I love the SWF Friend Finder. I find it to be a great way to challenge people across the country to 1v1 or 2v2 matches over WiFi and meet fellow smashers. It's been bothering me because I feel that the SWF finder does not get the love and attention it should. Sure the boards are important, but why put the SWF Finder on the back burner? Here are a few suggestions I think would benefit the service with a few basic changes.
1. Make it more noticeable. I only happened to stumble upon it by looking real hard at the Smashboards. Maybe put a link at the top of the page or something, just make sure people can SEE it and FIND it.
2. Add a chat room. This would allow people to communicate as they set up their games so we aren't forced to resort to AIM or other messenger services.
3. Allow players to revoke challenges. I've challenged more than 1 person on occasion because of slow response times, and end up having 3-4 challengers at a time. I would be lucky if 1-2 of them had AIM so I could tell them I have another challenger waiting, but it just gets really confusing. Being able to cancel a challenge would certainly help to reduce confusion.
So heres a few basic things I want to see added to the Friend Finder. Contribute your own changes or discuss mine, but please lets take action to help change this wonderful service for the better!
