Surprisingly enough, you don't need to be an amazing top player to be "somebody." People who don't place top 3 can still know something <_<
Mostly nobodies. Yeah, Bizkit is alright and Mikehaze is pri good. But the rest of the players?
AZ's done his stuff, but he's always seemed like a prick with an agenda, imo.
Did you know that AlphaZealot has been ranked 1st in Ohio? Did you know that he was the Brawl host for MLG, arguably the largest and most important Brawl tournament series? How about that even without Brawl, he still works for MLG.
Delux, openly admits he's a nobody, literally.
Did you know he is one of the directors of the Smash Lab? A group completely based on knowing the complete ins and outs of the game lol
M@v, not even close to a top player. Just posts a lot like he knows what he's talking about.
Did you know that M@v has actually been power ranked on occasion, and is currently? Even though PA isn't the most active thing in the world right now, he's actually only one spot below me atm. He is also basically the only consistent host in anything of PA that isn't Philadelphia. Mav also has a good sense of work ethic and effort, and pays close attention to the community.
P-1, he seems like a reasonable dude. Not a bad player either.
I can't comment too much on him personally since I haven't met him yet, but I know he is a solid player who is power ranked top 3 in his state.
T1mmy, good player. I got nothing against him. Knows what he's talking about and whatnot.
So with all this why include him here lol. Also basically one of the only TOs in the pac north west zone, and regional representation to accurately keep in touch with all regions.
T-Block, random decent player of a bad character...
And hosts many events in western Canada. When we opened up the URC for Canada as well, we started off with Tin Man and T-Block, can you think of any better TO candidates?
Tin Man, most known for being all over Dabuz's nuts at that one tourney.
Which was actually at my tourney lol. Besides that tough, very skilled player, usually places top 3 at tournaments where he is. Tin Man is also one of the main reasons for why Unity now extends to Canada. His passion for the group/project and getting it into Canada is simply unmatched. He has also done a ton of organizational work for the URC, including running our weekly meetings, which has really improved the quality of the room and group imo.
Today, does she even play the game?
Zac, biggest MK hater/super prick (one of those guys that Bees was complaining about, from what I've heard around here) been retired for like a year.
Been retired yet... still hosting and entering events? Super prick? Chill with the insults bro, have you ever gotten a chance to actually talk to him or get to know him? I've never experienced this mysterious side to him like you have lol. Also you say Mike Haze and Bizkit are above all others (which I think is just because that's what others have said), yet don't include Zac? Incredibly influential player to both Texas and GaW.
Yink, most known for being a girl...... hasn't done anything notable playing-wise.
And hosting two very successful events, planning another even larger one, being in the BBR, leader of the Ness matchup panel, and knows basically the entire ins and outs of the character. Have you ever gotten a chance to talk to her? You can't beat her in a debate lol
Chibo, not a bad player. I'll admit, I've never read too much of what you've had to say, except that you hate ponies.
Yes, I really really hate the pony fad going around. Urg. I've been power ranked every single season in PA since the start of Brawl, going as high as 2nd place. I've attended most nationals, and made it to bracket at most of them. I've defeated numerous national level players. I also believe I have hosted more Smash tournaments than any other TO ever in the community, past and present.
Z'zgashi, ummm, not even a decent player of a bad character from a random region, most known for... trying to be Fluttershy?
I personally can not speak much for him as I don't know him too well, though I'm sure people from his region can.
Xyro, washed-up, hard-headed, stuck in the past. I don't think I need to say more. Though he is a very funny dude.
He's hosted more Brawl tournaments than any other TO in the smash community. I also believe he has the best average attendance for his events, especially consider how many he has hosted. He is absolutely influential in terms of hosting.
Technical Chase, who? Seriously.
Same as Fluttershy, I can not say too much about him unfortunately. I know he's a player and TO from Michigan, and have talked to him on occasion. Very respectful and good at discussions. Best to talk to people who know him better than I.
But yeah, not really the most respect-garnering people/players you have back there.
I hope I've shed some light on these people for you.
edit:
The person you missed is Ran.
Basically the reason Louisiana had a scene. Another one of the BBR members in the URC since some people think that is valid enough credibility. Has hosted a solid number of events with some neat exclusives for the community such as novice brackets (different from AMs). He recently moved to Colorado and is ready to completely revitalize the dying scene. Within weeks of moving there he found a new gaming center being built, got a job there, and is using it for his new venue for consistent events (and the venue is amazing). Is great at advertising his events, and all this considered, is a head of his community like some of our other members are for our respective areas.
