If nothing else, I believe it could hurt his chances just by the simple 'If we give you this special privilege, then everyone else will try and get it too'. Or basically, if he gets in simply by what he said here, despite how true it may be and despite how much he truly deserves it, there's a pretty decent chance that others may try the exact same thing to get in; claiming how great they are and other such stuff, whether it's actually true or not. That will eventually get aggravating, and it may eventually come to a point where if someone else who truly does deserves it tries this method, they won't have a chance because the BRoomers so sick of seeing the blogs with these requests.There's not a single Ganon main in the SBR. We Ganons are such a crucial part of the metagame and are the embodiment of competitive play, and yet none of us are in the SBR. What's up with that?
In all seriousness, I remember seeing NEO was not SBR and thinking "That's odd." Now I see this and I think the same thing. I fully support you, Pierce, and I don't know why everyone is saying this will hurt your chances.

I know. I've read up on older discussions and all, though.Be careful saying stuff like that bro, you haven't been purple for long.
Like.... I have less than 1000 posts.Requirements To Be In The SBR (lolsike)

☆ He might had used hax to get in. =P ☆jumpman, how did you get in then?![]()
☆ I think you were thinking Atomsk. ☆Okay then I'm thinking of someone else.
Dude. As someone who voluntarily left the SBR, I'm telling you - it's not worth it. Intelligent discussion does not take place. Many people there seem like their lifetime goal is to either derail discussion or halt any progress whatsoever that doesn't coincide with things they already believe, like Overswarm and those who would happily fellate him for his point of view. It's a good thing he isn't in charge of the place anymore but honestly, it's the same arguments about the unsolvable fundamental problems with Brawl and Brawl tournaments cycling over and over and over until the apocalypse. It's a mind**** in there. At least in the boards you aren't surrounded by people who have any reason to feel elitist, so it's easier to ignore the stupid people.
You. Are. Not. Missing. Out.
Watch like 5 ppl from the SBR come in to try to dispute this, because they don't want their lack of credibility to be exposed.
Let me get this straight to you again. There are many people back there who are amazing at this game and know what they're doing.
But the place sucks. You want to know what all of the pros have to think about a certain high level matchup? Well too bad, because people do not go in depth on matchups there. You want to try bringing it up? Get told by ****in everybody that the only way you can be an expert on some matchup is to main one of the characters, and that no-one else in the room can do so either. So no indepth matchup analysis for you. Constructive threads are not made in the SBR. They would rather argue over the best set of rules for the community, how much influence the SBR should have over the community, whether certain gay tactic in Brawl should be limited or banned, or how to ban/what to do, if anything, against Metaknight, the counterpick system, or MK within the CP system.
It's a depressing place to be. Stay outside where there's some fresh air at least.
EDIT: And for what it's worth, when I was a member, I voted to bring you in when you were a candidate (back before anyone and their mother was allowed in anyhow, when there were like 40 or 50 people... the place probably has like 120 or more mofo's now)
lol more people complaining about the tier list.It's because the SBR-B is a joke.
Have you seen the tier list?
Falcon over Link and Ganon?
Zelda lower than Sheik and other characters as bad as Sheik?
A ****ing joke.
Seriously.
Isn't sky' still in the SBR or am I mistaken?Jumpman, the token black sbr guy
we are not fooled. we demand more african american representation. pierce is african american btw

lol some more people takings baits.lol more people complaining about the tier list.
Beware this is filled with hyperbole, but not sarcasm.Stuff and such.
