Still bottom half. Although everyone in the crew seems to be adding and subtracting mains from their lineup so a revision of the "Low Tier Army" title may be in order.

ASSAULT Soldiers, step up and voice your opinons.

Also, after much consideration more Recruits will be added to the ranks. With Tak not really attending Brawl meats or Tourneys, I can't help but feel his heart lies with Melee. Which is fine, but we need 8 crew members to have two Four man teams prepared for Rocky Crew Battles.
Our lineup currently is:

War General Vermysaur
Admiral Ugly
Colonel Tanman
Lieutenant Drixon Sypher
Major EdgeGames (lol)
Captain T-Rex

2 positions available. We will be scouting for new recruits next tourney. Low tier is no longer a requirement, but it definitely will get our attention. If you think you're up for it, speak up. ASSAULT is more than just a crew, you've all seen the hat. I can make hats. That's effing gangsta.

Vermy out.

Hey check it out gaiz, I have time to be online! Go me!
X, we need to talk about next tournament and the game-plan, holla back.

If anyone is wondering, it's decided that pools will be groups of 6 and only the top half make it.

Peace.

Edit: Tak bring TV's for different games and don't let it interfere with the tourney. I still love you.
Double Edit: I can post the results of my meat another day if anyone is still interested...

See this is why i wanted y'all Soldiers to speak up. We are a unit and fight as a unit.

Requirements will remain that applicants are to have mains on the bottom half of the list. If you have secondaries or such as higher places, fine. But your main must be from the bottom half. Eg. Tanman is known to play GaW and DK but he mains Sonic.

Tak, if you wanna stay, that's ok, we're happy to have you on board. <3 Choose a "soldier" title and you're all good. Like....Sergeant Tak. ^_^

And BlazBlue? I'm there. Do want.

@Alfa: Bowser? You have my attention. Show me ya moves. Cap'n T-Rex underwent an initiation, and so if you wish we shall hold one for you too. Rules are: your main vs a 50-50 matchup of your choice. (someone in the crew must main/secondary them of course, if not a 60-40 in your favour is acceptable.) I believe Shiek, Fox and Luigi are considered neutral matchups. So Tanman, Drixon and Edge are your selectable opponents.

@Condog: Lol. It's ok, i'll wave at you from the top 3.

THE BOTTOM HALF WILL BREAK YOUR UPPER HAND.

Low Tier may be neglected, but they are not unloved ^_^

I believe Ike is also a 50-50 Matchup, Not sure If Edge considers him a secondary yet though. would have to ask him.

Now now. It's Alfa's choice. I wouldn't mind reigning down a hail of bullsh*tseed and sweet spot vinewhips on Bowser, but we keep it as a choice.

Neutral means no johns about disadvantage. =]

is bowser low tier? why? he's actually good if you're willing to play real gay with him (grab release combos on pretty much everyone, infinite sideB aerial, etc). i remember my snake struggling against accelerate's bowser in qld, and how he took off 8 stock in crews with him... watch out everyone :)

Yep, Bowser is at the top of D Tier. I'm guessing lack of representation wouldn't get him very high. But having a grab release to FSMASH on some characters is pretty b*tchin'.

Amazingly insightful post
^this, 1 million times this.
And are pools going to be seeded? I will honestly Rofl if one pool is Attila, Earl, Tibz, Pony, Toshi and Jei. Seriously. Also how many pools are there expected to be?
Aaaaaaand since I won't make it out of pools I fully expect everyone (yes everyone) to play at least one friendly with me =D. I want mah Barlws.
Edit: If Afro's right, I'm gonna cry. I'm like 21st on RANBATs I think.

Pick my Luigi, I only played him once really at DS' XD

Then again, Bowser is a big SHORYUKEN target, and struggles to get past the Hadoken.

exactly what i was thinking, conor lets spam our way to victory <3 and hope it works lmao... Ive improved my G&W and ROB people so watch out ;3
Stole my main and my potential secondary. I hate you so much right now. :mad:

@Everyone saying "What if all the good people are in the same pool?" and "Oh god the pools better be even" ... Stop talking. Jei and X, our beloved TO's are going to spread out the pools evenly, and they are going to put one person from the top 8 in each pool so that there are no more than 1 top 8er in each pool. Then the rest will be Jei and X spreading out people with kindness or something. Pools work people. Pools work.

