Big thanks to everyone that came out for this tournament. I'm willing to move the time back to 2 p.m. afternoon if that means more people will show up. Ronald, Rudy, Vineet, Jan, Sanchez, Dutchforce, I hope to see all you guys at the next ranbat!

Next ranbat date is 4/16/06

[BigEd80]

You realize that's on Easter right?

[evildictator]

Easter is a christian holiday in which us christians.......oh wait, we don't really do anything except make sure we go to church in the morning.

Ranbats are in the afternoon , church is over by that time.

(it's really to acknowledge the risen son for those that don't know.)

Lol, that's true, but I figure that some of us are going to have to spend time with family and what not.

[l337v1n337]

easter eggs for the winners? and i'll try my hardest to wake up this time =D

[DutchForce]

If my school schedule permits, I'll be there. Ready to let Dudley out of his cage and do some ground & pound :nunchuck:

[RoN-O]

Ill definitely will try to show up for the next Ranbat, just for fun, since catching up in points is out of the question.

[Sugar Land]

There will be 8 ranbats per season so catching up on points is definitely possible. Random seeding also contributes to that as well.

[totaltoanage]

i should be able to make it to this one. ciao

[ddr_gakusei]

Toan that mean you ducking out of the dallas tourney that same weekend?

[totaltoanage]

ooo shit...i gotta cancel on my gf. im doing it for you huynh!

Isn't the season lasting until December, what are you talking about? I doubt everybody will show up to every ranbat, if you win or get top 3, thats catching up considerably already, as well as easily putting you in the running for top 5 which should guarantee you a prize.

Thats all you have to say:tup:

[Dark Geese]

I wanna come up there to catch up with you guys playing all the other games etc....I just gotta get a ride with someone.

Each 3S ranbat season lasts for 4 months. After that everything resets and a new season begins. Going with a short season gives a couple of obvious advantages such as, not burning people out, introducing 2v2 or different format the next season, reseting of points so everyone gets a clean slate etc. I've talked to the majority of players already and this seems to be the general consensus, so that's what I'm going with.

Yeah, I think thats a really good Idea, a 2v2 format or mayber 3v3 to make things more exciting. Im sure people will get burnt off unless things get interesting.:tup:

[Raph_Stryker]

2v2 huh..whose gonna need a partner? ^^;;

[RushDownNinja]

yea im all for the short season. a clear winner should be obvious by that time. and if the top people are breaking away in points others will lose interest.

i think the format is great...it keeps it from getting stale. i like being able to do stuff afterwards.

[Ranma0005]

Well if people aren't interested in prizes and just playing for points I guess it doesn't matter.

Sounds like a good idea:tup: Is there going to be prizes after each season or just an overall winner(s) with the highest points?

[['__']]

prizes are awared to the (top 3 or 5-ish?) people with the most points at the end of each season. then points are reset for the next season, if that's what you're asking?

(nice av)

[Sugar Land]

Top 5 finishers in points will recieve prizes, I will update with what the prizes are very soon!

[Ranma0005]

Well Planet Zero was planning to have some nice prizes sponsored for the ranbats since they had thought it was going to be weekly, or at the very least continued on until the end of the year. Main reason I thought it was going to continue was because the original plan was to raise prizes for either the top 5 or the top 10. With that many ranbats, as well as the many players in this state who play 3S, I think only the top 3 would be able to runaway from the pack leaving prizes for 4-10 up for grabs. Plus I doubt that alot of the players will even be able to make every ranbat. So if the basis is to just go for points and ranking and not worry about prizes, then for each season there will probably be a small prize for the winner or maybe top 3.

[['__']]

oh man... i mean if it'd keep everybody's interest for 8 months and be somewhat worth their 80 dollars (assuming they go to every ranbat)... then go for it. but yeah... this should be between you and lay anyways. :D

[Sugar Land]

Updated rules and prizes on first post, let the battles begin!!!

[Raph_Stryker]

Looks like I won't be able to make it again...

[Sugar Land]

Hope to see everyone at the ranking battles tomorrow, 1:00 @ PZ, ggpo

[Raph_Stryker]

Sorry Lay, can't make it this time either. Gotta go to my aunt's house after going to church, sooo, can't make it to PZ. Yup..damn my catholic family all living in Houston, let alone in adjoining neighborhoods...feh...

[Sugar Land]

GGs to everyone that entered, hope to see everyone on the first weekend of May! Big props to Alex for keeping it real this weekend. Me and rushdown ninja will never place!

good shit lay! went into let-me-crazy-mode in the final round of our match-- i was expecting some kara palms to fly out of nowhere.

you've been past-due to get some points. :wgrin:

ps- what is yang's weakness?
hooray for beating hitler's real characters then getting raped by his for-fun character.

[Sugar Land]

"Let me Crazy" will take over the world, hitler ain't got shit on us.

[Raph_Stryker]

I feel kinda bad now that i just watched...aw well, ill make sure to practice 3S for the next one. See you there.

[asianhitler]

Team Let Me Crazy vs Team Uber Scrub (Me being uber and Mike being the scrub).

