me see if I can paraphrase:

"PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA"

Something like that

Matches were great test of wits actually and overall very close.  I've never really had to go up against another fast character in these matches, let alone another Pikachu - so it was really fun duking it out.


Result: 2-1 (Shecky)

[decoyman]

Shecky's normal pikachu took out my green-headband pikachu for the win tonight, 2-1.

Fun matches though! Even when I was dying horribly, I was chuckling about it. Like when you were hanging on the ledge, and I threw a capsule at you, but it broke open before it got to you and a lightning bolt came out and landed right on your head, just as I was racing over. I think I got small, then you plowed me right off the stage. That was pretty awesome, even if I was on the wrong side of the exchange. XD

And as long as there's a Pikachu in the tourney still, I can rest easy. Good games!

Edit: Beat me to it! As you said, it was a great match of wits. And yes - two Pikachus can really start gnawing at the eardrums, can't they?

Edit Tew: After we finished, was that you who joined up with us, thatguy? If so, those were some fun matches. We've all got to play against each other more often. I particularly enjoyed the epic story of Nana and Popo, told through taunts. (though you should maybe practice on the order so you don't have to try like 8 times )

[Armak88]

saturday might be best for me, i'll try on thursday, but i have an exam friday so it doesn't look to good.

Yeah that was hilarious, as was the time on the battle ship where we essentially looked like synchronized Pikachus.  To the point where our moves would cancel or hit simultaneously - we even timed the side-B special right so that we crossed mid-level.

I believe "Damn it!  Quit thinking like me!" is what I said during that segment of the match

That was me, and I know the order.  I just like to do their down taunt, then up taunt, then back and forth over and over and over again.  It's what I do.

[decoyman]

Heh, ok. I was leaving you alone for awhile, thinking you were trying to figure your story out...

Now that I know you have all that spare time over there just for taunting, I'll make sure to liven it up a little next time.

[Shecky]

So what happens next?
