    Hey, thanks for all your work with Orion Rank. On the OrionRank doc phase 3 can you update it to include Peach/Daisy? Right now it just says Peach but I think that excludes players like Umeki making results with Daisy as his main for example. Thanks!

    hey man are you still doing the monthly data reports? i'm curious to see Bayo's trajectory since your data write-up and whether data supports a ban

    thanks

    That piece you u put out was mind-numbingly thorough. So scientific with it. Are you a engineer or something? How are you interested In data like that?

    Bruh, as someone who spent his last year in undergrad doing data cleaning and qualitative coding, I respect the grind you are running. I don't know if you're in college or whatever, but if you haven't considered stats, you should.

    So how are you today? I feel a ton of sympathy for you still and I hope the best for you and your family. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication you put into this website to entertain and inform us. Thank you for all the work and I will always enjoy your texts and support you.

    I may just be blind, but how come you don't include MSM a lot of times? They usually have over 100 entrants.

    I don't like to include a lot of weeklies because they adversely affect the player/character rankings since there's a lot of repetition
    TDK
    Are you using top 32 for Battle of BC 2? 246 Entrants including MKLeo, VoiD, ANTi, NAKAT, Abadango, Locus, and pretty much all the best players from the PNW.

    I'm not sure yet. Top 32 usage is usually determined by looking at the seeding for the tournament. We also may partially determine it on the end result, partially on the number of qualifiers from both 2016/2017 OrionRank, etc.

    Same with Smash & Splash. Either/or could be but I'm not sure yet

    If I place top 32 can it be top 32

    Good to know. I'll probably post the whole top 32 either way just to be safe, if it's me who posts it (I'll be at the event, so it might be faster for someone else to just do it)

    I beat you to posting about Frog saga but yours has orionrank stuffs

    Should I delete mine?

    nah it's fine, results get repeated every now and then
    TDK
    Would a 35-entrant tournament in Chile count towards your rankings or is that too small?

    I've posted it in the results thread, the decision to use it or not is up to you.

    i'll run with it, no problem using one every now and then

    South America in general usually doesn't get a lot of love, I don't think I've ever posted results for a South American tournament before (And I'm not sure if you've used one)
    TDK
    You're gonna need a new category for Civil War if this keeps up. Over 600 entrants, ludicrously stacked, the most PGR players ever at one tournament.

    Also grats on becoming a 4BR member, couldn't think of anyone better to do the job than you.

    Heyo do you have a link to the full Orionrank, like in a doc form or something? Unfortunately I missed most of your work due to RL commitments but really want to see the writeups. Cheers ^_^

    I'll be linking the full PGRv2 and OrionRank in my January summary post which will be coming very soon!

    Hey I appreciate all the work that you do as far as data collection goes. I have a question, do you count Arcadian results in your methodology? The reason I ask is because South Carolina is having it largest tournament ever this weekend but it's Arcadian. Currently 81 people are registered. It's likely we won't get numbers like this for a long time if ever since the state is so inactive

    Yes it's excluding our PR and past PR players. I asked because South Carolina tournaments hardly break 50 entrants let alone the 98 we have registered right now. I figured I'd ask so you could get some data on the state since it's never active lol.

    I didn't use the Arcadian but I used Lowcountry Showdown from this week.

    Awesome didn't know it would qualify good to hear, thanks for all your work I find it very interesting.

    Hey do you have a link to that crewbattle in that void defeated everyone? I saw you mention that in the competitive thread.

    Ixis-Miller record is 15-8, Ixis has taken the majority of the sets post luigi nerf though (1 win to Miller probably like 8 to ixis)

    Hey Das Koopa, I love your work. It's very researched and refined compared to others I've seen. Would it be alright if I could use this information to inform others Smash Amino? Majority of users their do not really use smashboards but would like to kneel the results of their characters thus far in 1.1.6?

    That reminds me, and I've wanted to say/ask this for a while, but I think it would be beneficial if you moved your tournament data 'project' to it's own thread in the competitive section.

    I'll probably do that tonight or tomorrow. I'll work up a collective of information to store in the opening post, establish criteria, etc. It's probably best for anybody who wants to easily keep track (since sifting through hundreds of pages is difficult and time-wasting)

    I didn't know if it was appropriate to make my own thread on it but if it's okay I definitely will.

    Take 2-3 of the leading posts. Tournament dump storage / previous months type of thing.

    More appropriate than likely 99% of the rest of the threads being actively made there :p

    In the brawl era, Zankoku ran a similar themed thread (in it's competitive section, do a search for threads made by him), which may give you ideas / something to base things on .

    Wanted to say that tier list you recently posted in Competitive Impressions was great. Valid reasonings and explanations for each tier as well, props to you!
    Shaya
    I know ;)
    I just didn't really want to extend this side-conversation too much because who (i.e. me) wants to have a philosophical argument on what swordie archetype is for multiple pages? :p
    Not me, ideally #_#. Despite me starting it, haha.
