Smash Cadet
it seems to me that in order to solve the melee vs brawl debate what we need to do is set a specific date and on that date we vote. The game with more votes gets to officially claim they have a higher fan base, which will encourage competitive players to play that particular smash game, encourage more tournaments to be held for that game, and overall have the same effect on both games that tier lists do to people's decisions on which character to play.
but i feel not everybody should be allowed to vote. the results of this poll would mainly effect those who are willing to drive to a tournament and compete. somebody who only plays with friends will remain unaffected by this so why should they be allowed to decide the fate of competitive smash? I have no idea how you would regulate this but if you have never competed in a smash tournament you should not be allowed to vote. there would also have to be ways to prevent people from using alt accounts to vote twice and whatnot.
anyway, thats my 2 cents. feel free to post how you think this debate should be solved or just turn this thread into another melee vs brawl thread if you like. personally i don't mind the multiple melee vs brawl threads as they help others make a decision for themselves.
