Smogon's Shoddy Battle Server to be released soon

You guys win so hard. This is the best possible thing you could have done for the community at Smogon.

Just to chime in with the rest of the masses, I would really like to have Ubers, OU, UU and Little Cup ladders all made available. I only play OU casually, so I prefer Ubers and Little Cup as my primary competitive environments. But if there was a well-defined UU environment, I would definitely be tempted to learn that as well.
 
Do they talk about Brawl that much? (I haven't gone on shoddy in a while..)

Anyways, this is awesome news. I'll probably start playing shoddy again with a smogon server up and running... and I agree with all the people that want a UU and little cup ladder, those would be interesting (And could make more people actually play UU, resulting in more progress in the metagame, so we can properly decide what needs to be BL, what can stay in UU, and perhaps make an NU tier..)

Cool, a server where I won't get constantly kicked for saying Ness is not the best brawl character...

LOL @ that. Ness is better than he was in Melee, but he's not even in the top ten characters in Brawl. Marth has a free 100% chain grab against him. Whoever kicks you for saying that is an idiot.
 
Will Pokemon statistics be implemented in the Smogon server? And will there be a ladder system, and hence weighted statistics? If not, I can't continue maintaining the OU list.
 
I am fairly certain that alll servers have a ladder system now and have a leaderboard as well as usage statistics. If for some reason the smogon one wouldnt well ... it would definitely suck.
 
Interesting. Too bad I'll be gone for the next month. Fuck. >_>; Ah well.

'Gratz on Smogon and thanks to Colin for his hard work on the server.
 
Having mixed feelings because I adore talking about Brawl on Colin's server, but this is probably best for our community. Hopefully I'll start laddering again, my team hasn't played in ages.
 
I have to agree with Gorm. Hearing brawl talk all day annoys me :(

I'm really happy about this decision. I hope the server will feature double battles and have leaderboards for each ladder that will only include the Smogon server.
 
eh, I don't think it is going to actually have double battles. Didn't Colin say that it would be very hard to install or something of the sort?

If we do have double battles that is great news.
 
Having a Smogon Server seems like a great idea.
But what are going to be some of the initial differences between the Smogon Server and the Official Server? Things like Little Cup and UU could be done in the future, but what will it be like at the start?

You've seriously never actually played a good Ness, have you?

Actually, Mr. Negative, I'm the leader of Smashboard's version of the Policy Review forum. I play Brawl with the top players on a regular basis. Yes, I've played a good Ness, but that doesn't make him as good as you seem to think.
You probably just don't have the experience to see it. But seriously, disagreeing with someone on a tier list position is a pretty moronic reason to kick someone.

/threadjack. I promise no more off topic posts.
 
Chris is me said:
Eh, I'll still prefer Official Server, or my own. To be honest, I think Colin's rules changes that he's made are better than some of what I'd think Smogon would do. Plus I'm worried that a bunch of mods will decide a controversial rule, then block discussion on it :(

to what extent do you honestly feel that colin made, makes or will make changes to the ladder solely on his own

I guess I don't have that much faith, so I'll just have to see what happens with Smogon server. I don't expect it to be terribly successful though.

do you measure a server's success by how many members it has, or by the ease with which it will allow the community tied to it to implement, enforce and change the policies its several staff members decide upon for the good of the community

By the way, I seriously doubt that if Competitor were released today that anyone would play it. Shoddy is free as in freedom, Competitor isn't. Shoddy's cross-platform, Competitor isn't... and on. and on.

how do you know how "free" competitor is when details of its development haven't been made public for about a year


honestly, your entire post reads like horrible, baseless theorymon and no one could blame me or another admin/mod for hitting you up with a trolling infraction that would result in your banishment. why did you even post this, lol
 
So now I'm going to split time between...3 different servers, all with different metagames. Also, how will this effect mods of the OTHER Smogon sanctioned server, the CAP server? I'm assuming it won't, and I'm not getting my hopes up, but still a little recognition would be nice...
 
Chrisisme, you are full of shit.

By the way, I seriously doubt that if Competitor were released today that anyone would play it. Shoddy is free as in freedom, Competitor isn't. Shoddy's cross-platform, Competitor isn't... and on. and on.

You mean despite that Competitor is open source too and Competitor is cross-platform too? And on. and on. The thing is, you don't know anything about Competitor. Why would you be qualified to say _anything_ about Competitor?

I've said this before, I might as well make a page on Smogon about it. Competitor isn't dead because of this move. It is on hiatus until the site is up to my standards. I am glad ShoddyBattle is around, because it is we can concentrate on making the site the best it can be.

What is wrong with you? Why would you post baseless nonsense, Chrisisme?
 
It'd be nice to have another server (which will have more than like 4 people in it). Hopefully the unknowns who come in aren't as bad as the ones I've seen in the official server (I've seen like 4 Hyper Beam Charizards this week, different person each time too =/).
 
I'll be there of course supporting the server but other than having the name Smogon what will this server have that others don't?
 
colin was talking about having different metagames on the official server, im guessing/hoping smogon server will try to implement different metagames aswell sometime in the future?
