It kind of goes in circle here because who makes the major tournaments and who are the major players that rank in said tournaments? That is to say, if I get last place in a tournament but still go to them on a regular basis, my opinion really won't matter that much when it comes to deciding rules.That basic standard was not made my the SBR. It was made from tournaments.
You said earlier that the SBR used to do things in the past or whatever but I don't really know where you are getting that from. The 2003-2006 SBR was very inactive. The only thing they did was produce a tier list every year and often months would go by before one post was made in the SBR. Brawl was pretty much out by the time we started making rule lists and those rule lists were heavily influenced by the community standard.
So in short, you guys made the standard, not us.
If anything, the only thing that the 2006 SBR did that the 2009 SBR doesn't do was claim they had authority and, if you ask me, that's better than providing a grocery list of what they did do better. It's nice that you want to view us as equals but, underneath it all, equality is a myth when you go by sociological and even biological standards. It's like in this conversation, we may have a lot in common in the real world but because we're interacting on this forum and you're a MOD, you're technically better than me and your opinion holds more weight. As I said in another post, even if it's something a dumb as post count, join date, or the color of your name, that's how a "hierarchy" of opinions is formed on web forums in the first place.
@ Spadefox:
That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that there is a hierarchy of opinions that exists on this site and the idea that "everyone's opinions matter here because they play Smash" is garbage.
