boon stated there will be a online mode but he didnt clarify if itll be tournament

Sounds awesome! I just hope online plays smoothly with a better net code! - So important.

I would enjoy doing that with friends.

With strangers? No thanks...lol Some people are just too darn good, that it gets to be no fun. And I consider myself pretty decent, probably a 7 when you take into account high tournament players are 9 and 10's, with your average casual being a 5. So I can hold my own, but when it comes to stringing long combos, counting frames, and all that jazz...yeaaaahhhh. So tournaments with people like that wouldn't be much fun.

But as I said, just amongst friends, it would be a lot of fun. I would also like the option to watch each fight. I enjoy seeing my friends play their matches, as it often leads to lots of intense moments and excitement lol.

8 player tourney. 3 wins to victory. I'd love that.

I guess it be cool for those that want it, but I would not use it. I suck at fighting. I probably be like a 3 or 4 hehe I would not mind spectating though!
