Wow all the love I almost cried a little. Then I remembered that everybody got better than me and I need to practice. I wish that one match that I beat GOTM's fox with my shiek on FD was up. But magically it was corrupted.

AHH the corruption!

one of the vids on the front page (at the bottom of the first post) is one where you beat me. it was an awesome fight, we both played rly good

EDIT: i changed the rankings tourney details a lil. first i made the fixed the 2008 typo that wind pointed out, and i changed the time. since gotm cant show up for a lil bit and it might be a lil bit of a travel for ppl, it now starts at 2pm, not 11am. question for tos members, should we just do friendlies and a rankings tourney, or make a full blown training schedule to work on our game?

well we have to do the rankings tourney, but i say we do training first (since i might not be there yet, lawls), and then do the tourney at the end of the night. then people will go home.

this gives everyone a chance to warm up and perform their best for the actual tourney

Wow that just owned my post.

Whats the point of the rankings? We all know who's better than who. Even if we didn't know before after a few friendlies you could tell who has more skill. I think you could use that time to have a few serious matches and get some feedback.

Like a buddy system !!!!!

il make u a sig for now yayo, what kinda stuff do u want in it? im bored and i love making sigs. i should make a shop!

also yayo, take scars advice: friendlies dont mean much at all lol. many ppl dont play completely serious in friendlies, such as me sometimes when i play jiggz. i always go for more rests than normal cause i think theyr awesome and im working on my combos to them. i would never go for an off the stage rest in a real match lol.

we dont know how everyone is yet in the crew. none of the members have played everyone yet... i even havn't. we do the rankings tourney by round robin so everyone plays everyone to get the est skill rankings. also, everything is done in sets with counterpicks, which isnt done in friendlies.

the main reason we do the rankings tourney is to know who are the top 5 in our crew to know who we should use in crew battles, but im sure everyone loves the bit of bragging rights that comes out of it. lolz at mexi not being first n e more.

hmmmm i wonder how the rankings will change this time.... is chibo better than mexi now? find out on the next episode of Titans of Smash!

edit: o yea yayo if u wanna see some of my work on sigs, i made the sonic picture in my signature. i also made all the crew stuff, but that didnt rly required skill.

Friendlies are dead serious...ask toushi, off the stage rests are what the cool kids do in matches

Yes and no. It's quite possible to tell who is better from friendlies, i.e. any of the Philadelphia locals who have played Cactuar for the first time. What doesn't matter is the RESULT of a friendly.

In other words, saying "I beat person X in friendlies and therefore I am better" is an idiotic thing to say. But if I played everyone in ToS in like 5 or 10 friendlies I could probably put you in order of skill fairly accurately.


Also out of curiosity why do you guys have a ranking system?

Edit:: I just read Chibo's explaination for why there is a system. And I disagree because I'm a jerk and I can. Also because your answer was not "to encourage competition." Because that would have been acceptable.

I know, right? I totally have all the answers, and have such a hard time not sharing my wealth of Smash-specific knowledge and flawless rationale with the community. Roykid you should come over for a TSA PA XMas smashfest... when are you available?

The rankings essentially get you into the crew battles, an important part about crews. if you want to be in them you need to do well in the rankings tourney by.... encouraing compeition? w/e ur right scar lol, i like the way u worded it. another reason is to practice in a tournament style with sets and rankings on the line, but i forgot to right that but iv mentioned it before.

scar, w2be awesome

u should host smash sermons...keep preaching that truth

I would prolly show up
put me down as also attending. you should have it as a side event at one of the future smashpocalypses.

EDIT:

im working on your request and i search google images for smash tipper to get a pic of marth tippering, and i found this, some hot game designer who gos by the name tipper queen. lolz u should totally get with her roykid, ur all about the tippers

EDIT AGAIN:

bragging rights take no part in this at all, for me anyway. i like this solely because we come to no disagreement whatsoever when we decide who will participate in crew battles. if you dont perform at the rankings, you dont perform in crew battles. its simple.

its the only way we could think of that takes away judging, since that isnt what we want to do. you have to prove yourself.

also, i will never brag about where i place in these things. its a tournament in a friendly setting for the sole purpose of wanting to participate in a crew battle, and i will also never "brag" to anyone in the crew. theres no point, everyone is here to get better and egg(m) people on.

i just think theres been a lot of confusion about this whole rankings thing the past week or so, and you know who you are if you understand this, lol.

qft

perhaps bragging was the wrong word to use. i didnt really mean it as a way of gloating. you put it much better, egg(m)ing ppl on. im sure you know what i mean, im just not the best with words lol

Alright I understand what everybody is saying, yes it's needed for crew battles I just feel like we need to step overall game play up by playing each other and getting feed back first. Also I didn't notice that you wanted to do this at Cot2, I thought this was a different thing.


I want a sig with a close up Shiek throwing a needle but the needle is a syringe the syringe should be flying to the foreground , with a large Yayo in the background in a signature font. I want it to be mostly crack white with Blue outline. And Have Titan Of Smash Vertically running down the side.

WOW sounds hard, if you can pull it off your officially the GOAT.

That's Your Mission.....Good Luck Player

**** thats a request and a half. il try it. i should be done tomorrow. maybe even tonight if im bored enough lol.

ranking tourneys are completely seperate from the CoT tournaments. CoT is a formal tournament we run like smashpocalypse or.... pound 3? lol. we try to hold ranking tourneys at one of our houses before every big tournament so we can do crew battles. if its something small like... xzax's(i guess?) we wont do it, but smashpocalypse 3, cot2, and so on we'll do. if more ppl besides me and gotm are goin to pound 3, then we'l do one b4 that also. we prob wont do one before the next tunes biweekly. i dont think they do any crew battles. plus, would anyone go to them besides me and gotm?

Ranking tourny to determine skill level within a crew is acceptable given that it is round robin and that it is done fairly often. TSA used to do this actually.

Nice work on Yayo's sig, what font is that? I like it.
The word Yayo is in Magneto and the side Titans of Smash is in Haettenschweiler.

To get the pic of sheik i actually played the game on my crappy SDTV (not even flat screen (i dont mean panel)) and took a picture of sheik when the game was paused with my cell phone. i just smoothed the edges and played off the odd look of it being from a TV as an effect, and gave the syringe a real standout effect along with an interesting gradient in the bkrd to take your attention away from the lower quality sheik.

crew compliment from tuar ftw!

EDIT:
Now that iv actually seen the videos, man aztec ur ICs are gettin so nice! i cant wait to destroy em next time we play lolz. f2damaxx is also gettin better, but i would suggest wavedashing a lot more in place of ur rolls. u and that taunt meteor lol. im almost sure mexi was sandbagging at first like early against aztec and against f2damaxx, but i dunno about later. come on mexi, i know your better than that!

mitri- howd u get the videos online? i didnt kno u or anyone else in the crew had a recording setup

I'm sure all of us had our fair share.

Actually someone around my town wanted to mm me really bad thinking i sucked and how he thought he could wreck me.

I'll admit I might have started it because I was pretty cocky due to my achievements atm.

But at VLS he treated me like I was the next KDJ or something. Like im some ultra pro which I wasn't.

My point is stuff like people talking behind your back is BOUND to happen. Its human nature sad to say to feel better about themselves.

Don't let it bother you just move on and if you want to make a point improve and wreck people.
