Why does everyone copy Socal? Regional power rankings, Choice awards, best character threads, major tournament blowoffs... and the list continues. Is it because Socal is too cool? A trendsetter? discuss.

*AHEM*. I've closed several SoCal threads. NorCal, on the other hand, has yet to feel my wrath...

I do believe there's a reason why he said regional power rankings, Chillin. And if you actually looked at the threads, you'd notice that the other Pac West rankings copy verbatim (that means "word for word") from the SoCal thread.

So go troll somewhere else.

ROFL yeah neal just destroyed me. It's not like he ignored the fact that regional power rankings aren't an original idea, and several people not in Socal mentioned them in the original power rankings thread.

I mean, I'm surprised he took the time between making Chu Dat combo videos to even respond to me. I'm honored.

While regional power rankings might not be an original idea, we were the first to implement one. People can talk all they want about how they should organize a panel for their region in order to rank players, but we were the first to actually do that. In fact, it was the closure of our thread (along with NorCal's) that sparked the back room discussion on power rankings and the establishment of site-wide standards for ranking threads. Therefore, we win.

Nintendo wasn't the first company to think of using motion-sensing technology to control video games. But they were the first to bring the idea to market in a form desired by consumers. Therefore, Nintendo wins.

Thomas Edison didn't invent the light bulb. But he was the first to mass-produce incandescent light bulb and bring it to market. Therefore, Edison won.

See how this works?

And yes, it's amazing how much can be done in one day, isn't it?

mentioning an idea is vastly different from actually doing it. socal was the first to take action and do the regional power rankings. that's what matters.

and i think the people riled up about neal owning you were just doing so for humor purposes. like this:

**** CHILLINDUDE GOT OWNED

lolol



edit: my post is kind of obsolete considering that neal posted the same thoughts a minute before me

It's ok, Snap. Having a Berkeley genius post the same thing makes me feel good inside :).

And yes, Chillin, you win for the original national power rankings.

The rankings haven't been rid of, Nealdt merely put it in hibernation until the new list comes out because of apparent spam. LOL :)

you always talk like you know everything when you simply don't. For example, your pathetic posts on youtube saying DSF always owns me, he's only beaten me once at TG5
