Smasher talk:Medu

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Medu has been considered one of the Best Sonic Mains in South America during Smash 4 and has notable performances and wins, most notably against Escurridizo and Cyrano, as stated in the article.

In Smash Ultimate, Medu was considered among the best Sonic Mains in South America during the Pre-Pandemic Era and considered one of the few Sonic Mains against the characteristic PlayStyle of Sonic needing to camp.

He has since retired from the Smash scene, as he is focusing more on Competitive Trading Cards Games, but he still collaborates with organizing tournaments from time to time.

It is borderline offensive to consider Medu, as lacking notability. --Tacho99 (talk) 19:24, January 11th, 2024 (EDT)

The playstyle part does not matter to notability. I do see that they may have better results in Smash 4 than Ult it seems like. Also the page has not mentioned him TOing. If the page has a list of what notable Smash tourneys he had co-TO'd it would certainly help his case. Grand Dad.png NPM Morr!? A legit emoji in the Smash Asia server. 01:24, January 12, 2024 (EST)
Help his case? Medu was a High-Level player in Smash 4! So now that he stopped competing and has fewer notable performances and wins in comparison to his Smash 4 Era, his article should be deleted? It doesn't make any sense. --Tacho99 (talk) 17:22, January 12th, 2024 (EDT)
That's not what I mean at all. Of course I know that historically notable is a thing. Once you are notable, always notable. Hold up, you sound kinda angry to me are u still insisting that I am coming off as "offensive" by tagging and discussing? What I want to grasp is if he was good enough in Smash 4. He was having "Upper mid level" results instead of "High level". I see that he has some above-average placements but uncertain about how fitting it is to the guideline. And the TOing part I don't see any harm of mentioning it and listing the tournaments they partaked in TOing. Grand Dad.png NPM Morr!?

I'm not coming from a place of anger. I am quite frustrated, but I apologize if it came that way, it was not my intention.
Medu's placements might not be the best. He was a Gatekeeper during the Smash 4 era and the early years of Ultimate. With that said, he won against some of the best players in the country in both games. It's quite bizarre to focus primarily on placements over wins. I believe that it should go hand in hand, with the same type of value.
Medu is widely considered as a High-level Sonic Main during the Smash 4 Era in South America, despite his placements, aswell as the best Sonic Main in the Southern region of SA (Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile) in the Pre-Pandemic Era.
In terms of TOing, I am not entirely sure how to explain it properly. As a member of AIS, a crew not entirely linked with AFK, Medu helped with the organization of various tournaments over the years, whether with console/TVs, calling players, running the bracket, or setting up streams, among other things. He wasn't a head TO like KPC, Fusecki, Cyrano, or More from that team, but more like other players like Aliluc, Idle, and Sketch who helped with more of the technical aspects of the tournaments. --Tacho99 (talk) 00:36, January 13th, 2024 (EDT)
I understand cuz i've been here before not knowing how to handle my own region. It is not that wins do not hold any value. But I can hardly see that wins equate to placements on the same level. Ofc good placings aint like everything a notable smasher article should have, but i still see placements before wins. I suppose the "considered high level" part is by the community then. The TO part is interesting this player definitely plays a part in it. Ofc you dont have to be a head TO to be a TO. So the TOing probably should be mentioned in the page as well as giving it the category. Grand Dad.png NPM Morr!? A legit emoji in the Smash Asia server. 01:20, January 13, 2024 (EST)
Almost every player that was in AIS (with the exception of Escurridizo) and now in AFK was in some form a Tournament organizer. Medu helped in most Waveshines back in Smash 4 and 2019s Ultimate, aswell as in most Weeklies in the Pre-Pandemic era. But is not as recognized as the work put in by KPC and Cyrano in that same era. -- Tacho99 (talk) 07:50, February 14th, 2024 (EDT)
