Sorry about the weird audio DURING the tournament portion, had bad Mic settings that I'm still working out even now. Thanks for watching, and let me know if there's any other information that you would like more info on! ❤
Agreed, suuuper valuable so far for me. I can't wait to see the difference in knowledge checks in my own matches going forward in more tournaments. Should be a very fun ride I think.
Thank you, I’m glad I could be any level of inspiration. And also, Hell yeah! There’s just something about playing in that sort of an organized format that really gets me amped and excited to play. Glad you’re also able to experience it!
And live close too. And by close I mean same country or close to each other.... Me living in Africa makes it hard joining tourneys. I'm even shocked how verix does tourneys. I just hope for more emea tourneys for beginners 😅
@@snowflake4108 I agree! Even when you have a good internet, location plays a huge factor. I live in Iceland, and despite my good internet, I most of the times have between 150-200ms against other europeans :/
Man that really sucks. Is there anything locally that goes on around you for fighting games? Living in the bubble of the US, thats not something I've ever really actively been made aware of, but hopefully maybe one of these days I'd like to help harbor communities in other regions so that everyone can still get at least similar levels of enjoyment out of games like this.
yeahhhhh this and the good internet comment. Sucks seeing there are people that would love to experience games like this but don't have access to good internet connections for online play against others/relatively close countries.
Hey we're around the same level, i hover between floors 6 and 8 depending on how im feeling that day. Youre not far off being able to take a game in bracket, and im looking forward to seeing you do it! I remember being thrilled the first time i went 1-2
I'm stoked to keep trying, the hardest part right now has been lack of time. But I'm definitely not giving up, just might take longer than I first anticipated 😅 Current plans are to stream while I'm in my tournaments, and then make some sort of video sharing progress after attending.. or to some degree of this at least lol
I'm seeing this as a much more common issue than I initially realized... 🙃 Hopefully one day I can help facilitate that sort of thing into happening more consistently. May not realistically be able to do it everywhere, but, hoping to see.
@@lamMeTV you make a great point. I may consider that, I tend to like having just the shorter form name when possible, but I do agree it probably makes more sense for ggst to use my full government name this time around 🤔
I'll put it this way... the only thing preventing you from the potential fun is you. I'm relaxing around floor 4-5 right now, and Tournaments have been one of the most exciting times I've had in almost any game I've played. Feel free to join my discord just to take the links I have to some of the beginner tournaments and ditch out. no pressure at all. and see if you can get into those just to give them a try. most of them are weekly, or just a couple times a month, so if you lose and get knocked out... no stress at all, just join up on the next one. 😁 I'd be stoked to hear about how it goes for you! And if you're too high rating on Puddle Farm, then that tells me you're way more ready than you might think. You got this.
Good question lol I guess more about what the variance is indicating. Making sure it's as straight forward as it actually seems, and what sort of rating indicates what. since there's not really a "medal system" per se, but just like Season 1 of Overwatch 1 style numbering system. But ultimately anything that anyone would like to share really, or if there's other information that can be used in tandem with it. :)
@@Nightwatertv The rating is pretty straightforward, ik that floor 10 is usually between 1300-1500 and then past that you're pretty much celestial. The + - I believe is the rough ballpark of where you're at, like at your best you perform like this or at your like this at your lowest. Also depending on which character you play and your "elo" you might be considered top #1000 on your character, or if you have really high "elo" top #1000 in the world. For more popular characters like Sol, Slayer, Pot, you require around ~1600 to be considered a top #1000 on your character, but for characters like Leo, Jacko, I-no, you only need ~800. I'm gonna use myself as an example, since I have almost 1900 elo on my slayer, I'm considered top #200. However I do want to say that these number's are not official, and don't really mean anything so you shouldn't really focus on them when playing.
@@Nightwatertv the variance is straightforward, yeah. More precisely, it's a 95% confidence interval. Though, it raises pretty quickly after breaks, in some people's eyes But I'd caution against trying to interpret any deep meaning from an individual rating. A lot of factors can influence a rating outside of raw skill: high variance games after a break, luck, opponents whose ratings are influenced by those same things, etc. And even skill isn't a linear thing. Especially at the beginner level, your skillset might let you easily beat the skillset of some player 300 points higher than you. There aren't really breakpoints where you can say "this is a floor 6's rating." They can be all over the place. You'll find people with 1000 rating anywhere from 5 to 10 often. And they get especially weird as you approach celestial. The celestial challenge creates a sort of walled garden of ratings. Because you can't fall out of celestial for an entire month, and it's quite hard to break in, it's like a mostly separate elo ecosystem up there. puddle farm also has an FAQ page that has some interesting info if you haven't already found it.
@@igobananas32o hey thanks, this is super helpful, I appreciate the insight! I’ve heard similar things about celestial but have mostly I think kept away from learning too much since it’s such a far way away for me, and have been mostly focusing on what’s right in front of me rather than the super lofty goals. Goal floor right now for my personal journey is aiming for floor level 8 as. But am stoked with whatever I manage to get in between then and now. I’ll go check out the FAQ for sure!

Entering any in-person tournament is 100% worth it for the community and energy alone
I can only imagine, I'm going to have to go an attend a few locals myself.
We've got confirmed one or two fairly locally.
It’s how I ended up making some of the best friends in my adult life.
@@DecentPlayerNA hell yeah! That’s an awesome feeling.
Yup there's a lot that can be learned in a tournament setting
The lowest and highest levels both gain diffrent things from it
Agreed, suuuper valuable so far for me.
I can't wait to see the difference in knowledge checks in my own matches going forward in more tournaments.
Should be a very fun ride I think.
this video's so inspiring, i've entered online and offline tournaments and playing in them has been so fun even if i go 0-2
Thank you, I’m glad I could be any level of inspiration.
And also, Hell yeah! There’s just something about playing in that sort of an organized format that really gets me amped and excited to play.
Glad you’re also able to experience it!
Keep it up, love seeing people participate in tournaments! It's very fun and great way to get competitive
I appreciate it!
The ones I’ve joined have been nothing short of a great time.
One of the former TOs for BAN here, appreciate the shout-out! It's a good community to hang out in even when you graduate.
@@cartierFGC hey no problem!
It was a great time, and very welcoming. I greatly look forward to graduating out as well hopefully one of these days 😅
As a graduate of BAN 40, it was always a great time and really improved my fundamentals so I definitely cosign BAN
@ nice, I’m very stoked to join more. 😁
Step 1: Have good internet
And live close too. And by close I mean same country or close to each other....

Step 2: Get an Ethernet cable

Especially given I play Faust and he’s a rare character
step 1 have tournaments hosted close enough to be allowed in bc no one plays on your servers and the american ones get 200+ ping

Why not put NightWater? that seems unique enough
@@lamMeTV you make a great point.

I hover around floor 7-9 in tower. I struggle with whether or not I feel ready to play in tournaments. Should I just jump in and do it?

Absolutely. Just remember, losing is part of the adventure. You’re going to lose more than you win, but I’ll make those wins feel so much sweeter. 🫡
