There’s only 1 week left till the start of season 3 ranking battles!

This time round, we say gooddbye to an old favourite Street Fighter IV and welcome it’s younger incarnation; the newer, faster and better Super Street Fighter IV.

With more characters, better gameplay balance and a whole load of new ultras, this season will see the gap close between veterans and new comers.

We’ve finalised the rules for this season and we’re confident that this season will the best so far!

Following the Super Preview Event, the fighting scene has been moving from strength to strength and with its success, we saw the the introduction of the Underground Dojo.  We’re proud to aid the development of the Scottish Fighting Scene but its been down to a lot of hard work and support from several people.

Thanks to Dan from Ready-up for being awesome and organising the Preview Event and Affro for his continual support in promoting and pushing the Scottish Fighting Scene in on the several fighting community forums.

We may be small but we’ll always been the undergods(sic) :)

See you all on Sunday!

Platform:
XBOX 360

Format:
Best of 3 Matches
Best of 5 Rounds
Time: 99 seconds

Tournament Format:

Round robin will be here to stay as it is a fantastic opportunity to get everyone to play against new folk; however time was a factor which we were always against last season.
Round Robin Groups will be limited to a maximum range of 10-12 people per group.
If the turnout is large enough for 2 groups, then a split will be decided by drawing names from a hat.
As an incentive to come along we’ll organise a prize for attending all 6 stages. The draw will take place on the final stage.

Scoring System:
1 point per game won
0 points per game lost

Potential points gained:
2-0 victory: you: 2 points, opponent 0 points
2-1 victory: you: 2 points, opponent 1 point
2-2 draw: 2 points each
1-2 loss: you: 1 point, opponent 2 points
0-2 loss: you 0 points, opponent 2 points

CHANGES THIS SEASON:

Any in game pausing or controller disconnect during your game = instant forfeit of the current round, continuation of play will be disallowed.

Even pauses during an ultra animation will be penalised, the reason being is that players playing a charge character may lose their charge.

This may be harsh however we have to be strict on these rules. In game events like this can dictate the outcome of a game.

Random Selections will gain 1 bonus point on top of the regular scoring system.
you random vs your non-random opponent:
2-0 victory: you gain: 3 points, opponent gains: 0 points
2-1 victory: you gain: 3 points, opponent gains: 1 point
2-2 draw:    you gain: 3 points, opponent gains: 2 points
1-2 loss:    you gain: 2 points, opponent gains: 2 points
0-2 loss:    you gain: 1 point, opponent gains: 2 points

Both random:
2-0 victory: you gain: 3 points, opponent gains: 1 points
2-1 victory: you gain: 3 points, opponent gains: 2 point
2-2 draw:    you gain: 3 points, opponent gains: 3 points
1-2 loss:    you gain: 2 points, opponent gains: 3 points
