MW Hall of Fame!?

[Tink]

i was just wondering if ppl thought we should make a hall of fame for our oldddd smash brothern? ppl like eddie, kishes, snex, aob all come to mind for the list.


just wondering if ppl would be into it 0_o?

 

[Juggleguy]

Tink, I think the word you're looking for is brethren, lol

I'll start off the nominations

1. Darkrain

 

[HoChiMinhTrail]

Edward J. Howells

 

[BigD!!!]

dope vidjo drephen eddie darkrain jiano

bigc for contributions sake

b ryan???

crashman?????

although darkrain is still active, so that means we should also include tink trail and cunning

i'd nominate damian as an outstanding member of the community

 

[Dart!]

I'll nominate zjiin and eddie howells!
happy birthday eddiedorf

 

[HoChiMinhTrail]

dope vidjo drephen eddie darkrain jiano

bigc for contributions sake

b ryan???

crashman?????

Jiano was cool and all, but I dont consider him a Midwest HOF. Same with Crashman and BRyan. That being said, all the names listed below and pretty much any cool Midwest smasher is a MIDWEST LEGEND.

HOF
Eddie
Kish Cubed
Vidjo
Dope
Darkrain (still active but moved out of the region)
Drephen

Future HOF
Tink (still active)
Kels (still active)

Honorable mentions:

Kish Squared
Kish Prime
Cunning
Trail
Jiano
JoeBushman
Sliq
BRyan
Eduardo
Matt R
Chexr
Mikey Lenetia

Future Honorable Mentions (for a list compiled at a later time):
Dart
Big D
Rat
Cosmo (Possible future HOF considering the rate/level of play in which he is currently performing.)

My list is based off of tournament success and consistency. I'm sure im missing a few people, but ill refine it as time goes on.

 

[BunBun]

How could you tools forget about 5150

 

[Big_R]

cherokee warriorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Mundungu]

DALegendarySauce!

And Sliq just for the crew battle.

 

[Juggleguy]

No love for old school MI?

Dope, Mikey Lenetia, Anther...

 

[HoChiMinhTrail]

No love for old school MI?

Dope, Mikey Lenetia, Anther...

I have dope in my HOF, ill add mikey to honorable mention. Anther never placed all that well so he doesn't make the cut for my list.

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

This is a fine idea. I actually bumped HugS's four year old "Melee Hall of Fame" topic like a week ago and people seem interested. I'm probably going to be spearheading that project.

However just like the NFL has a hall of fame, so do the individual teams. So if the 49ers have a HoF, some of the players might also be on the NFL HoF, but some might not. The ones that are not might not have had an impact on the entire NFL, but have played an important roll in the development of that particular team.

So yeah, regional HoFs would be pretty good if done the right way.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

Trail you've obviously made a serious mistake. I dont see Sveet on your list at all.

 

[BigD!!!]

yeah word, we forgot about 5150, cherokee warrior, barbecue university, and hank mccoy

 

[Strong Badam]

anther doesn't really count because he ditched a good game for a ****ty one
the guy is generally cool but that's just unforgivable.

 

[Scythe]

he still played melee as far as i knew

 

[Strong Badam]

Originally, yeah. Most smashers played a game other than Brawl up until 2008.
Since it wasn't out yet.

 

[HoChiMinhTrail]

Trail you've obviously made a serious mistake. I dont see Sveet on your list at all.

god, after i **** your fox with my ganon... ur gonna wanna quit this game.

 

[4% APR]

you guys are forgetting camper bob

 

[Moooose]

Originally, yeah. Most smashers played a game other than Brawl up until 2008.
Since it wasn't out yet.

He played melee up until he quit smash in general, or at least stopped going to tournaments. didnt he make it into brackets at pound 3, and was the only low tier to do so? anther for prez

 

[Strong Badam]

pound 3 was before brawl came out.
he was (probably still is) a well known pikachu main in Brawl so I don't know what you're talking about

 

[Moooose]

pound 3 was before brawl came out.
he was (probably still is) a well known pikachu main in Brawl so I don't know what you're talking about

yes....he played melee before brawl came out and after it. he hasnt gone to a tournament in at least like 6 months. the last tournament he went to, he entered melee as well. is there anything else i need to spell out or is that clear?

