Dogdude's Super Smash Bros. Brawl Ladder v3.0

[burntnorris]

Burntnorris (the artist formerly known as Jor-Dan_the_greatest) is the new host. I have not been given permission from Dog himself, but I doubt he'll mind.
The Player list, Ladder, and items has been reset.
Everyone has a fresh start. Again. yay.

It's fairly simple.

In the following example, the number represents your ranking, 1 being the best...

1. Dogdude84
2. JoeSchmoe
3. BillyJean
4. YourMom

You may challenge the player that is directly above you on the ladder, or the player 2 spots above you. If you win, you take their spot, bumping them down a rung.

You may challenge the #1 ranked player once a week. This does not apply to ranks 2 and 3.

YourMom challenged JoeSchmoe and won...

1. Dogdude84
2. YourMom
3. JoeSchmoe
4. BillyJean

Suggestion: PM the player you would like to challenge as well as posting in this thread. People don't always read every post in here, so a PM is a more sure-fire way of grabbing their attention.

K, so I just had a cool idea to make a ladder as a ranking system for those of us that play SSBB. Simply post your Brawl Friend Code in here, and you'll be all signed up. This thread will be ongoing, as you will always want to fight for the top spot to prove that you're the best of the best!!

If it is your FIRST match on the ladder, you may challenge ANY ranked player. You can go big and try to beat the #1 player, or maybe be a little more cautious and challenge a lower rank.

If you WIN your FIRST match, you take that players spot and they move down 1. If you LOSE your first match, you will be placed at the bottom of the ladder (where you must then work your way up).

If you complete a match that didn't involve a challenge to an already ranked player, you and your opponent will be placed at the bottom of the ladder, winner above the loser. This is not a punishment, I just wanted an alternative method for ranking yourself if you didn't feel like challenging someone already ranked.

If you are challenged to a match by the player below you, you MUST accept. If you refuse to play them it's a forfeit. If you do not respond and complete the match within a period of 1 week, it's a loss as well. For this to occur, the challenger must have PM'd the player they wanted to challenge. This is up to my discretion though. If I can see you've been active on FFR but haven't done your challenge, you lose. But if you've been busy and haven't had time to complete a challenge, I might simply freeze you.

If you are inactive for a period of one month (without notice), you will be removed from your ranked position on the ladder. Your name and friend code will turn gray/italics on the player list.

If you have joined the Ladder but haven't played a match in a month (you aren't ranked), you will be taken off the list. You will see red text next to your name in the Player List if you have not completed a match yet. You can always state that you'd like to join again...this is just for maintenance purposes.

If you must leave for vacation or know that you will not be around for an extended period of time (longer than 1 week) to check this thread for challenges, simply PM me and I will "freeze" your position on the ladder. This means that players may simply skip your name and challenge the player above you. You will not move up or down on the ladder when frozen. Your name will be displayed in blue italics.

To make things simple, matches will be as follows...

Stock: 4 lives
Items: None
Character: Your choice
Stage: (See stage list)

However, if you and your opponent can come to an agreement on a different match style, different items, etc, you are free to do that. It must be posted in this thread though.

Matches are to be best 2 out of 3. When challenging the #1 ranked player, matches will be best 3 out of 5.

NO goon/item farming while using Dedede. If caught doing so, that particular game will count as a loss for you. He's still playable though.

You may choose from any of the following stages when playing a match. Again, if you and your opponent wish to play one not on this list, you must post it before you begin your match.

Brawl Stages:------------Melee Stages:

Battlefield----------------Corneria
Final Destination----------Pokemon Stadium
Delfino Plaza
Yoshi's Island
Lylat Cruise
Pokemon Stadium 2
Castle Siege
Smashville
Frigate Orpheon
Halberd

You should be able to agree upon a time slot that you both can be online to complete a match.

You may challenge 5 players a week. If you are challenged, you must accept, and it doesn't count toward your total of 5. The max number of challenges you can accept is 5 as well. (This might very well change)

A disconnect will result in 1 loss. If you do not follow the match setup, you will be DQ'd and move down a spot on the ladder.

The winner must PM me saying they won, or the loser saying they lost. Either one works, if I get 2 PMs, so be it. Please be HONEST. I don't want to deal with any drama.

The Ladder will be updated as often as possible, and at the very least, once a day.

IDK, my BFF Jill?

I have lots of other random ideas floating around in my head.

FEEDBACK

As this ladder gets on its feet, I would love to hear from all of you as far as constructive criticism, suggestions, or simply thoughts on this thread/idea in general.

