Title: FFT Arena AI Tournament Season 3 Registration
Post by: Barren on June 28, 2014, 04:12:24 pm
All right everyone its time to shed some blood once again. First and foremost I would like to thank Xifanie in advance for putting this topic in the news section so that way everyone can be aware of what's going on this summer so thank you very much. I also want to thank the community and everyone involved with Arena for playing this patch and having fun all the while. Today marks the first day of the FFT Arena AI Tournament Season 3 Registration.
There will be a winner's and loser's bracket with the number of matches dividend to the number of players to round out the field. Any volunteers to help me hosting this tournament are more than welcome. And also I will be checking for teams to make sure that they are within the rules posted below the last paragraph. Thanks again for participating in this tournament.
The deadline for registration will be July 23, 2014 11:59 PM EST. You can submit me your team via PM. Any questions about the rules free feel to ask. Even if its team suggestions everyone feel free to help out. Thank you again!

FFT Arena AI Tournament Season 3 Preview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVthFmGEu08&feature=youtu.be)
Rules for this year's tournament
No JP Cap. Meaning you can go beyond 3000 JP regardless of what class you unlock
Only one copy of an ability is allowed. So no two of the same abilities from a skill set. However you can use different moves from the same skill set. For example, two units can have Snipe but one can have leg aim, hawk's eye and armor break while the other can have arm aim, seal evil and weapon break. And also innate abilities do count. For example you can have one ninja which has innate two swords and another unit with the two swords support ability but you can't have more than one ninja.
Only one copy of equips are allowed. So no 2x thief hat or 2x cursed ring. None of that! So pick carefully!!

I'll be able to help with recording matches. I'll probably do the losers bracket since I feel that's more suited for me, if that makes sense.
Oh Barren, you may want to include a link to that Season 3 preview video you made a few days ago to the original post. It may help newcomers that could still be confuse.

Quotebut you can't have more than two ninjas.
Hey Barren, I'm pretty sure you meant "can't have more than one ninja".

I'm pretty sure this means 1 each of ninja, samurai, mime, thief and chemist as none of the other classes have selectable innates at the moment.

(I hope everyone had a safe fourth of July, especially as much I loathe how people celebrate that holiday. Please continue to stay safe given his weekend has only just begun.)
Good to see another one of these in the work, even if we're still on the same version of ARENA as the last one currently since FFMaster apparently went on sudden hiatus again around the same thing I did. So, first and foremost, thank you as always for spearheading the effort, Barren.
The rules of this one, however, should make things at least slightly more interesting than teams full of the Quickened Undead, so I don't expect the results of last tournament.
That said, I'm not going to throw my easily beaten hat in the ring just yet. I'm mostly just posting to say the above and that I'll probably only really join if you need people to pad out the bracket and lower the number of potential byes people would otherwise be granted.
I'll also say that I'd offer to help, but between what happened last time and the editing program you provided for me no longer working for me, it's doubtless best if I don't. Apologies.

Glad I came here for no reason, and found this.
My FFT knowledge is so rusty now. But still, time to make my team.

Well, as a note to The Damned, I for one do hope you join. We tested your team in some of the recent streams and it was a good team.
Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for teams! :D

Submitted my team.
I finally get to run a setup I've always wanted to try but couldn't because of limits.

Reminder to everyone that there is 1 week left of registration and so far we have 16 entrees. Lets try to squeeze in some more (preferably up to a even number or a number multiple of 8)

I still need to make my team, and I'll see if I can get VireBlaze and Winterfractal to join

Quick update I have extended the deadline to an extra 3 days so that way we can get in enough people in case of a last minute rush of participants
Title: Re: FFT Arena AI Tournament Season 3 Registration
Post by: CT5Holy on July 16, 2014, 02:14:23 am
Finally signed up! Absolutely 0 testing done, so... yeah. Also being hilariously boring cause lazy + hopefully it'll be semi-effective?
Title: Re: FFT Arena AI Tournament Season 3 Registration
Post by: Zotis on July 19, 2014, 03:59:47 am
Okay, I got my team in. I managed to test it a decent amount. I think it will be effective. I can't wait to see how they fare.

I -really- need to get mine done. Expect it later today, Barren~

(Thanks to Barren for slightly extending the deadline. I had a couple of teams done about a week ago, but I was still on the fence about joining.)
As it is, having surpassed 16 entrants already, there will definitely be at least a couple of byes unless we get up to 32 people, so my joining will no longer be detrimental to tournament organizing. As such, I have just finished sending a team to Barren, though I may send him a different one if I can think of one I like more before the new deadline is surpassed. Given the current equipment and ability restrictions, it's actually rather difficult to make the usual elemental absorb teams I'm used to despite there being no JP cap, so that was part of what held me up as well.
Regardless, I'll make public the teams I don't use anyway given there will be no way to use them otherwise. The opponent teams should be interesting even if I expect a bunch of classes with innates, magic Guns, Quickening and Cursed Ring users still.
I actually had to check back in that thread to see what you were talking about since I had intended to delete all my teams before I left, though it looks like I never got around to it. Sigh. Oh well. At least one of my failures proved to be fruitful for once.
Although I haven't gotten around to catching up on anything for various reasons, you and others have my thanks for helping Barren record videos for ARENA, especially in my absence.

I'm probably gonna die, but at least they'll hit hard.

Everyone I'm going to be running a stream in a few minutes so if anyone wants to get their teams tested the night before the deadline that would be soon from now

We have 27 entrees as of now. Lets try to get at least 5 more before the deadline tonight!

Post by: Barren on July 23, 2014, 03:05:33 pm
Don't worry, I just need to check when I get home from work. And please don't type every word on caps. It seems like you are shouting
Title: Re: FFT Arena AI Tournament Season 3 Registration
Post by: The Damned on July 24, 2014, 04:30:18 am
(Yes, Caps Lock, much like overuse of the word "epic", is the enemy.)
Hmmm...we didn't quite get to 32 it seems. Shame. However, getting past 24 means that should be a lot less awkward byes than that there would have been, so that's good.
While the final results are being determined, I figure I'll post the (only) other team that I managed to finish but am not using since I said I would and I'll likely otherwise forget to, not that anyone cares. I decided not to use this one given I figured that it would be a bit (more) boring, that it relied on Slow Dance a bit too much and that it was a tad hypocritical of me to use Cursed Ring, Battle Axe and Slow Dance. After all, those are all things I've taken issue with in current ARENA, even if I was never planning to Phoenix Blade or magic Gun or immortal Quickening it up.
Anyway, I'm rambling as usual, so I'll just say that I also didn't use this team because I figured a lot of people wouldn't (easily) get the reference since it's a bit esoteric, even for me:
Team "Better Behead You On The Head" (Palettes - Primary: #3 Green; Alternate: #1 Blue) Said Mondegreen Male Serpentarius 51 51 Paladin Jump Counter Maintenance Move-HP Up Battle Axe Crystal Shield Gold Helmet Gold Armor Cursed Ring
Consecration, Transfusion, Iron Will Level Jump 6, Vertical Jump 8
Ya Asked Male Serpentarius 40 40 Ninja Snipe Auto Potion Defense Up Move +1 Hidden Knife Platina Dagger Green Beret Santa Outfit Cherche
Fuuton Arm Aim, Seal Evil, Head Break, Armor Break, Weapon Break
Shoot My Head Male Serpentarius 40 40 Chemist Snipe HP Restore Equip Armor Teleport Romanda Gun
Crystal Helmet Diamond Armor Chantage
Hi-Potion, X-Potion, Hi-Ether, Antidote, Chronos Tear, Echo Grass, Maiden's Kiss, Soft, Holy Water, Bandage, Phoenix Down Leg Aim
Bollywood Ending Female Serpentarius 40 40 Monk Dance Projectile Guard Magic Defense Up Move = 0 P Bag
Chakra Band Secret Clothes Setiemson
Secret Fist, Chakra, Revive Slow Dance
*patiently awaits the reveal that almost every team has a Dance or Sing user, Item user, Steal user and a Two Swords user*
In the meanwhile, thanks again for this Barren.

I sincerely do wish my internet wasn't Hughsnet.
I'd be able to help otherwise, but a preemptive thanks to anyone who records.
Looking forward to literally everything, and good luck, everybody!

Looking forward to this. Let us hope the AI doesn't act too silly.
