UPDATED NORCAL POWER RANKINGS LIST (February 29)

[LunInSpectra]

NorCal Smash Power Rankings
Panelists: The Germ | Hyuga | LunInSpectra | Scamp | ShadowBTZO | Zoap |

So we know some of us have been teasing a lot of you and have been Very secretive of our opinions and beliefs over any specific ordered contemporary list and decided to surprise a select few and the whole community as well by revealing our new list without any warnings. It has been very difficult to compile a new consensus list based upon the very large amount of tournament results and opinions we've collected between our last ranking list and now. The list's changes may be controversial and we all know this may cause some angry breakouts to occur, but be forewarned that we did Not make Any decision easily.

We gave strong attention to the larger tournaments (NUB, SCC, 0C3) because every list we made revolved around a concept similar to the tournaments of much larger scale outside of the usual area. We all hope you like the new list, and would gladly take all of your opinions into consideration.

Have fun.

A name highlighted in Green denotes moving up.
A name highlighted in Red denotes moving down.
A name highlighted in Pink denotes a new addition.

Here is the Current Power Rankings List:

[djkarthik]

old post went here -neal

[LunInSpectra]

Look at that:

I'm below bob & germ by 1 freaking point.

[Zoap]

**** u lunin i hate u

[ShadowBTZO]

Good quotes Karthik, also to anyone who feels they were "cheated out of being on the list," you were not, we spent alot of time into these, if you aren't on here and want to be, then get out there and prove yourself, but remember, no johnzzz

[NintendoKing]

Pshhhh. Fuk that. . . .. .. . .... .... . . . . .

[Aftermath]

Where is Team Rocket?!

I demand a revote.

[Serendipity]

:( *looks around* pshhh watever! i'll get on that list! ROAr! T_T......

[HylianLord]

haha, and ian thought i would be on the list (ewwwwwwww no). zhu will hopefully prove he will not get last at blue ^^.

[KILLA.FOR.CASH.]

yay im on the list! i dont understand how the points are done... kawn has 41 points and i only have 36... why am i above him?

[ShadowBTZO]

yay im on the list! i dont understand how the points are done... kawn has 41 points and i only have 36... why am i above him?
Uh...you are below Kawn...check again, might've been a mistake corrected.

[KILLA.FOR.CASH.]

ohhh haha now you guys fixed it. it was messed up. yay lol now im 20 -___-


how are the points done? i want to know how i got on the list... sorry for my noobishness but i really have no idea about tournament rankings and such.. i just play the game lol

[ShadowBTZO]

The points go in descending order 1st place 25 points, 2nd place 24 points, etc...The panelists all made lists of their top 25 players, compiled them and points, tallied points, and there it is.

[tyderiumDS]

it seems all you have to do to get points is to go to tournaments and not suck. Looking forward to playing a lot of these guys at NCT2!

nintendoking seems sad.

[sidefx]

yay im on the list =D time to place better. and play better.

[HyugaRicdeau]

DEEP NORCAL:

7th
10th
11th
14th

ISS GON' RAIN.

TBH I think I'm kind of overrated. I can beat most of the people around me but I lose randomly too much.

[ProdigyKid]

LoL and by the looks of it we know who everyone's top 3 were, in exact order.

[choknater]

good list :)

funny thing, though, it looks like the bottom 15 are all interchangeable lol. =\ they all seem to be the same skill level. looks like it was tournament results that got them to where they are.

[Snap]

umm yeah art beat silent spectre so he should be above him.

[Nephilim]

This made my day.

Thanks to whoever voted for me.

[sidefx]

snap i hope youre joking. cause if you are el oh el.
if not.. then EL OH EL.

[Simna ibn Sind]

i must say i disagree with this....it VERY VERY much looks like points from placings at NCB events which are located at the bottom of norcal and miss out on lots of northerer norcal smashers...i cant say this list is a very good representation of norcal smash players...but if its a representation of the average of the ranks at every NCB event then its pretty close to being right

[Scamp]

Did you guys know that 27 is my lucky number?

[sidefx]

simna, those arent what people get at the biweeklies. you dont see me getting 24th now do you. i usually get around 13th or something now

and with that logic i should be up higher right? no. and if you disagree with it.. ( as do i, not my spot per say but other peoples spots) only thing to do is to go to the NCB's or local tournies, or TGE's and prove yourself there. thats all. and it wasnt only the NCB's that were incorperated into the standings. i believe there were alot more other factors that played into the ranks.. and placed people where they are.

