I agree with nintendude, backroom should have pro players like myself who are extremely good at smash like myself. I am also extremely deserving of being in the backroom because I am good at smash. im totally not being elitist here or anything

Do I detect a hint of discouragement? Maybe it's because you know nobody wants you or nonsense like this in there? I'm all for a backroom whether I get in or not, and I'd love to get in. I just see the possible progress for our game and this community that will come with it. And me likey that.

Ah posts like these... Looks like another +1 for a backroom <3
I meant to respond to this earlier but I forgot where it was haha. Thanks, I'll look for you one of these days. My main is fox but I feel so much better with CF (I'm sure everyone mediocre feels this way haha)... Anyway yeah I love a lot of CF's match-ups too.. except the little 6 inch fluff ball ><

At mid level, Falcon always feels better. But he's a lot harder in higher levels of play. The better people you play, the more you notice his limits. It's all about practice though.

Hm... what else should we discuss? I think we're done. Lots of people agree with a backroom, lots of people disagree. It's up to you admins/mods to take the right decision now. We gave our input.

Won't it be easy to create accounts and vote as many times as one wants to ?

yes, but is there anybody that cares enough to do so?
honestly who is going to get hurt from the establishment of the backroom, its not like voting yes will kill a baby seal or something
while there are people with valid arguments for no backroom, its undeniable that this will further the cause of competitive smash 64 (primarily in terms of image, but that - and a lack of community - is basically what we lack atm)
can somebody summarise all the arguments for and against (quotes included, hopefully), then post it in a new topic where we repost yay or nay? ill do it if nobody else will.

It's not undeniable; I deny it. I really don't think that a backroom will make a single melee or brawl player take smash more seriously. In fact, I think it'll hurt the cause of competitive smash 64 by splitting up an already small community.
That being said, I do support the reposting of all valid arguments, with quotes, in a single yea/nay thread. I don't have the time to do it right now, though; someone else'll have to do it.

This is the unofficial yay-nay thread
this thread will not determine whether we get a backroom, it is just looking for the collective opinion of the community. I will update the OP frequently today, but less frequently after that.

Wow, a 64 BRoom huh. I agree with nova though.
As everyone already knows, the 64 community is pretty tight knit. Is it purely by chance, or because we lack the necessary means to separate ourselves from each other? Regardless the reason, having a BRoom would no doubt ease the decision process ,when the time comes, by increasing the density of experienced knowledge + discussion vs less experienced knowledge + discussion.

Also, this:
Own section should take higher priority than BRoom atm, simply because there's a greater demand for the section (more recognition, traffic etc.) over the need to discuss things that, for the most part have already been discussed.
Cheeseball pretty much covered the main ideas of this topic with his posts :3
Well there is certainly people on both sides of the backroom debate here. That said, good to see everyone contributing their thoughts so far. Gonna give this a few more days here (and thanks cheeseball for the voting topic, good resource there as well) and then perhaps talk to a few people individually and decide some things from there.
And yes, your own section is under consideration as well.
Just wanted to drop in with an update

I thought it read "construction" at first and was so excited. Thanks for the update, hope to hear back again soon.
Like i said before, If we get an own section, I think everybody will be happy, with or without backroom.

JV is definitely the most legit Admin. He actually listens to people. Thanks for hearing out the ssb64 community man.
And I remember you commentating the melee mlg VoD's back in the day.

i play smash64 quite a bit these days on galaxy's kaillera server, and if a new section is added i will contribute to it.
my votes for the 64backroom mods are for whoever has a proper enough mix of smash64 knowledge, play skill, and (what i think is a bit more important than the rest) responsible and effective moderator abilities

ahahaha that is very true.
As for my opinion: A BRoom would be a very good thing for the smash community to have.
I am on galaxy almost every day and my skill and understanding of the game has gotten to a decent level.
I think a BRoom would truly remove some of the nonsense posted in this topic.

even if its the mods job to deal with it, it's still much better to have specific space with specific members...with a specific goal...it maybe "unique" but it works. We have seen it with Melee and Brawl.
The biggest question is, population, can we handle a Broom?
This all depends on how people get into the Broom, and who is deciding that (be it 1 or a few people...i think a few being better) if this is reconstructed properly we should have no problem generating good material.
Maintaining interest in the general discussions will always be the top priority in all honesty...because without it really we have no community ...just a few people who talk amongst them selves about a game no one seems to care about any more. That being said a Broom definitely would not hinder its growth. I mean why would it, unless people are so upset that they cannot instantly enter...that they quit D:
remember even if you are not in right away that does not mean later you could not join if progression is seen..this in truth is another reason why the Broom may actually improve peoples ability to debate and contribute fair and accurate data with their peers in a better way.
That factor also increases activity within the general threads simply because people are trying to be noticed if they want to get into the Broom, thus changing their attitudes or style or posting to fit whats needed for the community's growth.
This works wonderfully if some people from Melee or Brawl sections notice our Broom (perhaps an ad on the boards? :o) and decide they want to be a part of what seems to be a growing community...because many people see smash64 as...dead and old...we need to find a means to throw that attitude away as much as we can...and this in my opinion is at least a step in the right direction
At this point we're down to rehashing old arguments and making super-dumb new ones. Everyone knows what everyone else thinks, and everyone has had time to formulate an opinion.
At this point, it's down to waiting to see if the powers that be decide to let things lie because the community is split, or to make a BRoom because that's the will of the majority.
Personally, I think fundamental changes should need a two-thirds majority to pass, constitution-style. But then, you know why I think that =p.

This is what I pretty much think.
