Sporcle: Can you name the SSBM Top 8 Finishers Since 2008?

[ycz12]

http://www.sporcle.com/games/ycz6/ssbm-top-8

For those of you unfamiliar with Sporcle: It's a quiz game site. Quizzes are mostly user-contributed, and are on all sorts of topics. Most quizzes take the form "Here is a list of hints, enter the answers in this text box and they will show up below." It is also extremely addicting.

So, I made a quiz about Melee. Let me know if you have any feedback, particularly about which tournaments are listed. Currently there are a few that are kind of obscure, and several large Cali regionals are absent. Also make sure to use

Spoiler

spoiler tags

if you want to discuss specific answers.

Good luck! Post your scores to compare, if you like.

Don't scroll down if you want to avoid spoilers.

[Landry]

Interesting stuff. There were definitely some people I forgot (Cactuar...)

 

[BTmoney]

That was actually fun and I actually did better on the last half than on the first half.
#FilmStudy

Edit:
I forgot about cactuar, chu dat and a lot of Europeans etc.

 

[ycz12]

spoilers!!!!!

 

[Bones0]

I got 192/240.

I missed 14 in just the first 3 tournaments. I also remembered there was a good Peach that started with "V", but I forgot there is both Vwins and Vanz. Their names are too similar. lol I hope you or someone else makes another quiz like this. I love Sporcle quizzes.

I would just put not to scroll down in your first post so everyone doesn't have to keep using Spoiler tags (except maybe Landry since his post is visible at the top of the page).

 

[BetaBahamut]

that epita smash arena 2 one really killed me.

 

[Juggleguy]

You got 218 out of 240 answers correct

I missed about half of the Europeans. The only Americans I missed were:

Spoiler

NES n00b, Chexr, Darc, Falcomist, DEHF, Teczero, Bizzarro Flame, DoH, and G$

Also, I definitely typed in Eddy Mexico but the site didn't add it as one of the correct answers, wtf lol.

 

[Beat!]

203/240


A couple of embarrassing misses.

 

[VoiD-]

Stage names!

 

[Theftz22]

181...can't believe I missed Hax and Jman.

 

[JPOBS]

Can you make it so that we have to attempt the tournies in order, or some other rate limiting effect?

Otherwise, typing random names gives you answers for free. i stopped playing after I typing "Mango" and got like 20 ansers

edit:

184
>tfw you forget about the east coast golden boy ;___;

 

[KrIsP!]

Lol yeah the obvious ones give you stuff for free but getting higher score means guessing less obvious people, and feeling bad you forgot cactuar.

Anyways I got 202. Yeah Europe screwed me up though a few I should've known.

 

[Strong Badam]

Stage names!

requiring the e to be accented for the pokemon stages was a poor choice. and "past stages: ". i got them all though.

on the top 8, i got 227. epita smash ruined me as did a few obscure people getting 7th at various tourneys haha.

 

[VoiD-]

requiring the e to be accented for the pokemon stages was a poor choice. and "past stages: ". i got them all though.

Ah, didn't realize it would do that, should be fixed. Also made the hyphen optional for past stages. Still has to be there though, because it's the only thing differentiating between the past and new versions.

 

[Slhoka]

This is an amazing idea !
I got 210/240, forgetting the following players :

Spoiler

Azen
DEHF
Kels
HugS
Taj
Frootloop
Azen
Colbol
Weon-X
Chillin
DoH
DJN
Tope
Bladewise
Tink
Frootloop
NES Noob
Chexr
Teczero
Vidjo
Lambchops
Duck
Bizarro Flame
Eddy Mexico
Poilon

It's amusing to see I forgot Poilon considering he's one of the only 2 French players in these rankings. Not to mention I was hosting this event...

Oh and also... ACAP at ESA2 was in fact Adam (the Dutch player)

 

[choknater]

i got 204

of course i would never forget bizzarro flame!!!

 

[Nintendude]

I got 218/240. I forgot:

Spoiler

PewPewU
DEHF
Cort
Vidjo
Wife
Lampchops
Tope
Falcomist
Weon-X
Duck
Japan
random Europeans

Noted, will update the quiz to reflect this.