[ShadowBTZO]

Honestly I have very rarely seen quite a few of these people at the NCB tournaments. It isn't points from NCB either cuz I would not be 11th, considering I consistently place top 10. Also for example, KFC and Dark Mike would not be on there, as a few other people who don't show up to the biweeklies any more. There are many factors put into this, if you would like to know you can ask any one of us. And San Jose isn't really the bottom of Norcal, Salinas is like the bottom of Norcal:p

[LunInSpectra]

if they were points from NCB I shouldn't be where I am now...I haven't gotten 5th in a while.........

I placed like...9th when Sheridan & DSF knocked me out.

Either than that it was always above 5th.

This list can give motivation to those semi-active guys who need something to aim for. And last, just because you can beat someone on the list AND you aren't on the list, doesn't mean you should be on the list. I don't even believe we used that factor to determine who goes where.

[djkarthik]

Yeah, this list was based on skill, tournament results (NCBs, TGEs, etc) as well as ability to perform technically and in terms of mindgames. If this was based on NCB-results only, Karthik would be on the list. But he's not that good. ;)

Yes, that's the reason alot of players such as Zeldafreak and The SNKE didn't make it. Soon, they shall rise.

[DAHKTERem]

Hey Snap,

Say hi to Shyam Jani for me if you ever play smash with him ^^

[Krypthanh]

alright! maybe i have something to work towards now..

[Tomi-X]

well, first off, i'm very glad that a norcal power rankings showed up. i was waiting for something like this. time to get me on the list. the only problem is it's harder for us that are in the northern area of norcal, like teamscape and my crew, to get up there. i was placing relatively well at TGE's, but never managed to be right at the top. and now, since i have transportation issues, i dont think we'll be able to make the TGE's anytime soon. NCB's aren't an option; too far for other people's transportation. if my car gets fixed, we'll see. however, i might be able to make it easier for those who live up here in sac. if i held my own set of biweeklies here in sac and posted the results, and some decent smashers showed up (ender, sinma, kevmoney, nintendoking, etc.) then maybe we could get a piece of this list? my last tournament didn't end up happening because of some technical issues, but if i do end up getting serious about my biweeklies then i would like the smashers that show up to it get in on the power rankings. if the board members of the power ranking could let me know about this via PM or on here, then i'd appreciate it, thanks in advance.

[djkarthik]

The first NorCal Smash Power Rankings *update* will come a week or so after NCT2 Red. I wish everyone the best of luck in their ventures. Make sure you perform well between until then and after that as well. Be dangerous, no johns.

;)

[PandaX]

Nice list, Hopefully me making it to NorCal for NCT2 gives me the oppertunity to play as well as hang out.

im friends with shyam jani! are you his brother!?!?

"Sorry, but there are to be no state/regional power ranking threads. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation." - Omnigamer, after locking the SoCal rankings.

I find regional rankings to be quite useful to see who the powerhouses of each region are. After all, the original rankings are just opinions anyways. I don't see why that can exists and why regional ranking threads can't exist. I don't understand this.

After all, we spent a lot of time creating these rankings.

Please don't lock this, Omni.

Keep playing in tournaments and proving yourself. Go to NCBs and TGEs. Tath way you'll be better known to NorCal and take credit for your skill. If you dont, you still might notbe on there, even if youre better than some of them.

If you notice, SKYPAL are sometimes omitted from the power rankings simply because they dont travel OoS much, which gives tem less opportunity to show how well they stand up to the other pros.

the problem with this is that it's very hard for us in sacramento to make it to any of the biweeklies. i mean modesto alone is 85 miles or so just there, and another 85 miles back. thats a hell of a drive on us. if you're giving me a "be there or else you don't get posted" kind of statement, i guess i can understand that. i was just hoping that we could make things a little easier on us living here in sac.

[jake the boy]

Hope this thread doesnt get turned into a flame war and locked :(

[Tomi-X]

was that why the other power rankings thread was locked?

[jake the boy]

was that why the other power rankings thread was locked?

Omni wrote that there is no power rankings for any reigon allowed, but I'm pretty sure that wasnt the reason because this thread is still open :/

[djkarthik]

Like I said before, "I find regional rankings to be quite useful to see who the powerhouses of each region are." I don't see why threads have relevance to the specific forums need to locked. Did it really become a flame war? I wasn't keeping up. I think all the smashers should be allowed to debate on the rankings, though keep the remarks intelligent.

Well, let's see what happens.
