since GA sucks at a melee PR, here's a list i've compiled that has no particular order, it's just a grouping based on general tournament placings and performance over the past coupla months. highly opinionated while being fair. i probably forgot people in this list already.

please discuss and let's just get this stupid thing done already. after mid tier i kind of stopped thinking about this with any amount of seriousness

Legend Tier
bobby
blake
marty
zach
gawes' beard

Lance Armstrong Tier
GAWes

Litchi's walking animation Tier - inc perm oos

Lambchops
chaddd
xif

That's some good dank tier
fullmetal

American's At Starcraft tier? Isn't that a little harsh?

Although, The owner of the nexus (old nexus now I guess?) was the best US player back like 5-8 years ago, he got 3rd at one of the World Cyber Games, managing to take a match off of Boxer.

I actually agree with your list almost 100%, I will say that I wonder about putting everyone that's ever played in a tournament on the list. I mean, when was the last time omega or Desu (that brawl butt) even played in a Melee tournament? Other than that looks sharp.

And instead of Litchi's Walk Animation tier (while admittedly pretty beast), I think we can all agree that there is something better in BlazBlue.

Thats right.

You all know him.

Mr. 40 Pack.

BANG SHISHIGAMI

AIR TECH!

BANG DROP E-X!

GREAT SURFACE TENSION!

CHEEEEESSTOOOOO

AND FOR THE FINAL BLOW!......... I CANNOT DO IT!

I'm always on top, and She likes it that way.
but the list isn't in any real order.
just off the top of my head
****, he beat me to it...

on a serious note, GA probably should come up with a list soon. Or at least, decide on the ****ed panelists.

Xif, how you like Bang more than Litchi is and will always be beyond me...

I'm pretty sure myself and Sleepy have always been universally accepted Melee PR members.
For a 3rd or 4th... we're looking at
DashDanceDan
DogySamich
Marty
Mike G

Thats all I can remember that was brought up.
I think Chaddd deserves consideration for being a panelist too, he IS our state's top player (who is in fact a full-time GA resident)

I motion that we have a poll of some sorts (yes a popularity contest) to pick our last 1 or 2 PR members.
Then we hammer out the guidelines of what will be considered in the PR.
Then the panelists either chatroom or gather IRL to discuss, and don't leave till we have a list.
I'll keep my personal idea of our top 10 to myself for the moment, because the last few times we tried this it got dragged out into "Everyone list your opinion of the top 10".

A state's PR system is NOT a democracy. It is a democratic republic, you pick the most qualified(or people you like best) individuals to decide the PR, then you have to accept what they come up with.
It is impossible to create an up-to-date PR where everyone will be happy.

Don't like the list? GET SALTY. PRACTICE. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Thats enough ranting from me before we even have a panel. lol

i agree that chaddd should be a panelist. he makes intelligent posts and clearly has a very good understanding of GA's players.

he just needs to show up more often!
same with mike g.
marty needs to play smash more!

I wonder if I should even be on the PR list...

I mean, I've been honest with people and I've said that I really don't plan on actively becoming better.

Local tournaments for me only thx.

How could one accept a souless, out of stater such as myself?

once again i don't believe the GA pr should include the semipermanent OOs-ers to begin with because you guys are repping florida.
once again that's mad legit, if i were from GA and i went to school in NY i'd say i was from GA and i repped GA. it's just state pride and support.

i'd love marty to be panelist but he has the
"hasn't been active in the community seriously in a while"

issue

imo it's very hard to judge player skill if you aren't actively playing your opponents or even watching them. i think it'd be fine if marty just watched matches since he is experienced and intelligent but for the most part he doesn't really care for smash and plays other games, so he's sort of out of the loop.

Marty still goes to most of the tournaments, he enters teams with me at like, every tournament, so he's at least present a lot.

xif, you know that by "every tournament" you pretty much are referring to a couple months ago, right? seriously no offense to marty or you at all, as you all know i love marty no homo and xif no homo, but marty hasn't been keeping up with the scene as of late. he's still very intelligent and good, but he hasn't played our PR.

like I said before, anything you guys do is ok with me.

I'm down for Marty being a panelist but it always seems that we have to beg him to come to smash events. He's already said it himself that he's not really interested in smash anymore.

If we are going to do this we should do it legit as possible which also why I don't think I make a good panelist atm. True, I'm getting back to it, picking up the game again but chops literally cries on the phone to get me over his house to smash and I live 10 mins away xD

It may not look like it but I've been out the loop far too long =D


As of right now I think the best two candidates for panelists besides Fullmetal should be SleepyK and Dogy.

i knew i forgot some folk.

let's get one thing straight
panelists!
so far our core panelists seem to be agreed on as

Fullmetal
DogySamich
SleepyK

and our candidates for additional PR are agreed on as

chaddd
Mike G
dashdancedan

chaddd's not online all the time, but i'm sure if we asked him he wouldn't mind jumping on aim for a few minutes.

mike g is sort of out of the loop, but he's coming back in and his experience is invaluable.

dan's cryptic response of "nah i don't now how to smash bros" sounds pretty dan.
but he's probably the best representative of the marietta-kennesaw area and his experience is also invaluable. he also plays tons of friendlies and goes to most of the tournaments and travels out of state so he has a great idea of GA's metagame. he's also pretty levelheaded and prob would make objective observations. but it's up to him.

tbh the bigger the panel the more discussion there will be, and therefore the more accurate our list will be.

lol? Does Marty even want to be a panelist?

:confused:

well, to address all of this, when i was talking to XIF, i was mostly talking about before when i was fully active. we had issues doing the PR before, and an issue that came up was that the panel was being unfair. And, I said that I would EASILY be the most impartial, straight-forward person in the state to be a panelist. I still think I am one of the best candidates for the job, as I am like R. Lee Ermey, hard but fair. I've always had issues with GA's PR system and panelists, whether trying to be a panelist or being on the rankings. There was a time when I was playing that I went to about 5 or 6 straight tournaments and placed Top 5. 3 of those times, I got Top 3, not to mention I ONLY used Roy. However, the panel did not even want to put me on the rankings, and even left Eugenio on, who had not been active for months. Eugenio himself even asked why he was on there, and why I wasn't. Also, Sleepy, I don't know where you've been or whatever, but I am actually AT most of the Smash events, and I sit and play mostly everyone. I think the ONLY person I haven't played is you. So, if you account for the entire PR, then I haven't played the PR. I have played everyone except you, so I know how everyone plays and where they stand, at least in relation to me. I feel that I can reasonably gauge the players because I can still win a majority of my matches.

To be honest, I don't know if I would even WANT to be a panelist at this point. The only people that have EVER stated that they adamantly wanted me on the panel were Chad and Mike G. Chad wanted me to be because of some sketch stuff that had happened before, and he felt that I was knowledgeable and fair enough to bring about a change. When we had that poll before for panelists, he was getting pretty upset at the results, and even MORE upset when we didn't stick to the results. I guess Mike thought I would have been a good choice, too. I don't really know, to be honest, what Mike's reasoning was. I feel that, even now, I would be a very prime candidate for the job, but the rest of GA does not agree. So, you guys will do whatever you want, regardless.

So, in closing, this turned into a small rant, which was not my original intention, but a lot of stuff about GA's PR panel really irks me, and now was as good a time as any to express myself, I suppose.
