    Pot bonus announcement (can be found on frostyfaustings.com)

    All official tournament games at Frosty Faustings VII will use the same basic pot structure for payout.  Each tournament requires $10 to enter from each player.  The entry fee money is all pooled together into what is known as the prize pot. The standard payout is as follows:

    1st place:  70% of total prize pot

    2nd place: 20% of total prize pot

    3rd place:  10% of total prize pot

     

    Some tournaments are having a guaranteed prize pot minimum.  What does this mean?  No matter how many players enter a tournament with a guaranteed minimum, that amount will be paid out to the winners even in the case that entry fee money is not sufficient to cover that amount.  In the case that the prize pot exceeds the minimum guaranteed amount, the prize pot will grow proportionally beyond the minimum guarantee every time an additional person enters.

     

    Games with Guaranteed $1,000 minimum prize pots:

    Guilty Gear Xrd singles

    Ultra Street Fighter IV singles

     

    In addition to the prize pot, some games will offer pot bonuses!  Pot bonuses are set amounts of money in addition to the prize pot and do not follow the same rules structure.

     

    These bonuses are specified as follows:

    Guilty Gear Xrd singles 1st place Champions bonus: $1,700 provided by @FrostyFaustings

    Guilty Gear Xrd singles 2nd place bonus: $200 provided by @FrostyFaustings

    Guilty Gear Xrd singles 3rd place bonus: $100 provided by @FrostyFaustings

    I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but we have decided to change the date to be one week earlier so it will now be January 24th, 2015.  APEX and Ohayocon were both announced to be on January 31st and we wish to not conflict with other events to maximize attendance for all of them.  I doubt anyone booked any flights yet so hopefully this does not have any negative effects.

    Wait, so you can't grab a Gold Burst on startup anymore?  Why the hell did they do that?  :gonk:

     

     

    You certainly CAN grab gold bursts on start up.  Check the most recent Sportsland tourney footage once it comes out soon.  I beat FAB and made it to grand finals where I fought 16dan Millia.  Guess how I lost the very end of the final round?

    I am trying to think about upholding the integrity of the GG community. Honestly though... I dont even give a shit. If anyone wants to take me on using this stupid macros glitch, I am pretty damn sure I will wreck them anyway, because I know that any player who is worth jack shit and deserves any ounce of respect would never abuse something like this to begin with because winning using it would be a personal insult to their own selves and nothing would be achieved aside from cheapening the GG community over some bullshit.

  21. Posted · Report reply

    it seems that any character can to some extent but baiken and justice have abusable shit that goes beyond what most of the cast can exploit using this glitch. I honestly would just love to believe that everyone would just forget this stupid bug exists because appearently it was around since regular AC console or something and no one just noticed it until now but I just want to prevent the scenario where some dude just decides to abuse the hell out of it and causes some major upset

    OK so I just tested the Justice glitch again. You cannot do normals for the button of the missiles that are actively in play. You can have more than one of the same button missile out on the screen at the same time though which should not be possible since you have to hold down the button to keep the missile going before it explodes which is dumb. Essentially this glitch allows you to hold down one button and mash down down down down x 1000 to get an infinite missile pattern going with pretty much no gaps. Anyone who would actually want to rely on such a thing to win should not even be entering tournaments in the first place.

    I am no Baiken expert but I also can see how it would be useable for her too. I believe Hellmonkey said that it wasnt that bad though... Can you confirm this dude? Do you honestly think that Baiken doesnt get a significant advantage from being able to use this glitch?

    I am trying to think of how to be fair to most players in general. If I was to ban macros for Justice and Baiken only and make them allowed on pad only, do you all think that this is a viable solution?

  23. Posted · Edited by ElvenShadow · Report reply

    I shouldn't have to completely re-learn a button layout because of a dumb glitch that hardly affects my character.

    Imagine if you had to completely relearn your stick layout for Faust because of Burst Cancelling that Jam can do. That would be pretty stupid don't you think? It's not fair. I'm just suggesting we all reach a compromise so we affect the least number of people possible. Will it suck for them? You bet. There's no perfect solution here.

