CAGWF - Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 League *Show Wednesday at 9 EST, KotR Round 1 Started*

[quote name='JJSP']I'm in. It's Swaggertime![/QUOTE]

Hey, let me know if you want to play any practice matches in the meantime.
 
Once I get 8 people I'll post tournament brackets. Like I mentioned, we'll do this at our own pace, but we'll still try to get together on Wednesday to make some matches on the fly with whoever is on.
 
You can't run a tournament without the Second City Saint, himself! Count Punk in and go ahead and shine that belt up real nice, I want to be able to see my reflection in it when it's in my hands. The rest of you drugged out losers, can go ahead and start loading up on you're pain killers now! Come Wednesday night, I will walk in as the future and walk out as a legend.
 
I can't make the Wednesday thing this week, but I'm in for the 'whenever the matches happen' tournament. One issue that I will address, though: I'll be traveling from 11/11-11/15, so I won't be able to do anything then. If that's not a huge issue, go ahead and toss me in the bracket.
 
I'm in for Wednesday night.

Are we doing any tag matches? I think Rated RKO should make a comeback.. Matt and I need to practice
 
FFS, I'm working Wednesday now 12-7. I'm in if we're still doing it, but I'll probably end up having play my match at some other point.
 
I got matched up on Goozex for the game a few days ago but the seller asked to cancel the trade. I got matched up again today but there is no way I'll have it by Wednesday.
 
I am off this Wed, but that is not an every week thing.


I am down. I did end up getting Your friend request. I guess I left before you added me.

Message me on Live sometime Wed to remind me.
 
masked lemon, you want the last tournament spot? If so I'll start putting the brackets together. Well I'll do it anyway and if you don't want the spot just let me know.
 
Here are the tournament brackets:

Ultimate Matt X
JJSP

Sigma
lmz00

masked lemon
Matt Young

007
Scorch

Just play standard singles matches for the first round and try to get these done as soon as possible. Maybe if we can get this round done we can start the second round at our Wednesday gathering, well at least the matches for those available.
 
JJSP things have been kind of busy, but I'll be around for the gathering tomorrow if you want to get our match in then. Hope to see quite a few of you guys on then. We can all take a break from Call of Duty and get some tag matches in.
 
I'm still down, and I already have experience playing against Matt Young in Madden.


I'll be on tomorrow night. Message me on Live and remind me.
 
Orton over HBK after a rather laggy matchup.. things went my way, things went his way.. but then Orton, being the sneaky guy he is, hit the backbreaker and followed it up right away with the kick to the head.. Michaels was out.
 
Yeah, despite the lag, it was actually a pretty good match. Nice job, Scorch. I admit, playing against an actual person totally threw me off. I'm so used to the stupid AI that around half of my usual arsenal involves running moves and top rope stuff, which really doesn't translate well to PvP. Ha.

(Quick sidenote: this is my last week of traveling, so I should be around for next Wednesday if that's still the day. Any idea what's up after the KOTR tourney?)

It's a shame about the lag, though... I only played online when it first came out, so I assumed it was just new game lag, but apparently it hasn't been fixed yet. One of the more amusing results of said lag is that both people usually end up beating the shit out of the ref unintentionally. Worst part is that it makes kicking out of pins a total crapshoot. Seriously... anyone in this who hasn't really tried the online yet, I'd recommend just doing the button press kickout, as the 'stop the bar' one is almost impossible because of lag.

Anyone that played it more recently... is this just the way it is, or was it just because it's COD day?
 
I think the Smackdown games have always been a bit laggy, I was worried about that for a league. Hopefully though it is something we can work around. Also, I'm not sure what we'll get into after the tournament. It's hard to do a whole lot until we can get some more people involved. Maybe we could set up some sort of tag team tournament or something.
 
hey guys, something came up and i can't make it tonight. I already did my first round match, though, so it should be cool. are we doing just 1 show a week or more than 1?
 
I did a few online matches the other night, shit was laggy as hell.

I'll be on tonight. If you see me on, send me a message.
 
Scorch, I think I'll try to set up scheduled matches weekly or so and then we can have our weekly gathering to just throw some random matches together.

