Arizona Brawl Power Rankings and Brawl Social Thread (Updated: November 2013)

[Jane]

Also, these debates are becoming meaningless because it seems that no one is going to change their mind.

this haha. to sum up my thoughts, here is a list of things i support, in order of how much i support them. so 1 is what i would want us to do ideally and 3 is what i want to do least. BUT ULTIMATELY I'LL DO WHAT THE MAJORITY OF OUR AZ BRETHREN WANT TO DO. BECAUSE DEMOCRACIES ARE COOL AND I LOVE YOU GUYS <3

1. follow unity
2. japan ruleset
3. do both japan ruleset and unity tournies in one day

 

[KiraFlax]

It seems like over all things japanese ruleset is having the most popularity over unity rule set and former rule with mk not banned. lets just end this war and have a couple of tournies where we do japanese rule set. If arguements keep going after this I will Enforce this anyways. I dont care what anyone says anymore this is what we are doing for the next couple of tournaments as a test. Then after ward comes unity rule set test. we are done with these arguements. CASE CLOSED

P.S. really this would not have settled unless the hammer was thrown down, so i just chose to be the one that did it.

 

[Jane]

well can someone show me the japanese ruleset then? or by "japanese ruleset" is everyone actually meaning "three stages"

 

[KiraFlax]

Theres a lot more differences then just the stages.

also this saturday we may possible do the two bracket thing.

 

[Duff0]

i have the same order as jane except swap 1 and 2

what that basically means is having two brackets is something i dont want to do

That's relatively it, still trying to confirm everything though. SRT, the Japanese world wide tournament they're hosting has slightly differing rules, in regards to stages, where FD BF and SV are neutral, and Lylat, YI, and PS1 are CP.

 

[Duff0]

that ruleset is a dream come true

 

[DerpDaBerp]

Hard to have good attendance when the day before a tourney you're about to go to, its up and moved to a location to another city cuz the TOs didn't actually plan properly...ie this past weekend. Nice to see Tucson fail at organization

If you'd like to rib someone for a mistake, maybe you should stop and realize how incapable of a TO you were that and your opinion still doesn't matter.

which is to become one of the top 5 yoshis.

How are you not a top 5 yoshi? Are there really 5 other Yoshi mains that get consistently better results than you? Cuz you regularly get around 7th and that seems really good for a Yoshi player especially considering attendance has grown.

I'm hoping after all my practice he's finally tourney-viable.

 

[Jane]

thanks jard. and why is there no smashville on doubles? the ****?

 

[FoxFireMage]

If you'd like to rib someone for a mistake, maybe you should stop and realize how incapable of a TO you were that and your opinion still doesn't matter.

I HAVE to hear how I was an incapable TO, while my tourneys brought people and a reliable venue...I'll wait

 

[Aaven]

that ruleset is a dream come true

^ This.

@Derp: Samuel L. Jackson for the win.

 

[KiraFlax]

actually lets just do something fun instead of second bracket like doubles or low tier

Also shoot that under the stage thing is going to hurt my game play but its fair enough.

One Change to this rule I will make to it right away. we will be keeping 3/5 matches when it comes to Finals matches. Also I really think that we should be able to pick green color if we wanted to.

Also in singles no counter pick stages!!!!! hallelujah. finally no stupid stages! actually the one with ps1 lylat and YI are ok i guess as counter picks.

Why didnt we do this before. This is the most legit stuff ever i say we keep playing with these rules forever.


JUST SO EVERYONE GETS IT CLEAR.......... This is a test run of of the japanese rule set later they will change to unity set rules (with mk ban) as a test or permanently. Will be decided later in the season.

 

[DerpDaBerp]

I HAVE to hear how I was an incapable TO, while my tourneys brought people and a reliable venue...I'll wait

For the sake of not derailing the actual substantial conversation we have going

Spoiler

1. You bringing us to Katana brought us a venue fee and fewer new consistent entrants than Kyle's capacity for small talk alone. Can't lean on that

2. Being a new member to the community when you assumed the role as TO, you had a lack of respect towards others that actually became enough for people to want to avoid a tournament or fest simply because you were involved. I can vouch for this as I am one. Recall the "Chris only wins because he plays MK" nonsense.

