Ok, to keep this thread active, and to actually further WI, I've come up with a ranking system, that is not only better than PR, but doesn't incite continual arguing over who's better. I wouldn't even call it a ranking system. Some of you might laugh at this, but what if we had a tier system in WI?
WI has at least 30 active smashers, more than most states our size. We've got big ranges of skill ranging from The Top, to the Middle, to thsoe just getting started. Alot of us place around the same, and can beat each other every other tourney, to where we are all about the same level. This is why I thought of the tier system. We would have a panel, same as a power ranking, but instead of ranking people, we would group them according to their skill.. For Example. This is just an exapmle
Top Tier
Tapion
High Tier
Crashman
KSSB
Hayate
Mid-High Tier
Fastest
Spikes
Puffinator
Sauce
Lone
EoF
Quaz
ect
The names for each individual tier would be in no particular order, I.E. Quaz is prob better th an EoF, but he is under EoF just as a list, and not who is better.
I think this would be a great way for new WI players to gauge themselves as to where they stand, but at the same time, we don't go the lame path of Power Rankings.
