SoCal Melee PR 12/29/2013 Update

[Adam M!]

if the rankings exists to promote competition, and to give people an incentive to improve, putting top 25 is a great idea.

this. it's up to the panel to decide what the rankings are for. and what they should be for is for what is the best for the community.

that is a difficult question to answer, but i do think it's closer to a top 25 (extrinsic motivation) rather than a top 15 (accuracy).

socal is a strong enough region that we dont have to go out of our way to fill up a pr
anything more than a top 10 is either a shoutout to the homies that are almost ranked
or its just rewarding people for not making it into top 10/15

 

[Lovage]

i can fill a top 20 of worthy players easily

its probably gonna be top 20 next update

why shouldn't they be 'rewarded'?

just rank as many as you feel you can accurately rank

i wonder if i can get on this list at last spot without going to any tournies

how good is 'good?'
imo rankings should represent a list of peeps who have a reasonable shot of ending up in the money

why go lower than that? if youre not in the money.... idk

So you gotta make $ to get ranked? That's a weak a$$ argument! After thinking about this PR thing for a while, I actually wouldn't mind seeing top 25!

there are many other reasons to do rankings

like to show any reader from another region how a player stands relative to some baseline that foreign player may have (i.e. if the only socal player they've ever played is lovage, they'd have a decent idea of where the other socal players stand but comparing them to him)

or helping the members of your own community gauge their improvement, or at least the community's perception of their improvement

I'm with Atlus on that. The only people winning money back in the day were DSF, and HugS (when he went to stuff). However, we knew that there were plenty other notable players: Mango, Knives, Edrees, Lucky, BoA, DEHF etc etc.

Obviously, a few of these people stuck around and shot up in skill level, so I think the PR can also serve the purpose of watching the advancement of (a) lower ranked player(s).

I'm on the fence about the PR, but I think I'm leaning towards 20. We should just see how that works out before jumping to 25. I also think we should show each player's location like SoCal used to do back in the day and NorCal currently does.

Are you that dude that I 4-stocked while I was warming up at TP5? o.o

 

[unknownPresence]

didnt go to TP5

 

[GreatFox64]

nah man. if a game is close, then it's not ****...

 

[Lanstar]

Kind of a subjective topic, isn't it? lol

 

[Adam M!]

tiebreaker: a 2-0 is **** no matter how close.

 

[Lanstar]

what if hypothetically in game 2 one of the players suicides 3 times(near 0%) but still manages to bring the other player down to the last stock at a high percent. Even if he gets 2-0ed that would still be impressive(and not ****) IMO

 

[SuperRad]

suiciding 3 times = getting *****

 

[Lanstar]

nearly coming back 1 stock vs 4 stocks is impressive(IMO)

this topic is completely subjective anyway there really isn't a right or wrong answer -.-

 

[Adam M!]

lanstar u suck so u have the mentality of a noob so u dont understand

 

[SuperRad]

nearly coming back 1 stock vs 4 stocks is impressive(IMO)

this topic is completely subjective anyway there really isn't a right or wrong answer -.-

yeah but why were you down to 1 stock in the beginning? the fact that you didn't seal the deal shows that they still had the upper hand at that you got *****.
