revolvr please you don't have to break it down for me i understand it. i never said it wasn't unfair. But more than half of you here had the game a few days before street date even. I spoke of being outplayed, not that the advantage isn't there.
WOAH wait a minute here. The guy who has been to one local in his entire life where he went 0-2 just called me out because I only go to like 4 majors a year? Really huh?
For future reference, I guess. The point of the thread was to ask if it was ok. And it seems that in your eyes, $700 isn't enough to justify a banning.
I go to my monthlies all the time as well. Stop acting like you know what I do because I play offline frequently with people in my scene. And why do you always reply to everything that I say on here? Do you like me or something?
Thats why I said I understand your frustration, and also alluded in my first post that our situations were very different.
Yeah I did, but I actually know he had to wait until Tuesday. And you can't base it on "well some of them might've gotten the game early" anyway
Then why did you tell us that you've been playing for months?
It's not about the prestige level of the tournament as much as it's about playing for money. There was apparently a pot bonus, and from what I heard 3rd literally got twice the amount I got for 3rd at ECT. That's a good amount of cash to be playing for.
The first time I played the game was the end of Feb, played it just as long as the other testers. Then got tarted on a project for Prima that they thought was cancelled, but picked back up, but got cancelled again. Thats the full extent of my playing. Not even close to 6 months.
See @EGP Wonder_Chef You lied
I played 14 days total at NRS (5 days then came back for 9 days) as did other testers, and about 11 days working on an MKX guide project that ended up getting cancelled. Then, 5 days at ESL where I also got a copy of the game so thats 3 more days pre-launch. If you add it up its a few days more than a month of total play time. BUT.. the version of the game is not the same as when I tested. I am fourth coming with how much I had on the game because I know it will eventually come out somehow and the "he probably had it for 6 months" stuff will happen. People always look at me as someone who has been playing for god knows how long but am just lying about the time that I actually had on the game, which is why I am honest about the time period. I also wasn't playing to level up as a tester or a writer. I didnt even do much as a writer as the project was constantly in an "on again....off again" state until finally cancelled.
So how much money is ban worthy? There really wasn't any set rule. At least $100 aha
Then you woke up.
Like I said though, it's not a problem if you went, but I feel like you guys should've gone to commentate or do exhibitions rather than enter. There was more money on the line than some injustice majors, whether or not it's covering flight money you spent. And it is an issue even if it is just a month total when we're talking about 3 days after release. If you've only had a fighting game for 3 days, and pay money to enter a tournament to show off your early skills and potentially place, and there's 2 people who tested the game there (at least one who had even more time to play) who have more exp+knowledge than anyone else was able to have, wouldn't you feel kind of cheated when they win?
There were also ppl there who had the game at least 1 week early, maybe more. Thats close to 3 weeks on the game. Sounds fair and balanced to me..
