If a newbie player needs a guide on questions to ask regarding a MU, I'll give a template:
The point of the MU chart isn't to teach someone how to play a MU. The point is to facilitate discussion and help players narrow down exactly where they need to go/what they need to know in order to learn the MU on their own.
I've been active on the boards since Aug 08' (older accounts I dropped), and even then certain characters boards lacked the sort of go to sources. I recall a number of match-up efforts throughout the years and they always, always seemed to dissolve into trying to put labels and number on a match-up over the really important stuff (how to play the match-up). And again, I never knew who was actually saying something useful or not. To be honest, character board organization is unpredictable and I bet it is too in the BBR, but it seems more reliable given the resource of better players.
Yes, and it wouldn't it be such a great boon to already have a nice template provided for you without having the dozens of so newbie players to keep asking the same person or couple of people the same thing?
It wouldn't. In terms of networking, it's a lot more powerful for a player to ask another player to get personal feedback based on the specialization you're asking for, especially considering the emotional investment a player will make in trying to help another player.
I'm considering it. Issue is people potentially getting flamed over disagreements, and I'm sure most panelists are more than ready to put this project behind them
I don't think doing such a thing was brought up at the start either, so some people might want their posts removed. We'll see.
This is soooo ignorant though. Who's to say I don't care? How would you know? What if I did apply for the panel? What if I spend countless painful hours learning about the game so I can try to be the best I can be? What then? Do all my hours go to waste? Am I discarded as trash because the next person put in a few more hours by the virtue of the fact that they started competitive smash a year or two before I did? And what if I have put effort into MUs, the ones I got rebuked for, the ones where my opinion was gladly taken in?
Isn't Kirin retired? Was that like friendlies 3 years ago? When was Link the 2nd worst character? When did Link players say ICs vs Link is even?
Scabe's the best Australian Link. Best current Links that come to mind are Scizor and X but that's based off assumptions that several Links like Deva, Kirinblaze and Legan retired or use other characters currently. Mr.R was a great Link. ALSM is up there. TBH I don't know what happened to a lot of Link players.
They're not gonna do this cause they don't want the public to see how fraudulent it is that some changes happened after there was no argument. Luckily I have screenshots to try and get stuff switched back when the time comes.
Which? One of the people who hasn't played it, one who posted once the entire project, one of the people who got in a debate about Toon Link's Zair or Marth's Fair, one who thought it was as bad as Link vs Falco...
If everyone in the BBR and the panelists could see it, it's hardly private - what could someone have said that they are happy to reveal to what is, essentially, just a smaller sample size of the population that isn't allowed to see it?
Take the names out if you're THAT concerned about people getting hanged for their unfounded, idiotic opinions, but it's pretty obvious by a lot of the discussion in the BBR that it's supersaturated and a lot of people just shouldn't be there.
matchups. As someone who has played the same character for 5 years and learned a lot overtime, it isn't hard for me to describe each of 's matchups in details. I could see how people perceive him from the low level to high level spectrum. Most of the ways I've characterized 's matchups have not been just from my gameplay, but also many others. In fact, the only changes I would make to the current chart would be to -1 and to +3. This change I would make is based on experience and observations. as +2 loool. Given Kain's results alone the matchup would be even. I also have a super positive record on DeLux and have beaten Lain's/Hylian's . My only losses to have been to Nakat who generally wins from timing me out by not approaching loool. Our matches are always super close. Don't see how that could scale the match to an outright counter when I've barely lost each time. experience is from Pane -.-...
... wins +2, but neither results/theory back up their claims. Results and theory indicate the matchup as even more then anything, but I think it's -1 because it's like vs at low percents. should platform camp till above like 20-30% where Dthrow won't auto cg into itself (Tho the Dthrow cg doesn't start till around 10% cause it's weird) and lead to death (Same problem has vs because of cg to spike). and is based on priority and out-thinking one another at different ranges. spaces around 's stuff and wins everywhere except close up.
It's not as simple as making a single code for the forum so people can't see names in one specific sub-forum. That and it's probably not possible.
