NYC/LI Power Ranking - New Rankings! Good stuff at Poly guys!

[Punishment Divine]

is wes' tourney going to count for this cuz ima do like a ****load of MM's lmao.


and nice avy alex lulz

that's next sunday right? Yeah i guess we can end the rankings on that day cause there are two tournies that weekend i think so gives players plenty of opportunity to get some last good wins in

 

[Jtails]

lol i would go to tournies for just mm's but no one ever wants to!

penta mblaze lets go!

 

[PentaSalia]

MM me 5 dollars jtails!! D:<

edit: alright PD,sounds good

 

[Jtails]

sounds good penta!!

 

[Vinnie]

If we end this season early (this weekend), we can end the next season at the same time that NJ ends their next season, thus synching the two states, season-wise .

Let's do that.

 

[PepsiMista]

im liking this nyc supporting each other i really do.

This is Rare.

 

[Punishment Divine]

Yeah that is a good idea. Also Vinnie and I are talking right now, just discussing it a little bit and I have a pretty good idea what I want it to look like. I really think we should have a Tier List PR, because it better reflects skill than having a number imo

I'll talk with panel people soon enough

 

[Punishment Divine]

OK so i just talked to Vinnie and i decided instead of ending it next week as i said earlier, we're gonna end it after this weekend so we're exact with NJ and that way next week ppl can start the season fresh with 2 tournies in one weekend

 

[ShippoFoxFire]

To be honest, every region should sync up the rankings with each other, I don't like seeing completely outdated material with new material and having to compare the both of them.

Such as 3 month intervals 4 times a year. (Sept - Nov, Dec - Feb, Mar-May, Jun-Aug)

 

[hippiedude92]

stop it shippo it burns my eyes

also what tourney is this weekend

 

[Dabuz]

i say the PR should have some sort of pokemon theme, either trainers, gym leaders, or legendary Pokemon :3

(dabuz hopes for #2 on PR)

Been done already

people should throw suggestions at me for this PR thing

also Sammy you're pretty solidly 2nd right now, so unless someone pulls ahead in an amazing way saturday you can rest your head knowing that all that pikmin throwing, pivot grabbing, and usmashing got you places, but brood woulda whistled it

 

[da K.I.D.]

question, why are PRs changed so infrequently.

I would think that you would want to have your PR be as accurate as possible.

For example:
After this next update lets say dabuz is number 2, and vinnie is number 7. But within the 1st month after the update, vinnie just breaks a major wall in his game, and just starts winning tourneys left and right, and everyone else in the region just gets scarily good at the olimar matchup. If only a few weeks later its firmly established that the only person better than vinnie in the region is anti, and that dabuz has fallen off of his game, why should it take 3 months to state what everyone knows and what is readily understood, one month in?

I never really understood that. Thats part of why up here in the rest of the state, I try to update my PR as often as possible, so that its always as accurate as possible.

 

[Dabuz]

pretty much everyone good in the region knows the oli MU from me, or andyg or blackwaltz when they played (and maybe l0g!c)

and brood wouldn't whistle 5 mk upairs in a row or waaaaay to many nados...just sayin :3


but, to seriously respond, its just hard to do that, when you update a PR, you have to take into account every player, every tourney each player has gone to, and the players at those tournies, thats why updating it monthly or so isn't done, too much time, besides, stuff like that doesn't instantly happen, it happens over time (the only exception is when new players appear)

um...do you know what a power rankings is?

it shows who had the best accomplishments last season, 3 months ago.

when the rankings come out, a new fresh season is started. yeah sometimes they say "our current number 2 rank beat your 5th ranked" doesnt mean jack **** tbh.

might as well be a poster in your room.

people dont even look at the PR to see whos the best right now or something. people need to stop being lazy and check results for the region/nation. most do it now anyway. anyone with a brain can unbiasedly tell whos doing amazing, whos doing well, and whos not doing so good. this is why rankings arent a big deal as they were a year and a half ago.

 

[da K.I.D.]

Im sorry, youll have to forgive me for jumping to conclusions.

I just assumed that a Power Ranking, is a ranking, of the current power (playing ability/skill) of the players in the area. I didnt realise that it was was a tallied win-loss ratio of tournament matches against the good people in an area from 3 months ago.

also, personally, I DO check many different regional PRs to see who (as I assumed was the point of a PR) is playing the best in any given region at any point in time

 

[TheManaLord]

san would beat u guys anyways

 

[ANTi_]

You upstate NY dudes are annoying.

Go back to your thread plz

Its ok. i thought like that too but then it hit me, why are some people getting praise for being on rankings if they do nothing? me for instance, i was on 3rd for a while but was so inactive and people would still consider me like top 5 mks over other people like shadow who keep doing well and better than me. ever since that i just look over results other than rankings.

Rankings ill look at to see who dominated between for example May-July.

san would beat u guys anyways

San is awesome.

 

[B0NK]

lol they never are, yo gotta search for the good people. are you in othmer or clark? cause theres a player southpaw in othermer you guys can start playing together, since im not there yet

othmer, if you tell me what floor or his real name I would completely be up for that xD (in a pm of course)

 

[BleachigoZX]

maybe if i get my marth good by then, right now it's rusty. Or if I'm feeling THAT on with Wario/ICs that day

But I suck. Do it ASAP before I get good again. I just got back from a 2 month trip in South America and I was pretty inactive before that.

 

[hippiedude92]

Is there any tourneys this weekend????????????

[Alex Strife]

Everyone we should be talking about rankings not this bs.

Stop it or i'll get a Mod in here.

Alex, have you seen the NJ PR thread? lol

Honestly, I don't mind if they use it as a social thread, I think it's fun that way. Just so long as we keep it strictly business when it comes time to actually do rankings.

Speaking of which, Vinnie just beat Ally and Atomsk today. Now making the rankings are gonna be prettty hard lmao

 

[Inui]

I wish Ally would go Falco on me too.

 

[ksizl4life]

how do NY do their rankings for wins like vinnie on ally? do you consider the player and give the full win or did ally have to go snake or mk for it to count much?

 

[Inui]

Vinnie told me at the tournament after he beat Ally, when I asked the same question:

"it should count about as much as beating a good Falco like Keitaro or something"

 

[Vinnie]

If I got the full win then that's BS lol. I doubt it should change where I'm ranked much tbh, just count it as a really good Falco win or something, like Keitaro or some ****.

edit: ninja'd by the ******

 

[Inui]

I can't tell whether Keitaro is good or not, lol. I ***** him game one, but game two was super close.

Usually...it's like...the other way around since I get used to his weirdness, but this time he was a bit different.

congrads to Vinnie but this is not the NJ thread. We should start to act better than we are... I agree wit the social thread aspect I just would like a little less bickering.

As a player that is getting better, Vinnie and others, I want you to understand the responsibilities that are going to be coming as you get better. This is something I am seeing that we can better ourselves with and using our growing skill and notoriety to help others with their characters. If you guys are doing it already sweet but we should help our NY community grow and thats just one way to do it.

 

[Inui]

a good way to help the community and tournaments is to let those with credible and amazing tournament hosting skills help host tournaments instead of randoms

 

[Alex Strife]

lucas just say it dont be cryptic I am tired and I rather read it straight.
