SoCal Melee PR 12/29/2013 Update

[Drecker]

Beans? Cool.

 

[LuCKy]

but even if hugs were top 3, and lucky were 4, i still wouldn't MM lucky. so not Mango, zhu, lucky, and hugs. anyone ELSE want a mm? :D

how about falcon dittos :]

 

[omgwtfToph]

I'm not from socal but I'll moneymatch!!!

no falcon dittos though XD my falcon sucks

 

[Little England]

I've once seen Lucky's Falcon get Spinning Konged by Danimals next to the blastzone of Dreamland>walljump tech the side of the stage>and airdodge back to safely make it onto the stage.

Don't do it

 

[embracethe12]

Little england
ever since your avatar change i've been reading your posts less and less
i don't know why
has nothing to do with your avatar
that's just the point i started

 

[Little England]

Probably because Dudley stood out more with its bright colors and such. I'll search for a better one (even though the Fox one is really cute)

 

[bbb]

dudley *****

 

[SuperRad]

i didnt like your fox avatar
looked like some furry ****

 

[choknater]

so when is macd gonna get ranked

 

[Deleted member]

do not rank me until i can prove myself

 

[festizzio]

i didnt like your fox avatar
looked like some furry ****

Well I really liked it.

 

[HugS™]

This needs to be a top 15, really.

 

[joeplicate]

Well I really liked it.

furry

 

[The Greater Leon]

furry

pedo

 

[Lovage]

pedo

BOOSTER

 

[Kira-]

This needs tobe a top 15, really.

i agree, i think it should be made after pats house, atlus thinks that's too soon but I don't see any better time to do it than after a major tournament like this. Plus if we follow our update every two months rule like we seem to be doing then we're only a couple weeks early.

do not rank me until i can prove myself

iono man, you're pretty consistent not losing to anyone but ranked people so you'll probably have to be on it. unless you lost to someone yesterday that i wasn't aware of



oh yeah and we need new panelists? or are we just swapping atlus for hugo?

 

[Adam M!]

god every time i look at this list it makes me cringe

why in the world is larry 4th

 

[Atlus8]

oh yeah and we need new panelists? or are we just swapping atlus for hugo?

Swapping me for HugS is good! New panelist? I think so!

 

[Adam M!]

why would you update every two months? that doesn't even make sense. every 3 months = the year is split into quarters. every two months = the year is split in sixths? LOL

 

[GSUB]

every month = the year is split in twelfths!
/math

I'm wondering though, would updating the PR monthly be a bad thing (feel free to say yes).
One benefit is increased competition.
Support with more positives or negatives.(I'm sure there's tons of + and - I'm overlooking, probably more -)

The definition of a BAD idea.

 

[pockyD]

overly frequent updates are a bad idea because you are more likely to overreact to flukes

 

[Adam M!]

the more often you update it, the less validity it has because the more you are willingly allowing more variance to enter the equation

basically pocky said what i said but i had this page open for awhile and didn't see his post

 

[GSUB]

I see.
But wouldn't it matter less because it would be updated a month later anyway, and be set straight?
And whoever lost to the fluke would make sure they do their best to reclaim their spot, and the person who got that spot would try harder to keep it.
All around making everyone try harder.

 

[Fly_Amanita]

Then you'd be sacrificing accuracy in an effort to make people try harder, which shouldn't be the fundamental goal of a PR.

 

[pockyD]

basically pocky said what i said

actually you said what i said, not vice versa

I see.

not necessarily, because you're assuming that a different fluke result wouldn't happen in that next time period

frequent updates are useless if you are conceding in advance that they aren't very accurate

 

[GSUB]

Fly is right.
I forgot the main point of a PR is to accurately show who is the best in a region.

If we wanted something to increase try-hardedness, it would have to be something else I guess.
I would like to see something like that though, to get more people motivated.

 

[Kira-]

people motivate themselves

if you aren't traveling to a tournament every weekend you probably play more for fun than for serious

 

[GSUB]

I agree with everything kira said because he's pointing a gun at me

 

[SuperRad]

mark it zero
--

if people aren't motivated on their own, the community isn't responsible to make them want to get better.

 

[Adam M!]

hey man, you can't do anything to motivate people. they do it on their own accord. it's really just a matter of priorties

actually you said what i said, not vice versa

goddammit i need to refreshj threads before i reply

 

[HugS™]

Well, updating the PR monthly wouldn't be such a bad idea for the current mindset of the panel.
It seems that the main purpose of the panel has been to reflect the performances of players during a particular period, irrelevant of previous periods.

Now, if the purpose is to reflect the abilities of players as an asset to our region in competition on all levels, then the periods should span 2-3 months, take previous rankings into consideration, and not punish players directly for decreased activity.

Basically, most PR's do the noob thing and rank performances, not players. It's like they just start fresh every single period. Socal included.

 

[DJMirror]

Yup yup too true

 

[Lovage]

so are we going to change the criteria of a players rankings to more than just tournament results? (wins/losses)
this is a good idea if we have a panel of active players

 

[joeplicate]

sounds like you just want an excuse to underrate macd

:3

 

[NeoAkira]

sounds like you just want an excuse to underrate macd

:3

I definitely underrated MacD, but then I saw him 4-stock Lucky, so I decided he's probably much better than I gave him credit for.

 

[joeplicate]

prolly a fluke

macd isn't very good

 

[Kouryuu]

LOL 4 stock. Lucky you noob.

 

[Bizzarro Flame]

macd is underrated

when he went down to so-cal ever since the summer ended, he ****ed everyone in his way

 

[joeplicate]

yeah he's priy gud
