Today, Aug. 23 is tournament day at the Maui Mall Fun Factory for a Tekken 6 Warm-up Tournament. This is basically a pre-tournament to get people ready for the Tekken tournament that is going to happen.
A friend of mine, who loves the game, enters because of his love for the game...and the $60 grand prize too. However, there is one major problem.....
The tournament rules that has been set up by Fun Factory are extremely F#@ked Up:
36 people entered the tournament today; Each person receives a number.
In order to play, you MUST pay for the game as if you were playing in the arcade normally. ($1 per game).
Player 1 is set to play Player 2. If Player 1 wins, he stays on the machine and Player 3 challenges Player 1. This continues unless Player 1 loses, then which the player who beat him stays on the machine.
The problem with this, if you don't already understand, is that Player 1 has to play through 35 people to win the prize. This gives him a 1 in 36 chance of winning and has to pay $35 to get through that far. Player 36 then has the best advantage. He has a 1 in 2 chance of winning and only has to play $1. I think 50% is too high compared to 2.7% chance of winning....FAIL.
