Welcome to Gaia! ::

I just assumed that you were referring to all the other fighters, like you were earlier, in that they should be able to push out a page a day, like you.

Fkjgkjs.

Why is it so goddamn hard to find a decent price on Matcha? D: Or.. even to find any matcha at all in my area. I live in little ******** Asia. You'd think they would have some somewhere.

-sulk-

I dun know where my opponent is. He literally hasn't posted anything since the start of the first round. Actually, he hasn't posted anything at all, from what I can see.

I can't find him around here anywhere.

I'm starting to doubt that he ever existed in the first place.

You're thinking about this too hard.

It being point based doesn't matter, all that matters is if someone wins or loses.

it's like if you went to a karate tournament and the matches were decided based on points. If somebody didn't show up, the other person would still get a bye.

It's tournament, you don't progress by proving yourself, you progress by winning. Two different things. You could prove yourself as a competent player and still lose, doesn't mean you move on.

I mean, if two people make two posts, but the one person disappears off of the face of the planet before the fight can even start, it's their fault. They're the one holding things up, it's their turn.

Which is factored into by the deduction of points for each day that they aren't present. But say I came in, made 3 AMAZING posts, and then some retard came in and made 4 completely illegible, s**t posts, even if I didn't come back for a week I'd likely still win just because I'm the better roleplayer.

That being said, "winning and losing" in an IC sense have little impact on whether you win or lose your round OOCly.

It's something I've been trying to stress to tournament staff, but they don't seem to understand. KB might be incredibly hard to defeat ICly, but... that doesn't mean anything. If KB manages to beat the s**t out of someone IC, but I do it incredibly poorly or just godmod through the whole fight, the other guy is still going to win even though he "lost" ICly. That's the entire purpose of the point structure, and why only a fraction of your success is based off your IC victory.

Hey KB, have you ever seen or played AT-43 Table Top?

Well, maybe that's my problem, when you think about it. I'm still not good "at the game." It's a wonder why people like Buktooth, a great El Fuerte player here in the states, is good because he has been to Evo many times playing a variety of good characters. He gave good insights on strategy on El Fuerte's pros and cons, so he knows what he's talking about.

However, TKD in Japan JUST picked up Street Fighter and El Fuerte was his first and only character. And he got damn good. However, the thing with him is that he practiced almost everyday since the game's release at the arcade. Even gave up a girlfriend to keep getting better, so really, it's my lack of practice and real life interference why I probably won't get as good as I want with El Fuerte for another year or so. I can either sacrifice everything to try to be good at Street Fighter or remain "decent" and continue on etching out a life for myself.