Couldn't care less about Seeding. I see nothing Wrong With good old Random Placings.

If all the good people gets placed in one group because of a randomly generated pool, so be it, they have to duke it out like everyone else. To spread the "best" over seperate pools so they all stand a good chance at getting in the bracket could be seen as unfair to everyone else entering the tourney.

Your probably thinking, what if three of them are in a pool? Well thats why Random is good, just means you got unlucky, Fight your best like any other time.

My conclusion is, pools should not be stapled together based on who is the "best". They should be Random Just Like the Bracket.

DrixonSypher out. (lol, been playing too much transformers)

So your saying placements should be based on luck, rather than skill?
Not at all. Your placement is based on Your Skill, but who you fight to place where you do should be random.

But what Dekar said also plays into it, Have You Ever Tripped Right infront of someone using a powerful smash? cause I have... Twice!

Why should it be random? so that someone who is top 10 material gets knocked off straight away by fighting Tibs and then say Earl or Attila can beat you coz one of them got knocked into losers bracket (because they had to Vs each other is also stupid)

Why not make it completely not random, so its based on how good you are in a set of people (pools) which reflects who you get to fight in early brackets, which then reflects on your actual placement. Pools eliminates as much random as possible. Why not eliminate as much random as possible? There is no reason except to allow people who arent top players to still have a chance, in which case we should all just play friendlies or something IMO.

Doesn't matter whether it's random or not, People will still fight Tibz, Attlia and Earl. Splitting them up between brackets intentionally doesn't really mean much, Someone is still going to have to figh them, and they could still lose. Meaning some could still fight Attila and then Say Tibz in the First two Rounds.

Anyone can be top ten material, I've made it to the top ten, does that make me top ten material? I've only made it too the top ten once, and I've never Fought Tibz or Atilla in any Tournament. So because others have defeated me, does that mean they are top Ten material as well? then What about the people that have defeated them? this circles round back to the point of anyone can be top ten material, so to be put into Pools and A bracket Randomly is fair.

At the tournament you placed in im pretty sure we didnt have pools.
The whole point of pools is so we dont get put in a random bracket.
The pools i think are vaguely random but split apart with top 8 players, so that one pool isnt insanely hard to get out of and one pool is amazingly easy, that would be unfair. Random isnt fair.

Pools just eliminates scenarios that dont give some people a chance despite where they belong. Where we place in pools decides who we fight in brackets, and even then its to an extent random cause it could still be anyone you can't really set it up (this is hard to explain without being extremely long winded). So its to an extent still random, just not stupid random. Dont worry, it'll all be fine.

@ Vermy, we're using the thread for discussion! ON TOPIC DISCUSSION. so shush, k? =P

I can see what your saying, and I think we are on slightly different wavelengths. But i'm too tired now so i think i'll go to bed, lol.

And i'm not concerned at all, I will just be happy to play. I only wrote it to give my opinion on the matter.

Pools should be seeded, at least to a degree. It would work out better if the top 8 didnt have to play each other til the actual bracket imo

seed so then i dont have to send melbourne's top ranked player to loser's first round :p

seeding makes the tournament progressively more impressive, which should be important from a spectators point of view. no one wants to watch federer and nadal play straight away, but they wanna see them in the grand finals, where players of their caliber should be going head to head.

actually, siyro is pretty lucky not to have played me or tibs... i always seem to knock jei out... every single tournament...

It really depends on the purpose of our monthly STIGMA tournies. Are they meant to be competitive where the best players take out the best spots every week? Or are they supposed to be a social meet, where everyone plays to improve off each other? This is really the community's choice, I personally would like it to be competitive.
And I've never played Attila/Tibz/Earl/Pony/Jei/Dekar in brackets Lol.

Personally I would prefer a random bracket every tournament. Makes mine and X's job easier and Tibz is the only one who has won more than one tournament. So I like the randomness.
But I have had countless requests to seed these tournaments for the most accurate results.
Key word: accurate. This is for you guys, I'm trying to please the majority and all I'm getting now is mixed signals on what everyone wants.

Believe me, I can and will scrap pools if no one agrees (I know that sounds like I'm mad or something, I'm really not, I just cbf running pools) so pretty much just accept the way it will be run.
Help us help you ^_^
