Discontinued bcuz everyone is hating


With Smash rounding off it's 13th year anniversary, things have changed ever since the beginning. This crew battle is to commemorate the change from the past to the present, by having the old face the new!

It will be the Old Generation (Players that have been in the scene for quite a while) vs the new amazing players (The Young/Newer players). (I do not count) :p

Discuss here what players should take a place in this epic showdown!

My Rough Draft:

New Generation:

If I could go I'd want to participate.
What do you define as old though, is it the likes of ken and bombsoldier or m2k and armada?

M2K's definitely old school, and Armada is relatively new school.

I like the idea but the boundary between the two crews seem pretty fuzzy. Which crew would you put Mango on?

No, I do not want any top players in it. It would make the crew battle fair. When I mean old school, I mean like Chillin, Ken, Cactuar, etc.\

For the new players, not to offend anyone, I would like a combination of the New amazing players (Hax, PPU, etc.) with the Future Stars, (Me (not calling myself great), Ryobeat, Wizzrobe, etc)

I don't know how people can consider someone who actively played and was good before Brawl to be new school anymore.

I had a feeling you wanted to weasel your way into a crew battle, lol. I don't really find this appealing. With the exception of maybe Wizzrobe, ya'll would get junked, It wouldn't really be entertaining to watch unless you alter your definitions of 'old' and 'new' school.

I guess you didn't know M2k and I started to play smash competitive the SAME weekend? (I think he went on Saturday and I went to my tournament on Friday).

So me starting earlier/the same time makes me new school?
I actually did compete for quite a while before I came to America. Even though Genesis 1 would have been even cooler if I was super new to the game too.

I was actually thinking something like Chillin, Ken, Azen (if they showed up) vs. Wizzy, Android and others that are rising up there.

damn, you were destined to forever be a step ahead of m2k since the beginning...even on different continents.

:chuckle:

What a qt3.14

Anyway, you need to define your definition of "new" and "old" school because everyone you listed would be considered "old" school if you are going by when they started playing.

And if you don't have top players playing, what's the point? As a spectator, id rather watch the good players play than other people who are less skilled. it's like asking someone, "What would you rather watch, a high school basketball championship or the NBA finals?"

Yeah, but still, so many players don't get the chance to play at all in crews. This gives those players a chance. Make the battle fair

IDK about Swift and Vanz, but Hax is definitely new school. Although Hax has been around for a while, it seems hax should be new school due to his age.

Also, what do pplz think of the crews?
lmfao, hax and jman have been around since like papa dav3 was still in the scene ('06 i believe). I'm new school and im older than them (21)...see how that logic works. They weren't called Little Rascals for nothing.

Ugh I give up! Look, I know im not the best in making this, but i've been around for X amount of time, so I don't know who is young or old. Did anyone even bother to make one of their own (besides a few other pplz)? Im 13 and I'm not psychic. Im Just trying something out!

I think the best way to go about this is to define old school and new school, and find players who started old school, and those who started as new school.

Some of you are really damn disrespectful. If you have a problem with the idea then politely explain why. The kid has a passion and you spit in his face when he tries to share it. If this is how some of us treat players who are either misinformed or have a different opinion, then we are a sad community.

edit: Most people in this thread are cool but a few comments made me mad, sorry.

Please close this it makes no sense
What a **** lmao

The least you could do, being the guy who runs the tournament and all, is explain why it makes no sense. You're speaking to a kid who isnt even in 8th grade yet.

Everything was already said.

Idea is sound but, at the same time, there is no way to determine who or what is old school and who/what is new school.

Old school could be

Ken
M2K
Mango

or

Ken
Azen
Chillen

or something else. It is too arbitrary and I have seen enough of these threads where people argue and debate everything about that.

I love Geoff he is a nice little kid but he needs to relax a little. Read back and see that this has been discussed several times at LENGTH. That is why I say close it.

Old School
M2K
Pc
Ken
KDJ
Azen
Chillin
Hugs


New School
Mango
Hbox
PP
Hax
Shroomed
PPU
Unkown.

Almost every player is Old school. the Difference in Old School/New School is how well they did then to now. Back in the day Ken nearly 4 stocked Mango, today it would prolly be reversed. Hax and mango may have been playing since 07 but they really werent known as much. Today they are some of best but then they were really just players trying to make it out of pools....cept mango who got 3rd at evo07

Yeah not saying you started in 2007 just saying you were around since atleast since then. Its hard to really define Old School and New School smashers for a crew