3. If I recall correctly, Kyle or Chris edited your seeding and/or pool arrangement. Perhaps not because of a lack of familiarity with Tio, you just weren't familiar enough with the people around you and their history to know what combinations were best.

4. Correct me if this wasn't the case, but I believe you had an issue with pool eliminations. Something either about them getting refunded or not having pool eliminations at all. No good TO will give a refund. Again, I cannot be sure how heavily that applies to you or if you were TOing when it happened. I'm certain Bullivant had an issue with it one tournament and I just seem to recall you supporting his effort. No offense to Bullivant

All in all, the main reason is your audacity as a relatively new player repels people. Unpleasant TOs are bad TOs.

I cannot expect you to concede to ANY of these points, but the scene's scorn did not spontaneously materialize for nothing. If I'm wrong, then reflect on it yourself.

I love that ruleset. Especially how with 2-out-of-three, a 3rd-game set will force you to play all 3 neutrals. That's kinda cool. And I actually agree with Kevin about the colors and 3/5 thing for finals lol

 

[Jar'd]

The glide under the stage rule is still in the Unity ruleset. It's the anti-scrooge rule.

 

[SFA Smiley]

Sean ive already tried to discuss this wiyh you. Youre unpleasant and stubborn. That alone makes you a bad TO because a to has to be an open pleasant individual because they are put in a positiin that requires them to mediate with various people to figure out whats best for the scene. You just dont have the inherent qualities. The fact that you like it that people hate you is proof of this. You literally drove people away. I have the best relationship with scene newbies and a common complaint was that people thought you were cocky and annoying

 

[The Sage of Shadow: Darklink]

Where is the tournament this weekend?

 

[Aaven]

Where is the tournament this weekend?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

[Carn]

I have kind of been lurking around as all this stuff has unraveled, I didn't really know if my input really mattered since I am relatively new to playing Brawl.

I don't really feel like Metaknight should be banned. I am not the best player, which is why this may be the case, but I personally feel like I lose more often because of my own skill level, not because of what character they are playing. When I lose, I feel like I need to get better, MK or not. Metaknight is not a simple character to use either, most people probably has the most match up experience versus Metaknight than any other character, forcing the Metaknight players to become better anyways.

Since I am still new, the ban does not really effect me, but I know it has some harsh effects on people that main Metaknight, and I know I would be rather annoyed if the character I spent hours upon hours of practice was no longer playable. I am fine with sucking it up and getting good enough at the game to try to beat any of these Metaknight players.

That being said, I am all for the Japanese rule set. I like simpler stages.

 

[SFA Smiley]

Kira can you tell Stevo to send me the Replays on his Wii?

Me and Yummy! had a really funny match and I wanna upload it.

 

[Jane]

One Change to this rule I will make to it right away. we will be keeping 3/5 matches when it comes to Finals matches. Also I really think that we should be able to pick green color if we wanted to.

agreed on both accounts.

JUST SO EVERYONE GETS IT CLEAR.......... This is a test run of of the japanese rule set later they will change to unity set rules (with mk ban) as a test or permanently. Will be decided later in the season.

i say lets just do it the whole season, and then next season decide if we wanna do unity or just keep the *** ruleset. no need to tinker with the rules mid-season, honestly.


LOL you cant say "jap" hahaha this website is ****ing gay.

 

[DerpDaBerp]

Oh lol, I was wondering what three-letter word was being used




and good **** Carn, I hope you enter more often

 

[SFA Smiley]

***an is considered a racial slur, that's why

It's one of those outdated things from WW2, I think it's a bit arbitrary, personally. It's the natural progression of language it no longer holds a negative tone but whatever

Hey sorta random but I wanna make sure you guys are aware of some of the other players reppin' AZ that you might not be aware of

http://www.youtube.com/user/supernintendohotdog

That's 1-up AKA Wafty's channel. He's a tucsonian that plays mostly wi-fi but he's been to a few tourneys (He and Moo, got second actually in our random doubles event [with random partners])

but yeah he's got some super lulzy replays and aweosme gimmicky stuff on his channel including a highlight video. So yeah just giving him a plug because I like his channel a lot it's really funny.

