Singles Spar tournament

Deophite · 10-20-2017

I only log on once in a blue moon but considering the time it's been why is this still not a thing?

I fail to believe to the dev guys can't script a system to accommodate this. How is it that the 64 man UTC's that brought the best sparrers from all around to compete isn't feasible? Playerbase much higher? Ok, have a preliminary qualifier. 1v1 sparring now is stagnant and weak on iclassic. Give players a reason to spar again.

While I personally like the idea, I do like the concept of sparring on a 1v1 base and maybe I'm bias because I personally favor 1v1 instead of a 5v5 because I don't work well with people I'm not familiar with. And while I'd enjoy a 1v1 tournament, I just kinda don't think it is needed... I mean... how would those 64 people be selected?... it wouldn't be logical for leader board because well... it is a leader board of 50, and the 1st place probably fought the rest and knows how to beat them... While I like the idea, I don't exactly think graal is built (Yet?) For such to be a thing.

Stating the blatantly obvious, but the leaderboards would determine who qualifies for the tournament (just like gs points-GST.)

Why isn’t it needed? Single sparring is dead right now and a SST is possibly the only way to revive active sparring, thus making it necessary imo. Not to mention that it would be fun

I know, It would be fun, I'd love such, But leaderboards only go to 50... not 64, plus as I said before, it would be extremely likely the 1st place in seasonal spar will likely place 1st, they got more experience through the time, and also they probably fought everyone else enough to know how to beat them.. I mean, believe me I love the idea, But I think graal would need to be fixed in many areas to even have such possible

A) The GST used to be comprised of 64 teams...
B) Ive sparred 10x this season and am ranked 1500 (hint: just because the leaderboard only displays the top 50 it doesn't mean the rest isn't recorded)

Quit posting here

They wouldn't be top in sparrers if they are behind 50, even if 51 is only 1 spar behind 50. If you want a Single Spar tournament, You need to have the best of the best sparring otherwise there would be a lot of noobs going in. So that way only the most qualified people are in the tournament. Even though it is recorded it still would likely bring up issues. In other areas as well like when would this be hosted? If it is hosted same time as GST, then it can interfere with who can participate in GST. Because even if it was before or after, it can cause problems as well.

I mean think about it, If you hosted a SST same time as a GST, then you run the problem of some people who wanted someone in their GST can't because they're in a SST, and if you done it back to back you run into issues with players themselves. Not everyone can spar for a long period of time. And not everyone has hours to do nothing but spar all day, and if we done it a day before or after then we still can run into issues because usually the GST is hosted on a Saturday, Why? Because it's the best time. People don't usually got school, Or the possible religious things like Christianity and going to a church and so on.

Like I said, There is a lot of issues with a SST. Like who qualifies, Scoreboard. Time it takes, Are admins going to be available to watch, not only that but the probability that people who participate in SST probably want their own rewards, like in GST with mystery gift, A SST spar room, and lots more things.

Like I said, I would love to see a SST take place in Classic, But same time so many arrangements would need to be changed and met to make such possible. We may see such in the far future, but in near future I just don't see such being implemented or even being able to smoothly be implemented.

Just saying, When you spar more than everyone else and given the fact more spars= more experience. Which = more knowledgeable information on how people spar on a single hand basis probably yeah makes it pretty likely the 1st place holder probably sparred the rest enough to have a firm grasp of what they are going up against.

activity =/= skill

Mind telling me how he would win when kaios doesn't even play anymore? He told me and others on kik

Zetectic · 10-21-2017

yes, devs are capable, but they never proposed to make one and they have other plans to execute first. so i don't see it happening anytime soon, if not at all.

Don't worry he's a troll probably still upset over never beating me in the past. I'll stop posting here now wouldn't want smhegg banning me for being nice.

The singles leaderboard shows activity more than anything. You can be absolute trash but if you spar a lot you can get to the top.

This has been suggested countless time before... if it has not yet happened then there must be reasons for it that make them unable to do such a tourney. This game is honestly dying and I think they need a new angle to revive it as it’s already been relying on the spar community to keep it interesting for far too long but that may just be my opinion.
