[Fuzzyness]

I don't think you're top yet prof, not saying this out of ego but you still got a bit to learn

I'm not with this list business, it's a test of ego

 

[grayfox]

rofl the banter of saying someone shouldn't be on the list down to ego banter then refusing to give a list for ego banter FOR THE BANTER!!!

 

[Retroking2000]

i will just have to go to a tourney/ranbat ro test my recent skill level now . its only far since i havent been attending stuff.

Roooooooooooooooooooooofffflllll

 

[VA]

I think the top 5 are these, not listed in any order.

Charles, Pro, Frost, Z, VA.

Personally I still think charles is the best. But I think anyone in that 5 can beat him or each other...we really need a Power Rankings panel or something. It's stupid not having an official ranking. I know we have ranbats but they are poor judgements as people like myself/edwin/frost/Z can't make them regularly. Obviously they are fun for ranking londoners and people in the north west or whatever, but I'd really like to see the setting up of an official power ranking.

Panel system works best imo.

 

[Mr P]

oh jeese lol. There's no way to say who is where right now in the UK, people have been playing only within their own regions so we dont know who is where or what is what overall all you can do is speculate about positions because everyone will have region bias. Only way to know who is around the top is start having proper tournies again. And as for actually having official listings, we've already tried that and it doesn't work it's a ******** idea.

Yeah, what Charles said about ego.

 

[Aiko]

My Top 5:

1. Ryans Banter
2. Copelands Banter
3. Roys Banter
4. Ganon Banter
5. Ryans Banter....

discuss

Well I've been here for a while now and there was never any kind of rankings except some dumb point system which fizzled out after like 2 tournaments. They have power rankings all over the place, I don't think it's a dumb idea at all, if anyone actually cares let me know, otherwise I'll just drop it.

 

[Aiko]

i'm pretty interested in this, but doing it effectively is difficult, plus people cant attend everything...

 

[VA]

no, it's not something to do with attendance. power rankings can easily be panel based. So electing like 4/5 people to discuss a UK power rankings and having a top 10 would be really nice imo. it really isn't that hard, we just need a couple of bigger UK events then we can start it off.

 

[Aiko]

we did try this a long time ago, don't know if you were active back then. Either way I'm up for it but we need to nominate unbiased people who have a good knowledge of the scene.

Most people will be biased. so thats already a problem. People who are most involved in the scene and know a fair bit about it (this is not related to game playing skill) atm would be:

Myself
Fuzzyness
Prof Pro
VA

The reason I cant nominate Mr P is because he hasn't been to many events lately. Although if he attended a few more recent ones, he would certainly get my nomination. AmcD would be nominated too if he got a little more involved in recent events.

I'm pretty sure after Global Gaming, we could form a 4-5 person panel and vote. What do you reckon?

 

[Retroking2000]

Response to aiko/VA post

im up for the official rankings .

from the posts above sounds like a good idea to me.

who cares about ego !?!

if the said person has been active in the scene and winning he has the right to be proud

 

[Bullet Bill]

I COPY SCOTTS

am I cool now?

 

[Mr P]

I just want to address this point, how is it that i haven't been to many recent events ? The only thing i missed was the last uk tournie but i was at the one before that, aside from that i've been at a lot of smashfests including mengfest and the last one phil had.

 

[Aiko]

I COPY SCOTTS

am I cool now?

wha ?

 

[AmcD]

Personally I don't think the rankings will work because we don't have enough tournaments and when we do people generally don't attend but by all means attempt to make one work.
Also I'm pretty sure we all know were everyone would be placed.

 

[Aiko]

are you attending Global Gaming Tournament?

 

[Mr P]

are you attending Global Gaming Tournament?

No, but even if i was how would it be of much relevance in anything to do with rankings? the only people who are going is south, it's basically london with a couple of people from the north. No one from scotland is attending.

EDIT: we all pretty much know where we all are within our own regions, it's crazy that people are even thinking about ranking projects without us even having any national scale tournies.

 

[Cpt.Zeppo]

Im pretty sure Robby suggested it just because he aims to gain renown as UK's best player! Fair play to him hes got banter just for attesting to such a smug venture!!

