To the teams who made it this far, we congratulate you for doing so. And we wish for the teams who did not make it past the first round to not feel too bad. We do encourage you to watch until the end of the tournament and cheer on the other participants.
We did have some three round battles here and there, but even if it wasn't 3 rounds, some matches were at least intense if not close. Each team did put up some effort at the least, but sometimes luck didn't prove how much the losers fought back.
However, two characters will be part of a group that'll MOSTLY be banned after this tournament due to their nature. Aside from simul bugs, the one thing we should admit is that we're thinking about using a Rating Test to set a limit for certain characters. We're used to having a roster we made for tournaments despite doing two tournaments without one in the past, but we want characters to not be too strong and not too weak. Some characters might get buffed as their AI system works differently than others. However, cheap and crappy fighters will still not be allowed.
As we garnet attention from across the MUGEN community, we're trying to appeal to all sides while maintaining some consistency with things. So we should not be too strict with certain characters as we're adding edits to our roster now. But no matter what happens, we'll take a break from hosting viewer tournaments after this is over. Aside from one we're doing that's more of a project, we'll focus our content on playing MUGEN rather than AI Battles.
Overall, we appreciate your feedback and we may use it for consideration for the future.
Like Round 1, we'll do two matches per day in Round 2 at the same times. However, life will be set to 210%, so they might be longer compared to Round 1's matches. We'll also not take a break after the round. In fact, we might do two videos per day into the quarter-finals this time around.
Also, Rounds 2 and 3 will have themes that define what stages we'll use, and their order might reference something!
As usual, check out the brackets with this link below. These will update with each match, but you are free to reference these at any time:
