>>499564535>>499564479Thank you. It showed up well on my monitor, but I forgot to account for darker screens.
>>499564405That's a good touch as well, but I may have to change to a darker background color on the title crawl so the white border sticks out more.
>>499566487I'm not a huge fan of the pro tour format as it is commonly used.
The offline format has the issue where you're forced to travel to many locations to get points and it gates out the people that don't have time/money to go to 5 countries and amass points beating up the local populace. It just favors people that have more paid vacation days or are already pro players, so taking off multiple weekends to go to the Philippines and Colombia is not as big of a deal for them.
The online format has the issue where it's generally region locked and you have "forced equity" where you're going to have a lot of people just show up because they live in a region where not as many people are going to enter. Not to say that those people are inherently bad/worse players, but I mean that there's a chance that they had an easier entry path since they had to play fewer people in their region. Those people can be highly skilled, but it's less of an endurance test as a tournament with more players that are also skilled.
If netplay had been perfected, I'd just have it be a completely online thing with all regions fighting at once. But with our current technology, The "Tensai Cup" would probably be at a big pre-existing tournament where you get more favorable seeding if you win a qualifier, either offline or online. But if you didn't win one, you can still enter with a lower seed.
On that note, my original idea was to have a tournament called the "Kemono Cup," but the only example I can think of where a tournament had a different name than the company is "Sammy Cup" for Guilty Gear, but Sammy was the publisher of GG back then anyway.
