Super Battle Opera scandal, staff can't count to 32.

There's a lot of rumors flying around about the AE brackets for SBO, but this is basically the confirmed truth.

SBO staff had 33 teams for a 32 team bracket.

The problem starts in the Last Chance Qualifiers.
Normally, a single "wildcard" spot is reserved for all the teams who didn't get into the main bracket through the red/blue ticket qualifying tournaments in sort of a battle royale.
This tournament is called the Last Chance qualifier.
To make matters worse, because there are usually tons of people or teams trying to qualify, chances to even play in the last chance qualifier are drawn out of a hat.
So you have to have good luck to even play in it.

For AE, they had already written up the brackets with an unprecedented two "wildcard" LCQ spots, so the top two teams of the LCQ tournament would get to be in the main bracket.
Furthermore, Daigo and Iyo, who did not qualify through normal tournaments, were given a guaranteed spot in the LCQ bracket.
This means the hat drawing was actually for only 15 teams in the LCQ.
This is why poongko didn't even get to play in the LCQ, his name wasn't drawn from the hat.

So the top two teams out of LCQ are Daigo and Iyo's team and Neurosis and Shiro's team.

And then shit hits the fan.

They forgot to put the Taiwanese team into the final bracket list from at LEAST a week ago, so they now actually had 33 teams instead of 32 teams in the main bracket.

When they realized their mistake, they decided to REMOVE the American team that qualified from Planet Zero, namely, Hsien Chang and Jose/BananaKen.
Keep in mind that for SBO spots, while Planet Zero compensated travel for the Blaz Blue spot, they said they would not for AE spots.
Hsien also qualified for BB at Planet Zero so no problems there, but Jose basically spent 1K plane ticket to NOT BE IN SBO.

Anyway, fubarduck negotiated with SBO staff for a long time and in the end, the decision was made for the USA team to fight the Kuwaiti team, who also had a legitimate spot.
When Bananaken said that was unfair to the Kuwaitis, SBO flat out said their alternative was not playing at all.

SBO REFUSED to have the two Last Chance Qualifier teams play each other so that there would be a single Last Chance Qualifier team entering the tournament.
Instead they chose to fuck over two foreigner teams who already had guaranteed spots in the main bracket (Both their team names were already in the program menu), and who had paid 1K+ to fly there.

How else do you explain Aquapizza in fucking main Tougeki lineup?

Also, no TTT2, because they say it wouldn't be finished.
Sort of sad, SBO Tekken is like the only time I get hype for Tekken again.

Tougeki scared of Evo, adds MBAA 2v2 to Category C games

I bet you Melty at Evo is the reason they added it.

MBAA AT EVOLUTION

Results are up! Note these are the RAW results, before filtering for fraudulent votes. Keep this note from Ponder in mind:

Quote Originally Posted by Ponder View Post

This includes people who have multiple accounts voting more than once, suspicious patterns in the voting locations, etc. Even so, if you take away all the suspicious votes for Melty, it still wins by a narrow margin. So while we're confident Melty is the winner, we really don't know who got 2nd.

And a bizarre alternate universe has happened where MBAA has appeared at Evolution before SBO.

GOOD SHIT ROB

Long story short, he qualified for BlazBlue SBO while in Japan!
Not using the foreigner qualifier.

Melty Blood Actress Again Version A

Singles Play:
Street Fighter 4
Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Fate: Unlimited Codes
Blazblue

2v2 Play:
Arcana Heart 2: Suggoi

3v3 Play:
Virtua Fighter 5R Revision 1
Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion
Street Fighter 3: Third Strike
Guilty Gear: Accent Core

This is also sort of an aside to old hat but, the SBO lineup was announced and MBAA was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND.
What was to be found was Tatsunoko vs Capcom and FATE/UNLIITED CODES.
Lot of sour grapes from a certain community I hail from, followed by EVERYONE and their mother trying to mash out in F/UC (including me.)
The joke of the game is that the Japanese call it Fate/UNco (shit) while USA calls it F/UC.
The game is acknowledged terrible, but it's a terrible that's in Super Battle Opera for now.

As for the MBAA Ver. A vids, they are on nico.
Maybe I'll rip them off who knows.

EmoGate

Planet Zero, an arcade run by EmotionGear, has done it again.
This time however, instead of failing to pay players and randomly making the Grand Finals of a double elimination tournament single elim on the fly, he has outright spit on the Fighting Game community.

Witness these threads:
Shoryuken
Dustloop

In a nutshell:

So.. we waited the 3 months to hear about this GGAC qualifier and little be known emogear substituted one of the players of the winning team with a "Planet Zero Rep". I don't know about you but to spend all that money on a tournament announced to the general public 2 months after it was known by texas players(giving us 4 weeks to prepare) then when a non Planet Zero based team comes in and wins they take out one of the players?? This is just tom foolery and a man of this stature shouldn't be fucking with peoples time and money like this, where is our justice as game players? Shouldn't the winning of an sbo qualifier be enough to go to japan to compete?? I guess in his eyes its not... so.. this is not the first time this has happened and I'm sure others who have qualified *cough*arturo*cough* have been given bullshit in the past.

