The Great Smash Census - SURVEY NOW LIVE!

[Pyra]

View attachment 1579

Who are these people and how do their minds operate? Are they all Luigi mains?

The number of people that didn't pick "not at all" disgusts me. D:<

 

[Fenrir VII]

disappointed by lack of Isaac in "most wanted" question..
otherwise a great survey, though.. you really think about your favorite stages, etc until somebody asks you..

Although I knew going into the survey that Ike's castle (yeah I know the name, but seriously play Ike on that level and tell me it's not great) in Brawl is freaking amazing

 

[mimgrim]

I took it.

It is rather sad that only 4 people in the prelimnary results have Lylat Cruise as their fave SSBB stage. :C

 

[Handorin]

I won't be one of them. WDing never made sense to me from a logical standpoint.[Being able to >air< dodge >before< you're in the air in order to slide along the ground? I get that this is a fantasy fighter, but...]

But you are in the air. It's just that if you wavedash well enough it doesn't look like it. If you waveland or wavedash poorly, then it's more obvious you're in the air.

I can't speak for characters that get airborn quickly when they jump, like Fox, but as for characters like Link or Bowser, the WD tech can be done when they're still in the "crouch" that happens when you press a jump button.
That's decidedly not "in the air". That's "crouched on the ground, in a springing position, merely >preparing< to jump", so being able to WD in that position makes no logical sense.

 

[GreatGonzales]

I think I will post the survey on allisbrawl, gamefaqs and reddit super smash brothers. Any strong objections to this? I am not familiar with these communities.

I disagree with Reddit
but if you want it on Reddit just post it on 4chan (reddit will get it from 4chan like always)

I could post it in the Dominican Competitive Smash facebook page, it has about 200 members, but then the results might be a little askewed, so maybe I shouldn't.

 

[Oddyesy]

We have some OP pies. And I see Roy isn't that popular.

Ok, thanks for your input. So, why not reddit? I would like to know.

This is my goal: to post the survey on all the hardcore smash communities. Not casual places like miiverse or whatever. Of course, this being the Internet, I will get some people who have no business taking the survey. But, that will be accounted for in the margin of error.

 

[GreatGonzales]

Are there other hardcore smash communities that I am not aware of? Maybe a smaller community that's off my radar? If so please enlighten me.

it just copies every thing from 4chan and acts pretentious while doing it (4chan is pretty bad so you can only imagine)

 

[smashmachine]

wait, why make it hardcore communities only
(lol at the gender ratio)

 

[Pyra]

Yeah, I can second this statement.

 

[GreatGonzales]

I mean, I don't really care if they are pretentious so long as they are über smash fans.

And why only hardcore - just because I am trying to limit this survey to only those persons who care the most about the smash franchise.

 

[Curmudgeon]

If you want to post it on 4chan this is the videogames board http://boards.4chan.org/v/ or maybe you'd prefer the Pokémon board http://boards.4chan.org/vp/ this is where most of the 4chan Nintendo fans hang out

Most people think 4chan consists of only /b/ (the random board), from a personal experience I can say most of the other boards aren't as bad as you think

true most boards aren't that bad but /co/ has gotten worse though
I think /v/ hates competitive smash though

 

[Curmudgeon]

yeah, most of it, you better ask the Pokémon board Mr. Gonzales

 

[GreatGonzales]

I would rather limit my postings to boards that are explicitly smash-oriented. But thanks I will check it out.

 

[Souless_shadow]

I just took it and I can't wait to see the final results

 

[GreatGonzales]

yeah, most of it, you better ask the Pokémon board Mr. Gonzales

On second thought, I think I will just post the survey on gamefaqs and allisbrawl. Retain some semblance of data purity.

 

[Bajef8]

I'd say for the controller option under Brawl, add the Wii Mote only as an option. It's a bad one, but one at least one person may use lol.

Also for all the character percentage bars, you should totally have them arranged from largest to smallest percent. It's a better visual representation that way.

 

[Curmudgeon]

Yeah, I have to admit I used the wiimote for a long time...

 

[Lemonwater]

I find it strange that people did not choose Fourside more. I mean....seriously? Oh, and Fountain of Dreams.

I feel alone for favoring Sector Z and Halberd, too lol

 

[Pacack]

I'm also interested in seeing more of these results

 

[DownWitDaWaveDash]

I feel like the people who said exactly like Melee probably wouldn't play it if it was exactly like melee, because they wouldnt be able to cope with the realization that there are characters that aren't Fox,Sheik,Falco,Peach and Marth.

 

[MexM]

I just did it!

 

[Tybis]

I would rather limit my postings to boards that are explicitly smash-oriented. But thanks I will check it out.

What about the Smash-modding community?

 

[GreatGonzales]

What about the Smash-modding community?

THANK YOU. I knew there was a modding community out there but couldnt find it. Are there any other communities that I am missing?

 

[Wonks]

Nice survey--it was a lot of fun.
Strangely enough, Hyrule Temple 64, Hyrule Temple Melee, and Bridge of Eldin are my favorite stages in each respective game, but I'm quite horrible with Link .

 

[Athena21]

That survey was fun. Thanks for posting. I can't wait to see the full results.

Hey man, I don't know if it's too late but maybe you can post the survey on the IGN boards. It's a Wii U general board, though. So maybe you'd prefer to post it in the Smash 4 discussion thread.

 

[GreatGonzales]

Thanks for the recommendation. I will check them out - if there is a strong smash community there, I will post the survey.

 

[OcarinaOfDoom]

The problem about the IGN Wii U Lobby's thread is that most of the regular posters are on Smashboards. Also don't think their Smash dedicated lobby is that active, and I've seen some repeats from the Wii U lobby there. There are a few posters who I don't think are on Smashboards that are more 'hardcore', but that's a limited few.

 

[GreatGonzales]

Does someone have a link to the smash-focused ign board handy?

EDIT: nvm, I see now that it is just a thread.

 

[OcarinaOfDoom]

There is a Smash focused board, but from what I've seen it's not very active. Wii U Lobby thread seems more active to me

[GreatGonzales]

You all can expect detailed results soon. Any good ideas for interesting cross-tabs?

 

[PandaPornStar]

My only problem with this is that I played Brawl with just a Wii Mote, no option for that though :/

 

[PikaJew]

Really puts it into perspective the crowd that goes on these boards.
Mostly competitive Melee buffs......... and male....................
Lots of love for Marth, and glad to see so much for wanting Mewtwo to return.



BUT THIS PROVES HOW UNPOPULAR YOSHI IS!
So totally reworking his moveset and model to incorporate Baby Mario would be very beneficial for his popularity.

 

[BaPr]

Pit's playstyle was rather awkward in Brawl imo, so I'm not really surprised by his low numbers. He's looking to get a vast improvement in the fun department in SSB4 though, so I'm definitely expecting his numbers to go up by then.

What are you talking about? He was so freaking epic! If his wings of icarus were able to be reused when getting hit, I bet he would've been a top tier. Even Japan has him as a high tier. The WoI was seriously the only problem with him.
