Ikemen Go Configurator – Hotfix Version 1.3b Released on 9/16/2026

This hotfix addresses issues with Tournament Mode. Here is all that has changed. Click the image above to download this update.

CONFIRMED WORKING IN v1.3b
• Fight ! on the top bar next to Play while Tournament is open (stays visible at any window size or display scaling)
• Fight launches on Ikemen GO 1.0 stable and nightly
• Drawing then Fight can start the first match (Start is optional)
• Match finished after you close Ikemen, then pick the winner
• Short Tournament command line (1.0 no longer rejects extra flags)
• Launch without requiring Administrator
• Splash logo ~3 seconds (packed inside the exe)
• Tournament format: 4, 6, 8, … 32
• Winners advance on the tree; champion fills the last box

CREDIT
YouTube user Chuiaumax4260 found and documented the Tournament Fight button vanishing on some PCs and Fight doing nothing on Ikemen GO 1.0 while Quick Versus worked. This patch exists because of those reports. Full credit to him.

HOW TO RUN TOURNAMENT
1. Place this exe next to Ikemen_GO.exe (replace the old configurator).
2. Open it, click Load All.
3. Tournament tab → pick fighters (or Random) → Drawing.
4. Click Fight ! on the top bar (or the green button in Current Match).
5. Play the match, close Ikemen, click Match finished, pick the winner.

Known Limitations
• Tournament results are not read from Ikemen GO. After Match finished, you choose the winner. Automatic detection will not be retried in this line of releases.
• Character-select portraits are not on the bracket. SFF v2 needs palettes and LZ5. Names only.
• Ikemen GO Lua modules (in-engine tournament modes and similar) cannot be translated into this Python app. Different environment; that would be a rewrite, not a patch.
• Challenge Mode is not included.
• Practice Mode is not the engine Training menu.
• Network / Netplay toggle remains disabled.

CRITICAL NOTE
On some rigs the left-column Fight button was clipped or missing while it showed on others. That was layout / scaling, not a missing feature. v1.3b puts Fight on the top bar so it cannot disappear.

Extra Note
Always click Load All before Drawing. Empty slots show “— vs —” and will not start a match. If Ikemen 1.0 still does not open from Fight, use the top-bar Fight after Load All + Drawing. Quick Versus was never the bug; Tournament command flags on 1.0 were.