SO WHY IS THIS MAN ALLOWED TO HAVE QUALIFIERS?!

In short, the Guilty Gear AC team that won the American Super Battle Opera (Tougeki) qualifier spots...isn't going as the same team.
Rather the man holding the qualifiers is replacing ONE OF THE MEMBERS WITH HIS OWN "REPRESENTATIVE."
I don't even begin to understand how this works.
You won the qualifier tournament you should get to go, but because the organizer is making up rules someone else who DIDN'T win gets to replace you on a trip to Japan.
Anyway yeah, this level of crap is HUGE, like the fact the man has the gall to do this has touched off a spark.
Emotiongear doesn't dare post on SRK, but his posts on other forums (ones he owns) come up with the brilliant excuses that basically equate "winning" with "not the best choice to go."
How does an arcade operator get so much influence and money and yet fail to comprehend the simplest rule of competitive games.

I don't see how this guy still has defenders (he does, believe it or not,) but this is the best response I found to them.

Here's an analogy you can cram into your skull. I'll start a tournament series where the winner might not be the people who actually prove their skill. Maybe my friend needs to buy some watermelons, and I decide "I'm going to give him the 70% winnings over the guy who raped everyone". That would show some professionalism, wouldn't it?

SUPER BATTLE OPERA IS FUCKING AMAZING

OMG OMG OMG OMG
One day left, but it's the day before work, I'm going to be up to like fucking 6am Monday.
WHO CARES!
Have to watch these games (Day 1 was 3d, Day 2 was old school, Day 3 is NEW OTAKU GAMES :V :V :V)

But yeah I have to say, this live feed is making me stupidly excited over games I hate/do not play/don't care about.

Like for 3d, Soul Calibur 3 was tight close, VF5 was bananas (Lion), unfortunately I fell asleep for Tekken at like 6am because of 1. Two cabinet failures. 2. I sleep normally for most of the week. But what I did see of Tekken was just freaking amazing, it's a pity I passed out.

2d old school was god like. All China final in KOF as expected, some guy used an all girl team with NO DAIMON. Seriously fuck Daimon, watching him sucks, his throws and ground pound glitches and whatever. But yeah China is mad high risk reward style, while Japan is still doing Daimon low shorts. By the way the finals, all girl team PERFECTED first round, and the other guy came back with Chris to win. Winner's name was "Xiao Hai," which means little kid in Mandarin, while the other guy's name was "Ching lung." (Something dragon? lol I couldn't read the hanzhi.) But yeah there was a double KO in the semis, it was all really close.

SFAE annoyed me. First, I stopped my record stream feed between the games and couldn't get back on. Second, when I went to check if my stream for KOF was intact, WMP didn't make a new instance and instead SWITCHED OFF MY WATCHING FEED. Then I couldn't get back on and I missed the first and a half games, INCLUDING Team Wolfe (American Team) actually winning one for the foreigners. Team Wolfe actually hit top 8, but during the second match it went to interviews with the freaking baldy. I sort of feel sorry for baldy, but he is the scourge of the live feed. He is the one that interrupts !!!FINALS!!! footage with interviews cause he has to sell the DVDs, even the Japanese don't like him and call him baldy. (HAGE KURUNAAAAAAAAAAAAA) He knows it too, there was a point where he called himself baldy, the forum hate in Japan must be overwhelming. But yeah there was a girl (Chamu) on a team! She played Chun Li and her partner played Guile, they got top 8 also. I think a lot of people were amazed. She was cute too. :3 Anyway though there was someone using ST Bison, we were all amazed. But he scrubbed out and used CE in the end and got owned. Serves him right, fuck CE Bison. Anyway Ohnuki's team won.

3s was amaziing. Period. It reinstalled life in the game. Namely because of all the upsets and because of one man, RX. KO's almost OCVed a team with Yang, and then RIKIMARU's chun li came back and OCVED KO BOSS MOV just like that. Ohnukis team ran into RX. Let me make no exaggeration that RX Urien played like a God. The guy hit so many clutch moments it was madness. Guy was too beastly, it was amazing, every one of his matches had you on your seat. So now favorites are gone.

In quarters or semis, some Chun li destroyed KOKUJINsan (kokujin retired, but this was a tribute team) team's Akuma and Ken, and it came down to the anchor's Yun. Reading the #capcom logs I have is hilarious, right away everything was going poorly for the kid. "Yun is the worst of the 3." "This Yun sucks, what is he doing." "This is like amateur night at the apollo." Anyway, first round ggpo. SECOND round Yun wins with genei jin. Third round...Yun gets SA2ed, down to like 5% life with Chun sitting on a bar. Yun gets combo into Genei Jin... and GOES FOR RESET to bring Chun down to 1%, then dive kick for the win. At this moment the Yun has redeemed himself in lol #capcom's eyes. Second round against Makoto, it's 1:1, and Yun pulls a CLUTCH play again after being super punched into space, this time at 1% life. Final round is Yun mirror, and I have to say I never thought Yun mirror could be interesting at all (run away crouching build meter), but they both went insane. "WHAT IS HAPPENINGGG?" Epic finish.

There's a lot more but it's really hard to put into words, just look at some of the vids on youtube using the tags "tougeki" or "闘劇"
