DDR SuperNova Tournament [Aftermath]


Well the tournament has come and gone and it was a good time had by all. We had more than a fair share of close games and thank's to Null's camera, I've put some up on my website for anyone to checkout. I only put that matches that were really close, but those were the most interesting matches by far!
Thanks again for all those who came and participated, I'm glad it went so well.

Here's the setup for the tournament:


-Singles Heavy/Expert mode competition.

-Double elimination. (this means you're not out until you lose twice)

-You must register to be eligible to compete in the tournament. You can register at the Moscow Bumpers or by sending a PM to Suko through the PNWBemani.net forums. Registration ends at 10:45 AM on Saturday, May 12th. (Note: Since this has just been approved by Bumpers, some employees might not know about the tournament just yet, especially those at the Bumpers not located in Moscow.)

-Registration Fee is $7 per player.

-There will be a qualifier song to determine players position in the tournament brackets.

-Competition songs will be chosen by pre-determined theme cards consisting of 5 songs. Each player will then choose a song to remove, leaving 3 songs. The players will then compete on these three songs and the player who gets the best 2/3 determines the winner.

-(sorry if this explanation is a bit confusing, I'm trying to make it as simple as possible...)
Bumpers is willing to match each player's contribution and put that money towards the grand prize money pot. This means that for each player who registers, $2 goes to the arcade for reimbursing them for letting us use the machine, $5 will go into the money pot, and then an additional $5 from Bumpers will go into the money pot. (This means that for each registered player, there will be $10 in the winners pot. That means that with 15 players, the winners pot will be $150 bucks! That's quite a lot of prize cash for a DDR Tournament!)


-Prizes will be in....CASH. That's right, pure cash.
1st    -    50% of the winners pot
2nd    -    33 % of the winners pot
3rd    -    15% of the winners pot
4th   -    5% of the winners pot



If I think of anything else relevant, it will be posted here. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will respond to them as soon as I can.



Amendmants & Updates:
-I'm not worried because the tourny is still a month off, but registration at Bumpers is still up in the air at the moment. You can always register by PMing me here though.

-The prize pool accidentally added up to 110%, I re-adjusted it accordingly to equal 100%.

-We (the organizers) are going to try to get a PS2 with Guitar Hero 2 setup at the tournament for players to use when they're not playing in the competition. Heck, we might get an old Xbox and get Halo2 out as well, we'll have to see.

-Note that I was requested by Bumpers to change the entry fee from $5 to $7. Before anyone goes balistic, let me tell you that by doing this we will create a prize that is more rewarding. $10 per player will be put into the winners pot instead of the $8 we previously had. This means that the prizes, even if only 10 people show up, will be huge. You can do the math for yourself to find out.

DDR SuperNova Tournament [Aftermath]


I'm goin completely off my terrible memory here, but I believe the semi-finals/final rounds were played between the following players;

Beat, Diggit6, Suko, Null

I know that this was part of the final set...
http://techno-hut.com/misc/ddr/null_vs_suko-End_of_the_Century.wmv

I think this was part of a semi-final round...
http://techno-hut.com/misc/ddr/beat_vs_Digit6-B4U.wmv

As was this...
http://techno-hut.com/misc/ddr/Beat_vs_suko-HVAM.wmv

Most of the other videos were just close matches during the tourny that I had to share. Cale, if you're curious about the songs played for the last stages, it was based off dozens of pre-determined cards, though I got shafted with two of the hardest sets in the tournament.
Here's the last two sets that I played (that makes these two of the four semi-final sets).

Beat vs Suko
Are You Serious?   9.4

Max Unlimited   10
Paranoia Survivor   10
Dead End   9
Exotic Ethnic   9
Healing Vision -Angelic Mix-   9

Diggit6 vs Suko?
End of the Road   9.6
Max 300   10
Drop Out (From NonStop MegaMix)   9
Paranoia Evolution   9
Sakura   10
Xepher   10

Of these, each player discards a song, leaving three remaining. Then the player to win 2/3 of the remaining songs, wins.

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.

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.

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?

I know, that one match between me and jason, he got me by like, 1 great (then slaughtered me in the second song Tongue)
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 ^^

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

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 =(

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.

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. Tongue

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.

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.
