I haven't thought enough about the other rules, but I have some suggestions:

-No character restriction.
-First match will be a lag test.
-Players have 5 days to complete their games.
-No ragequit or winquit allowed.

The format and the rules are still on discussion, and all suggestions are accepted.

I guess I'll be on the chat tonight, since I still have to transfer some data to my laptop, so If anyone is interested I'l be there to discuss the topic.

May I recommend character lock, like they do in most tournaments? That is, loser of the previous match can change characters, but winner must keep the same character.

The only way to deal with Hugo in SFxTK is by poking and turtle. Zoning in that game sucks, and once Hugo hits you once with Body Press the match is almost over. The problem is that only chars like Kaz and Chun have cool pokes. SRK has worse starup in this game than in Volt, so using it after getting hit with Body Press is useless and very risky. Then, his cr.MK has the biggest range in the game, so you can't play footsies. And let's not forget Super Armor for Lariat.
His only bad matchup is against Kaz, whose Mist Step will avoid almost any attack, and his st.HK is also very good. He can deal without problems with the rest of the characters, even with Sim. You can't even bait him to do Shootdown Backbreaker by using Air Raid with Hwo or Rolento because he'll actually grab you.
So. Damn. OP.

Wouldn't that be a bit unfair?
For example: Makoto vs Abel. Makoto wins. The other player will counterpick and use for example Sagat since the other player couldn't change his character.

I don't see how that's unfair, if the other guys Sagat is good enough to win, then good for him.

Counterpicking is something that is going to happen anyway, this just prevents the tournament from turning into a mind game of what character to pick. Pre-counterpicking against an anticipated counterpick, etc...
