The Regional Crew Battles at MELEE-FC have been among the most definitive moments in Smash history, and defined the strength of each region for several years, most notably at MELEE-FC3 when players took it as the definitive opportunity to settle the East Coast-West Coast debate “once and for all.” With your help and participation, we are looking forward to creating a similar experience at MELEE-FC Legacy!

Thus, we are seeking captains to begin gathering their teams. We will be hosting an 8-man team for each of the six regions outlined on Smashboards – Atlantic North, Atlantic South, Southwest, Pacific West, Midwest, and International. Each team will need to have a captain. The captain will be responsible for selecting team members and making all decisions prior to and during the crew battles. If you are interested in holding the captain’s position, please send me a PM.

I would also like to see nominations from people within the region, so feel free to post those in this thread. We want to select a captain that will be good at managing their team and that the region feels is a good representative, so if there is a clear consensus, we will defer to that opinion. The captain does not have to be the best player in their region, but should be knowledgeable about national Smash, possess a thorough knowledge of their region’s top players, and have a strategy-minded focus. And obviously, player skill only helps.

We look forward to seeing a strong team from each region this summer!

Go Midwest

I nominate Dart, good/smart player and i'm pretty sure he made the honor roll in high school.

I nominate myself, despite all my **** talking lol im actually pretty unbias and would make a quality crew captain.

Eddie is the honorable crew captain no matter what.

do captains have to be a part of the team? I would definitely dedicate my time to watching opposing players and looking for bad habits or match ups

i dont agree with having dart do it. i dont get a good team building vibe and the intangibles that make a captain next lvl. a consiglieri, sure. dart at the helm is not good for morale as he is disliked by a lot of ppl for his often poor attitude and disrespect to players we are supposed to be banding together. it's been a while but all he ever used to do was be angry and hate on ppl. and regardless of how he is currently everyone has a history.

rat is a genius but can u be a captain and not play? cuz duck is pry better.

dude big d knows everybody and hes gonna be the best player int he world soon soo

or trail would do work too. good at listenin to opinions and makin the choices. well liked, passionate, etc

Where does it say the captain has to be on the team? If that's not a requirement, then BigD gets my vote. He always surprises me with his knowledge about all the different states, and he has a great team building vibe as Trail put it.

tink, thats not fair, lots of people in that crew battle made bad decisions

eddie and trail both chose stages vs shiz/speedn respectively, allowing them to switch, and then they got rolled

cunning played one of the best players in the world and barely lost an even match

just cause he went last doesnt mean he lost the crew battle for us

I nominate Jace for the champion of the KC crew.

He is the only one of us who would take it seriously and he's also pretty damn good at this game.
Besides, who else would rep midwest falcons?

yeah but i also remember people yelling at other people not to choose a stage because their opponent would switch characters

then they chose a stage, and lost much worse than cunning did; cunning just went last so youre blaming the whole thing on him

plus you shouldnt make someone play on a stage theyre not comfortable on even if on paper its better, at least in my opinion

loll. its cunning, he was comfortable on any stage...he just didnt wanna be lame. and as a captain, are you telling me taking the icies to their worst stages+ a 5050 of them switching to a low tier, isnt a good choice to make some1 do 0_o.

Good to see Midwest caring! No other region cares as much. Then again, we have a lot of losing to make up for.

In other news, yes that crew battle everyone is talking about had problems from beginning to end. Singling out Cunning is a bit silly.

Right now we're leaning 8 players per region. Captains do not have to play, but captains get to decide the system to determine who plays, so if you're nominating a captain that says he'd play himself thinking that he shouldn't be on the team, that's not going to work out.

Frankly, I think we need another Midwest tournament before FC. :p

I'm only going to this tournament for crews and maybe doubles.
If i'm captain that's fine. If not i don't care.
