I was redirected here from a member for a post I had about looking for Smash players so I hope this is the place. I've never done a Smash tournement but I would love too. I live in Port Huron, Michigan. I don't have anyone to play/practice agaisnt because none of my friends will play this or even take the time to get better. If anyone is close to me I would love for you to come over and play Smash for a few hours so I can also better myself. And, if possible I would like to go to smash tournements and would be willing to pay gas for picking me up and droping me back off. Feel free to contact me, as I will be checking my messages on here regularly because I am desperate to play other people.

1. Mikey has attended the five tournaments that we required between April 2010 and now, plus he's attended three tournaments since March. He's also 3-0 vs Duck during that stretch, 2-0 vs myself, and 2-0 vs SCOTU. He's also beaten top OoS opponents like Axe, Overtriforce, Trail x4, Mogwai, and Aniolas.

2. I actually voted for SCOTU above me, but the other panelists didn't. It's a close call for sure. He's 4-3 vs me lifetime, but is 1-2 in our last three sets. He has a better record vs Lain and Kalamazhu, but he has very few recent OoS matches (not saying that can hurt his ranking, but it certainly can't help him).

3. It's true Shady has beaten Velynn six of the last nine times they've met in tourney, but the head-to-head record is only one factor we considered. Velynn is 7-0 vs Moose, 7-0 vs Duck (Shady is 3-6 vs Duck), and has a VERY strong OoS record including wins vs Teczero, Dart x2, Little England, Pakman, Taki x2, BigD x3, Vro x3, Eggm, Kels, BigR, Rat, and Watty. Shady's career OoS record can't compare at all. Like I said earlier, Shady's lack of traveling can't hurt his ranking, but it definitely can't help his ranking either. On the other hand, Velynn's career OoS performance helps him a lot.

4. Yeah, we didn't consider tournament placings. If you lose to Mango and M2K in winners and losers to end up getting last place, you aren't judged any lower than someone who lost to Mango and M2K to end up getting a higher placing just because of how the bracket worked out. We only looked at who you've beaten and who you've lost to, as well as career out-of-state performance.

5. 1der doesn't live in Michigan.

In the first reply post, I've put up the career head-to-head records and career OoS performance that we looked at for everyone considered for the power ranking. Josh, the main thing you're forgetting about is OoS performance. Traveling to another region and taking out their players is always very impressive and can earn someone a lot of credit for this ranking.

@ Dan: Shaeden requested not to be ranked because he's "never coming to another tourney again" =(

should be worded differently. It's not "OoS record" it's record vs "OoS players"
def a long *** drive for me :(

Yeah it's supposed to indicate overall performance vs OoS players, or players who aren't MI regulars right now. Like, even though Rat and Trail were in MI previously, since they're not currently part of the regular MI scene they're considered an OoS player for our purposes.

Dre put in some work last tourney... he beat Stratford (would be ranked or HM if he lived in MI more), Abu (HM), and HIV+ (beat SCOTU earlier in the tourney).

Definitely a solid performance but we gotta see more of that at another tourney!

I think that there needs to be at least several months to update the power rankings. Even if you pick a shorter interval, then you'd need to at least consider all the results from the last several months as well.

I agree that it shouldn't be updated after like every tourney... that would create pointless work. Plus there's two more tourneys coming up August 13th and the 27th. Might as well wait until you guys have more to take into account.

Good **** indeed to Dre yesterday though.

For the record, I'm in Bloomfield Hills, not West Bloomfield.

Hopefully this PR will be a good motivator for new guys and vets alike... and hopefully it won't cause too many salt levels to rise lol. Though salt can be a good motivator too.

It warms my heart to see Michigan melee thriving like it is. Good **** everyone!

Corrected the set count vs Velynn, lol

Rob's House 1 for when you played Duck? No results thread, so I kinda went by vague memory... correct me if I'm wrong and you guys didn't play
