I read that in Bane's voice.....goddamnit.

Ugh, if PSN doesn't start working in the next 20 minutes, I may have to withdraw.

Apologies for those looking forward to streams if I can't get PSN working.

You wouldn't need to withdraw immediately since you'd have until 10 PM ET to get your round 1 match in. It'd be unfortunate if you couldn't get a stream going, but there's always tomorrow as well.

Tournament starts in about 20 minutes.

Alright, tourney has commenced. Here's the bracket: http://challonge.com/gbp4aps32

Here's the discussion thread. Use the GB chat if you can.

Sorry for having to drop out :( I had connection problems and in the middle of a family reunion.

Anyway, congrats to the winners!

I hope for another tournament next month :P

Let's do it earlier than that. When there's a tournament on or near, the IRC room is full of people doing casuals for practice, everyone gets excited about P4A again. I stopped playing P4A a week after the last tourney, didn't pop it in again until Friday or Saturday, more people playing on the regular.

I like we're getting more lucid tiers of duders through each tournament, makes it easy to figure out your actual skill level in comparison, and duders who are closest to you.

Gwuh-wuh, I've been so consumed by Dark Souls that I missed this? Ffffffffffffuuuuu-

I like Dark Souls, but the lagstabs in PvP absolutely killed it for me.

I'm not too into that idea since tournaments aren't the simplest things to organize and tournaments at a frequent rate could potentially have adverse effects to the community's interest in the game. Perhaps we'll have the next one earlier in October rather than later, though (potentially along with that team tournament).