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!!

[WolfXhunter]

This is a lie.

[burntnorris]

From the way you talked, you didn't seem interested in doing this anymore. If you still wanna do it, feel free. I'll take this down. You just seemed very unenthusiastic about it. Lol.

EDIT: Stevo's laziness is confirmed. This thread is the new new ladder.

[Silvuh]

Hm.


Well, I'm still here.

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

You know it. :3
Info's in my signature. :]

Where did the new category banners come from? :O

[Jtehanonymous]

(0001-7791-8513)
I never understood how items worked, and I was on the last ladder for all that time before the site went down.

[abbiemonGoesRaWr]

Hm, what is it you don't quite understand? :o
On the old ladder threads, the items would have a description next to it and whatever it was could be applied to a match you're going to have. It didn't actually mean you'd be playing with that item in the actual match or anything. x3

For example, the Bomb-omb item, which I believe was established to have the effect of knocking someone you wish to challenge down two rungs rather than the default of one if you were to win that match set.

Hope that cleared it up for ya. :]

[burntnorris]

ic0, I took most of your suggestions into account, but I left in Corneria, and added Halberd and Frigate Orpheon.

I also highlighted the main line in the above "You may agree on other stages, but you must post it." So if you don't wanna use one of the approved stages, just say so. These are the stages I find to be the most fair/least bull****.

[ic0slay3r]

kick bridge of eldin of the list and the stage list is pretty much fair play. Eldin + DDD + chaingrab = auto win. The stage may be cool and fun but it not good for a competitive game.

Thank you. That makes a lot more sense.

And I actually agree with ic0 about the Bridge of Eldin stage. It's almost as bad as the Green Hill Zone stage where you can just easily toss someone right out. XD

[DarkManticoreX2]

Spot #1 please

Sig etc for info

[colt.45]

Still here xd

Also lol at the playable stages, Im soo gonna abuse bridge of eldin!

Wonder if anyone got better or anything.

[colt.45]

Also double post but for real this is how the stage list should look

It should be 3 lives, 8 min timer, no items. I'm just going by MLG ruling though so idk.
Why a timer? Because the game could last 30 mins if both sides camped.

but as far as stages go the first match should be chosen on one of these 5 stages.

Final Destination
Battlefield
Smashville
Yoshi's Island
Pokemon Stadium

And these should be the CP's

Delfino
Norfair
Frigate Orpheon
Halberd
Lylat Cruise (Could go)
Castle Seige
PictoChat (Could go)
Jungle Japes
Green Greens (Could go)
Brinstar
Rainbow Cruise

[WolfXhunter]

Yeah mlg has some weird stages and rules, the no wii mote/wireless is stupid. Some good players like Ultimate_Razer got kinda screwed because of that.
They also have laggy HD TV's .

I dont think Castle Seige should atleast be a neutral stage xd it's more of a cp imo.
Jungle japes is def a cp for Falco, but just avoid the cg's. Either go Metaknight or Pit xd I think Falco is way better and harder on FD though.
Norfair is an easy one to stall on, butthat is why you put a timer. though i have no problem taking any of those stages down. As I don't ever CP them.

Icoslayer who do you use?

Brawl is kinda a bad game... And they made falcon bad = sad. Yo that's why I main Ganondorf. G Tier = GOD TIER.

Actually brawl is okay but seeing all the mk...
Metaknight is everything, he's all you ever wanted, you can win a set now even if you've never done it, clashes he always wins...
Aerial is down, press it while i'm jumping up, and hit the b button like I don't give a F***. I know you wait for it, but your out of luck, I can do the same thing every single time
I say metaknight da bess, metaknight da bess, metaknight da bess, metaknight da bess
Donkey Kong is mad, DDD is mad, Ice climbers are mad, everyone is mad, I say metaknight da bess.

[WolfXhunter]

Well ill tell jordan about this haha. im glad im not in charge anymore 8)

[ic0slay3r]

I Main TL and MK XD cause MK DA BESS. Also Wolf/Falco mostly for Wifi.

lol Ganon.

I agree with the castle siege as cp, 2 transformation is whats kill this stage.
The main problem with norfair is the time outs its just to easy to win by running the clock :/ I think its best to get those 3 stages out

[burntnorris]

This ladder is for the lols primarily. While it is also meant to be competitive, I don't want to go overboard with the MLG rules. So for now, I'm keeping the rules as is, but since it seems to be a popular request, I will remove Bridge of Eldin.
