The Future of Tourneys







Now much like TMC was revolutionary for stories in SFO, and SFO sidekick was as well for tracking rank..... will.... can there ever be something as such for Tourneys, or is there any strategies to make them more 'active and attainable'. And by that I mean a full Tourney registered and completed in a timely fashion.




I know there may be no 'need' for this. But that doesn't mean that discussing it, and ideas can't help the way tourneys are handled in the coming years.





My opinion:


It would be amazing to have an in-game tourney system. Like for example, there could be a Tourneys bar, much like TMC, where you could sign up for them. And once you do, while online say in the servers, or in menus of game, you would get a message saying "Your opponent(s) is available. Will you proceed?". If you say yes you fight whoever, if you say no it could then ask you "Turn off warnings?", so you could stop it from buggin you if you wanted.

Then there could also be a tracking system that could detect who is active vs who is not, and who says 'yes' vs who says 'no' more. If you were inactive to long the system would give an auto loss.



This would be good for huge tourneys especially, and the ones that have 'pre-liminaries'. But the 'auto-opponent finder' would get a random person from the 'group' of people your suppose to fight for those kind of rounds, and if it were just one person you were suppose to fight, it would work same way.

NOTE: this may be unrealistic, but i think it could be a good thing. a lot of coding and work to set it up if its even possible. and the way toureys work now is fine i guess. but it would get a lot of the people who are not on the forums into the action. anyhow, and feedbacks / criticisms /ideas welcome i guess. XD










[example] John3:16 gets online and goes to Tourney bar in options menu. He selects the second tourney he sees. He signs up. After signing up, he goes back to the main menu. A pop-up shows immediately saying "Your opponent(s) is available. Will you proceed?"

[example continued...]
John decided to decline for the moment because he has to talk to a friend on SFO about something important for 5 minutes. So he says 'no'. Then it says "Do you wish to turn off notifications?". He says 'yes', so it doesnt bug him. He then goes to dwx and chats up this chick for 5 minutes... After he returns to main menu and goes to the Tourney bar again, and find a check box in the bottom of the screen that says 'Turn Notifications On / Off'. He turns it back on, then goes back to main menu. Immediately again he gets notified his opponent is online.

[last part of example...]
John signed up for a big Spidy tourney that has a pre-lim which requires him to fight 7 people that are in a special group. So he fights whichever of those 7 people the detector first detected. After winning he goes back to main menu (the detector keeps all win/ loss data as well). Once again the detector goes off indicating another opponent is on for his tourney. He fights again and wins. Once he goes to main menu however this time, there are no more warnings for now... it seems there are no more opponents online of the 7. So he continues to play a while then takes a short break.

Again feedback welcome, as well as your ideas about Tourneys.

ilike the idea on posting offical tourneys in the main page
there was a link calle tournaments but theres nothing on it

yeah thats normally empty, even when there 'is' real official tourneys lately (i believe). but i feel having an in-game tourney option would get more attention, than that because most will never notice that or will give up on it due to the long non-use of it.

with the feature im talkin about tho, much like TMC, all the staff could host Tourneys, just like they do the TMC stories. And they could also take people's tourney ideas and host them. And of course the 'official tourneys' could be hosted there as well, which would have to be at the top of the list, and noted as being Official so people would know the deal.

i like the ideas that tourneys are based around fighting lol, and liek finidng someone to fight and get screenshots of it or w.e like find hidden 01 and kill him and u get a color or w.e thats nice. a new tourney would be nice if instead of just registering. you would have to at least be worthy and prove ur self before u register like kill Regster10' and post a screenshot and then ur eneterned in the tourney. ctach my drift?. and/or a thinking tourney wehre it tests ur smarts as well as game playing

Yeah, i agree with this idea. Thats cool. spot on, spot on.
