For what i know (Which isnt alot XD) Power rankings for regions and stuff are the rankings by votes. What if ssb64 had one? We could update it every month-6 months or whatever. Also im a premium member so i can start polls

I LOVE IT. I dunno how we'd go about doing it.

I want to hear Malva's take on this. The reason for this being because he's been to like... Japan and stuff and some of the worlds finest ssb64 players come from Japan and I think if we had official world powerrankings for ssb64 that the japanese should have a chance to be on them.

Also, could we vote for players that mostly play online like Superboom and etc? Because I've heard malva refer to kaillera smash as ''fake smash'' on more than one occasion.

Im behind this one hundred perecent but I'm far too ignorant of the ssb64 global scene to take any steps myself, Ill see how this plays out I suppose.

Sounds fair to me...

perhaps since most of us play online we should handle the online Power rankings ourselves and talk to Malva about what he thinks about a power ranking for console players and how to go about setting it up. Im shooting in the dark here, but I figure if anyone can shed some light on the topic it'll be Isai.

So yeah Im all for some kaillera power rankings... I think it shouldnt be regional (like the rankings we tried to start) but rather we should vote for the top 15 online smashers and change it up when someone proves they can beat someone ranked higher than them not just by fluke, but in a set of whatever ammount of games...

whaddya think everyone?

Offline is incredibly hard to organize.

And a poll would be a HORRIBLE idea, but the power rankings isn't a bad one. It should be the same way as the others are done: Panel of a few people who have a lot of experience.

Pretty sure SSBM power rankings are decided by a panel of experienced people in the BRoom.

The KSO 5 stock series? Or the KSO goes crying home to his momma series? Only time will tell.

I like meows suggestion. We should let the clearly best players decide who ranks where. I nominate boom Jaime Nephiros Dreday and Metroid for starters.

No offence KSO but I wouldn't give you or megavolt a spot purely because ive seen most of your vids and your captain falcon is on par with mine, or possibly slightly better. I think you're a great player and who knows how good you are At the moment (videos arent the be all end all of how good you are) but I think there's a level in skill that you have yet to reach, same with me.

Dunno really... so how about this :

We vote in BHLMRO's poll to find out whos on the comittee, then the commitee decides the PRs?

If I had to make a list of top active kaillera players right now it would go something like this.

1. Malva
2. Superboom
3. Johnny
4. Dedrick
5. Nintendude
6. Metroid
7. Tigerbombz
8. Dreday
9. Cartman
10. Nephiros


Didn't have jaime on there cause I don't really know his skill because I don't play him, and I haven't played dark link x in forever so I dunno how good he is. The list imo is very hard to make though without some kind of round robin tourney. All that is really certain is malva is the top. Some wouldn't rate Dedrick as high because he is a kirby main and the rest of his characters aren't up to par with his kirby, but I've never seen anyone beat him before besides myself.

jaime should be right below boom.

btw, we tried power rankings before and it didn't work out very well. it's really hard to gauge skill online because there are tons of people who are very good but don't come online often or play with weird names.

I think it would be cool if everybody had a win loss record and when you would beat sombody in a match it would go up and vice versa. Then there would be a ranking system (1 being the best) depending on how much better your win loss record is.
For ex.
1. Bob 12-6 = 6
2. Alex 12-9 = 3
3. Jason 15 - 14 = 1

So when you fight it would display a number next to you so other people know how good or bad you are. It isn't a tourny either so it would just stick with you forever. I got this Idea from Burnout 3 online.

Not exactly, you don't see a number next to you when your playing online. I mean everybody will have a number. Like sombody would have like 8053 or something. Ladder is just a small thing were people have to fight each other to pass. I mean when you go on the net and you fight sombody you don't know would you like to know how good they are. And not everybody who goes on is in a Emuladder.

That idea wouldn't really work that good. Having a good ratio would just mean that you never played people better then you.

also, the lack of organized tournaments really prevents people from playing their best. some people (like me lol) don't really care if they win all the time and/or talk on AIM or whatever at the same time.

Power rankings are based on tournament results as well as just skill in general. We'd need to have online tournaments first before attempting to make rankings. The SG ones ran really well so it's definitely doable.

And yeah, I don't think online is really representative, too many people never play online or don't have the time...etc....
