The North Carolina Melee Power Rankings! (Updated 2/11/10!)

[Lightsyde]

Kevin: Not sucking? haha

I don't remember specifically what I was supposed to do, but I did definitely chill a lot on training mode. I'm playing smarter but my tech skill was kinda sketch when I played James today. I need to stop playing so conservative in matches. Me and James are playing again on Thursday and I'll be heading out to Gboro on Friday night. Somebody needs to put me up.

Anyway, I'm curious as to how placing in this tourney will affect things. There is so so much stiff competition it would be easy to not make it out of pools or go 2-0 with bad enough luck. Not planning on it, but in general, I think everybody knows what I mean.

Also, money on Adam and PP both placing top 10.

Also, crazy good stuff Ali for doing so well at Final Round.

If I wasn't already teaming with Vilt, I'd so take you up. Our GaW/Marth team was so good. >_> <_<

 

[Dark Hart]

I'll be cheering NC on from the livestream!

 

[Dr Peepee]

Haha Lucas, you got that title you've always wanted. XD

<3 Knorrbro

Josh, I told you to keep yourself thinking about the game in your free time (driving, walking somewhere, before you go to sleep, etc) so that you can respond to situations before they happen or you could create them yourself. This allows for a little more flexibility in tough situations and the confidence that you are ready for whatever your opponent can throw at you. It's not foolproof, but it is enough to help you grow mentally as you play more difficult opponents.



Oh, and I dunno about how PRs will be affected by this. It seems very unfortunate (even by PR standards I guess) that those with players like M2K in their pool/bracket should be punished, but it's going to happen to some of us.

What do you think about it, Karn?

 

[Foxy]

People who have rough pools or brackets can always play enough money matches within NC folk to make the rankings more accurate... who knows.

 

[Dr Peepee]

This tournament will be expensive though. You know how cheap we are. XD

 

[Foxy]

True, true...

Alright, penny money matches. You know it.

 

[DUB]

True, true...

Alright, penny money matches. You know it.

1 cent MM anyone?

Seriously though, I need someone to practice Melee with

 

[Ragnar0k]

Yeah I suck balls.

 

[Dr Peepee]

I'll try to help you guys out if you want.

 

[lord karn]

I think that in general, being able to place well in a tourney with lots of competition should be rewarded. For most of the people on the power ranking list, it doesn't really matter much who the 'best' player in their pool is. Pretty much everyone will have at least one awesome player in their pool.

 

[Dr Peepee]

Yeah, the skill distribution should be roughly the same over all pools/brackets, so why not just treat any unfortunate occurances as those in a regular tournament?

I feel silly for not figuring that out lol.

 

[Foxy]

/sigh

It's pretty much true.

There will ALWAYS be unfair cases, but can we really do aught for those involved?

 

[Dark Hart]

I'm totally going to be up hear after tomorrow.

 

[Dark Hart]

Mindgamez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Foxy]

nice double poast

b&

 

[Dr Peepee]

We're waiting a bit for these to be updated.

Yay.

 

[LumpyCPU...]

LOL i just saw that you have neighborhood P in you sig.
gawd... that guy even talks garbage about people on the other side of the country!
lol

i thought only the lucky pacwest boards got to experience his graceful posts.

 

[Lightsyde]

I don't think Herb should reflect much. Most of the NC power rankings had to leave before the tourney even started. We got back late from food and the tourney had already started. We need another bi weekly or two to happen.

PS Fox is a good character and Marth is tremendously gay. A character's gayness vs goodness should be relative to how difficult they are to play.

Fox/Falco/Falcon = Good
Marth/Sheik/Peach/Ganon = Gay

Just sayin. >___>

 

[*P*L*U*R*]

I money-matched ALi for a slice of cheesecake.

That was the worst he's ever ***** me. I didn't think my cheesecake was that good

i think we're all in agreement that pr's shouldnt be left up to herb placings... But i dont think 3 out of 10 people qualifies as ''most'' just saying... Also personally i would rather play a good marth or sheik and DEFINATELY would rather play against a good peach or gannon any day than play a good fox falcon or falco the only character i really find gay is jiggs but thats mostly due to how agravating that matchup is

 

[Dr Peepee]

I agree with Jiggz being stupid and gay.

PLUR, your cheesecake ***** lol.

Bill can do what he wants to with Brawl, but I think another few tournies need to happen for Melee to get updated.

Poor Jim most likely can't travel to any more tournaments til after May 12th, so I feel bad about what'll happen to him (and me I guess....I dunno) but I suppose that's just how things are.

 

[Pyrostormer]

: (
****, Im gonna have to wait till after May 12. I hope im still on these by that time.

 

[Dr Peepee]

Maybe you made a good impression on people at HERB, man. That's all I got.

 

[Rawfuls]

if the issue is a ride i'll take you jim under the condition you buy me tacos from jack in the box when we hit statesville i think this is an even trade

edit: i just realized i dont make many of the tournies in nc myself so maybe this is a bad plan

 

[-ACE-]

Ganon = Gay

Your main and secondary characters are both among Ganon's top 4 hardest matchups.

Just sayin. :<

 

[Dr Peepee]

You'll do better without me there Rawfuls lol.

Sounds good to me. Even if you dont make any. Lol

 

[Foxy]

I suppose HERB won't be too important for these PR's but there are some placings that were interesting and valuable, such as Ace's good ****. He should be considered more for a PR now.

I assume Wilmington on April 4th will be factored in? I'm almost certainly going to be there.

Anyone else going?

 

[Smith]

Well Foxy...I was but I don't have a ride.
then I got one, then my Mom put me on a ball and chain.

 

[DUB]

I'd like to make it out to Wilmington considering that's probably where I'll be going to school next year.

And Peach... gay? Booooo

Marth/Shiek however, yes.

 

[Rawfuls]

You'll do better without me there Rawfuls lol.

i dont know what you're responding to T.T

 

[Boss Hog (stack it up)]

since it's going to be hard for me to make it onto the power rankings with just teams alone- next NC tourney I go to, I will money match whoever is ranked 5-10 or below to show NC how to stack it up.

 

[Dr Peepee]

i dont know what you're responding to T.T

The thing you said about not doing well in tournament lol. You might even get that cash.

Uh oh, Twig bro gettin real.

 

[Foxy]

i'll mm you!

whenever we go to the same tourney.

 

[Boss Hog (stack it up)]

ok, whens the next tourney?

 

[Red the Ghost]

Wilmington Classic bro, and then whatever's hosted in the summer.

I've got some work to do, but HERB helped me out. Wilmington smash crew is gonna get too good soon.

 

[-ACE-]

I'll MM you stacks. Ganon won't hesitate to stack it up.

 

[Sengin]

Especially yours, ACE.
