REQUIRED
1. I have been playing smash competitively since March 9th 2008
2. I try to attend tournaments at least once a month; however, I sometimes am able to make it out 2-3 times depending on how active the MW is and my work/school schedule. I am very familiar with the local, regional and national competitive scene but am only a little familiar with the international scene.
3. I consider myself to be a high level player. I typically place top3 in the MW, but I haven't been able to break that high in national events. I have placed top 5 in regional tournaments on the west coast.
4. The MW is a very encouraging place from what I've seen, so I'm sure they would support anyone being a member.
5. I would consider myself a discussion leader. I love putting forth subjects for discussion and making sure the following discussion keeps on track to promote arriving at an educated answer.
6. I used to TO a bit in 2009-2010; however, recently I have only helped other TOs in running their events successfully.
7. With smash being ever evolving I cannot claim to say whether or not the tier list is objectively accurate as it is. Within the current rule-set I think it is reliable.
8. I have reservations on Brinstar being legal based on an ideology of smash being player vs player, as opposed to player vs player vs computer, in context of a Sirlin-esque definition of competitive gaming. Regardless, I am complacent with the current stage-list.
9. If you're meaning fair in terms of an objective moral truth, then I think it is unreasonable to believe that a rule-set (within the context of smash) is fair unless it's limited down to one character. Having multiple characters would lead to producing a rule-set which favors X character(s) over Y character(s), thus not being fair. I believe it would be more appropriate to create a rule-set which favors rich, competitive play rather than egalitarianism.
10. I don't think either is more important than the other. If you were asked "which is more important to you: The body or The mind?" what would you reply with? Both are fundamentally important, which do you choose? In light of this, I would introduce the value criterion of "winning." I value winning over anything else as it is the only thing that matters in a competitive environment. Tech Skill is useless without strategy, strategy will only get you so far without tech skill.
11. Both are fundamentally important. In response to this and the previous question, I should add that I don't necessarily like binaries. Things aren't always so black and white, thus it's irrational to make an educated argument in terms of binaries. I like to believe there is an interacting third option in which all three (or more) options counterbalance each other in decision making.
12. I believe it's up to the community to dictate that in terms of willing/openness to fresh faces. Competition will last so long as there are willing competitors to compete, so it's up to the upper-level players in the community to foster growth to the future generation of smashers and inspire them to keep the torch running.
13. As for any community, a reach in some form of advertisement to a target audience (for example: college students) would inevitably lead expansion. I'm not sure how the smash community is different than other communities aside from division in interests.
14. I think making the MBR a public view forum where only MBR members can post would stimulate the community. Anyone who has taken a western civ class would understand the power and influence of an idea.
15. I am against dogmatic thinking / ignorance, a promoter of intelligent discussion and an empty cup willing to accept ideology of others. In this way, I would benefit the MBR in terms of general efficiency toward resolution.
OPTIONAL
3. Yes, if you couldn't tell from the rest of my app
I believe Sirlin builds a strong case for a reasonable approach to a competitive mindset.

1. Q. How long have you been playing competitive melee?
A. For about 4 years now.
2. Q. How often do you attend tournaments? How familiar are you with your local scene? Your regional scene? The national/international scene?
A. I attend every melee tournament I can. I've been to hundreds of events and a number of national events, a number which I have also won.
3. Q. How would you classify yourself as a player relative to the current metagame? (beginner, average, high level, pro, etc.)
A. I would classify myself as a top professional.
4. Q. Do you think the other individuals in your region would support you being a member of the MBR? Why?
A. Yes, because I am one of the most active hosts and players in the community, and I always strive my best to give any input I can on topics.
5. Q. Do you consider yourself a discussion leader? Why?
A. Yes. I am willing to take heat for a certain debacle (such as a tier list) and I am well suited to mediate arguments and discussions.
6. Q. Are you an active Tournament Organizer? If Yes, what are some recent tournaments you have hosted? If No, what are some ways you feel you contribute to your local scene despite not being a TO?
A. Yes, I host the WATO series (there has been about 25 WATOs so far) and I also hosted the Smash portion of CEO2010 and hosting the Smash portion of the landmark event, CEO2011. I help to host all of the locals and assist in any nationals I can, such as being Plank's assistant during Pound 4 and 5.
7. Q. Do you feel that the current tier list is accurate? Why?
A. No, Jigglypuff is not the third best character in the game. Considering my actions are mainly what propelled her to that level, I feel that such a jurisdiction is biased.
8. Q. Do you feel that the current MBR recommended stage list is fair? Why?
A. The less counter-picks, the better...for the most part, the stages are fair. I'm very glad PS is now a CP, but I believe that Rainbow Cruise should be banned.
9. Q. Do you feel that the current MBR recommended rule set is fair? Why?
A. Yes. It always has been fair, and it is the standard of play.
10. Q. What is more important to you: Tech Skill or Strategy? Why?
A. Strategy. It allows you to know your opponent and win your matches without depending on physical input (something I know much about!)
11. Q. What is more important to you: Maximizing Punishments (Combos) or Initiating Punishments (First Hits)? Why?
A. Maximizing punishments. Initiation requires action, whereas maximization involves reaction. Players are more often relaxed and less nervous when it comes to reaction. Punishes are guaranteed when a players messes up.
12. Q. Does SSBM have a limited lifespan as a competitive community due to its age or any other factor? Why or why not?
A. I believe that our lifespan could be limited compared to other communities, mainly for the reason that we are no longer sponsored but also because our community is based entirely off of events that are in person.
13. Q. What do you think could be done to expand our community?
A. Keep hosting tournaments, and hopefully bring back some sponsorship. We should also integrate our digital outlets more efficiently; the live stream of EVO Events for Street Figher 4 and others are almost unparalleled.
14. Q. What do you think the MBR could do to stimulate the community?
A. The MBR should continue to create tier lists and promote national events, as well as comment on heated discussions and provide input on how to resolve them.
15. Q. How do you think the MBR would benefit from your input?
A. It would gain the knowledge and input of a current World Professional, and the issue of Jigglypuff would be less controversial with my opinions. I would also intend to be a regional leader of the ATL South.
A. For about 4 years now.
2. Q. How often do you attend tournaments? How familiar are you with your local scene? Your regional scene? The national/international scene?

whoa ^ time stop with a drawback (pretty big one) on a LAND?! I mean, it's a bad timestop...but still?
At first glance, there doesn't seem to be a way to abuse it to me (unless there's a way to put eon counters on ****).
meh, who cares, MTG is dead to me.

I heard M2K thought puff was pretty good
Edit: Can't say I agree on top 3 though.

Jiggs is not the third best character in singles, but in my opinion she's the second best character in teams. Pikachu is definitely up there for teams too.

Twice.I did not agree with a lot of the MW team decisions at both FC6 and FCD, but I couldn't exactly put myself in charge.I thought we should've beaten West Coast in both years, especially since they weren't as strong of a team because they were missing key players...and I think we lost to South once, too. Ugh.
Crew captains are important.
Only Peach players should captain crew battles, because *****es get **** done.

So where's the punchline, Cactuar?
All you've done with this fake backroom thing is kill Melee, and all progressive discussion of it. I thought it was only the public boards that had decayed to total trolling.