I will train Mike's Yang to be uber enough to beast on Makoto, then I'll take out Lay myself! =o

I got most of the first matches of the ranbat. However I ran out of tape for the final. Also I tried getting the names down of the players but a few times I didn't hear the names. If you guys know who is fighting who in these matches let me know and I'll add it in the transcript.

Since its on Google Video the quality has been downgraded so if you want the full version download it from Google Video. Also if you guys have a place to host videos I'll be happy to upload the next ones there.

And finally, your donations towards a new tripod would be most apprciated:rofl: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc...harset=UTF%2d8

p.s.- WHY DO I KEEP LOSING TO PEOPLE'S SECONDARY CHARACTERS :mad::mad::sad:

Don't worry, I think everyone would rather have those off lol.

Man I sucked it up hard today. My answer to jump in attacks..."throw." I was out of it or something. Ugh what a hell of an off day. Just kinda forgot everything.

Better luck next time I suppose.

[kara_parry]

khang's alex stomp is unblockable

[DarkZero]

Who was the Remy player?

[l337v1n337]

kara- that is true
dark- probably Ian?

[DarkZero]

Does Ian go to UH?
Just asking cuz last year I went to UH the day before Texas Showdown and I played a Remy player there. I was racking up a good win streak against him and some others with my SA1 Ryu. He then finally left the gameroom after he pushed down the stool he was sitting on and cursing on the way out. I've never seen someone get that mad at 3S. So I thought that was the same guy at the Ranbat. I dunno.

[['__']]

haha probably.

that's how we roll.
UH-scrub for life.

I want to see vids of my matches, if you don't mind putting those up. :bgrin:

In particular, I want to see what the f happened in my match against Jason. So many regrets! Maybe I should play again... :wow:

I played the black Alex btw. Thanks.

I guess thats one way to differentiate yours and my Alex. You could say you played the Alex that owned up.

[Sugar Land]

Season 1 of our 3S ranking battle has finally come to a close. There were many ups and downs throughout the season and here's a recap from your friendly neighborhood sugarland

Cons:
1) The Sunday 1-3pm starting time didn't work out as well as anticipated. People usually have other obligations at home or with family during the final resting day of the week. Right now I am looking at 8:00pm Thursday as the new ranking battle time.

2) A poultry turnout for the last three ranking battles (average of 8.33 per ranbat). This can be attributed to the Sunday schedule but also a repetative feeling torwards the end of the season. David Hem and Alex Ennis already had a lock on 1st and 2nd by the time the 6th ranbat rolled around. The only thing that was determined on the 8th and final ranbat was for 3rd place finish. This futher cements my belief in a short season. A new start and everyone begins with a clean slate.

3) More players should be showing up. If Vineet and BigEd can take the time to show up and try to improve their game then so can you.

Pros:
1) Huge improvements in everyone's game. Enough said, ranbats did their jobs. Those who invested time and resources got the return they were looking for: A better and more consistant player overall.

2) Ranking battle 1.3, this was the motherload of season 1. 28 entries says it all!!! The event took a lot of time and phone calls to set up but in the end it was one of the best 3S event to bestow upon planet-zero with the recent regional a close second.

Random stats:

Total Entries - 99
Players who attented every ranbat - Evil Dictator, Alex Ennis, Lang (props to all of you guys) let me know if I missed anyone
Average ranking battle attendance - 12.375
Most improved player - Vineet
Biggest upset of the season - Evil Dictator winning ranbat 1.5 and Alex Ennis beating Aznhitler's Hugo and Necro in one set....let me crazy

Final Rankings for 3s Planet-Zero ranbat season 1:

1) Aznhitler - 49, staggering....and he wasn't even playing serious half the time
2) Alex Ennis - 31, had a great run in placing top 4 for 5 ranbats straight
3) Sugarland - 18, let me not so crazy
4) Rushdown Ninja - 17, solid as hell, would have been third if he wasn't with family in Cali
5) Fubarduck - 15, only participated in two ranbats
6) Evil Dictator - 13, pulled the upset of the season...teaching boys how to block/not block
7) Chris Dat - 12
8) Lang - 11
9) Alex Yoon - 10
t11) Hsien Chang - 7
t11) Duane - 7
t13) Khang Le - 5
t13) Jive Turkey Jones - 5

Hope to see everyone at ranbat season 2. 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month @ 8:00pm starting August

Own!

[JIVE TURKEY JONES]

t13) Jive Turkey Jones - 5
:sad: Wish I could have attended more than 1 Ranbat, but I'm 6 hours away.

Wouldn't making them Thursday eliminate out of towners all together? I always assumed that holding them on Saturday would bring higher turnouts.

Jive Out!

[['__']]

i feel bad in jive's case, but we did give it a try and having ranbats on sunday definitely brings more downsides than benefits. we can't have it on saturday because it would hurt PZ's business or something.

and i dunno what you're talking about-- me vs. hitler wasn't an upset. it's just that i was at 90-ish% and david got like 2 hours of sleep. :wgrin:

now that there's a clean slate, i should start trying again! :wasted:

[SuperSamyon]

Bummer... I wish I could have made it out to more ranbats.