    I can tell you right now I can re-learn how to FRC with 3 buttons on pad no problem. Hell, Jam doesn't even really have any FRCs that are hard to hit on pad other than 236P, and that I'll just learn how to FRC with S, K, and H instead of P, K, and S like I do now. That's not a problem. But being told I'm a worse player or cheating or lazy because I've learned how to use a macro that was built into the game for players in my situation to use?

    Well, if that's the attitude I'm going to face at Frosty Faustings, I'm rethinking on going this year.

    Well actually, as I mentioned in another post... when I first started playing guilty gear, I started with GGX on dreamcast. I used pad. I only played against the computer because there was no scene. Flash forward a couple years later. I now am a stick player from learning how to play stick from Marvel 2 and CvS2. GGXX comes out and we start a Chicago scene. I had no idea about the proper button layout at the time so I played default pad config on a stick. After a few months of playing, I realized that this was not the proper default stick config, so I started learning with the proper config. I honestly would say that within one week, I was able to play about just as well with my new config and from then on it got more and more natural. So what I am saying is, is that learning a slightly different config is a minor inconvenience but honestly, you should be able to do it without that much effort. If I can do it, anyone can.

    I honestly am not trying to be a dick here and the last thing I want to do is discourage players from coming to Frosty Faustings. But.... I mean... you can see how abuse-able this glitch is right? I am not accusing you of being weak or a cheater or looking for an easy way out or ANYTHING like that. But the problem is, that if I make an exception for you and for someone else, then it means that I have to allow it for EVERYONE. What happens when some jackass decides to learn to abuse that shit and stats beating people under circumstances that in a REAL match under REAL conditions... he would have gotten destroyed? I just hope that you can see where I am coming from here.... I also have been primarily playing on the arcade version of GG for the past 6 years. Stuff like this in my mind just seems outright ridiculous to even consider being allowed! But I understand where you are coming from. So, I am HONESTLY asking you if it is really that out of the question to just try a new config. For the sake of fairness to everyone. You are not being put at a disadvantage by learning a new config. You still have the same buttons and options as everyone else as long as you get used to it before the next big tournament. BUT... if someone plays stick and uses no macros and then they fight some guy who plays on pad and DOES... and that guy (not you) happens to abuse some BS... isnt it way more unfair to the guy who legitimately trained really hard to be able to pull of legit stuff and loses to some jackass who wins by taking the easy way out and abuses something that shouldnt even be in the game in the first place?

    Seriously... I am trying to be reasonable here and I dont want the scene to become divided over this. I also dont want our scene being alienated from the Japanese scene by changing the entire mechanics of the game either.

    Oh and BTW, I still have not made a final decision on this so nothing is set in stone. I am still hearing everyone out.

    I already said this like 3 times but no one seems to be listening or replying to what I said so I will type it in all caps like a douche bag

    PAD PLAYERS!!! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST MAP HS TO A SHOULDER BUTTON AND DUST TO A FACE BUTTON ON YOUR PAD SO THAT YOU CAN EASILY PRESS ALL 3 AT THE SAME TIME FOR FRCS!?! IT SERIOUSLY WILL TAKE YOU LIKE A WEEK TO GET USED TO IF YOU REALLY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT PLAYING THIS GAME COMPETITIVELY! THEN WE CAN JUST BAN THIS STUPID GLITCH AND MACROS AND GO BACK TO PLAYING THE GAME AS IT WAS INTENDED

    ...and as the TO (yes I am a TO for those of you who do not know) of Frosty Faustings, I am leaning towards a full ban. Not only just Justice, but this glitch honestly gives a pretty bit advantage to people who know how to abuse it. I know it sucks but don't blame me, blame whoever was in charge of testing the game for bugs before release. Sorry, I am a little drunk right now but honestly, just re-read my all caps part and then read it again and then if you are a pad player, do what it says and the problem is solved. Seriously!

    ...and Thanatos... your execution doesn't matter arguments are pretty weak and I still can't see how you don't GET IT after all of those good posts by Klaige....

    And for those people who are whining about how we are trying to shun new players and make it impossible for them to compete with veterans and shit... how so? If you are a new player, can't you simply just learn the game with a control scheme that allows you to FRC without macros on pad... or TRY using a STICK!? I honestly don't see why this is such an unreasonable idea! Like.... seriously! I like to think that I am a pretty reasonable guy.... and I am not trying to be a dick... but seriously... man up! Put a little EFFORT into something if you really have a passion for it!