What? lol. Sorry, I really like you, FMOI, and you're a cool guy, but this is BS.I was wondering what happened with your rank. I was going to come in here and say the SBBR pretty much lets anyone in based on a "friend of a friend" basis but I guess my theory was actually right after all. (Who da thunk it?) Despite past disputes with you, I do agree with what you're saying, they pretty much are letting everyone and their grandma in now, especially in the past three months or so. What probably weirds me out the most though is how I'm seeing people I knew during the pre-Brawl days who haunted the character discussion threads like I did and now are in the SBBR and they DON'T EVEN PLAY SMASH COMPETITIVELY. WTF? Honestly, I think the SBBR should be reserved for the top players, note worthy MODS (which are usually one in the same), and "experts" of certain characters.
if you can answer my question, i will recommend you to the others for SBR membership.Link to original post: [drupal=1840]Why am I not in the SBR-B?[/drupal]
Okay, so I place extremely well in tournament, considering I play Marth exclusively. Marth vs. MK has a 65-35 match-up, and I live in a MK infested state. Furthermore, there are barely any Marth mains representing in SBR. I wouldn't even be so upset if Neo, Mike_Haze, or Roy_R were in there, but NONE of them are. Instead, we have Emblem Lord, whom I love dearly, but who doesn't play this game, and BarDull. BarDull is talented, but there's no East Coast Marth representation, now that EL has QUIT the SBR.
Now, way back last year, before MLG bought Smashboards, I filled out an application to join the SBR, I was being highly considered to join. I frequently post knowledgably in both Marth boards and character discussion. I place well at tournaments, losing generally to TOP LEVEL MKS (Shadow, Inui, DMBrandon, Ksizzle, Anti). I've beaten these players before, and I am extremely knowledge about the game, how to play, it's mechanics, and the inner workings of many characters (probably more than most people in this region). Before any of those applicants were accepted though, MLG got bought, and JV purged the backroom and split it into two. While I approve of this, no similar recruitment has been done since, so I got kicked to the curb.
I get really mad too, because I see large numbers of players I'm quite obviously better than (no names, that would be rude, and while I'm ranting, I won't be rude) get accepted. I understand that the lead TOs of various regions become SBR, because they have a significant impact on the ruleset their region plays by. Still, sometimes, I'm just confused. I'm generically helpful, skilled, and I know my stuff.
A lot of time, people IN the SBR tell me that I'm not missing out on anything, and nothing really happens, but obviously that's not true. I STRIVE for intelligent discussion, and you know how hard that is to come by on the boards. Furthermore, this only annoys me more, because if the people in the SBR think that they aren't contributing and don't want to contribute, then at least let me in so I can. I've been eagerly trying to get in the SBR for nearly a year now, and it's yet to happen.
It's frustrating, because SBR is invite only, so I don't want to be rude and just be like, "Uh, hey guys, remember me." But seriously, it's annoying because I really want to be a member, and I have to just sit here and twiddle my thumvbs, hoping to get recognized. It's even worse that other amazing players in my region like ADHD aren't even in SBR.
Anyway, I'm glad I got to rant here. Maybe if I'm lucky, some SBRoomers will see this and go "Oh snap, we forgot Pierce." Haha, as Boss would say "Then you woke up."
. . . You know, I appreciate you, because you've motivated me to get so much better at this game. I can't WAIT for our rematch, and I pray you're at Genesis.tl;dr--You lost to a Pokemon Trainer at CoT4, which means that you can't be in it. ;p
In all seriousness,though, you seem like a good candidate to me, though.
This was a pretty good idea. I didn't send a PM, I was able to fit my request within the character limit. I thought this feature was disabled, but perhaps they enabled it once they split SBR in two. Anyway, it's worth a shot.I'm not sure if there's a character limit, but aside from the applications they had a long while back, did you simply try going to your User CP and clicked "Join Group" for SBR-B, and gave an explanation of why you thought you should be there? Again, I'm not sure if there's a character limit for how much you write, but it's as easy as sending a PM to the people who head those rooms [Marc and Hylian] about why you should be admitted and then under the "why you should join" section of the join group put "please see Private Message". If you honestly think you have a shot, then I don't see why that wouldn't work.
