You don't need applications for anyone that isn't teaching. They just ask a person for help.

That's how this should work, imo.

This sounds like a great idea.

Yeah, I agree with Straked. Just have a list of available teachers and the people who want to be trained or critiqued can contact them.

Maybe you could message an Administrator about it or bring it up in the Suggestions thread.

I don't really see what that'll do...

We especially need more teachers, because if n00blets come and there are no teachers for their character, it defeats the purpose of the thread.

Well, I'm a n00blet, so take my words as a grain of salt, but you're basically trying to raise this idea's popularity. What's a good way to let people know about this; the GBD doesn't work very well.

I also thought you'd change it up a little. Like, you add every character in the game, alphabetically, and put the information down UNDER it.

Why not put individual threads in each character's boards so you get more attention from people who focus on the characters and from people who wanna learn em, traffic seems crap in here, you need more attention to keep this afloat.

That's up to the creator of this thread to manage public relations.

The character threads would be dead almost always, except for metaknight because everyone thinks they're good with him. and anyone can find this in general discussion, as well was stray away from their own main.
This couldn't be far from the truth. Meta Knight forums are usually dead for hours.

The most activity? Snake, Pikachu, Marth.

I'd also like the OP to go in order of character alphabetically. It looks unorganized with everything so askew.

And don't put them in quotes, please.

Don't see why. If you're bad or want to learn a character, the best thing you can do if learn the basics from a veteran of that character. They might not be particularly amazing, but they sure know their stuff.

If you aren't serious about a character, you won't ask for help. Let them be confused.

Also, you might wanna edit the title.

Something along the lines of "Character Teachers | Need help learning a character? Come here!"

That's someone...congratulations......but we can't use just one person to justify everyone...a lot of people do contain too much pride to get help when they need it :ohwell:

but yeah, if someone truly cares to get better with their character they'll ask for help, and hopefully this thread will just push that urge.

As for me...I've been resting on my bum...now that I have more free time...I've just sandagging on "with anyone" where the lulz are...

True but I've seen people turn down help they could easily get cos of pride, people can be idiots at times.
All I know is that I'd rather be learning than teaching. Pride is for people who can't get better. ;)

Personally, I think that we should make sure people are qualified to teach.

Not calling anyone in particular out, but people shouldn't apply to teach unless they're actually decent with the character and they know a lot about the character. Just a basic point, I mean we don't want people teaching that don't know what they're talking about.

Jigglypuff, King Dedede

Noobicidal / 3265-6146-8774 / VM / MSN is Noobicidal@live.com

The name's Noobicidal, or Noob for short. I main both Jigglypuff and Ganondorf, and I use around 12 other characters at a competent level. Though I use primarily Ganon, I do not feel comfortable enough teaching him; there are much better teachers out there. I will however teach Jigglypuff and D3 as much as I possibly can (assuming anyone wants to use Puff...).

I live on the East coast, and I'm free from 3-4 PM to stupidly early in the morning. Night matches are preferable.

Just confirming this guy is qualified to teach said characters.

Vouching for his Jigglypuff.

Curiousity asks: Will you want n00blets signing up? Are you going to make a place for them to sign?
