Lots of words about TFS ranking
Here is a list of everyone right now: Sheldon, Milos, Ritz, Mikael, Chappaqua Jesse (not your bro Sheldon), Niko, Sam, Neal, Jona, Moko, Elliot (joo$), myself? Am I missing anyone? There are some others who could be on here like some of our brothers, Mr. Perry/Bucket/Nelson, City heads (M.Tian/Kenny), lol even PC Chris/Hazzard.... but I'm not sure they should be considered as I don't play them enough, some of them don't play enough or at all, and others don't technically even live in the area anymore.
So.... discuss, I'll have to think about this a lot and I'll see if I can come up with some thoughts later.
I got a request to throw up my thoughts, so here I go. Here are my thoughts of the following people I have played:
OTG: For some reason, every time I get to play you, I feel like you keep getting better. Seriously, if I had boots, I'd be shaking in them. The fact I can go nearly 50/50 with you though is kind of cool though. Your combo ability is a lot better than mine and you have a much better ability to adapt (over the course of a half hour or more). However, I think my insane gimping ability against you keeps us more even...or holds me back, but it helps me win (lol).
I don't recall anything remarkable about our team matches though only because we don't do them very often, so I won't comment on that
Niko: The one time I played you and I can say you are a beast. Both of us have strong suits. However, I think we both falter in adapting. After watching the matches I recorded, I noticed my Marth beat your Marth (set 1) and your Fox beat my Fox (set 4). This either means we don't know our main's mirror match or we need to switch mains (lol). I haven't had a chance to study your play style for specific strengths and weaknesses since I've only played you once, but just remember how awesome my Kirby was
.
Never played you in teams, no comment.
Oh, fun fact for Niko if Max hasn't told you this already: After you left, Max noticed the kill count between the three of us were equal; since you were sharing both of our controllers, the KO count for Max's controller was exactly the same as my controller's KO count.
Moko: It's been a while since we've played, but I remember you having the potential. I just don't remember you beating me very often, if at all when we played. We didn't get to play too many matches against each other though, so I can't support that. I would need to play you again.
As for teams, I think our Kirby/Jiggs team was too good. Other than that, I don't recall too much.
Sam: Extremely mixed bag on this one. When we play against each other, it can go either way. I remember a year ago or so when it was just you and me and your Fox was beating my Marth pretty badly. <Johns> Keep in mind this was before I started playing with Marth more often </Johns>. The most recent time we've played, I was holding my own. You were beasting on my Kirby though. However, I notice you have a hard time going up against Max. It might be because you have trouble adapting to him, but I feel like you rely on "tricks", such as the falco -->B cancel on pkmn stadium. You're better than some people I know, but you can definitely get better.
Also, our Pikachu/Bowser team was too good
.
Mr. Perry: According to Max, we've played before, and you were the Luigi player. You were good, but I don't recall you beating me very often, if at all.
Team matches? No idea.
So if I had to rank us in tiers...
God Tier
Neal's Kirby
High Tier
OTG
SH3L (me)
NIKO
Not High Tier
Sam
Moko
Mr. Perry
If I had to throw in some of my WPI friends, I'd throw my friend Pat (aka: Trap) right next to me, Paul in between High Tier and Not High Tier (so Mid Tier basically), and I'd throw Yedi in Mid Tier below Paul.