Whole power rankings idea makes me belch I think its ridiculous, but if you guys want to go through with it feel free hahahahahaha banter!! I nominate myself for the panel!!

 

[Professor Pro]

I don't think you're top yet prof, not saying this out of ego but you still got a bit to learn

I agree, I still have a few things to learn.
I think the thing you need to improve is summoning up the ability to beat me.
But seriously I dont agree with you saying I am not top 5 in the UK cos I am....NICE BIG EGO!

i will just have to go to a tourney/ranbat ro test my recent skill level now . its only far since i havent been attending stuff.

also does anyone london based have a spare memory card on the GC with PAL(full completed data+)willing to me borrow it to pratice with.

havent been playing marth only sheik /fox

thx in advance

I can give you the data for the memory card but I cant give you a free memory card, well not free anyway meaning you will have to pay the MONEYZ. looool You play fox and sheik now. I like the sheik vs fox matchup. If you play your sheik against me, GONNA GET *****! If you play your fox against me, GONNA GET *****! If you play your marth against me...................................GONNA GET *****!

I am up for rankings, people get nice ego boost and cockYness will come into it and peoples dreams being shattered and feelings hurt when there position is stripped from them. No arguing though, just shattered dreams.

No, but even if i was how would it be of much relevance in anything to do with rankings? the only people who are going is south, it's basically london with a couple of people from the north. No one from scotland is attending.

EDIT: we all pretty much know where we all are within our own regions, it's crazy that people are even thinking about ranking projects without us even having any national scale tournies.

Lets all drop the idea because Zeppo, Mr P and the Scottish aint coming.

Its meant to be a national tournament, not just a london thing. Its based in Birmingham too, which is fairly central to UK

 

[Bullet Bill]

Personally I don't think the rankings will work because we don't have enough tournaments and when we do people generally don't attend but by all means attempt to make one work.
Also I'm pretty sure we all know were everyone would be placed.

Agreed. There is no point. All it does is make the best players in the UK argue over who is better than who. There are ranking battles in London and NW. There is a tournament in Birmingham coming up. Proove if you're the best by winning these. No johns

 

[Aiko]

its not about seeing who is the best. Its about putting people in ranking. It doesn't take a genious to say whos best at the moment, and a single tournament won't change that.

 

[Mr P]

Lets get a national ranking based on london biweeklies, probs the most accurate method imo.

if we decided to do a national one lets put grayfox ahead of me, phil and AMCD since he went to that last manchester thing and got third. Of course before that he was bad though coz he didnt attend anything. currently i think davemans is the worst though since hes not been to anything in forever

 

[VA]

Aiko you are involved in scene etc. but I think Z has a greater knowledge of the players and the game as a whole. imo pro doesn't know enough about the players in the community and the 4/5 should be

me, frost, Z, P, Charles.

 

[Retroking2000]

VAs post .

that list is based on skill/knowledge of smash .

looks very accurate to me .

 

[AmcD]

The panel should be 1 person from each region.

 

[VA]

Yeah I think Z, AmcD/Aiko (one or the other), Fuzz are essential. I don't really know whether you need me on there but I can't think of any other major regions. Are people actually wanting to set this up because I will begin to set about it properly if you are...

 

[Aiko]

it should probs be part of the UK thread (the real one, not the banter version)

 

[COEY]

i agree alan, and if you want someone with a long time knowledge of the community from the NW, i think me or joe should hold some weight. especially seeing how we've been to every melee tourney since AR1.
meaning we've been in the community longer than 2 ppl on that list to start with. i dont see why after over 2 years of being part of this scene we still dont get any recognition. i mean looking through the last few pages we havent been mentioned not even once.

 

[Bullet Bill]

Oh come on people this is ******** and pointless. Pointless because Melee in the UK remains to be predictable as **** with the only new addition to the top players being p.pro. ******** because people are already argueing and disagreeing with everyone. Euan's even brought Davemans into it (again) . And No Euan you thick turd I didn't say that the London ranbats and the NW ranbats were the only way to be ranked in the UK.

Edit- cos it's elitist Will
