Hello fellow Smashers,

I'm working on a Smash guide of sorts for Android, sort of like SmashPad. Since Praxis doesn't seem to be working on an Android version of his app, I want to fill the void for all the Android-using Smashers out there.

That said, I'm starting some requirements gathering, and I want to know what would be useful for competitors, or even commentators, to have in an app.

As the title asks: what sort of information would be helpful to have on hand at a tournament? I should specify that I am focusing on supporting Smash 4 at first, with other Smash games to follow.

Here's what I'm thinking so far, and maybe you all can elaborate with your own ideas:
  • CM Smash was apparently very useful at EVO, so for sure have up-to-date info on customs
  • Player rankings with used characters
  • Character breakdowns, matchups, and strats (maybe relevant youtube content?)
  • Tourney ladder info
  • Tourney event info, including directions, event timing, maybe reminders for the event
I honestly think that would be plenty to keep me busy at first, but please add your own ideas too. Thanks in advance to everyone who contributes!

Is the information you're looking for restricted to rulesets and tournament logistics? Or does it also extend to things like mindset and preparation?
