MD/VA Power Rankings: Updated 8/14/12

[Deez.]

Anyone ever hear of Golden Axe? on Sega Gen. or this one game when this guy turned into a beast..forget name. they always said "Power Up"

 

[GimR]

altered beast

 

[TheTantalus]

Actually, the gray cart of the original zelda is more rare than the gold cart. Gold is Probably worth about 9 bucks or so.

 

[Seagull Joe]

How about the transformers 2D fighter game for the N64. I have that. Don't remember the name of it though.

 

[M@v]

Google the game or look it up on Ebay if you want to find out values of games

Thats how I found out MvC2 for ps2 can go for over 100 bucks.

 

[TheTantalus]

worth about 19 bucks.

 

[Pyronic_Star]

One of my biggest problems is adaptation. Logic notices my adaptability best. I think through playing him I've learned how to adapt better.

Xanadu tonight?

Edit: I feel like a textbook sometimes. I know my matchups with vs every character, but I don't always perform to what I know. I also need to see the matchup from the otherside. My adaptability also varies by character matchup. The more unfamiliar I am, the less chance of me adapting and higher chance of me autopiloting.

start playing the player opposed to the character, problem solved. if you play off someone's habits you adapt by default

That's actually genius. I'll try to start doing that. I always play the character, but not the player. I think that's the reason I couldn't excel to the next plateau. Though, it doesn't matter vs most people. Only those who play off reads (Which most people don't).

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

Yo, boutta go in tomorrow md/va? Logic/Lie im lookin at yall to take out the cocky rat climbers and black inui. Chu/boss you do your thing tooi guess

 

[Yink]

Talk to Yink. She knows tons of sites for vintage/rare games.

Obviously namesearched, lol. But yeah, my dad was a collector for years, so I know quite a few places where you can get games for steals. Just send people to me and I can try to find whatever I can.

I got my boyfriend a copy of Megaman Legends for less than 20 bucks in great condition about a week ago.

 

[TheTantalus]

Well master yink, I'm trying to nab copies of Earthbound, Castlevania Dracula X, and Kirby Super Star SNES. Also trying to get megaman 1, 5, and 6. Any tips? Ebay rates are pretty high for those.

 

[KageMurphy]

So, you guys wanna end the season with Boss tourny that is next month?

 

[NO-IDea]

I'll hit up the next MD tournament if someone good and not campy teams with me.

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

Not campy at all

 

[KageMurphy]

I'll hit up the next MD tournament if someone good and not campy teams with me.

The one in VA is the next one, bout an hour out, get PF, you driving

Not campy at all

-dead-

 

[Yink]

Well master yink, I'm trying to nab copies of Earthbound, Castlevania Dracula X, and Kirby Super Star SNES. Also trying to get megaman 1, 5, and 6. Any tips? Ebay rates are pretty high for those.

Yep. I wrote down all of those games and I'm going to check around here first (the game stores in my area are extremely reasonable). I know I can get you EarthBound for like 60 (typically goes for 80+) because they have one in stock here and no one will buy it, lol.

I think they have a copy of Dracula X, but I think the condition is questionable. As for the rest, let me take a look! I'll get back to you in a few days.~

EDIT: As for tips, go local as often as possible...typically it's a lot cheaper. You can always check playasia for some stuff (they used to sell retro, I dunno if they do anymore). The sites I use are very local but they typically have some hard-to-find games. Like this -> http://www.gamesngoonline.com/

 

[Seagull Joe]

Only tourney I been at this season was Apex, which I made it out of pools. Probably won't make it to Boss's tourney. Bye bye PR status.

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

And then seagullman got replaced by jrugs

 

[TheTantalus]

Nope, because kenny beat jrugs, so kenny for prs

 

[TheTantalus]

Also yink the local store is selling earthbound for about 200 (it has gone up in value a lot this year for some reason.) but that site you linked too either is really high or really low, its weird.

 

[Yink]

1. I feel bad for clogging up this thread

2. It's hit or miss on that site, but the ones that seem "too low" go for right away. Even so, it's still a steal in some cases. Your local store selling EB for 200 is FREAKING ridiculous and I'd have to kick my own *** before buying it at that nasty price. Is it in the box or something?

 

[TheTantalus]

Nope. Average ebay bids are going for 160 right now. This time last year they were going for 80. Dunno what the difference is. But if you can find it for 60 I'd gladly paypal you that and the shipping costs.

