SoCal Melee PR 12/29/2013 Update

[xXx-NoobKing-xXx]

Get'm Weston.

 

[SUNG666]

I'm down to talk about rankings after the tournament :]

 

[OkamiBW]

Hey, so like...let's either update this* or make a new thread with people who actually care.

*Or at least talk about it and say, "Hey, let's update it within a week after Kings of Cali II."

 

[ComboFest]

Tapez for top 5

 

[~~X~~]

combofest for top 1

 

[OkamiBW]

Can we now please?

 

[Cherished Doll]

i think yall should wait till the NorCal tourney. :x

 

[OkamiBW]

And then we're gonna wait til the next local. And then EVO. And then not update after that. :/

 

[Cherished Doll]

I def think it should done before EVO.

 

[TaFoKiNtS]

Just hit people up and do it. Talking about planning to do it rarely leads to discussion.

 

[ComboFest]

Sung. Do it.

 

[Fly_Amanita]

I'd rather get it done soon. Some possibilities for how to go about doing this:

1) Have the panel discuss it IRL after some event. Not terribly likely since that requires getting a bunch of people together and the opportunities to do this are sparse.
2) "Chat" about it online somewhere. From what I can gather, FB would be most convenient for this. I wouldn't be able to do this, but if it's the course of action we decide to go with, I'm okay with not being a part of the panel. Other options would be AIM and Skype, but my experience is that arranging things that way is a pain.
3) Pull an Oregon and talk about it publicly in this thread, in which case everybody can talk about it and have the panel decide the final list when the time comes. I'm partial to this option since it's easy and since I see no need to be secretive about the PR discussions, but if other people disagree, we can do things differently.

 

[OkamiBW]

And if you wanted to do it via Facebook, Fly, I could always come over and you could log into my account to chat.

 

[MacD]

okami with the shade.

wants to know what everyone says

 

[SUNG666]

Who'll be talking on the panel? Fly, wes, and I? If so, then it'll be super easy to arrange something cause we're almost always online I'm sure we all have skype

 

[SacaSuMoto]

Dooo it! Gather them stats.

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

Just do it in Smashboards PM. New Smashboards allows you to do multi-person chat now.

 

[OkamiBW]

Definitely should start discussing.

 

[Fly_Amanita]

We've been discussing it.

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

Its almost finalized afaik

 

[ComboFest]

so i'm going to be ranked right? i mean i did win a game of friendlies off of stab out of 100. Let that soak in.

 

[DanteFox]

Damn. Looks like I'm gonna have to wait another year to get ranked then lol.

 

[ComboFest]

Clayton should be ranked imo.

 

[Fly_Amanita]

Updated today; I will also post something relevant to future updates once I get everything figured out.

 

[ComboFest]

I'm not even honorable mention. The fire inside me has ignited.

 

[SFAT]

Why are the Falco icons so ugly?

 

[Fly_Amanita]

I didn't notice how hideous they were on a dark background (not that they're terribly pleasant on lighter ones either). I'll just revert to the code for the normal Falco icon and wait until that gets fixed.

 

[Nos]

Too many god damn sheiks.

Good **** SB climbing up there. Next time it'll be Dante then me and Saca.

 

[SUNG666]

I liked the falco icons :]

 

[Get Low]

The people at the bottom of the list are still probably better than all of Ohio combined.

 

[commonyoshi]

I thought the horrible falco icons were on purpose. I thought it was funny...

And SoCal is so stacked. I bet many of the rugular, unranked players could place 1st at any ohio local. eeeeeeaazy

 

[SacaSuMoto]

Dantefox for 20

 

[ComboFest]

aiming for at least 15 next time.

 

[SacaSuMoto]

Combofest for 99

 

[Sizzle]

Nice list. Socal has so many good players.

 

[Fly_Amanita]

Like I said earlier, I do have something else in mind that I think will be nice for future ranking updates and likely nice for reference purposes anyways. In the past couple updates, looking at past results and figuring out just how everybody performed at everything was at times a big hassle and I'm sure some data that would have been nice to know was skipped due that. Because of this, I intend on maintaining a spreadsheet that will have store lots of relevant tourney data for Socal players in a few easily accessible ways. I currently have a very rough draft of how I'd like it to be up, although some things will likely change (for example, I can nicely merge the "Player Records (OoR)" sheet into the "Player Grid" one; I just haven't gotten around to that yet). I think I'm generally comfortable with the overall structure, though, so unless I see notably better alternatives, the basic format of this likely won't change. I don't currently have any actual data up, and won't until the next tourney since I don't intend on storing old results (see the big image on the front page of the doc for details; in retrospect, I worded that part awfully, but hopefully it's not too unclear), but I have examples of what the structure would be like in the sheets. That said, here is the spreadsheet.

 

[MacD]

sounds like you are gonna do something similar to what norcal is doing now. maybe you should talk to tafokints and see what he likes/dislikes about his spreadsheet system.

 

[Strong Badam]

Good **** SB climbing up there.

yea dude i keep bringin the pain

 

[Cherished Doll]

too good ^_^ good job SoCal

 

[OkamiBW]

Birthday update.
