MBR Application Process is Closed

[SleepyK]

No. We've been a little harsh when choosing the first members, and it doesn't mean people can't try again. When someone will post an application, we'll take a look at it and accept the guy if we accept his application.

Our aim is to gather good people who can make useful contributions to the MBR projects. As long as someone looks like he's good, we'll accept him, regardless of the number of members.

Not for the MBR dinner, though. You better be cool if you want to attend this one.

does that mean that if you've applied and haven't been accepted, you've already been rejected?

 

[MacD]

it might very by region, since it was up to the region leaders to pick whoever they wanted from the apps

 

[SleepyK]

who were designated the regional leaders?

 

[Pink Reaper]

It was posted a while back by cactuar. I think for South, including Atl South it's Dr Peepee and DoH. Possibly one more.

 

[Lovage]

i got the pm yesterday or w/e

when's the room opening up?

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

I wasn't given a date but i assume a few more month's wait




Am i troll enough this time around mow?

 

[Slhoka]

You have received/will receive a PM soon if we accepted your application. It's a matter of days til the room opens =)

 

[SleepyK]

posted in this thread or another one? sorry, sometimes i don't check this thread all the time because i don't have too much to contribute when people are discussing other applications.

 

[Slhoka]

Basically :
If you are accepted : you already received a PM, or you will very soon.
If your application is denied, then you will probably see it in the second post of this thread. I say probably because we haven't finished discussing whether applicants should receive positive/negative feedback publicly or not.
If your application is pending, you will post likely see it in the second post of this thread as well. But right now, all the applications sent so far have been reviewed, safe for hbox's.

Right know, about 50% of the applicants have been accepted (icluding leaders and regional leaders)

 

[KirbyKaze]

The chosen one has spoken!!

O chosen one - where shall we dine for the dinner party?

I cannot reveal the location of the MBR feast here : some commoners might try to rejoign us.
Also, thou art not even one of the purple names yet.

Oh wow, I like progress

 

[Strong Badam]

I had better not receive a denied PM on my birthday :V

Happy birthday!!! <3

I hope at least for the people who don't get in, they get some kind of reasoning or something to improve upon for a better chance in the future. =D

Good luck everybody.

If someone sent a fairly good application, then yeah, the regional leaders should send them a PM saying they were still interesting and could be accepted if they try again.

Don't put so much importance on the deliberation. You can always improve, and there weren't many applications which were actually bad. And don't forget we were quite picky for this first selection, so if you don't get in, it doesn't mean you are utter crap (and anyway it wouldn't mean that even if we set the bar lower )

Oh and happy birthday Strong Bad

[JPOBS]

so if ur denied you'll be told right?

or will you be left to rot by the waste side forever alone?

 

[t3h Icy]

*a single tear*

I got my PM and it pretty much went like this..

"Try harder."


I shall.

 

[Pink Reaper]

It's ok Rhan, i got the same "No young link players" PM as well......Though for the life of me i cant figure out why. I think it was supposed to go to Laijin

 

[rhan]

It's okay. Cuz I kinda stopped playing this game anyway. lmaooooo

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

When is smashboards getting a SC2BR?

 

[joeplicate]

duuuuude


='(

i think that was the saddest i've ever been from watching a TV show

 

[CloneHat]

Should've made my app more PM-worthy, now that I think about it.

 

[Cactuar]

I was really happy when they revisited the dog in a later episode.

 

[pockyD]

if it takes forever...

 

[KirbyKaze]

Young Link isn't a real character anyway he's just a secondary

 

[rhan]

None of these characters are real..

 

[KirbyKaze]

It's not incorrect though. Characters like GNW, YL, etc actually stay in stun long enough for grab to be guaranteed.

Foxes dair vs low tiers is similar to how Falco's dair works on grounded characters. They do that awkward falling animation whilst still grounded, but not being forced into hard knockdown.

Wow can't believe I missed this.

Look, dude, if you're going to say (in the Falco boards) that SDI ***** like every single combo that Falco can ever do and he can't get legit links past 30% and then say that Fox's Dair > grab is inescapable when Fox's Dair is inherently worse for combos as a result of its mechanics and how SDI totally ruins it then I dunno.

Like, really?

 

[t3h Icy]

He's suffered too many combo-related head injuries.

 

[The Upholder]

But he used the word "whilst". That should count for something.

Not going to lie I giggled quite a few times through that application but be nice bro haha.

I will lay down the truth whether people like or not. If truth hurts for anyone, then too bad... There's no point in putting filters just to make it seem not so bad. I would rather be clear and to the point. Realizing we are stupid for a certain action is better than to try to defend mediocrity... because you can always get better no matter the circumstance... you just have to be willing to surrender. To me it was always like this, so i don't really know anything else.. my views are harsh yes... but that's the way of the warrior.

 

[Banks]

That is clearly a fake account.