 

[TheTantalus]

Also this thread is mostly inactive. So conversation of any kind is good.

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

Discussion for PRs? Gonna put this Pit on right?

 

[GimR]

I clearly deserve PR for losing to Tant and then forfeiting out of the tournament

 

[Inferno3044]

I wish I still had my MvC2 copy for PS2, but my younger brother is greedy/stupid and sold it to gamestop a while ago. I was so mad at him. Jw, is Pokemon Stadium 2 worth anything? That game is real fun and very few people I know have it.

 

[TheTantalus]

It's about 15-20 bucks inferno.

 

[GimR]

I have the original pit, metroid, and battle field 1942 and some other stuff. I bought them all a year ago at a thrift store for $5 total

 

[TheTantalus]

Most of those are real cheap, but $5 is a good deal.

 

[Seagull Joe]

Already got some.

 

[@TKbreezy]

I'll hit up the next MD tournament if someone good and not campy teams with me.

I'm not campy....but I'm not good either

besides I play falco and should be campy but THE THIRST is too strong.

 

[GimR]

It's hard not to be thirsty with falco, he's just go too many swagged out setups

 

[Kaffei]

Discussion for PRs? Gonna put this Pit on right?

Ya U shud be up there
You put in a lot of effort

 

[Coney]

top 5 or top 10

that is the question~

 

[KageMurphy]

Gonna go ahead and say top 8 or top 10, Xanadu had a good amount of people so if the event Boss is having can follow that then I'd say its worth it to move away from only top 5.

 

[Seagull Joe]

I think my wins from Apex will be enough to keep me on the PR. Guess we shall see.

 

[ChuDat]

top 5 or top 10

that is the question~

Top 10!

Chudat - beat ps, beat coney, beat lie, best doubles player
Ps - All around good, consistent (inconsistent?), travels
Lie - good at this game
Neo - beat ps, and dabuz, and almost beat vinnie.
Boss - best doubles partner, smart, beat m2k and inui in teams.
Coney - Obviously good
Luckay - 7th at ohio, beat player-1
Omni - Attended Lie's tournament this season, placed 2nd.
Darkflamex - Up and coming ice climber player, motivated, beat seagull in a mm
Junebug - left over, went to the last xanadu before the aposl birthday xanadu, placed 7th

More left overs to consider
Seagull, Deez, Sin, DA1OS, IOTA, Speed, Pink Fresh.

Deez - overall good
Sin - technical, fast, he's a MK
DA1OS - I heard he did work at xanadu
IOTA - Took coney to game 3?, took a match off of me in tournament this season
Pink Fresh - Active this season, went to Lies tournament
Speed - Went to the xanadu before aposls birthday xanadu
Seagull - Who did you beat at Apex?

Thoughts
There should be more emphasis on player skill rather than player attendance. Power rankings look kinda silly if Coney went to 2 tournaments and placed third while Noid went to 5 tournaments and placed 7th, placing Noid above Coney. Power rankings shouldn't be about attendance, BUT IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. (It's like the panel is desperate to be on the power rankings, so they put heavy emphasis on attendance as their argument)

Players like NEO, Junebug, and Pink fresh will have to be dropped from the power rankings within the next two power rankings. These guys haven't quit, they still come to tournaments periodically. For example, the only real people that could be completely thrown out of the power rankings would be chillin and Azen. Omni is close to quitting, but may come back. Pink fresh hasn't been seen in a while, but may come back. Take over didn't attend anything, but may come back (I saw him post, and heard he entered a tournament as wario, but I couldn't find it).

Keep ALL of that in mind...

Rankings based on skill (small emphasis on attendance)
1. Chudat
2. P~S
3. Coney
4. Lie
5. Omni
6. NEO
7. Boss
8. Seagull
9. Luckay
10. Junebug (notice he's 10th because he hasn't attended tournaments).

Rankings based on attendance (small emphasis on skill, current power rankings)
1. P~S
2. Lie
3. Seagull
4. NOID
5. Coney
6. EE
7.


mehh I gotta go, couldn't get something accurate together for rankings based on attendance to demonstrate my point. I'll probably finish later, but I hope you all get the idea.

My rankings based on skill looks like a good team to crew battle with haha

 

[Omni]

It's really good to have you back in the scene, Chu.

 

[Yink]

Came to reply to Tant, saw title, forgot what I was gonna say.

 

[Omni]

Lol. Not sure how that escaped my eyes.

I replaced it with your response, Yink.
