Now you're wondering why I've brought you all here. The reason why I decided to create this google doc is basically for the sake of being able to find players for the matchups that you lack or wish to get more experience in. Another reason is to find and identify many of the people who play these characters to varying degrees that many people may not even know of. Since starting Guilty Gear (with Xrd) I had to play a lot of catch up and had a pretty difficult time finding certain matchups. Even OG's lack experience against some of the newer characters who can give trouble, but I noticed specifically harder for a lot to find Bedman, so hopefully an open google doc where people can input their own information will create a much quicker way to find what you're looking for. There was about 1,000 people at EVO this year for Xrd and I'm hoping at least 40 or 50% can find this doc and input info. So just keep sharing.

 

Also as I'm starting to notice. This is a great way to help identify people that are near your scene that you didn't even know existed. Very great way to start having people come to your casuals so hit em up.

 

Rules

 

There are none! Anyone from anywhere is encouraged to add their name no matter how good you think you are.

 

Videos

 

I think one of the biggest things when selecting someone to contact from the list will be the thought of "who can I learn from/who is good/who is around my level" and so on. Instead of having something like a "indicate here if you have a Dustloop trophy" or "get some known player here to vouch for me" type of deal. I think the best way to indicate whether you want to fight someone or if someone is good or not is by watching them play. Even if you don't plan on fighting them or not, I think everyone has something cool to show that you can put into your own game and possibly make it even better. If you've ever been to a tournament/been on someone's stream/stream yourself you more than likely have some footage of yourself somewhere (hopefully recent or at least reflects your skill now). If you don't, now might be the time to ask to be on someone's stream or record yourself or travel.

 

A long term goal for this doc (first time doing something like this) is to constantly see players updating their videos showing all the new tech that they've been learning or just simply how much better they've been getting. If you want players to critique your gameplay, you can tell them to see me (you) in this doc. It should help people that don't have popular streams or Youtube or overall just not a popular player get some help in some way. Pretty motivating if people are asking you to play them as well once you start to get better.

 

Try not to post yourself just curb stomping someone just obviously weaker than you I think most people can tell what's going on lol.

 

If you want to post a video from a twitch archive, you can just let me know. Send me the link and where you want people to start watching it, (the timestamp). (Shoutouts to @logichole 's stream by the way for my video) (Also shoutout to @choysauce85 as well. This is a super important part of the doc and I probably wouldn't have thought about it right away had he not mentioned it to me)

Remember that time you said not to erase the doc? Yeah, it already happened lmao. Someone is actively deleting people's information after they finish writing it down.

I've been looking at it pretty actively and it seems like most/all of the stuff is still intact. The deleting that I've been seeing is people deleting their own submissions after putting the wrong character in the Axl section lol

Maybe we should have a info/rules tab for the start so people don't just start inputting into the AXL page. I was about to do the same thing lol
and if we link directly to the doc, there is an explanation about it

 

I like Daiandoh's suggestion, it'll help avoid having to ask like 5 people to find out only 1 can play when you are able to.

where do you think we'd want to uniformly place the AVAILABILITY field in each section?

 

But also I would add info to say, even though people list their availability, don't let it deter people from contacting someone to schedule some game time with them outside of their availability.

Yeah I can add availability no problem. I'm getting some good feedback and some guys told me about Google Forms, which is apparently better than the current Excel sheet that I'm using. I'll look over that format tonight and add Availability and whatnot. Plus is should trick less people into writing in the Axl section, I noticed a good number of people are doing that.

Hah yeah, that was what I was seeing. Didn't even notice the tabs, whoops.

Any complaints about me putting myself in twice—that is, on both my main and my sub's page?

This seems cool. Thanks for doing it.  When I clicked the link & signed into Google/Gmail, I got a message saying I need permission.  So I sent a request, and now I guess I'll wait for a response.

I changed the way the doc works, so now you're just on one page. You'll have to consider yourself a dual main if you want to get on both pages. You can go through the poll twice, I don't mind

Oh I had locked it to change the doc. You should be good to fill out the form and look at the player list.

Great, just did it.  And... forgot to click the tab on the bottom, putting it under Axl.  Should I change it somehow or leave it to you?

Anyway, there are a lot of players in my region I can try getting matches with this weekend, including gcYoshi, who's even in the same city I play (Fremont, CA).
