Yeah, that's what I thought. It's not too inherently serious a competition, though, :P so we could just throw everyone together regardless of playstyle for insane hijinks?
Yeah, it's not that serious, but it would still be much easier to organise if we did 1v1s. I'd be fine with 2v2 though if it ends up working better

1v1 is easier, much easier to pair people up while taking latency into account. Not too bothered either way. Not sure what there is to call in 2s anyway. You should be playing with a proper rotation whether it's 2s or 3s. None of this "sit in the goal the whole game" nonsense :hateit:.

Other thing with 2s is balance. It's just for fun, but you still want the teams to be fairly balanced if possible. It won't be fun for anyone if there are massive skill imbalances between teams. So that will have to be sorted as well.

I'm fine with either though, 1s is just easier to organise.

I've seen quite a few posts about Rocket League around here. So I was thinking, why not make a little GBAtemp tournament? If we get enough people there could be brackets where we all face each other in teams and it could be quite fun. And PC and PS4 are cross play so console players can be included too! And heck, if we get enough people to join in, I'll buy a $5-10 PSN/Steam card for the winner of it all. Whatdya think?

Of course not with Xbox one, you know, the console that I play Rocket League on :nayps3:

Last time I checked, Xbox One added cross play between PC; however, it obviously can't cross play between PS4.
This will be an issue if we have a player that's on PS4 and another player that's on Xbox One, as they wouldn't be able to play with each other.

Doesn't even work if a PC player is hosting the lobby, first player would join fine, but then the second player (from the other console) wouldn't be able to join.

That should be everyone that plays/shows interest? So that leaves us with odd numbers for all countries besides EU on its own (Canada works evenly, if Xbox can cross play PC). We could do 1v1 best of 3, or just 1v1 single match, versus everyone in the respective area bracket, and the winner moves on to face the winner for the other country bracket? That gives us decent connections for the first few matches, and mediocre ping in the last few matches.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