 

[Rob_Gambino]

Anther > Strong Bad in every way imaginable. I'd consider throwing camper bob up as well; it'd feel weird to have him on there without mathos though.

Kishes must be on there, because the FC tournaments were legendary.

 

[Tink]

ya....theres alot of ppl that def deserve to be on there....i think kishes and eddie are my forrr sures, and then alot of ppl would come after that def deserve it.

also, no old smasher can forget snex 0_0. also some nickB action. id say cheny, but hes still kinda playing.

edit: omg....i cant believe i forgot Mr Jblaze himself, marcus.....defff would be on there for me!

 

[BunBun]

Was it Snex that wore the Sex Offender shirt?

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Nobody was saying strong bad was better....

But I absolutely agree about the Kishes being on there.

I'd have to vote for

Darkrain, Vidjo, Drephen, Eddie, Luke, Kishes, Tink, Dope, AOB...can't think of any more right now.

EDIT: For smash I really think that active players should still be candidates. It's not like a sport where you are forced to retire at some point in time because you're not of a professional level anymore.

 

[Tink]

yes...that was snex andrew =D.

 

[Juggleguy]

anther doesn't really count because he ditched a good game for a ****ty one
the guy is generally cool but that's just unforgivable.

Why doesn't he count? Dope ditched Melee for Brawl, too, but that doesn't take away from his pre-2008 Melee credentials.

Anther got 25th out of 224 at Pound 3. The same tournament where people like Hax, Jman, G-reg, Teczero, Kage, and Tope didn't make brackets. Where people like Wife, Husband, Jiano, and Watty got dead last in their 3rd round pools.

 

[alcoady]

we all know Eddie's the man
he gets my vote
Original ****in Gangsters

 

[dmac]

does earthbowser count?

 

[Tink]

and luke 0_0.

 

[HoChiMinhTrail]

Why doesn't he count? Dope ditched Melee for Brawl, too, but that doesn't take away from his pre-2008 Melee credentials.

solid *** performance, but still not HOF worthy. The dude never did well on a consistent basis in the Midwest. I don't even have myself or cunning in the HOF so i mean... how the **** is anther gonna be in my list.

 

[FluxWolf]

theres a few names that come to mind that havent been mentioned yet, but they're from mn so who knows...

teflon -mutha***n- climbers
& superdoodlemangz

also wasn't tapion a pretty good old school mw?

 

[dmac]

could put matthos on there - "all dis ***** do is lazer" -wes

 

[HoChiMinhTrail]

I shall make a separate list for the most influential Midwest Legends. (Great TOs, innovators, etc.)

Eddie
AOB
Kish Squared
Kish Prime
Darkrain
CunningKitsune
BigC
Viperboy
Damian/Zjin
Mathos
JV

Honorable Mentions:

Vro
Juggleguy
Peef
BunBun
Sveet

 

[HoChiMinhTrail]

After much thought and revision this is my final HOF balet (including current players):

Darkrain
Eddie
Kish Cubed
Drephen
Dope
Vidjo
Tink
Kels

Honorable Mention:

Matt R
Trail
Cosmo (more recent phenomena, however his recent string of dominant performances warrants an honorable mention)
CunningKitsune
Jiano

The above list consistently placed well (regular top 5- top 10 appearances) in most of the major Midwest tourneys they attended during their respective peaks of performance. Emphasis placed on top 5 placings.

 

[BunBun]

Eduardo .

 

[Tink]

esposo to us here in chciago =D. we are soo cool like that.

 

[Hoefler]

There is no 51THRIFTY in any of these lists...

 

[AOB]

this is my final HOF ballet

Oh?



Also, Eduardo is an obvious choice.
