What's going on?​
Class is in session mofos! Basically, the point of this thread is to keep the Mario Boards active, with an underlying goal of educating Marios in general character/stage specific knowledge.


Okay, so what's this "Godsend" of an activity?​
I'll suggest a particular scenario with stage, character, and percentage specifics. I'll tell you what's stale, what's fresh, and the general skill level of the opponent through your eyes as the opposing player. Whoever answers first is teh winnar! But here's where it gets tricky, because...


There is no "one right answer". Correctness will be based on your ability to explain why YOU'RE right and preceding answers are wrong!


Sounds like an okay idea, but how will this be proven? How long do we have per question? What if we have the same answer?​
Be it through calling in mains of the particular character in question, video evidence, or factual % data, the burden of proof is on you! A new scenario will be posted every 2 days (subject to change) along with the best answers to the previous question. Top 2 will get their responses in this post here. In the event that a question is too easy and there are multiple synonymous correct answers, the FIRST two will get the credit.


You're making AND judging scenarios alone? There's no way we'll get anything right unless YOU like the answer....And you're biased.​
Answers will be judged by Straked, myself (Yeah, that's right. You've been drafted. Let me know if you can/can't do it :laugh:) and anyone else that wants to help with questions and maintaining the thread. If you have a particular scenario you want addressed, feel free to PM me. Let me know who's interested and whatever suggestions you may have. If enough people participate, including other character mains, I'll replace this post with the first scenario ^_^.

If not, I think I'm making a guide or something :laugh:

Yep, once I find that there's enough interest, I'll replace the first post with the first scenario. All responses will go in the thread.

That works, this is a pretty original idea.
I'm gonna laugh if I get the same scenario in my next tournament.

Great idea and an original one at that, nice to see this coming. Also, would the judging be biased if we main someone other than Mario? Mario is my secondary.

It's a quiz. People love internet quizzes.

Nah, there's no bias here. I mean, I have the strangest combination of mains. Ness and Mario.
Don't worry, just answer to the best of your ability, this'll actually help us.

I have a feeling this wont last for long... Mainly beacause of the title.
Actually, I only planned to keep this going for a month or so. If enough people liked the idea and everything at its conclusion, and it's going strong by the end, I'll make a part two or something.

No worries though. At 3 scenarios every week, it should be a FULL month.

Straked, Judge, Andre. We need some place to chat openly. Any of you have or is willing to download AIM, MSN or something like that? Let me know.

Hmm. What about an xat chat? That way, all 4 of us could freely chat at the same time.
I could go ahead and make one now, or we could use the regular Mario xat.

As long as the questions remain relevant to competitive smash (items questions are only allowed if they are ISP) this can be open. Pretty cool idea.

Can't wait for the first question.

Don't worry, Skyler. We'll work on some questions tomorrow, we need an xat where all of us can make the decisions, first.

I'm predicting we get the first scenario done by Saturday, maybe early Sunday.

Yeah, that's the xat I mentioned earlier. All 4 of us can talk on there.

Putting this little project on hold for a bit if anyone was wondering. I'll revive this thread when I'm ready to put the time into it.

One of us could take over, if you like. Skyler can swap our posts.

OFF TOPIC: Wow, Straked, you have nearly 4,000 posts and you joined just 4 months ago! You certainly post a lot.

ON TOPIC: I think that this thread is a good idea, and I think that using a very common scenario would work best, since we would be able to figure out the best way to deal with that situation, such as recovering vs. Meta Knight.

Yeah, although about 200 of them were taken away, since Azua closed the OTL Social Thread. I do have a life, my job, girlfriend, and Paintball as a "job" is really a lot to keep up with. I do post a lot, but only because I stay up late.

It does give me time to maintain a lot, just look at the threads I've made.
I was considering taking over this if Matador can't quite run it.
