Alright folks, the title says it all. JCeasers list is outdated and he no longer plays the game, so this is a fresh start for all of us. For now, I'm going to post the list as it was in the other thread. From this start is where our changes will come from. However, as I'm doing this from scratch I will be eliminating the tiers from the old list and just posting a list of all ROB mains. Then I'm going to go through tournament results and post what I feel to be the best looking starting list I can. Once this is done I'll be asking for help from other respected ROB mains and we'll make changes as we see fit.

So, here we go:

BO X7
buenob
ChiboSempai
CJTHeroofTime
Darth Waffles
Deadweight
DullRazer
Glyph
GwJumpman
Holy
HugS
Jamnt0ast
JG Wentworth
jjvirus
Karn??
Mankosuki
maXXXpower
Mr. E
Nacker??
NinjaLink
Oathmeal
Omegawhitemage
Overswarm
Stingers
Tantalus

FYI, everyone was in alphabetical order within the tiers in the old thread so you might want to put everyone in alphabetical order for now as well. The last one wasn't meant to be a top-down list like this one does.

Also, take me off the list. I no longer play Brawl either. I keep posting here because I feel my knowledge is valuable and I still like theory crafting. XP

Well I have a question. Do we post our own results making it easier on you? or are you going to go through for EVERYONE and do it yourself?

If you cans post results please please do. That will save me a ton of time! But I'm gunna comb through things anyway. I just gotta decide on the cutoff for this list since I have no intention of going all the way back to the game's release. So I'm thinking anything from January on will be a good amount of results for this list.

Good stuff.

Is this more or less "arbitrarily" decided based off of consistency of results, or is there going to be some sort of algorithm? Just curious

So for NL do we include results that include ROB or tournaments where he only used ROB. I'm unsure about which is easier/better.

Ok, I'll think about that for a while and try to figure something out.(in reference to NL)In the meantime, if someone knows anyone who is on this list that isn't active anymore please post. Likewise, if you know someone who isn't on the list that should be now also let me know so I can add them.

What do you guys think of this? This is how the Pika boards do it and it seems to work for them.
I really like how they have a system, but I don't think it's accurate at all since it's based just off acutal placements and doesn't take into account who you lost to and beat. You could just host your own tourney with a bunch of scrubs getting first and u would get a bunch of points.

That's also without mentioning how some people can get screwed over in brackets from seeding, etc.

It also doesn't take into account money matches, and rewards people who go to placed more often (good for me tho lol). Holy could go to like 3 or 5 tourneys, but I might have more points from the amount of things I've attended and I could be ranked higher which doesn't make sense.

jj you beat Lukky but lost to Noraa and Seagull? wtf??? How is that even possible?

Edit: Oh, MK banned, nevermind haha...
Yeah lol I got the same reaction from Tant XD

All I can guess is Noraa picked up on how I struggled vs Lukky's Olimar. Lukky used Diddy first game on FD, 2nd game he cp'd Oli on Yoshi's, 3rd game I cp'd frigate on Oli.

Now when I played Noraa, he used Olimar. 1st game was on Yoshi's I think, he won. I cp'd frigate and 2 stocked 2%, 3rd game was SV, he almost 2 stocked me =/

If it wasn't MK banned, Lukky woulda beat me no doubt lol

Ok I'm thinking of putting together a list of respected players from different states and regions. If I went through every states power ranking threads (some are on AiB but I think they should still count) i could put together a pretty comprehensive list of who from each area is respected. From that I could add some sort of variable to the calculation to account for tournament results based on where they are on the list. I think the only way to make it work would be to count the top x from all regions, that way I can apply this to everyone. So I'd have a top 15 from every region and then I'd analyze the results and apply the variable to your placing. But my math isn't terrific so I might need some help on this. Also the list would still be biased towards people who attend more tournaments. So I'm not sure how to eliminate that...

As for MM's...I have no idea at all how to add those to the list other than me being made aware of them and if they are against someone who is on a Power Rankings list I can add some form of bonus once again based on placement. But I'm not sure if either of these ideas are even good so tell me what you guys think.

Well, why not do it based off of consistency.

Break it down into "tiers" or whatever, and award points accordingly, weight them, and average. Hard to explain but maybe this example can help:

8-16 people tournament: tier 1
17-32 people: tier 2
33-64: tier 3

Divide the person's placement by the tier level of the tournament, and then take an average of the placements and provide a +/-2 for a range

So:

Person A;

3rd in tier 1 = 3
5th in tier 2 = 2.5
12th in tier 3 = 4
______________________
(10.5)/3=3.5; 2-6

Person B:
1st in tier 1= 1
8th in tier 3= 2.7
_________________________
3.7/3=1.2; 1-3


Or something similar. I dont know if it works out EXACTLY... but, it should make the # of tourneys less of a factor, decrease odd occurrences of placing high or low, and still give a pretty decent indication of placement.

IMO just go with the algorithm. It does reward for prolific placings but it rewards a LOT MORE for high placings. i.e. one 1st = 5 5ths

i personally think we should just get a panel of 3-5 ROB players to talk about it...because that makes a lot more sense.

all this algorithm and math **** is needlessly complicated and it's impossible to take everything into account the way the good old human brain can. seriously.

Algorithms blagh blagh who cares

I only get to a tournament once a month or so and don't travel more than a couple hours away. Luckily, I'm smack dab in the middle of the region's hotspots. Just need to take that next step, you know, but there's nobody local for me to practice with and I hardly play outside of tourneys. :( I'm quite good now! but no johns... need videos too as proof of my average skillz.

How many entrants were at Apex? I've heard 224 and 234 respectively. I'll be posting my results again pretty soon when I get unlazy.
the numbers they gave were innacurate, it was under 200. i dont know how many for sure tho

they left in all of the ppl that pre reg'd but didnt show up

even then it wont be 100% right since all those ppl that didnt show up r in the tio file. i would say 200 is a safe estimate.

still trying to think of a way to rank everyone. really a small panel is the only logical way, as long as we keep clear of favoritism and any bias, which im sure we can do.
theres too many loopholes to the algorithm

I agree, I'll likely do both just for the hell of it and to have more than one option. If we were to do a 4-6 man panel, who would we include? Keep in mind we need people from different regions.

I'm thinking (in no order):

Hugs
OS
Chibo
Holy
Myself
Ninjalink

That is of course if everyone wants to participate.

These are all great people to be on a panel, but if you wanna focus on differ regions as u said it doesn't make sense to have me, you, and NL all from the same region (albeit your quite a bit north of us). Not too much of a problem though, we could get another one or so from the same region as Hugs or OS. Also, are there any ROBs in the south anymore? lol

Southern ROBs that I'm aware of.

-Manko (Florida, but not very active)
-Ruse (Florida, but again, not very active and I don't think he'd want to anyway)
-Light (Texas ROB. I've seen him play a few times but I've never actually talked to him nor do I know what his activity is like on the forums)

Apparently we have some more in the main part of Florida but I suck at remembering things that I read on here that aren't directly related to the game so the names escape my mind.

Yeah, New England doesn't really play NY/NJ/PA a whole lot minus majors or ECRC events. Who else in the MW or WC even plays ROB anymore?
