Just wanted to note that the official press release did not state the players involved. I made that information available so that all this negativity would be dealt with now and hopefully be out of everyone's system by E3 go time.
Imagine what would've happened if you guys didn't find out until Tuesday morning. This way you'll be focused on the game and the flood of information, rather than minor disputes about who's in attendance.
I understand all of the complaints, but for the sake of the game, get it out of your systems now. It will not be tolerated come Tuesday.
It's interesting that Carl mentioned we might see him in LA. I'm the one who signs people up for the tournament. All of the pools are capped at 16 players and you can't sign up until 15 minutes before each pool begins. I think Carl would see it as a wasted trip if he didn't get into the tournament.
It'd be better for him to save his money for the next announced event and not spend it on E3. The information he gains from E3 will greatly effect his performance in the game.
We'll only be using two DOA5 stations at most (our goal is to only use one). So any other DOA5 stations will be open to play during the entirety of E3 operating hours.
That said, if someone wants to do well in the tournament and doesn't have much experience with the game (or only Alpha demo experience), they'd be wise to talk to me at the booth. This is definitely not the Alpha demo. In fact, at this point I think even Manny would be at a huge disadvantage against anyone who knows the system changes, and we all know he's been playing the demo constantly.
I'm actually curious to see if people notice some things without me pointing them out.
Great! I'll leave Hayabusa to you since I have enough on my plate as it is. I've spent a bulk of my time with the characters who aren't in the Alpha demo, since those are the characters the community has very little information on. If you want to take the four demo characters, that would be a great help.
It's in the main post, but I'll make it more prominent. Right now it's fairly barren because there wasn't really a good reason to post articles about the Alpha build when I'll be able to have E3 articles up there in less than a week.
When the broadcast begins on Tuesday, all of my articles will go live on that site though. If timing goes well, I imagine the frame data for the E3 build will go live at that time as well.

Thanks bro, feels good to have things "Alive" again. We will all have a host of questions come E3, and I can already tell the hype bar will be met and quite possibly surpassed.

This looks cool! Hopefully we can get info on new system changes as soon as possible.
I am so sorry. I truly am.

You're pretty damn stupid.
Really looking forward to all of the information that will come out of this.
Relius Starkiller is a shit headed sperg? NO WAY.
Regarding politics, I don't really care who's being paid and how much the prize money is because at the end of the day, it's a marketing campaign and testing session disguised as a tournament. TK don't know how tournaments work and they surely don't know the difference between good and bad players. They'll simply pick whoever that is popular amongst their casual fans and put them on spotlight.
You shouldn't take this seriously at all.

Its really easy to string together syllables, its a whole other thing to articulate a point.
I'm stupid for pointing out that this is the same crap Rikuto's been arguing with me about for the past month and then he turns right around and does the same thing hes saying Master did so many times in the past?
He withheld information from the community at large - this is what he accused Master of doing time and again and now here he is doing it. He can say that Dr. Dogg talked about DOA5 being there, we all knew it would but who knew about the IGN pro league shit? He and his clique did.
All he had to do was make an alt account and drop hints but he wants that money too.
Also, there are other reasons why, so if after this situation Rikuto throws a bitch fit about Master holding out on anyone it'll be a joke - thats what I'm saying.
So, please, I beg you, show me where I'm fucking this up.

O M G . . .
This would be marketing wet dream Kayane's
pulls an upset over Master's ?! A true "Battle Of The Sexes!"Kayane seems like everyone's unofficial "CHOSEN1"
Rikuto and Mystik are gonna be on the mic!
Oh the HUMANITY! The ramifications of this event could ripple through the ages!
Damn, I can't wait for this . . .

Here's a thought: who cares? I sure don't care. For me, it's NO surprise that anyone from Master to Sorwah to Rikuto to DrDogg to Kayane to anyone else who is a pretty vocal and famous player of DOA, runs a popular DOA site, or famous player of other games, that they would have inside info that they weren't allowed to talk about ESPECIALLY when said gaming company REACHES out to the fanbase AND other fanbases.
Let's say for EXAMPLE that Team Ninja's condition, was that holds must stay in stun and they wanted to get feedback from everyone on what they can do or implement to go around the triangle system and make the game balanced and not guessy while holds in stun stay remained.
I would do the SAME thing if I were Team Ninja and I wanted to make my game a competitive fighter and serious. Whether you like Master or Rikuto or not, I would reach out to each community and each communities best players who know what the fuck they are talking about and take a look at THEIR perspectives and try to find a middle ground to make the best game possible while still feeling like DOA. I would also(given the amount of budget) invite said players to come test the game out as well. Sure, Rikuto and Mystik are only commentators, but I would still give them the chance to find shit and test etc...

Rikuto will be playing the game at the Event, just not in Tournaments, I'm also sure that he'll be able to voice his opinions seeing as how he knows more about Bayman/Leon than any other DOA player...plus his overall knowledge of DOA is extensive so yea, Team Ninja will have open ears to his feedback. All in all PheonixVFIRE, I agree with you.

Problem with adding a dislike button is that it actually encourages some people.
I remember on doac I'd get trolled with it... one guy even told me that he was giving me negative reputation "Not because I dislike you, but because I am helping to change your alignment towards evil."
.... yea...
