You must find your own path to the future.
Overview
A while ago we held some great match-up discussions here on Smashboards. To improve matchup understanding, I want to make that a thing again. Though -- back then, we had some issues that should hopefully be taken care of with this new version. - The Smashboards system itself... it was not very kind to retrieving information about the type of discussion. This issue is 100% fixed by Shulk101, where we can store the most useful information we extract from the discussions.
- Lack of guidance. We didn't really set out much guidelines for what we wanted to achieve with the discussions. Shulk101 kind of does that for us now - lays out the key information we want to find. The idea is to fill up those tabs.
- MU Score Discussion Centralization - People would tend to focus on how good the matchup is for Shulk more than to discover things about it. Conclusions on this were made too quickly. We don't need to do this much since Napon, a Shulk Discord mod, has collected community and professional MU scores through independent polls. The discussion is still welcome ... but it isn't very productive to focus on.
The framework of this:
- Discord:
- Character / MU Q&A's
- Battle matchmaking
- Social stuff
- Light analysis
- Wide-scoped information retrieval
- Character / MU Q&A's
- Smashboards
- Focused discussion
- In-depth analysis
- Ideas and exploration
- Arguments
- Summarizing JMU Information
- Technically you can do Q&A or light analysis here too, but the responses would be slower.
- Focused discussion
- Shulk101
- More summarizing of information
- Storing information
- Retrieving information easily
- More summarizing of information
Also, assuming this takes off, each JMU will have its own thread, where I will link to the server the JMU is taking place in and give instructions on how to get the right flair to participate.
OTHERWISE:
Go ahead and talk about any match-up stuff in this channel that you like! No need to wait until the thread or jmu happens!
