Hey Smashers! Today we're proud to announce a brand new section on the website, in the form of Guides! This section will serve as the home for detailed character guides crafted by your fellow players.
As the section develops, we'll be featuring the best of the best guides for every character to help new players learn everything you have to teach them when it comes to playing your favorite characters.
If you've written a guide in the past, or are interested in sharing your knowledge of a character in the form of a guide, simply visit the Guides section and select your game on the left. From there, you'll be able to choose from the list of characters and then you can select 'Create Guide'. Guides will automatically generate a discussion topic in the corresponding character discussion sub-forum.
As an added incentive during the launch of the Guides system, we're also announcing an official contest! Guide writers will have a shot at cash prizes!
Top Rated Guide: All users can rate a guide and each guide will have a cumulative rating based on these reviews. The guide that has the best rating on November 15, 2014 (11:59PM PT) with at least 50 players having rated it will receive $100.
Top Voted Guides: After the Top Rated Guide is determined, we'll set up a submission topic in the guides forum. Guide writers must submit their guide to the topic by December 1, 2014. After the submission deadline, we'll make a public poll that any member can vote in - the two guides with the top votes by December 10th will win cash! The top voted guide wins $100, the second most voted guide wins $50!
UPDATE: The rules for the "Top Voted Guide" have changed slightly. Please view this update for more details.
Smashboards has always been the home of the community, and the hub of the incredible wealth of knowledge contained within. We hope this new addition helps curate some of that knowledge into a more digestible form for all of our users, past, present and future.
