Ah okay. Means we wont be able to prepare rounds ahead of time...and Damn. I will be asleep then. Will be delayed doing my Fight Analysis until I wake up...which will probably be in like...10 hours from now or something lol.

While it is regrettable that I've wasted your time preparing for some of the matches, in the end I think this is the far more interesting solution to keep the contest fresh and the matches unpredictable.

Oh I agree. Its not a waste if it helps me understand them better. I am just unhappy that my sleep schedule wont allow me to be the first to post probably.

Keeping things fresh new and interesting is always the best way to making for some new fun fights, balanced fights is always hard to put together but im sure you can make things at lest the most enjoyable as possible for all parties~

Gotta admit, I don't like having my work invalidated. It's pretty unfair to those of us who actually put in the work to analyze these fights from every possible angle. I'm very likely just being the saltiest salt who ever salted at the moment, and frankly it's just unreasonable for me to be upset. It's not so much about the effects changing, as I honestly think that's a good idea, it just would have been nice to know ahead of time before spending a good 5 hours analyzing the potential Ash/Onodera fight from four different tactical possibilities between them only to realize the whole thing is getting thrown out the window.

*sigh* Again, just being salty, please don't take it personally.

For this I deeply apologize, it was the original intend that you could save time by writing the analysis beforehand. A lot of the tournament stuff has been a trial and error approach, where I feel that each event significantly improves the experience.

But I have to admit, I am both honored and glad that you've been able to enjoy the event enough to spend so many hours on your analysis. =)

No problem, I'm over it XD At this point I'm actually more excited to see what the second Science Lab's bonus will be. If it's based on infinite somethings, there's only a couple of things I can think of, and if it's what I think it is... >:]

Infinite Health.. the fight that lasts forever /o/

Hm... I actually like this. It makes for extra creative thinking and forces people to put their pen and papers to the test the moment the next stage hits instead of preemptively typing up something and then trying to rush their full analysis in the second the submission is open with copy+paste (I honestly doubt that has been what's going on, just an example). While I feel bad for those who had already planned ahead everything, I like how the direction will go as it will make it to where old and maybe new players to the analysis game could have interesting discussion.

Then again I may be biased as I enjoy logging in to see what new thing has hit and analyzing from there rather than having all the data there for me to analyze and there be nothing... unpredictable to occur. It's not fun if I already know the result before the fight even begins. Especially after we've already seen every character's powers, and thus their combos and how X person can abuse X stage mechanic to win no matter what.
