• Tournament Mode is a head-to-head in single-elimination tournament with brackets, which works with 4 or 8 players.



• You can watch other tournament matches in progress while you're waiting for your turn and voice chat. Players competing can hear you as well, but if it annoys you, there's a mute option.

• To help with lag, spectators will be a little bit behind the actual match that's being played.



• Tournament Mode works with SSFIV's recording feature.



• There are no battle points or rankings, but Tournament Mode will give players unique and special online titles, which can be won and lost from other players.



• Character selection is double-blind.



• Tournaments will continue on even if a participating player drops out.



• While the max amount of people a tournament can hold is 8 players, a 9th person can be there as the host. If the host drops, another will be found.
