Are you ready to set your controller scheme of choice on fire? With our latest blog anniversary, we're hosting a small tournament to test our readers' skills. Everyone's welcomed to join the fray!
Rules
This tournament is made of three different courses, each of them featuring a couple of songs. The participants have to choose one or more courses to compete in and take a snapshot of the results screen for each of the chosen courses' songs.
Each of the contest entries have to be sent at pikaby@gmail.com, including the name of the courses chosen, the result screens' snapshots, the Taiko game used for the play in the e-mail's text and a nickname for the final results's posting. The attached snapshots will also have to fulfill these requirements:
- For this tournament, the songs have to be played on officially-released Taiko games, unless otherwise specified;
- In order to join one of the courses, a snapshot of the result screen for both songs is required, otherwise the partial score results received will be only counted for the songs' individual scores;
- No modifiers (eg. Baizoku, Doron, Auto, ...) are allowed to be used for the songs.
The submission entry period will last from today -August 29th, 2016- to September 11th, 2016. The final results will be posted during the following week, with each contestant receiving a commemorative present through an e-mail message shortly after.
