| == Update Rule ==
| |
|
| |
| It might be time to elaborate on some kind of rule for how to update this page, beyond the basic "Add event, entrance and source(s)". I think the constant update behavior is not ideal. I'm referring to the Genesis 3 updates. Registration is still open, so numbers are not final and keep on growing, which resulted on constant updates here. The history page is a wall of updates on small numbers for Genesis 3 various games.
| |
|
| |
| I do think it's ok to update entrance numbers when registration is still open, after all this page started like that, when EVO already had the largest smash tournament title before registration had closed. But now I feel it would be better to hold those updates until registration is closed, to avoid spam of small updates.[[User:PFFP|PFFP]] ([[User talk:PFFP|talk]]) 08:15, 23 November 2015 (EST)
| |
| :I agree. In addition, I think I will start enforcing edit summaries when adding to this page. This should make keeping track of the page much easier. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#008833; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #00bb77;">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#eed000; text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #ffd000;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 08:26, 23 November 2015 (EST)
| |
| ::Updating milestones on entrance numbers is usefull, but there's no need to update constantly (1000, 1010, 1030, 1090, etc). No problem in pdating when the registration surpass one of the Overall Top 15, or if it breaks 1k (even if it doesn't surpass another even in rank. My point is to avoid update spam with small numbers. [[User:PFFP|PFFP]] ([[User talk:PFFP|talk]]) 08:41, 23 November 2015 (EST)

| == Including Smash3DS ==
| |
|
| |
| My strongest arguments are:
| |
| * The largest Smash3DS tournament is bigger than the largest Smash 64 tournament.
| |
| * The article says that it covers "each game in the series". Smash3DS is a game in the series. (For sake of argument, suppose Brawl's tournament presence was so bad that none of its events had 100 entrants. Would it still be outright excluded from the article?)
| |
| * The [[List of national tournaments]] article covers all five games plus Project M; this article is very similar in topic. Why should they cover different lists of games? Or would you say that that article deserves to have Smash3DS deleted as well?
| |
| * Same thing with the [[Banned stage]]s article. I was the one who originally added the Smash3DS section to that article, then someone filled it out and now it's nicely informational. Delete?
| |
| [[User:Zowayix|Zowayix]] ([[User talk:Zowayix|talk]]) 22:49, 11 December 2015 (EST)
| |
| :Counterpoints:
| |
| :*You say that the largest Smash 3DS tournament ([[Umebura 9]], with 192 entrants) is bigger than the largest Smash 64 tournament ([[Apex 2015]], with 187 entrants)... however, I can just as well say that there have been more 100+ entrant tournaments for Smash 64 (at least six of them in the past, with a seventh one coming soon in [[GENESIS 3]]).
| |
| :*The reason why I referred to [[Smasher talk:Simna ibn Sind#Top Pro vs. Pro|this talk page]] was to demonstrate that wording on pages is not always literal (since, after all, wikis are editable). As I've stated before, the creator of this page as well as the one who wrote the sentence in question stated that 3DS tournaments probably don't need to be listed. (I'm not specifically using this as my basis for being against not including 3DS, just that you can't always go by wording alone on articles.)
| |
| :*Yes, while [[List of national tournaments]] is quite similar to this one, I don't see why that means we have to remove the list from there as well. There have been four 100+ man tournaments in Smash 3DS's lifespan, and all of them are listed on that page because they were national tournaments. This page just focuses on tournament size (which more often than not, correlates to whether a tournament is a national, but not always; for example, [[Northeastern Smash Attack 2]] and [http://smashboards.com/rankings/bust-3-melee-singles-pro-bracket-pools.10078/event BUST 3] both had over 200 entrants, but neither of those tournaments had anyone who was considered Top 20 at the time, so they're considered to be regionals). It's similar to the reason why Smash 64 only has 5 tournaments listed instead of 10: there just haven't been enough decently-sized tournaments to extend it to 10. As for [[Banned stage]]s, that page and this page don't really have anything in common outside of both being related to competitive play, so I don't really think that's a fair point.

| Smash3Ds and SmashU should just be consolidated under "Smash 4" for tournament and results listing. There's no need to separate them when they're just different versions of the same game, and when the 3DS version doesn't have its own scene once SmashU appropriately took over upon its release. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 12:12, 12 December 2015 (EST)

| :::Just converted this article's SmashU heading to Smash 4 per the above.

| |
| ::::I don't really see the point in this hypothetical question, especially considering that there were quite a few 100+ events in 2008 alone. Smash 3DS and Smash Wii U are also essentially the same game with the same characters, while Brawl is its own game. The argument right now is to include Smash 3DS and Smash Wii U under the same category of "Smash 4".

