We need to get stuff done

[Isatis]

Spoiler

rPSI don't berate me because I lost a long post and had to start over

It's kinda annoying having to sit around and have the Smash Lab be a bit useless besides discussing some mechanics here and there.

I propose we get things going around here again. We have a lot of talented members in the Smash Lab, and for those that don't really feel like contributing, we might as well tell them to leave or kick them out. In fact I kinda want to convince rPSI if nobody posts in this topic to say where they are or what they're doing we kick them out anyway >_>

Here's what we need to finish, and I'll sticky and tag these as important:

1. Standard Terms List 2.0
   
   Starturds, where art thou? Anyway, this is really 3 months overdue and honestly, are we almost done with this, other than some minor edits that are needed? If need be we have a ****ing Skype group now to discuss this in, or at least finish it off in this thread. Let this be priority #1 since it actually seems like we're almost done.
   
   

   We should assign at least one or two individual lab representatives to each character to test for things at the request of people. Or to become experts in the technical stuff of the characters. I would say one rather than two because two people would make sure and keep tabs to stay productive and they could bounce ideas off each other etc.
   
   We also need to do our April Fools Tier List and Matchup Chart based on Level 9 CPUs in tournament mode.
   
   But I think the first idea would be a really good PR move. The second would be hilarious. And also a good PR move

   I actually really like the idea, although I'm not sure we have enough members for that. Maybe we create teams? Each team for a character would have like... four or five people, and each person would be on more than one team or...something.
   
   I am here, and I've just been conducting independent side-projects (not even big enough to post here). My next project is to determine exactly which characters Dedede can CG up the slopes of YI:M... it's already started, but I've put it off for a bit.

2. Frame/Hitbox Data Repository
   
   There have been countless call-outs from the Brawl community wondering what the hell happened to this. Phase 1 looks 97% done (though it's my fault I'm lagging behind I guess - but I'm almost done with Olimar and his stupid subactions), yet phase 2 hasn't even been touched and phase 3 hasn't even been started. wat. Let's release this in each 3 phases instead of 1 huge package. Every time we finish, look over each phase, etc. let's put this in a sticky in competitive Brawl discussion. To anyone that's signed up in the frame data stuff: what's the progress in your regards? To the newcomers that were accepted into the Smash Lab recently: want to help us out?

Let's get this done as soon as we can. Hopefully with the new Skype chat we can get this done quick.

Would it be fair to add suggestions of stuff I feel should also be done?

Or would that overload the docket

 

[Isatis]

go ahead

i'll add it in

Callin' me+lux for ICs reps. I mean heck, we're already 90% there anyway.

[KayLo!]

I've had Zelda's complete frame data done for a while, and me/Prime finished all of Pikachu's a long time ago.... I'll write a reminder for myself to add it to the Doc.

Other than that, I tend to work individually on Zelda/Pika stuff, but if there're projects here that really need people, I'll try to help here & there.

I decline this invitation as it would require me to post on the IC boards which I can't do anymore for religious reasons.

Guest should be a more than capable replacement though.

Teams are a great idea and I think we can finish this sooner if we actually do teams. I know a lot of tedious, so let's go with teams.

So far:

Bowser: HotGarbage
Captain Falcon: Lux
Diddy Kong: T-Block
Donkey Kong: Amazing Ampharos
Falco: Lux
Fox: Lux
Ganondorf: Lux
Ice Climbers: EA
Ike: Mr. Escalator
Jigglypuff: T-Block
King Dedede: Mr. Escalator
Kirby: HotGarbage
Link: Lux
Lucario: Phi1ny3
Lucas: rPSIv
Luigi: Lux
Mario: Mr. Escalator
Marth: E_Alert
Meta Knight: E_Alert
Mr. Game & Watch: Amazing Ampharos
Ness: Mr. Escalator
Olimar: Bionic
Peach: HotGarbage
Pikachu: KPrime
Pit: HotGarbage
Squirtle: Amazing Ampharos
Ivysaur: Amazing Ampharos
Charizard: Amazing Ampharos
ROB: Indigo Jeans
Samus: HotGarbage
Sheik: Phi1ny3
Snake: rPSIv
Sonic: rPSIv
Toon Link: Indigo Jeans
Wario: rPSIv
Wolf: Lux
Yoshi: Yikarur
Zelda: KayLo!
ZSS: Indigo Jeans

I can help with Marth, Meta Knight, Mr. G&W, Pit, Snake, and Sonic if need be. I'll update the list if anyone wants to help on those regards.