Thanks. It does make me feel better, but I still want to be in SBR.REALLY LONG POST
I don't think that's a reason to "quit whining." If anything, I think that's part of the reason why it took so long for Sonic to get his proper recognition. I think that since the SBR's most noted projects are the ruleset and the tierlist, considering that the ruleset isn't really going to dynamically change unless something we find changes the way the game is played, we need accurate knowledge about characters to create an accurate tier list.There's no Sonics in the Fake SBR either, Pierce.
Quit whining.
Good looking out. You sir, are a beast btw.Saturday night on the way back from Viridian City, me and some other 100% Juice members were just discussing how Pierce would definitely be a good SBR canidate.
Doubt it. I'm not in any way trying to be cocky as I say this, but it's not as if I'm not moderately known in the Smash community. Just looking at my post count will tell you I've been here a while and said a few things. Considering that I don't even get post count credit for posting in Regional Socials, it's mostly intelligent stuff. Seeing a guy with 2000+ posts get into MBR isn't going to blatently encourage that smash apprentice to start ranting in a blog about how they have no credibility, but aren't in the SBR.If nothing else, I believe it could hurt his chances just by the simple 'If we give you this special privilege, then everyone else will try and get it too'. Or basically, if he gets in simply by what he said here, despite how true it may be and despite how much he truly deserves it, there's a pretty decent chance that others may try the exact same thing to get in; claiming how great they are and other such stuff, whether it's actually true or not. That will eventually get aggravating, and it may eventually come to a point where if someone else who truly does deserves it tries this method, they won't have a chance because the BRoomers so sick of seeing the blogs with these requests.
tl;dr: If he gets in other people may try too, and then eventually it'll just be a bunch of spam attempts to get in. Remember, people are idiots like that.
I know Ninjalink and consider him a friend. Furthermore, I saw him on Saturday. He was still black thenEither that or he hires a black guy to do his videos on youtube.
Add in: I'm pretty sure Ninjalink isn't black.
Well said, but all that being said, I'd rather be on the inside. Also this also has me bring up a good point. If there really are so many problems inside SBR, I'd still rather be inside to see them, and possibly help the situation, then be out here whining and complaining. If I have the knowledge to contribute, why would I idly sit out here complaining about the tier list? I'd much sooner complain that I didn't have my say. Note: This is not in any way trying to suggest that I would join the SBR and start complaining about the way it's run.REALLY LONG POST
. . . trolling or no, I can't resist a little tier debate (it's something I enjoy to do, but the tier list threads are always full of spam, and you can't get anywhere on them. You gotta go to the individual character discussions where there are 9001 people trying to say something irrelevant/off-topic)It's because the SBR-B is a joke. Have you seen the tier list? Falcon over Link and Ganon? Zelda lower than Sheik and other characters as bad as Sheik? A ****ing joke. Seriously.
If the ingredients are part of the requirement, then at minimum two. Just one broiler to broil the broiler that broils broilers, and the broiler that broils broilers that's getting broiled.if you can answer my question, i will recommend you to the others for SBR membership: How many broilers does it take to broil a broiler that broils broilers
Wow, that's seriously sad bro. I respect those who actually take the time to study and become knowledgeable about low tier characters. IMO, that shows true dedication.Hey I know what your going throught but more. Man I know pichu inside and out and I discovered alot of stuff about pichu that could have helped his metagame alot but, I geyss some Mod just got tried of me and desiced to kick me out of the melee boards knowing I was writing an advanced pichu guide and a video thread for the ice climber both being lost to time at this point. The pichu Boards died the day after and there is only a post every 1-2 month/s
I am a very techical pichu how wants to share what he knows but got a F*** you
How were you whinning? you you spend a year waiting and you are more than readly for it
Yo dis dood is riteHonestly... why do you care so much about being there?
At any rate, this blog will only hurt your chances.
I'm older than you.Poor youth that don't understand the concepts of dreams, aspirations, and blogging. tis a shame.
Maybe you're physically older, but with these words, you definitely are younger than him mentally.I'm older than you.
You sir are an homosecksual.
