#beginner tournament

Welcome to The Tumblr Open. Saturday 11, 11AM CST. Same time every week.

The Tumblr Open is a non-elimination tournament. That means that even if you get destroyed for four matches in a row, you will still get to play and you will play against people like you. Again, if you have never played the game before, you will eventually be matched against players like you. And, hey, Strive has high damage so you'll get there pretty quick!

The point of this event is not to find out who is the best, it is to get you matches against other people of your skill level. Maybe we can make a finale of the two best players battling it out, but we would do that to build community, not to stroke anyone's ego.

This community is wonderful. It's small enough that we all learn each other's names and get to watch each other grow. It's truly unlike anything I've ever experienced before, and I'm honored to facilitate. We'd love to have you join our little community and share in something we all love!

2XKO is new enough that nobody knows what they're doing, and has a big enough publisher that it's guaranteed to be a success. And it's free. This is an unprecedentedly good time to get into fighting games. There are SO MANY PEOPLE having the 'mash buttons and see what works' experience right now, and having the time of their lives! Just look at NorthernLion!

How would you like to be one of them?

I'm running a weekly event Saturdays 11am CST in NA region. Like everything in the fighting game community, it's a tournament, but that really just means you'll play against others of your skill level. You can't be eliminated; if you lose, all that means is that you'll just play against other people with the same record as you.

If you're thinking to yourself "I can't do that", "my reactions aren't good enough for fighting games", "I would just get destroyed", then people are you are exactly why I've been running this event for six months! We started in Guilty Gear Strive and have a wonderful community of people. Now, we're starting over in 2XKO!

The point is not to find out who's the best: it is to all sit around and scream at the same thing together. And isn't that kind of the point of living?

Have you been looking at Guilty Gear? In love with the character design of a certain biscuit, but don't want to get creamed by experts? This tournament is SPECIFICALLY for you! I cannot emphasize this enough! If you have never even played the game, I want you to buy it, do the mandatory online tutorial, and come on down! I promise you, no matter how bad you think you'll do, someone else will do exactly as badly as you, and you'll have a great time figuring out what your buttons do together.
