Hmmmm yeah.....i don't think it will be THAT difficult. First things first though. Have to get the actual list in order, get the theme picked out and then go from there.

How do you put a theme on a PR?

Pretty pictures of Megaman? Substituting names for Megaman names? A special appearance by the real Megaman at the next tourney to announce the list?

If the last is true, I vote for a Kiss theme.

duuuuude.....shhhhhh we get it
lol sry, this is just an easy place to vent my frustrations about how far away your city is. I blame Texas more than anything else, bigger is NOT always better.
And the drive isn't bad if I go nuts on the caffeine, its just a long time to be sitting in my car.

I still say i should be on the list. I am very much apart of you guys. More than anywhere else at least. I WILL be making an effort to come to stuff.

This is still my take on the PR. I will just list these names in simple format for now.

So when is Amarillo coming? Tyson wants to wreck on some ZSS.. ;)
We are leaving at 7 on sunday be there around 9. Be ready for a full day of smash!! We are gathering at phil's place right ? We are bringing at least 1 fulls setup. Ginko/Turdox are still maybes at this point.
HYPE :) Cant wait to hang with lubbock all day!

Hmm, I don't know if I'd put you in 2nd though b/c everyone else has been in more local tournaments than you Tyson. We are basing ranking on tournaments but skill level factors in as well.

The point of a PR is to rank your best players to least. Tournament placing and skill typically go hand in hand. Just like in Houston, Roy_R doesn't attend all the hobo's but when he does get a chance to go to one he consistently places well, thus was always on the PR.
So you're saying how many tournaments you attend weighs heavily??

Also, you could add ADHT to the list, it had all the amarillo guys and lubbock people in it too. I'm not going to make a big deal out of it all ( cause its not at all) I was just curious. If that's what everybody general thinks then hey by all means i understand. No biggy =)

We were going to follow UTD Zac's system where tournament results are the prime factor for ranking people. I have no problem putting you in second Tyson. You obviously deserve it but I'd rather get everyone's input before doing it like that.

Oh right, Zac's system bases it off head-to-head. Which is good, and yeah the system does reward people for going to more tourneys( which is a good thing) One of the reasons the system works well is it doesn't punish people either for not attending ( like in my case)
If you look at Dojo in the Texas power rankings, he hasn't been to a tournament in forever, yet he still has his place at #2 and will stay their until someone plays in enough tourneys and gets enough points to pass him.

You guys do whatever you see fit, i don't care where i am on it. As long as i am on it. 806 is my Home =)

Tyson, I have a few questions for you. Depending on your answers will determine if we can put you on our permanent PR or Not.
1.) Where do you live? (not where you are from lol)
2.) Do you still play smash? (sorry, but sometimes your retired and sometimes your active)
3.) Money Match lol?

The reason I ask this is because:
As many of us think that the main point of a power ranking list is to name who is best, who the top dog is, and who is the "Best on the Block", you start to miss the true purpose of the list. Which is.......
*drum roll*
To spark competition between players and strive for improvement in the metagame and personal game. The only problem I would find by putting Tyson on the Power Ranking is that, imagine if you we put him in the Number 2# spot. Tyson goes back to where ever he goes to college. Now Kyle is here chasing after 2nd spot...that he is never going to get because Tyson is long gone. How does that spark the competition? We won't know who is better between Kyle and Tyson until he comes back. Also, by not entering any recent tournament we can not track the progress of other players Vs Tyson ( like I bet Tyson Vs Bad Karma would be awesomely close). Thus delaying correct ranking and such. What is a Power Ranking, but a list of how well someone does Vs everyone else?
Kyle if you do meet Tyson in a tourney one day, just think....One more right?
SO TYSON!!! MOVE BACK TO LUBBOCK PLZ!!!! WE WOULD LOVE TO PLAY YOU MORE!

People could ( and would ) easily catch up and pass me just by entering tournaments alone with Zac's system. You are rewarded for attending more tournaments(and doing decent)for the most part.

Anyways, yes i do live in San Angelo, yes i am starting to play smash again, and no to a money match =) I was never fond of the idea of putting money on a game where my character can randomly trip and any given moment =P

I do disagree with how you think it will effect things ( like kyle chasing me and never being able too, when in reality he would pass me by just going to more tournaments than me and accumulating points)

Well I am assuming most people will take Dakpo's view on this, so that's all good. Just forget i even brought it up =)

Dakota, Tyson might represent a milestone to which we all can reach and eventually surpass. Kyle will be chasing 1st place, he can pass Tyson if Tyson misses a tournament and technically everyone else gets bumped up for tournament attendance. No worries there, everything balances out. Aren't you thinking of attending more lubbock events anyways Tyson? It'd be awesome for you to make it to DMT 5. I'm just restating what Tyson just said and it makes sense.

I only say that because we won't be getting the program zac uses for the PR for months probably. Otherwise I would have no problem putting you at 2 or 3. 2 if you can best Kevin :)
See my point though? Not trying to the bad guy here lol

I find that Andre and I are pretty even in skill, it justs takes a lot to warm up our low tiers. Once we get them going, team Super Mario World is a formidable pair.

this reminds me! It sounds alot more fun now that I feel alot of us got some of the basics of brawl down.

When are we going to do a Low-tier's side event ?? I suggest we do it at DMT 6! :D

Pit combo videos always try to make arrow looping seem viable -.-

Thought this video did have a few other interesting set ups like using WoI to footstool someone in the air, i had no idea that worked. Anyway thanks for the link Dakota!

Results would be
1. dakota Thank you so much dakota <3 I truly learned alot today!!!

2. phil OMG phil!! I truly felt like I had gotten a ton better since the last time we played. It was awesome to see that you did too!! I was lovin that snake!! So many sexy things you kept doing involving your trademark BOOM :DDDD

3.kevin Man I dont know if you will even read this but Dont quit brawl.. If you dont enjoy your mains anymore pick up a different character. I wouldnt want to play IC's or D3 for that very reason.. You are a great player and can main anything if you put work in.

4. PaNiC SHUT UP NEWB

5 Nolan aka SUPERKING!! <--- diggging your tag :D You told me you werent very good at critiques but alot of the advice you gave seemed to help alot. Seriously thanks so much!! Keep up that Kirby practice! If you enjoy playing him then learn as much as possible about him and dont give up!!

6???????

Thanks so much lubbock for hanging with us all day it was alot of fun!!! Rofl @ the time-outs that happened today in our friendly tournament. Next time I promise to be able to Viably get past those arrows Nolan!! (so that way i/we dont have to resort to timing out shenanigans >.<) Seems like DMT 5 is going to be Very competitive.

@Kyle Thanks so much for the metaknight help I'm happy to say that I beat kevin after our practice session which i feel is an accomplishment. Cant wait til dmt 5!!! Also!! (from Me Phil Nolan Ginko Kevin) Second place on the 806 PR is currently the most competitive spot!!
We are coming for you :p <3

I thought 3rd spot was the most competitive? Kyle's prolly gonna stay in 2nd unless some major upsets take place at DMT 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, ...106....378.. ;)

I dont think even kyle is close to beating you yet and currently he is the best besides you.

I think eventually we will get competitive for that top spot, but right now that isnt plausible.

@alejandro You should see some of the games between Kyle vs Phil or Kyle vs me They are very close when we are playing our best.