When I said teams, I meant individual people with a member from each respective community or two. If that means we need to recruit, it means we need to recruit. There really shouldn't be any reason for a person to be a team member of more than two characters imo.

Also, which Lux is that? I'm assuming it's Luxor.

 

[Kinzer]

Uhm, if it helps in any bit, you can give me all the responsibility for Sonic and give rPSI one less thing to worry about.

Admittingly, I haven't done much of anything except use this place for a resource. I would be lying if I said it was all laziness though. This may be a personal thing but some of the big projects here I don't really feel qualified to contribute or make an attempt and I'd rather not mess up anything for anyone else so really I just sit back, keep up with reading, and do my own little projects here and there.

... I really would like to see the standard terms list finished sometime though! I know I am capable of helping with that at least.

Also, how is the Skype chat so far? I haven't had the need to use any other type of message/chat program besides AIM, but if it's showing promise I can make one for the sake of progress.

... *Grumble.* I have been so busy with preparing for college and local tournaments. I suppose so it at least looks like I still keep up with this place, I'll go ahead and take care of some requests for ZZS... which which were back a month ago at this rate. >_< Tomorrow is just my step-father's birthday so really nothing major should give me any excuse.

Oh, and I should ask Flamey what he wanted about Lucario/Misc.

I'll edit this post later to the frame-data threads. It'll probably go up later tonight if not early tomorrow.

gotcha

the only downside is, if there are people in that community who don't know PSA, we're gonna have to spend some time with them teaching them the basics.

 

[Pikabunz]

I finished phase 1 and 2 of Pika's data. Waiting on phase 3.

 

[T-block]

why would you not put me on PT you jerk =( oh they're who did the frame data... sign me up for PT then ^^

i wouldn't mind helping with lucas either

btw, this is just to handle requests and such right? so we shouldn't be afraid of signing up for as many teams as possible?

 

[rPSIvysaur]

Me and T-Block on Lucas obviously.
Optionally I can be placed on Game and Watch, but we already have Mr. Esc and AA for him.
Mr. Esc and myself on Ness?
Kinzer and me on Sonic?
I'm also cool with Wolf.

 

[T-block]

if sheik or olimar need people i can help there too

 

[Luxor]

I did those characters, so it better be me lol :D

I can get my whole stage boundary thing finished up soon too.

 

[phi1ny3]

I thought it was done b/c of Dant's little page for the phase 1 of hitbox/frame data shenanigans.

gotcha

Actually, this is what I've been doing, it's been really helpful to get collaboration on stuff like this, and I find it easier to teach this and let them have the resources to learn something for themselves (while chipping away at frame data and the like) than to go out of my way and do frame advance, since I'm hardly around my Wii

 

[Mr. Escalator]

I posted in the other thread about the Character teams briefly, but I feel I should post here too. I'm willing to handle a seat on the G&W side of things, but I'm not sure what other character I'm willing to take up. I'm up in the air with Ness/Bowser/PT. PT already has adequate rep from other lab members though, so it narrows it down. Feel free to assign me to Bowser/Ness where needed.

Ideally, I feel I should be with an active member on both teams, as things are a bit tricky on my end at the moment. A2ZOMG as a partner for G&W should work, since I'm not sure if AA is any more active than I in the lab.

TBH, the joke tier list should be relatively easy, and I think we can juggle both of these projects at the same time.