You don't face him. I do. Masked Lemon, when do you want to play?

I got on before 9 Eastern and waited till 15 after before giving up.
 
I was on at 9, but had to reinstall the game to my hard drive. I think you missed my message by about a minute. I think I sent you an invite when you were still on, but then replied after that. Didn't really have a crowd anyway, but masked lemon and I got a few games in. It was laggy, but playable.
 
I was playing COD at 9, I believe.

Matt Young, I think I have you added from Madden already, unless you took me off. Anyways, I work nights the rest of the week, so I'm not sure when I'll be on to play.
 
I got the game in today. Matt Young, do you want to try doing a test match online with me to see how it plays with my connection? I'll have to back out if it is unplayable.
 
[quote name='Matt Young']I removed you long ago because my list was full. Let me know when/if you have a better idea of when you'll be able to get on.[/QUOTE]




I'm on almost every day before 2:45 PM EST. Any time before that would be fine.

All of the games I have played online so far suffer from way too much lag to actually have what I consider a fair match. I personally don't care about wins/losses, but I can't even set up spots with this lag.
 
I'm getting totally screwed at work (I'm there all the time), but I'm home tomorrow till 5 EST. Time for me to get my ass kicked, Matt. Sorry I'm sort of terrible at getting this done.
 
No problem JJSP, I should be on the Xbox soon and will look for you.

I see this league as being pretty casual so I don't really mind whatever pace we take with matches. I'll keep making myself available on Wednesdays and schedule other matches routinely.
 
JJSP, sorry we haven't been able to play. Give me an idea on what works for you and we'll play. I'm actually free most nights this week until Thursday.
 
whiptcracker, no problem.

Since we haven't really talked about it, lets take this Wednesday (tonight) off and aim to get together next week. In the meantime, lets all keep working on our tournament matches.
 
I had to send my 360 in for repair so I probably can't do anything till the week after next. My guess is it will take at least two weeks to get my console back. I might be able to play my tourney match with my girlfriends 360 though.

That's kind of early for me to be able to play. Any other times that work for you?
 
Sorry I haven't participated lately.. the people on the floor below me moved away and took their free internet with them.. how dare they! With no warning or anything! jerks. :D

Anyway, I'm getting wired up on Friday so hopefully I'll see you guys on XBox Live soon!
 
Matt Young.. I work all week 3-11 until at least Sunday. I probably have Tues-Wed off, but am not for sure yet. I will let you know on Sunday.

Again, I'm on most days from around 10-2am est.
 
So what's the deal with this league? Was an IC champion ever crowned? I think my opponent disappeared. I still have yet to play a match.
 
really late to this thread but I'm down for a future tournament or whatever!

Are edited movesets cool for this? The defaults are terrible so I always tweak a guy to get more appropriate moves. Undertaker doesn't even have a Last Ride unless you manually assign it to him!!

I also gave Randy the "Hunting RKO" as a signature and demoted the backbreaker thing to a strong grapple. I feel "guilty" using an RKO as a non-finisher, but a sig is only one move away from a finisher in this game so it's not that cheap. Plus it's cool to be able to follow an RKO with a Punt (the guy even stays face-down after that version of RKO, so it looks perfect!).
 
lmz00, try to contact your opponent again and if you can't work anything out let me know. Sigma is your opponent and he just above mentioned having Xbox 360 problems. We're still doing the tournament, just trying to get matches done.

BustaUppa, I have no problem with that if nobody else does. Also, we might be able to work you into this tournament if there are problems with getting matches done.
 
I've got a problem with it.. no tweaks of any sort should be allowed, it should be the default movelist and everything so everyone is on a completely level playing field.

Throw me a friend request on Live and PM me with a time you can get on and I'll see if I can use my girlfriends Xbox and we will have our match. Otherwise I should be getting my 360 back in about 2 weeks.
 
Do tweaked movesets fall under that 'user created content: on/off' option? I only ask because the few times I played online, none of my tweaked movesets were represented.

Still, like others have said, with the lag, it's fairly irrelevant.

It's a goddamn shame that it hasn't gotten any better... I was so pumped for this league, but the lack of ability to perform to 100% has dampened a ton of enthusiasm.