|
| |
| My opinion on this as the one that originally created the List of ''Largest Tournaments'' page.
| |
|
| |
| * First, the point of this page is to make it easier for people to quickly see the largest smash tournaments currently active in the scene. This list is not perfect but it has a clear goal: who are the big ones?
| |
|
| |
| * Second, if we added 3DS separately from Wii U, the only thing this list would show was something obvious: "wow, when it comes to tournaments people prefer to play Smash 4 on Wii U". Duh. So for me there's no point on adding 3DS since it's only a portable version of Smash 4. There's no Super Smash Bros for 3DS scene separated from a Super Smash Bros for Wii U scene, there's only the ''Smash 4 scene'', that plays competitively mostly on the version the whole smash series is more associated with, the current Nintendo Home Console, the Wii U.[[User:PFFP|PFFP]] ([[User talk:PFFP|talk]]) 22:30, 24 December 2015 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| ::I can argue that another goal of this page, the second section specifically, is to show ''which'' tournaments were the largest for any given game. So someone could visit this page to find out "Which ''Brawl'' tournament was the largest?". Then the reply to your second point would be that including 3DS would be a way to show readers which Smash3DS tournaments were the largest and where/how big they were, not just the fact that they're obviously smaller than SmashU.

| |
| :I don't think it's a good idea, mostly for consistency reasons. For example, I'm from Brazil and I'm dead sure no tournament here got past 200 players, so most tournaments on a "Largest Brazil Smash Tournaments" would be between 50 e 200. Not to mention the sheer number of countries with similar numbers.
| |

| == Future expansion ==
| |
|
| |
| Regarding Melee and Smash 4. If we come to a point where we get consistent 500+ envents more often, I think it would be ok to expand the list for each game from '''Top 10''' to '''Top 15'''. Melee is probably already there, but Smash 4 isn't quite. This is a suggestion for 2016 by the way. [[User:PFFP|PFFP]] ([[User talk:PFFP|talk]]) 22:05, 16 May 2016 (EDT)
| |
| :As of this writing, I will expand the Melee tournament section to Top 15. Why do you ask? Supermajors are becoming more common and since we're in the Summer of Smash, tournaments are only going to get bigger. Thanks for the mention [[User:PFFP|PFFP]]. For the Smash 4 list, I will put a "For Reference" until it reaches the point where that game gets supermajors more often. --[[File:FXSig2.png]] [[User:Falcon-X|<span style="color:Red;text-shadow: 0px 0px 5px Red">'''Falcon-X'''</span>]] [[User talk:Falcon-X#top|<span style="color:Blue;text-shadow:0px 0px 5px Blue">'''('''''VISIT MY DOJO''''')''' </span>]] 15:37, 17 August 2016 (EDT)

| == Upadating the "Update Rule" ==
| |
| So, after some consideration on the matter of the ''Update Rule'' for this page - '''allowing tournaments to be added before registration closes, but limiting the number of updates until registration closes''' -, I think it's best for the page that we don't add a tournament ''at all'' until registration closes and numbers are final.
| |
|
| |
| We wanted to avoid constant updates on the page when registration is still open for certain tournaments, and the rule to limit isn't working, since some people simply doesn't care about the rule, or doesn't read the freaking note on the top. So, if we ban the inclusion of events befero registration closes this might be easier to moderate.
| |
|
| |
| '''But a warning:''' If people were ignoring the previous rule anyway, chances are they'll continue to add tournaments before registration closes. Making the decision moot.[[User:PFFP|PFFP]] ([[User talk:PFFP|talk]]) 22:12, 26 May 2016 (EDT)
| |
| :I've been thinking about this rule, and I think we should give a final rulling. We need to choose one of those two:
| |
| * We ''only'' allow tournaments to be added '''after''' registration closes and numbers are final
| |
| OR
| |
| * We allow users to update numbers whenever they feel like, instead of locking the page or reversing edits.

| == How to specify what tournaments are included? ==
| |
|
| |
| It would be a good thing to specify what sorts of tournaments are included at the top of the page. (Like, despite its size, we probably don't want to include [[Red Bull Smash Gods and Gatekeepers]] -- which indeed isn't on there right now -- because, well, it'd be a pain in the ass to include; who's the "winner", for instance?) Right now it says "Only 1v1 tournaments with the standard rulesets are included." This seems a little off to me, because I worry that people will interpret it to mean that e.g. [[IVGF NorthWest Regionals]] shouldn't be included. Or that people will disqualify tournaments for minor variations in rules. It certainly doesn't meet current standards -- and as for the standards of the time, well, there were none. But clearly it should be in. I'm not sure how to phrase this in a way that makes clear what's meant. Maybe we just don't need to say "with the standard rulesets"? I mean, what even is there that we would want to disqualify for that reason? Smash the Record? None of those have been large enough to make the list anyway. So maybe we can just leave that out.

| ==EVO Japan 2020==
| |
| Normally, disqualifications won't really affect the final entrants tally for a tournament. However, EVO Japan 2020 had over 1,000 disqualifications, meaning that it's no longer in the top 5 largest tournaments of all time. Since this is a big change, should we input the more accurate entrant count, or stick with the initial entrant count?
