Because I said there would not be any byes. If I win that also evens out the brackets with 8 players each. If I lose there is another round added to the first bracket.

No, not all participants take part in ACU. There is a PSN and Xbox live assigned chat room. I'll send everyone an invite to get there. Okay Noob and ren are out. EDIT: Here are the round one Pairings. We have two brackets, I will host one while Sharriz hosts the other. Winners of each bracket will face each other in the final round. I'll host the final round. First Bracket: Hosted by Roganc666 bioodabeast vs. Boss Savage Odin Zx vs. Fatedshadow Ka0ri Daisho vs. N|J| Tuchigumo vs. TheFriendlyPyro Ogetr0 EkalB vs. Sub (Me, If I win this match will be taken out of the tourney) Second Bracket: Hosted by Sharriz POSNameless vs. Owing Monkey aXs Zero vs. Barilzar OneDarkAce vs. A Clever Moose Xbinox vs. Sharriz

You actually have a decent CQC set up weapon wise. I would just standardize it a bit. Change the rifle to a Marve for firepower, If you really need ammo use the 102, I would use the 061 spreads as they are more reliable then the Salines, the Tresor is kinda meh. It works once in a while but you might want to try the Sapla. I'm not sure how you have the weapons paired up but use the missiles with the rifle and the shotgun with the grenade launcher. I don't care what you have to do to the frame but get the tunes out of load. Yes, change to main booster. Use Virtue.

Hogire FCS doesn't do anything here. You aren't sniping so you don't need the extra range and you don't have a blade so the extra blade lock is also pointless. Just use Judith for better lock speed and radar. I hope your using Hogire core and Ekhazar arms because hogire arms are terrible. Even so I don't know what Hogire core offers and I'm too tired set up my PS3 or Xbox to figure it out. Try out the 063, I think its lighter and has better defensive stats anyway. Energy is not an issue with the boosters you insist on running. Weapon wise switch the shotgun to a rifle as your not going to be fast enough to use it. Change the RDF-0200 to a Kamal so that you have some type of CQC defense. Then change the 901s to either 203s or the 061s so you have a solid missile unit.

I'm not that sophisticated, I'm literally pulling names out of a hat.

Stuffs has offered to help host matches on the 360 side, this will make things run faster as we'll have two brackets going. I'll post up the brackets and pairing later in the day, pairings will be assigned at random.

I agree. Change the head and legs please. I don't like the full Latona booster line on an Aaliyah gen either.

The dates are remaining the same, if people don't want to give input I'm not going to change my travel plans. Current sign ups posted.

Latona arms will help keep track during jumps with higher maneuverability. I would change the boosters to Virtue/Aaliyah/Holo but I'm sure many would disagree given the use of energy weapons. You could also change one of the 705s to an altair so that you have a pretty orange laser and a pretty blue laser. (I think the altiar has better velocity too)

I would suggest a different head as well. If you go with a long range FCS like the 063 then use Argyros or Soldner. If you take a mid range FCS like Judith or Hogire try 047.

I haven't gotten to play Brave, but R2 doesn't lag that badly. I've played him often enough to know. It seems things are picking up on PS3. I wonder if that means less DR missile spammers and more creative builds.

1200 EST

I'm pretty certain that most arm mounted grenade launchers are made of fail. The travers is the only one I've seen work. In this case you could place something nasty under it and use it as a spam drop. Not sold on the hand missiles either. Alleghney > Niobrara

