"The Test" by LDPK~ NOW AT APEX
UPDATED AS OF 6/8/2010!!!
********************************
Since this sort of topic is not significant enough for its own thread (and sort of not pika relevant at all, lol ^_^), Since this is now a thread, I'm going to update this particular post for those who are "Test-takers" or who are interested.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Waiting List....
Please be patient... I am only human... and I do get bored...^_^
The wifi lineup:
1) gallax
2) Kid Nino
3) Captain L
4) Nicholas1204
5) Automatic
6) TheOriginChu
7) chainmaillekid
8) bry
9) ESAM
10) Diddyknight
11) ElNoNombreHombre
12) Hobs
13) Iliad
14)frio? *queued for another test session*
15)Linkisthebest123 *queued for another test session*
16)stingerz *Queued for whenever and also in real life*
I will be allocating time to Test these people and contact them in the above order. I will be in both pika xat (xat.com/highvoltageclan) and on AIM with the screenname 'HLim103'. If you MUST, my facebook is 'Anthony Lim' in the North Carolina/UNC/Greensboro network and I will only friend if you PM me confirmation that the facebook request is indeed you... through smashboards PM system (I don't want stalkers). If you can message AND play brawl at the same time, then that would be the best method of doing the test efficiently cuz you can msg me if you want to do retries--otherwise, I may get off after one test session and find someone else that is in the waiting list... but if i don't find anyone, we can continue testing. Please read my signature below for my friend code.^_^
Please remember, if you have failed and want a retry, i'll will only consent if there are not other people in line that are already easily available. Please remember the rules and use only one character through any ONE try of the Test.

***About The Test***
I was wondering if anyone near my area (or is interested) wants to eventually try "My Test".
Even if you are not in the area, this "Test" of mine is something I normally give to people when i am at a tournament and have a lot of time (because maybe i have booked a hotel room or a place near/at the venue), and is what i ALWAYS give to people wanting to try out for my brother's and my crew.
'LDPK's Test':
1) Win against all my secondaries in a row. And face/win against my pika in the end.
2) Normal Rules, best of 1 game (don't need to play best of 3)
3) I choose the stage. Test Taker has the option to request that I only choose from the neutrals--regardless i still choose the stage ^_^.
4) If you lose, you start over at the beginning.
5) You can only choose 1 character to take the entire test. You may retry the test with a different character however ^_^.
6) Just who are my secondaries? (Read signature... 'random button'.... lol) (j/k... actually its more like 18 of the entire cast)
7) The Test is given in a relatively preset order and can be slightly shuffled depending on performance. Over time, it is very possible that I'll add another secondary that i've gotten good with to the test. ^_^
Why is it called "The Test?"
Well, since i choose the stage and you are forced to beat them 'in a row' with the same character, the odds are really stacked against you. It like the 'ultimate' test of how well you can do if all odds were sort of against you, cheapness and all. The odds of you beating 'The Test' also sort of get slimmer and slimmer every time you (the test taker) progresses and retries (since my forte is in reading). By the time the test taker reaches the last few of my remaining characters, I (the test giver) will have witnessed the taker's battle secrets and a good idea of his playstyle--making the final ones really frustrating. Strategy for beating my test: strike strong, fast, and hard the first time you take The Test or you'll regret it--that or have a split personality... lol ^_^.
Why take it?
Well it sort of is a way to benchmark one's self in terms of skill and matchup knowledge/experience. I am the best in NC (as far as i know/battled) in some of my secondaries and make up for the rest with my psychic abilities (lol... half-j/k ^_^), so you are going to get a good fight all the time, almost regardless of who you are.
Realistically, its near impossible to pass (no one has ever passed it yet [14+ takers thus far]... best score is 9 in a row out of 18 on Real Life and 16 in a row of 18 on Wifi)--YOU COULD BE THE FIRST TO PASS ^_^! After a certain point, taking the test is sort of pointless, but it is always still fun to take whenever you are bored ^_^. Plus, i don't used characters like snake, mk, wario, or olimar and stuff. Most of my test is made up of low-tiers and random mid-high tiers that i like personally.
Anyone interested? ^_^. You can see some of the winning footage of people who have tried my test on our youtube page when you type in TEST. Our youtube name is 'shadowcase'. Sample vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39sWgyPrEhA
Edit:
***Wi-fi Version***
Due to some demand, there is now a wi-fi version of my test. Instead of (me) reading my opponents next moves before they even happen, i read them AS THEY OCCUR on wifi... lol ^_^. Since lag and input delay may or may not be a component of wifi combat, it may be seen as a toned down version of my RL test. Regardless, bragging rights are still legitimate and I will have no qualms about takers commenting on their success in matches. Be the first to be in the hall of fame! ^_^

Report Card results can be requested to be thrown out altogether for some odd reason (one past taker[ZSS] didn't want to lose to a ganondorf) and i'll do it, no questions asked, ASAP. Unless, I forget, the matches will be recorded and takers may request that some, but sometimes not all (i am still human and uploading takes time :D) videos be put up on youtube.
