Is it to late me to join?

PSN: DanPersona

I'm in!

PSN: Terach-

All finished with classes for the day and sitting around waiting for it to download.

Ah I'm gettin' all excited now!

This is possible, but we'll only really know after PSN/XBL are properly updated later. It's possible that the update might include the Margaret compatibility update, despite not unlocking Margaret for use.

I'd like to sign up too. PSN: Keystone_Yinzer

I don't wanna make a thread for this so I'll just ask here...

Do we need to give the US PS store a couple more hours to update? I'm asking because Marie and *P4 spoilers* Adachi are supposed to be free DLC characters for the first week but they aren't on the store right now.

I'm so anxious to download them

@frostyryan: The store doesn't usually update for another 3-4 hours.

Sorry guys, I need to drop out of this. Life decided to turn into a mess the next few weeks. Please feel free to add me on PSN if you want to play sometime though.

As of now the us and jp copies are able to play each other

So far I'm 1-76, so I'm optimistic.

I super need to start participating in this stuff, but it always runs into bad timing when I just aren't available.

I mean, I'll lose horribly, but that's not the point!

@gravitypenguin can you put up a rule where you should NOT skip the match intro? It's a problem online....

Updated the OP with some stuff in the rules and prize section.

ATTN PARTICIPANTS: If you have not already done so please sign up for the tournament bracket on Challonge using this link. Some time either late Friday or before the tournament starts on Saturday I will freeze entry and randomize the bracket.

I added a rule for that, but won't be enforcing. It's just good sense.

PSN: Xomero

@irrelevantjohn: I concur and think players who skip intros should be DISQUALIFIED!

PSN: platinumpeace

looking forward to this. It isn't often i get to do tournaments.

So does anyone else main Teddie or am I still the outlier? If you do, I want to fight you so I can combear to my own play and maybe learn something.

Okay here are the tournament round times. Technically you can start playing your matches as soon as I make the tournament live on Challonge, but these are the times beyond which I reserve the rights to DQ missing players.

If things are going quickly you're free to run "Sunday" matches on Saturday. Again I'm mostly going to play things by ear, but hopefully this gives people a general idea of when they should be around.

Winners bracket:

R1: 1pm - 2pm

R2: 2pm - 3pm

R3: 3pm - 4pm

Losers bracket:

R1: 1:00pm - 2:30pm

R2: 2:30pm - 3:30pm

R3: 3:30pm - 4:30pm

R4: 4:30pm - 5:30pm

Sunday (start time - end time PST):

Winners bracket:

R4 (top 8 starts): 1pm - 2pm

R5 (Semifinals): 2pm - 3pm

Finals: When losers bracket is complete

Losers bracket:

R5 (top 8): 1:00pm - 2:00pm

R6: 2:00pm - 3:00pm

Bumping now that the tournament brackets are up.

Good luck to everyone in the tournament!

I can't participate but wish you all the best of luck regardless. Hopefully there'll be a Kanji in the bracket to bend you punks in my stead.

So are we just gonna sating up lobby or something?

Is anyone streaming this?

Lobby will be up soon and the stream is going to be here: http://www.twitch.tv/gravitypenguin

TFP's commentary stream will be here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdbeOrnuYOs

Oh no, I'm going to fucking choke, aren't I? Ahhhhhhh.

Oh well.

@irrelevantjohn: How can I find the lobby?

OK! If you are part of the tournament please go to http://webchat.quakenet.org/

This is how we will communicate!

From there we will invite you to the tournament lobby stream or you can do them off stream.

As the first to be eliminated I just wanted to give a shout out to my competitors, @grantheaslip and @brodehouse you guys rocked my socks off! Also thanks to @gravitypenguin and anyone else involved in putting the tourny together, it was a lot of fun!

Thanks for a successful day one everyone. Shout outs to everyone who played and TFP for doing commentary on his stream for five hours straight.

We're down to the top 8 and will resume tomorrow at ~1pm PST.

Day Two good luck to the guys in Top 8. May the best persona user win!

Finals stream still going strong! Watch it live while you still can!

That was a fun tournament! Big thanks to Gravity for hosting it and streaming and TFP for commentary and streaming. Good games to all the people I played. The raffle winners of the P4 Endurance Run Blu Ray set are @sigmacloud and @dan_persona! If you two could PM me your mailing addresses I'll send them out sometime this week.

Thanks to everyone for a fun weekend!

Thanks Gravity for the tourney and TFP for the extra stream! *I did not go crazy!*

@irrelevantjohn: Lies and slander.

I wasn't able to join due to work. Just curious: who was the most common character picked in the tourney?

@solh0und: If I had to hazard a guess, I think it was Kanji, with Yukiko a very close second.

I'd agree with Kanji, but of the few Yukikos I remember most didn't make it far. There was probably the same number of Naoto/Shadow Naoto players and they did better. Same for Marie.

Didn't participate, but I did watch a little of what was streamed. That was fun! Might watch the archive at some point.

Good Games to everybody that played thanks TFP and Gravity for the stream and everybody in the #GB_Ultimax chat for making it so much fun. Hope to see you guys in the #GB_P4A chat or back in the arena soon!

GGs to all and to all a good fight.
