    This. Forever. People are slackers by nature, no matter how easy it is to create tournaments they will never run smoothly. It is all flowers and rainbows now, but when the time comes....shit is gonna get ugly.

    If it is only a single game, you people will have no problem beating me. It takes me a game or two to get used to a persons style, even if I have played you a million times. I be free in this setup.

    I doubt it will help our ability to finish tournaments at all.

    I don't think people being split between modes is a bad thing. People will be in Endless Battle and Team Battle with people they actually know, and not a bunch of randoms. People will play ranked and un-ranked singles for that random online play. I know I certainly wouldn't jump into a lobby of 7 people that I don't know. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

    We had brackets before anyways. I'm just glad we can sort the online by region now. It's so much better playing with East Coast players.

    People on the SF4 forums put down tourny threads because almost every 360 tournament has gone to shit. Of the tournaments I ran the first 2 went ok after that it all turned to shit.

    i guess. Either way I will mostly not be playing randoms since I got a lot of friends to pre-order this time. 
     
    Optimism all around i guess.

    that's basicaly what i was on about. i just thought this update would be good for people on these boards who like to have tournaments (there's plenty of them about. I don't join them) but it got shot down by everyone in a second. i mean if you don't think a tornament is gunna work then say so in a tournament thread, this one is just info about a mode i thought people would be interested in don't talk about how a tournament will fail if i haven't even set 1 up yet, just fuck off at that point.  none of that's directed at you btw, just the general nobbery around here. "
    I'm excited about team tournaments too with the team battle, getting hype for your other team members while watching and stuff. But I'm super skeptical is all. We used to try and have tournaments where it's done in one day / a couple hours, and that never worked. sometimes only like 4 people would pop up online or some junk. So we move to the multiple week/month tournaments, which still manage to fall apart. Hopefully you're right and these modes are going to bring everyone together.  
     
    I see more of an 'impromptu' tournament style becoming commonplace, where there are no sign-ups and we just run spontaneously start up a tournament with all the people gathered in a lobby based on who is currently online.
