Being sarcastic and pointing out the obvious.
this is pretty much exactly what I meant
Would have made more sense if you didn't try to relate it to the color DK you chose, just made you sound completely stupid to be honest.

Zatch your second definition of sandbagging is flawed imo. When I mained Mario that doesn't mean I sandbagged every time I played against one of Mario's bad match-ups.

What do you mean it's flawed? It's another interpretation that I was assuming, based on recurring contexts suggesting it. I almost always go with the first, as it's accepted to be the better definition.

Also, I should mention this: if you know how to play in Mario's bad match-ups, then my second interpretation still holds. You're not at as big a setback as someone who deliberately picks a character because they know that the character is bad in an MU, and they know that they are inexperienced with said character.:applejack:

Oh, and it should be noted that deficits do not only apply to match-ups in particular. Picking MK, SDing to your last stock, and having to start with your damage at 200% satisfies my suggestion thoroughly, regardless of practicality.

Not entirely sure what the point is this is when AIB has a perfectly functional ladder system already with far more players. Might I add that most of the best wifi players will be on it starting next season (month) so if you want the best competition I suggest you head there.

Yeah, you have a valid reason to be seeking an alternative.

ATT: Zatch

AIB ladder is seriously not that bad. I haven't encountered a single douchy player yet. Granted the current one is a joke ladder and the real one starts next month but still.


Also this particular system is very flawed anyway. It basically rewards farming the worst players since no matter who you beat the reward/loss is the same.

I caught on to it, I was just saying that it's stupid.

Not that bad relative to what? I didn't say it was bad, I just said I don't like it. I'd rather withhold the reason why I dislike it so much, if you don't mind.:applejack:

Which is partially why I haven't considered joining yet.

Same reason I didn't consider joining.

If this is going to work and become as active as AIB (which will no doubt draw out the best players to join it) we need to devise a system similar to the AIB ladder. By beating higher ranked players (those with better wins) you get more points, and beating lower ones nets you less.

Also there is a thing called diminishing returns meaning if you choose to keep playing the same player over and over you get even less points each time for winning.

I would love to see this become serious but a lot of work and planning will be needed. Kudos to Vinyl for the effort thus far.

Other reason I didn't join was because I didn't feel like playing let alone for a ladder ranking. Though it does seem rather, basic.:applejack:

I wish I could scream. But whatever, Updating later.

This time, doing on a piece of frikin' paper, lol. I can barely organize this list with so many.

I give thanks to the people that are using the commands in bold. Makes things go more faster for me.

I'll edit in all of my matches into this post in bold if that'll make it easier, Vinyl.

Later, during school haha.
