Description
Pointless RI M.U.G.E.N. Tournament
TOURNAMENT TYPE: SIMUL (TAG TEAM)
BRACKET: DOUBLE ELIMINATION
ENTRANTS: 32 TEAMS
The very first tournament I ever ran and the beginning of the Pointless RI Tournament Series. While not the first to be ran on RI--Dante_Destroyer has that honor--I shamelessly stole his idea and ran off with it, starting a series that has been going on for close to two years already with no signs of stopping. This tournament introduced several things that would become common place at my tournaments: A large number of characters (64 total), Apocalypse's constant failures, a lot of bonus matches, a critical error that had the wrong team advance, an "alternate universe" where the bracket fragments and goes down two different paths...I'm honestly not sure how much of this will make any sense without the context of the Discussion Topic--I have no explanations as to why two of the losing teams get Survival Mode runs after the tournament is over--but it's an important part of the RI MUGEN history.
There's a bit of strangeness in the way the matches are ordered: We go through the entire normal bracket and then the entire loser's bracket, instead of switching back and forth like normal. That's just the way RI tournaments were done back in the day. While I eventually started running later tournaments correctly, the original match listing is preserved for historical purposes.