I think the Sunday setup works great its just that earlier in the ranbat the start time was at 1:00 which was very difficult for many people to make. Especially since people go to church, sleep in, or have lunch with the family on Sunday. I think 3oclock (or perhaps even 4 oclock?) ranbts will work fine for the new season. That will give people more time to get there and they won't feel rushed in having to make the 1 or 2 oclock signup. For those of us (like me) who live an hour or more away it definately makes it easier.

Also the new pricing structure of 5 dollars to enter should encourage others to sign up as well. Usually I throw down about 10 bucks for casuals so when you factor that, plus the old 10 dollar entry fee, plus about 10-15 bucks in gas and oil (truck leaks.... ugh) and lunch money for the trip it usually came out to about a 30-40 dollar afternoon (which comes out to about 80 or so a month... hmmm..) The price of gas just sucks really:(... oh and lets not forget those toll charges!!! lol.

Nevertheless, I'll try and make it out to the Thursday ranbats and of course I'll bring my camcorder to so that we can maybe get some recognition for our skillz:) Course... no MORE RANDOM SUPERS WHEN THE CAMERA IS ROLLOING!!! lol;) Still got that footage lying around somewhere where Alex did Makoto's SA1 in the middle of nowhere during the finals... would have been fine if it was at least close enough to maybe HIT his opponent... LOL. Classic moment....

See you guys next season!

[RushDownNinja]

damnit nobody kept lay from beating me by 1 point?! ah well, congrats to all...ill be back in time for the start of next season.

double post cause i'm the dictator:


Course... no MORE RANDOM SUPERS WHEN THE CAMERA IS ROLLOING!!! lol;) .



meh, random supers are and will continue to be a part of 3rd strike, actually...they have been a part of all the games i have played seriously in the past 3 years. Now whether you choose to put them online or do a "best bouts" type thing where only the matches you like are online is completely up to you :wonder:. I feel that video taping everything is awesome just as long as the players being recorded have access to their matches after it's over and done with.

[50-fiftytrap]

Can someone tell me how many ranbats in 1 series? What sort of prizes do you give out at the end of the series (money???). Do you charge entry fee into each ranbat tourney? Does the 1st, 2nd, 3rd participants of each ranbat get pot money? Just some question I want to clear cause I wanna do a ranbat here. Any help will be apreicated.

[['__']]

all of those questions are answered in the first post of this thread.

edit@malaguena- i was 80% sure that half-screen SA1 was going to connect! and carpool that shit down to kill travel costs? there are a few people from the north side of town that play. (if you are from the north, my memory sucks)

Now whether you choose to put them online or do a "best bouts" type thing where only the matches you like are online is completely up to you :wonder:. I feel that video taping everything is awesome just as long as the players being recorded have access to their matches after it's over and done with.

I agree actually but I was referring to and really just picking on Alex and his famous half screen Makoto SA1...:rofl: I mean... at least make them block it... lol jk;). The crowd reaction to that moment was hilarious though... I think at that moment Sugarland turned to me and said "for real man.. please don't put this one up" Ahh Good times:)

Actually im on the south side of town. Don't know if anyone else is in the Clear Lake, League City area....

Thank You.

[ghengiskhang]

Thursdays mean I absolutely, positively, not make a single ranbat. Oh well, it's not like I showed up to the Sunday ones. :bgrin:

I'll just continue to sit here and spout 3S theory fighter and Ken hate.


Huge improvements in everyone's game.
F'REALZ?!?! Awesome, keep up the good work.

[DarkZero]

Now I can't show up for a random ranbat since its moved to Thursday. Oh well. Good luck with the upcoming season

I guess I should rephrase my question for the slows: Since 3s ranbats will be Friday, will Marvel ranbats be Friday as well? And are ppl still down to eat wingies Thursday night even though no Pz afterwards?

thnx

3S ranbat tomorrow night@9, lets see if we can fill out another 16 man bracket for the third straight tournament.

[JIVE TURKEY JONES]

Since 3s ranbats will be Friday...
Is there a chance of holding a 3S ranbat Friday, the day before Regionals? (or on Sunday if need be) I never get to play 3S. :sad: Last time I played was the last regionals I attended in June or July. And before that, it had been almost a year. It would be a great chance to get in some extra 3S time since I'll be there for the tournament on Saturday anyway. Plus, it's a good way for us rusty out of towners to warm up before the bigger tournament on Saturday. Ever since I moved to Texas, I lost the opportunity to play 3S really. Help a brotha out? Nobody ever died from extra 3S! :bgrin:

Jive Out!

[Sugar Land]

A ranbat probably isn't necessary. If you need 3S practice just show up on friday night, there'll be tons of people playing casuals then.

[Sugar Land]

Little announcement:

Evil Dictator will be doing the ranbats from now on, everyone be nice to him.

Thanks to everyone who came out for these tournaments, I had a ton of fun running them.