 

[InTimidator]

I got like 140 or something. Maybe more. Really cool and I'll be sure to spread it around.

 

[Crusayer]

Wow you guys are all beast. I only got 188 ]:

 

[Xyzz]

You got 232 out of 240 answers correct.

Spoiler

Missed: Lovage (I'm ******** lol, sorry), DJ Nitendo (I swear I tried him but it didn't work), Masashi, Poilon , NES n00b, Chexr, (no idea who those are, never saw a game), Tink (I remember his name at least! :D)

 

[Shadocat]

"You got ​

195​

​

out of 240 answers correct"​

​

really ashamed that i missed shiz on rom1 and javi on apex 2012​

​

idk **** about europe lol​

​

 

[BTmoney]

I got 160. I are nub imo.

 

[Sizzle]

197/240 nice game

 

[KrazyKnux]

Lol, I take it you'd rather type in "Mango" 20 separate times? That'd be annoying. Also, typing in random names doesn't give you answers for free - by "random" you really mean "good players who likely placed in the top 8", which is precisely the point of the quiz.

 

[Psychoace]

225/240

Spoiler

cort (kept spelling it with a u >.>)
vidjogamer
captain jack
masashi
adam (acap)
makenshi
poilon
chexr
tope my bad
aldwyn (didn't spell his name right in time lol)
weon-x
bladewise

RIP Nes Noob

 

[Bones0]

Stage names!

I missed Poke Floats, Brinstar Depths, and Great Bay. I spent a solid minute trying to figure out how to enter Past Stages (tried appending 64 to the end), but then I realized I had typed Dream Land in the first 10 seconds and it was listed as "Past Stages: Dream Land." lol

 

[Beat!]

Missed Venom and two Past Stages. Damn.

 

[KrIsP!]

Yeah i missed two past stages two, spent the last ten seconds slamming yoshi's island into it and then got past stages. In my mind I got them all.

Do items lol no johns there, and people will really have to think about that.

 

[Pink Reaper]

205/240

Someone make one for Event Matches.

 

[Xyzz]

I forgot tons of stages... I've seen most stages just how many times it took me to finish the singleplayer when starting out (yeah, I could've copied a save of sb else, but I felt like beating it on my own... )

 

[vanderzant]

Wow how did I miss Big Blue/Green Greens >.<

 

[KrazyKnux]

I missed the mushroom kingdoms lol. I kept on trying to type in MK and MKII, but couldn't for the life of me remember what they stood for. Mario Kingdom is the best I could come up with LOL.

Also missed Great Bay because I forgot the name (I could envision the stage, but just couldn't come up with the name) and just completely forgot about Icicle Mountain.

 

[VoiD-]

Do items lol no johns there, and people will really have to think about that.

Items!

For extra challenge, I included everything that counts as an item even if it's not spawned through normal means, including pretty obscure stuff. I will be very impressed if someone manages to remember everything. Coin mode stuff isn't included btw.

I'll do event matches when I get a chance.

 

[Vulcan55]

Starman and Heart Container aren't on there.

 

[ycz12]

The items quiz is missing

Spoiler

Starman, Heart Container, Barrel, and Bomb (Link/Y. Link). Also the balls from Mewtwo's forward-throw, which can in fact be picked up. Trophies also function like items.

 

[Pink Reaper]

I gave up on the items quiz 1 minute in when i realized Starman and Heart Container were missing. You fail your own quiz.

25/37

Spoiler

electrode though? Really? Some of them I'm sad I missed...like fire flower or super mushroom. Wow. lol

 

[VoiD-]

Blame the wiki, I trusted it for normal items >_>

Will fix it.

Spoiler

Also wasn't sure what to name the Mewtwo fthrow balls in a way that could reasonably be guessed, but I guess I'll just put in a bunch of options.

@ycz12

Spoiler

Barrel is in there, it's just called Barrel Cannon. I'll fix it so you can just enter Barrel though.

not bad