If I moved the dates to the 26th and 27th would that help more people make it? (besides /b/ and ren)

the 102 + spreads cannot out damage someone who can dodge those missiles or has flares. These leaves you with just a rifle to try and CQC with. (Not that a lone mg is much better, but at least it can break PA) Whoops I forgot to edit the OB. I tend to fine myself slinging the missiles with second stages more than OB jousting them. I should put a large missile on here so there is actual benefit to using the OB. If that turns out to be the case I'll try judith gen. Lahire or Holo. I don't see the benefit here. The AC doesn't want to move to the side. Lahire, meh I'll give it a try. @noob: I'm working on a CQCer that uses soluh core + argy head. Work in progress though. High KP output is extremely helpful at CQC, en management doesn't mean I'm being conservative. Not to mention Assault Armor is so much fun to use. @chod: Ironsoul hasn't been on AC in months. My dislike of the latona legs comes from attempting to make them work. Even if I'm stacking PA and high defense parts (047/WG/Aaliyah/Latona) for example, I keep asking myself why I'm not using soluh. The ACs I have that use Latona legs are dual rifle missile spammers. EDIT: I changed it some more. Hopefully Lahire legs will keep the AC fast. I'm hesitant on the Judith gen but Lahire wouldn't fit. No idea if tunes in OB thrust would make a difference. If they don't I'll place them in PA.

Yes, design switching is allowed. Each match if you wish.

Latona arms and core are fine. The head and legs are garbage. However on this AC your right. I did say I was going to play with the frame. Linstant > all. I like the KP it provides. I start there and if I can't make it work I'll change it. I only need 22000 en recovery to function. I agree that Judith and Lahire are nice generators, but preference has me using extremes in EN or KP on lightweights. I'll only consider Lahire gen on mids. The ACs just feel wrong. In this case I went Sobrero because of the booster line change. The tunes were from were I got used to Hogire sides (40 in QB thrust) those have been changed. The 2 were leftovers. Using 102 + missiles vs anyone with flares in CQC is strapping a sign to your AC that says "kill me." Motorcobra is going to let me try that idea.

Frame: Holofernes/Ekhazar/Lahire/Lahire Internals: Judith/Judith Booster Line: Aaliyah/Latona/Ortega/Linstant Weapons: Motorcobra/Allegheny/Bigsioux/061ANCM/061ANRM Tunes: 50 in En output, KP output , Missile Lock, Vertical Thrust, Main QB, OB thrust, Turning 42 in Maneuverability Stabilized: (0,0) Analysis: Ok, I had a strange thought when I used my missile AC yesterday. The SC that was there is only used as a finisher at this point so would a SR do the same job. This is the result. The idea is to control forward and backward movement. You start off by slingshooting and/or jousting missiles then finish them off with the SR and spreads. (or vice-verse) I haven't had the time to test this out yet, I basically turned on FA and threw this together to make sure its not overweight. Thats about it. Frame: Changed I tried to make it lighter so that speed didn't go down the drain when I used a heavier gen. Internals: Judith for Missile lock Judith gen because Sobrero can't use OB Booster Line: This is mostly unimportant. The OB should be doing the work. I run the other boosters commonly in CQC. Weapons: Joust the Allegheny and Bigsioux. Spreads and MG work together. The 061 extensions are the probably the best missile relations IMO. Thoughts?

I have both systems and I prefer my PS3 for most of my gaming, however when it comes to ACFA Xbox has the better community by far.

There are players on ACFA PS3. Depends on what time of day you get on. But do yourself a favor and buy an Xbox if you want to play ACFA online.

Nah, you can make a new account and send me a friend request labeled /b/ or NlJl. I'll know who you are. Or you could just play on 360 @fated: yep ACO is down.

Actaully there is a surprising number of people willing to enter on PSN. I'll get names up this weekend.

I like how Phantasma gets killed when you hardly touched your booster and often stood right in his face. I use PLUS so I have nothing to say about the AC.

So that it drains even more. NlJl er /b/ said everything else.

I would switch the extensions to the BFF spreads and use Judith mains. I would also use Aaliyah backs but on PSN I doubt it would be necessary. Drop the hangers and see if you can fit the ekhazar core on this since you can use the extra AP. Oh wait you have load tunes... Use judith gen to cut back on weight, drop the hangers and use the 063 rifle. If ekhazar core will fit use it.