Also http://www.youtube.com/user/MyTagIsASmileyFace?feature=mhee

That's MY channel that you should subscribe to. I'm gonna start working on hype/highlight videos and stuff and any vid that's on MY SD card I upload, so if you want me to upload something for you send it my way and I'll hook you up

 

[Sky Pirate]

Used to be that you couldn't say "gay" either.

JANE, STOP CENSOR DODGING WITH THE F-WORD.

 

[Jane]

sorry clovey <3333

have you been keeping up with our intense debates?

 

[Sky Pirate]

I beg your pardon, but I have. I was actually looking for the Japanese ruleset before that "Jar'd" fellow posted it. ^_^

 

[SFA Smiley]

Matches on my SD Card = Recorded. I've got most of Kyle's Matches (So if you played him you're on here, cept Kira)

I gotta upload them and tag them still

EDIT: Oh **** Kira IS on here. I dunno how I jumped over his matches. Well im not set up and **** anymore but I'll have it recorded when I upload them

 

[Jar'd]

Posting that ruleset should totally pardon my censor dodging infractions ;D

As long as zipperhead isn't censored though I'm happy.

 

[RaveRemix]

How about Rage Comic characters for this PR's theme? :D I call "Oh God, why?" if that happens.

Rage comic characters: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/rage-comics

 

[Dark Shifter]

no rave, we doing cartoon cartoon theme.

 

[Yoshiken96]

So many great PR ideas . What's it gonna be you guys? Anjila needs to know soon so that she can get started on it.

 

[Dark Shifter]

its been decided. CARTOON CARTOONNNNN

 

[Yoshiken96]

Everyone vote for what you want, majority wins.

 

[Jane]

OMFG WE ARE DOING RAGE CHARACTERS NEXT SEASON. DONE. NO DEBATE. theres so many amazing ones that i dont even wanna reserve one yet. i will be thinking about my choice all of this season.


anyways, for this season i agree with CARTOON CARTOONS and as i said before, i call dexter's dad.

 

[Dark Shifter]

i call billy from billy and mandy

 

[RaveRemix]

The thing about cartoons is that they've been done in some form many other times in other PR lists. Rage Comic Characters on the other hand have never been done to my knowledge, and it would be great to do something no one else has, especially something that popular (so popular, that I would imagine the theme would already be used by some other state if we wait til next season).

Not to mention, our image for our Power Ranking tournament this season featured a Rage Comic Character. Just sayin'

 

[Jane]

well if everyone agrees to rage comic faces then i'm completely down. but i am also down with cartoon cartoons so whatever gets the most votes, that's what i'm with.

 

[SFA Smiley]

I don't want rage faces

Don't get me wrong, I like em

but keep that **** at reddit or 4chan or wherever the hell you think it belongs lol

 

[Jane]

yeah so lets just do cartoon cartoons this season and rage faces next. enough of this stalling.

chris, kyle, kira, shawn, yummy, stevo, yoshiken, and tommy need to choose their character.

 

[Jar'd]

Also looking more at Japanese ruleset, one rule I didn't mention, but is relatively important:
You can only extend MetaKnight's DownB ONCE, for 10 seconds MAXIMAL, after that, you are prohibited from doing so until the percent changes on either player.

Also added rule to my post, to make it a better reference.

 

[Anjila]

NO RAGE FACES PLEASE. I handle enough /b/tard crap and overused memes on a daily basis.

Unless someone else wants to make it, lol. That'd be fine with me.

Anyway, I can't quite create the PR image just yet, since our new computer hasn't been delivered. It should be here by Friday, but I also need to reinstall my old programs.

"Challengers Approaching" need to choose their characters, too. I choose Mojo Jojo, omg
