, you hear that chudat, I'm coming for you.Why do we need an honorable mentions? You either make the list or you don't, people on the list are the only people that matter.

Just extend the list to top 15 if you're going to do Honorable mentions.

honorable mentions and extending the list to me just seems like the ceremonial nonsense you get at little league or something when everyone gets a trophy.
TedBoosley
Smash Ace
The whole point of rankings is to give people an idea of how good their opponents are, and where certain people stand in relation to others, so I don't see a problem with making it a little longer to give some people a better idea, especially in a state with as many smashers as Florida (15 would be the maximum acceptable amount on the list.) But beyond that, you're right about the honorable mentions and insanely long lists (20+) being nonsense comparable to little league trophies.

I don't think an honorable metion is too bad of an idea. I think honorable metions should be for people that aren't as consistant as those on the list, but have the potential to be.

well, other lists have 20+ peoples and nothing's wrong with their lists...peace

well i'd contend that there is something wrong... that their list is too long >_>
I find it especially appalling when i see states which are FAR less competitive than FL have 20+ lists.

10 is fine because the longer the list is, the more we have to wait for updates on it.

why is it too long? i dont see what is so wrong about having a top 20? what are we going to lose by adding another 10 people on the list?...peace

10 is good after 10 nobody cares, if your not on the list then start working yourself there, dont complaint just do it.

eh keep it at 10, the only reason for an honorable mentions section would be for people receiving votes that didnt make the list. but since youre not really voting....

I say make it a top 10 still.
It'll still look the same, but instead of having DF on the list out of pitty for CFL, it'll be Col Bol on the list out of sheer awesomness.

10 is good enough

As amazing as Col Bol is, I can't think of the last time he beat DF in a set. Just because you don't like DF because of the **** he posts doesn't mean he isn't an awesome Smasher.
Though, the fact that he hasn't been attending tournaments recently could be a reason to remove him, not because he doesn't deserve to be on the list.

word on the grape vine says DF retired anyway.

DF was good and did deserve that spot on the list, but as he said before he wanted off, and anyways he quit.

thats just an opinion. "after ten nobody cares". you cant just say that and now its fact. i care about other people besides top ten. there are so many other good smashers i would like to see where they rank. no one is complaining that there not on the list either, and i am definitely not even slightly considering EVER being on the list, im just not good enough and i never will be. and i dont want the list to expand so that one day i could be on it. like i said i am nowhere close to being on the list even if its top 20. but i hate how all the other smashers are neglected besides top ten. i dont like how a lot of you are just making posts like "keep it top ten" but with no solid reasoning or no reasoning at all besides "I WANT" it to be top ten....peace

Why make it a top 20? It takes longer to update, and no matter how long it is there will always be someone saying "Lets make the list longer". Besides, the top 10 is the only one that matters...

I was just suggesting expanding it to a tier 2 like GA has. We wouldn't have to rank in the tiers, so it wouldn't be so hard to update. We could also change to a voting system instead of this overall agreement we get ourselves to go with.
And we should at least have a legends section for bygone smashers.

Top 10 is fine. Final tournament placings show where people stand against others so top 10 is fine for me

1) " it takes longer to update"- that is such a minute problem to bring up when you're considering making this a serious list. it's like saying "why make ssbb better by adding some new characters and features when its going to take longer to make?" that example applies to any great game that took a longer time to make because they kept fine tuning it to make it better but the end result was godly * The Legend of Zelda :TP* i really believe this is an extremely inadequit (i spelled that wrong) reason to not make it top 20.
2) no matter how long it is there will always be someone saying "lets make the list longer"- so your saying you don't want to make it top 20 because your scared of someone saying "let's make it top 30!!!1!11!"??? we have to be responsible on how big we make it obviously. if you make it to top 30 it will be impossible because at that level the smashers are too close in skill to separate. top 20 still is small enough that we can solidly pick a top 20.
3) besides, the top 10 is the only one that matters" - yeah because; rock, col bol, skratch, the law, derf, fenrir, johnny, sighrax, exarch, many other great players just don't matter. who gives a **** about them, right? and again, the fact that no one cares is opinion.
this could definitely work and i like the idea that you agree with having more than 10 people on the list or atleast considering having more than 10 people.
this is only some what true and no where as detailed as having a top 20 list would be. and since a lot of the smashers from the different regions don't play as often as we'd like we don't truly know how they all rank against each other based on tourney brackets. also, brackets have too much randomness, and its too often to see players getting knocked out in early rounds because maybe that opponent is just a bad match up for them or something. going by tournament results alone is dumb because there are too many variables to take into account.
you make a really good point and i would have to say both. yeah its so that the smashers of florida can officially know how its own smashers are ranked against each other, but it's also so other people can see how we are ranked, because they might come here and would want to play some of our best. although the 2nd part doesn't have much supporting it considering the lack of OOS and the fact that these days a lot of the CFL tournies will have atleast 1-3 of the top smashers from other regions. So if an OOS comes to a tourney they will most likely see more than one of the top players there.
Basically , I still haven't seen a solid answer as to why we can't, or shouldn't have a top 20...peace
