Smash Journeyman
Hello guys I am one of the smashers from the community of Puerto Rico that have been attending majors in the US some times I'm friends with HDL who IMO is the best link in melee
The reason I write this is the following. Last year at Apex there was a mini event which Involved Many Link players vs Low tier characters.. The event was cool but did not gathered the attention of many smashers until HDL came and made people wow for a brief moment. I have an Idea for a mini event/showcase of skill that should not consume a lot of time for planning or of the schedule of apex. But this could benefit the community, create hype for the stream etc etc.
After the event ( Link vs Stinks ) ended I spoke to some low tier players HDL and recently with Vman in his stream and asked him what he thought about participating in a real event where real skill is showcased by Pro playes using low tiers.. Both liked the Idea as I know other pro players will agree to participate. And people will actualy watch this and get hyped if the idea is well promoted prior to the event
The Idea proposal
What if we create a mini even to showcase skillfull low tier players, fighting the top community players!
This would be awesome and will not only get people hyped if they manage to win some matches, but most of the people would be rooting for the low tiers once they begin to watch upsets which they could happen
The benefit
for the community would be that it could encourage character variety in tournaments, ( because a dedicated player pulled it off some wins vs top tier character and players. It would also help those in need of certain direction of how to use the lesser know character. And the best i think, it will expose those Low tiers character and players to the stream, that most of the time since the dont get top 8, they dont get all the coverage they really need.
Logistics:
The event would consist of a crew battle between the low tiers and top tiers each player having to fight everyone participating. They would be awarded 1 point for each match win.
Depending of time constraints It could be either best of 3 meaning they get awarded 1 point for each win 2-0 or 2-1 meaning player who won gets 2 points and loser gets 0 or 1 if he won a match
Or it could be done only one match awarding the winner 1 point.
Now I mentioned everyone from one crew will fight the other crew since I know viewers would like to see the 5 pro low tier players face each of the top tiers character
For example
Low tier crew
1- Player A
2- Player B
3- Placer C
Top Tier Crew
1- Player D
2- Player E
3- Player F
The low tier would have the slight commodity of facing all opponets at once:
Player A fights ( players: D,E,F ) Points are awared
Player B Fights ( Players: D,E,F ) I think you get the point
If you want to understand the logistic better here is an example of a SSFIV international exibition

Rules are simple
Only neutral stages allowed and loser bans a stage.
No character changes allowed.
if for a reason its decided only 1 match to be played. An idea would be to do stage striking or Have the top tier character player to ban a stage and the Low tier player then picks a stage from the remaining neutral.
Your feed back on this would be greatly appreciated. After we get this officialy on the schedule
-------------------------
List of the ideal crew participants. I have 5 in mind for each crew but maybe we could add up to 7 players. I dont want to have a lot of participants because it will take more time and it just doesnt work.. Also I want quality in the low tier crew 0 risk that we could get a sloppy players that would imbalance the outcome.
Pro Low tier Character Players (Heroes)
HDL ( Best Link )

Hbox Jiggs
Armada Peach

I spoke to Alex about this and he wants to know what the community thinks and if this get people hyped it could get a greenlight and it would be included in the official schedule
Also PLEASE for the moment we dont want to concentrate in debating logistics or which character makes the cut, this is an invitational event of course. What we want from the community is to know if they support this and want this mini event to take place in the biggest tournament of smash
Many thanks for your time.
Also sorry for my english it is not my main language.
