OUTDATED POWER RANKINGS (SPRING SEASON):
​

After a very, very long time of trying to orchestrate the revival of Minnesota's power rankings, I'm proud to present a (semi-)refined product!

For those of you that disagree with these rankings: work harder! Especially for those still amongst the newcomers to our scene, I urge you to push yourself to start taking stocks, then games, then sets from these names. With enough hard work, becoming number one is very possible.

Here's a link to the Google Doc used as the primary construction tool for this PR.

Oh, we threw in a Legend of Zelda boss theme. People got to choose their boss, so some of them make no sense (Niko =/= boss material). We also still have a Kirby on our PR. He uses an Action Replay in tournament somehow, I swear.

Let me know if I made any errors in the graphic.

Just curious, why 14? Seems like an arbitrary number for a PR list.

 

[Sin242]

cause they didn't wana put me on it QQ

^We wanted to rank as many players as we could accurately list, and 14 just happened to be that number. 15 was too far from 14 and not well-earned.

The first half of this statement does not follow the same logic as the second lol

You're right that there's a big dropoff but it still seems a bit silly to me not to assign somebody gatekeeper status and go with 15 as originally stated. Although I suppose choosing 15 as the cutoff is equally arbitrary. People just like multiples of 5 I guess. Did you get a clear 15th in voting or did you just cut off voting above 15th to begin with? If voting did happen, should give 15th to whoever got it or have tied contenders play for the spot or something imo. It's encouraging to people sub-14 to see 15th as somebody they can potentially beat; I never liked PRs with only 10 people because they seem way far out of reach to lower folks.

Or it should be Top 10 even despite that just for the sake of having a number that makes sense. What's gonna happen if somebody on the list starts losing consistently to everybody else on the list, is the PR gonna shrink to 13 spots? There needs to be a firm number cutoff rather than a subjective one based on approximate skill gaps at the time of the PR-making.

All I'm sayin' is I expect a 15th spot to magically appear if somebody lower ****s somebody higher up this Saturday hue hue hue

Damn, was super close to taking that set vs Slayer before he went on and stomped Tyser and JBM.

When's the Minnesota MW circuit event gonna be?
