Smash Hall of Fame

[Zivilyn Bane]

I think it's safe to say that Melee has survived long enough to merit this topic again.

Anybody out there interested in starting this project back up? Hugo? Anybody else?

I would love to see a real, professionally done Melee Hall of Fame.

EDIT: Also, can I get a mod to move this to the Melee Discussion section. Please and thank you.

 

[MTKO]

I'd like to see this be created. I don't think I'd be of any use in helping create it, but it would be really cool if it got going.

 

[Kyldare]

Why not create it?

Smash OG's should just vote on it each year.

Somebody has enough time to do it I'm sure...

As for the process of deciding who makes the Hall of Fame. I propose the following:

1. The main criteria for being inducted would be time. I propose that a minimum of 3 years (after the initial major accomplishment/contribution) must go by before a player can be considered.

2. I propose that new inductees be announced once a year. *

3. A large panel should be assembled in order to decide who is inducted *. But the panel should not decide who is nominated.

4. To be nominated, a person must recieve a minimum of 10 nominations from the community in order to then be considered by the panel. * I propose we use a ballot type format to do this.

5. I propose that a maximum of 5 players be inducted each year to keep the title a prestigious one.

6. To ensure that older smashers are not forgotten, a minimum of 2 people who's initial contributions/accomplishments took place a minimum of 4 years ago must be nominated on a ballot. (I feel the number of years should increase once we get more years into our community)

I think the above criteria is perfect, cept for 2. Maybe every 3-6 months atleast 3 more smashers are added in.

I think at major tournements the winners for the 6 months should be announced and maybe given something ex. a plaque.

and before we start nominating smashers I suggest we first nominate who will be on the panel. I think 4-6 people would do.

For the panel I think

hugs
husband
alphazealot
forward
bach

that is if any of them are up too it

 

[Metal Reeper]

I'm liking this idea. I don't think it would matter if the backroom was in charge of this or not, we all know who is in the hall of fame anyway Also, this would have to be on smashwiki.
I wish that was more updated

 

[Codi]

I think this is a great idea, they should make a part of the site dedicated to this with a little background info one why they deserve it and what they did ect..

I think the most obvious person to be nominated first would be Ken

The First Class has already been inducted it seems.
http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Smash_Hall_of_Fame

All Obvious Choices too. So what we will be starting with will be the 2nd Class of HOF'ers.

I think Captain Jack, Wes, Husband, Wife, KoreanDJ, and Justin Junio

 

[Divinokage]

Melee will never die it seems. =D

I saw this list too, and while it does look like a pretty credible list, there are no citations as to where it came from. So I can't only think it is unofficial. Plus I read a lot of crap on that smash wiki page that is totally wrong. Like SilentSpectre going to JGT...totally inaccurate.

I like Hugo's initial idea for this, but since it's 2011 I think if we did it we could do 10-12 smashers inducted to get it started, then do like 5-6 per year every year thereafter.

Wife and Husband weren't really known for their individual play, seems odd to give up 2 slots to a team, I would say give one slot to both of them, as the Newlyweds. Maybe wife by himself just because of his legendary commentary.

The thing is, I can list like 40 players who should be in there, it seems odd that we're just going to go through like 5 years of throwing in people we know will be in there.

DA Dave, PC Chris, m2k, mango, hbox, hugs, armada, chillin, axe, neo, darkrain, chudat, wobbles, taj, (DBR I would say as one slot as well, maybe Germ/the king get their own slots), eddy, DSW, etc.

I guess it depends on your reasons for getting in, but there are a lot of people who have contributed and are well known and influential in the history of smash.

Just my personal Opinion but I think HOF slots should go to players who's contributed to the scene in and/or out of playing. I also believe players that are still heavily involved in the tournament scene should be held off until they retire. With that said alot of those listed do fit that place.

 

[Dimitris]

You should make it more esthetical too, more than just a list on a wiki. Something visual, you know. It should give the impression of being an important list.

 

[makoforce]

I support this wholly, only reason I never brought this up is because I though we had one

 

[KishPrime]

That list was official and voted on by the SBR, but I thought it was pretty heavily weighted toward non-players. Shrug.

[Tee ay eye]

that sounds so legit

how would the awards work, though?
is it just a general "how important or impactful are/were you to the smash community?"
or is it a specific award given to each player?

i.e. most technical, most aggressive, most ______

 

[KAOSTAR]

It sounds like a cool idea. Im down for anything that in some way strengthens the community.

The rules are pretty solid.

Looking forward to this :D
