This thread is a great idea. The sig idea was great too! Now more people will know about it.

Keep it up mentors *grouphug*
Good job on the banner guys. I really like it.
Thanks guys. :) Thank SuSa especially, since he actually made the banner.

You'd be super-overloaded with pupils, man! Don't worry, we'll find people for them. Thanks for the offer though. We're really looking for specialists in certain characters because they're often very experienced and know the specific character's community well.

At least Samus, Link, Falco, and Snake?

Yup, the mentor names in the OP are now linked to their profile. For super-convenience! So now nobody should have a problem finding the right person, even if they change their name without telling me.

Dunno if a suggestion should go here or the Q&A thread, but why can't we have a section that tells every successful tutoring a mentor has had. Like a section and below it are events like

So and so person successfully mentored so and so person


Or something like that

I agree w/ the above post.


Another suggestion is a 'Route to Tournament Ready'; this could be for mentors and trainees who aren't sure where to start and need a nudge in the right direction. I figured the best way to go abt it was 'the first wifi match' where I gauged his skill level, then a talk about the terms and strategies, stage discussion, and general tips, then 'the practice rounds' where the info is put to the test. Then tips and comments on actual tournaments along w/ the various tournament-only things he could expect to see like GF,WF and LF, MMs, and crews. Lastly my aim is to go to the same tournament w/ my trainee and stay w/ him throughout the day to coach, support and challenge. I feel this route worked well as I am on the last step and I feel my trainee has a good foundation to grow on which is what we're aiming for I believe? I could elaborate a lot on this and wouldn't mind doing so but this isn't the time nor the place.

Hello all!

I'm new to the boards and this is my first post. I decided I would join the Mentoring Program and followed the instructions to post that I have requested a Mentor for Zelda. (Venomout)

First time for everything WHOO!!! :bluejump:


As for who I successfully tutored, all of them end up dropping off the face of SWF when I start mentoring someone so yeah...

Did you try PMing them recently? Or have they just not been on in a while?

No they just haven't been on in a while.


Like this guy who had a Croconaw avatar and he just stopped after having like 25 posts and a million PMs

Though Infinite Emerald didn't want me tutoring anymore so I guess that's the only successful one I've had so far?

Great suggestions guys, I'll work on them later when I have less homework to do. :urg:

Ugh... I need a marth mentor...
I don't want albert, I want mikehaze D:
1. You already have a mario mentor, so I would suggest taking it one at a time.
2. Um... is there a particular reason you don't want Albert? Just wondering.

Is there a trolling mentor? 'Cause if there is here is my curriculum for alumni:

Trolling Etiquette 108
Trolling Through the Ages 101
Trolling in Deep Sea 138 (For advanced students only)
Bridge Design 101


My experience was heavily gained while in the Puff Boards during my Puff days.

Generally all hacking mentoring will go to highfive, unless some problem arises there. Also, you're already being mentored by Dynomite in Wario, so it might be good to try to limit yourself to one mentorship at a time. Not a requirement, but recommended.

Great idea, guys. I just PM'd Latias in hope of some Ness mentoring. Thanks for reaching out to those that want help improving. :p
No problem; thanks for supporting the program!

I was gonna VM but he doesnt have a box on his profile o.O
Yeah plus some people don't read VMs, so PMing is probably better, albeit slightly less convenient.

Fair enough. Like I said, I'd suggest finishing the mentoring you're already in, but you're not required to only do one at a time.
