Saying Melee provides more money than Brawl based on Pound V. <_<

-dies-

Also, people who quit should never ANNOUNCE that they're quitting because they won't.

Mango on survivor would be amazing. He would definitely find a way to get drunk/high.

Brawlers don't care much for Pound since its pretty much considered a Melee tourney so Brawlers won't travel for it. Thats why the WC Brawl players didn't come at all (also a majority of NE).

Just like Apex, Genesis, and pretty much any other national that has both Brawl and Melee in it, Brawl will most likely have more players, as they already have.

I wish there would be another Pound though. Melee has never seen so much attendance and hype as the last 2 have given it.

It was only a Melee tourney cuz Brawlers didn't hype it for ya'lls game. That's why we were able to take it over as a Melee event. Pound 4 has about even rep for both games.

No excuses on that part.

The first 3 Pounds were Melee so it always was a very hyped Melee event. No need to take it over from Brawl cause it never had the spotlight at it.

I'm a brawler nowadays and I came to Pound 4 more to watch Melee than to play Brawl because the Melee hype was too crazy.

lol...no Pound had a pretty melee dominant crowd. Melee had 350 entrants.

At Genesis, Melee had only 2 less entrants and infinite times more hype. Just saying.

Apex is as much of a Brawl tournament series and Pound is a melee tournament series. so using apex as any indication is just as stupid.

.......
want to comment on what u ment by lol?

if its u don't think its possible for someone who is playing better to lose then i would say u have never payed attention to a competition before, an example would be: in soccer maybe one team had 15 shots on goal but they did not go in b/c of the goalie while the other team had 1 shot on goal and it went in. despite what the goal count might say the team with 15 shots out played the other team but still lost. this stuff happens and imo axe was the better player for most of the set

if its b/c i wrote pond and not pound its b/c my keyboard sucks

Yes but Axe has never beaten Armada (x2) / Amsah / PP (more than once) before. Axe also has a history of being inconsistent at regionals and such. Axe is amazing, but saying that Axe is better than HBox because he "played better" in a set he lost (3-0? 3-1?) is too much LOL.


I think for now,

PP / Armada (in that order, but close)
HBox
m2k / Amsah (in that order, but close)
Axe /Jman (in that order, but close, probably)

the rest

Hax might not be the MOST consistent player, but he fairly consistently places very high in huge tournaments using a character that is difficult to this with. He beat the world's greatest sheik.... with falcon! He deserves all the recognition he gets imo.

I refuse to count Mango atm.

Apex is as much of a Brawl tournament series and Pound is a melee tournament series. so using apex as any indication is just as stupid.
Apex2010's Melee to Brawl ratio was 4:5 aka 44% Melee players, 56% Brawlers

Pound V's Brawl to Melee ratio was 3:5 aka 37% brawlers, 63% Melee players

Thats enough of a difference that it shouldn't be directly comparable and is not "just as stupid" to use imo.

ok thats a good argument which i was not aware of since i had not been following smash much recently, the last thing i followed was the last major tourney were axe got like top 5 or something so it seems i just tune in when axe does well. but i still think he played better in the set but hbox got the clutch rests which won it for him. still i have to judge from what ive seen and i like taking into account only recent placings since there needs to be a cut off point, so i think maybe very late 2009 but mostly i take into account 2010 and 2011 should be what people judge by

has axe ever played amsah?

Lol @ Nagace not knowing **** about football (soccer)
was it that obvious? it was late and for some reason the only sport i could think of was soccer i dont know why. the idea behind my analogy was still good but i could of done better using football instead of soccer. (anyone who is upset at me calling it soccer, its a term that gets rid of confusion so its easier then calling it football then explaining which football i was talking about)

I wasn't talking about your terminology. I know it's called soccer in the US.

I was talking about you not knowing **** about the sport. Your analogy was terrible and wrong.

One impressive tourney result proves everything obviously.
You must not follow the community much:

Genesis:
Hax- 8th
Jman- 13th
Axe- 33rd

Rom 2:
Hax: 7th
Jman: 5th
Axe: N/A

Pound 4:
Hax: 13th
Jman: 5th
Axe: 17th

Rom 3:
Hax: 13th
Jamn: 4th
Axe: N/A

Apex 2010:
Hax: 9th
Jman: 7th
Axe: 5th

DGDTJ:
Hax: N/A
Jman: 1st
Axe: 17th

Pound 5:
Hax: 5th
Jman: N/A
Axe: 4th

Add that to his numerous top3-5 teams placings with hbox.

To say that hax has had only one notable tourny performance is ridiculous.

For tournaments both Axe and Hax have attended, Hax far outperformed him at genesis, and placed one spot below axe at pound 5. Apex is the only tourny where axe significantly outplaced hax (5th compared to 9th)

To put it plainly, they both have 5th place finishes so they "cancel out". Axe has a 4th, but then his next highest placing is 17th. Hax has numerous 7th, 9th, and even 13th place finishes and has never placed lower than 13th at a national. Axe has placed 17th on numerous occasions, as well as 33rd.

Jesus is clearly the best out of the 3 of them (but i included him in my original post which you quoted), but I find it outrageous that people put axe in the same category as jman/zhu/lucky but always leave out Hax. If anything, Axe is the outlier here with only 2 notable tourny placings

I've got nothing against Axe, amazing player, but dudes need to give credit where credit is due.

edit: ps. love you axe and mean no disrespect at all, just giving attention to my boy hax, sorry if it seems like im being mean. i also think ur top 10 lol

yea i know that what i was saying was it that obvious that i didnt know anything about the sport. now that i think about it boxing would of been the right sport to make the analogy for it. and like i said idk why i brought up soccer it was late and its what came to mind
