Question on the difference between semi-professional and professional?

I noticed you changed RockstarAce to semiprofessional. That doesnt bother me or anything, but i wanted to get a little clarification for when I make future pages.

RockstarAce got 17th at an A tier and 49th at an S tier. Those peaks seem consistent with other players marked professional (say John Numbers or Acestarthe3rd) but unlike John Numbers his drop offs are pretty severe. And he doesnt always consistently place at the top at locals .

Is consistency the difference or is there something else I should be looking for when putting them in a category.

Thanks again for all the help, and sorry for any messes I've made on the pages. Wiifitkid (talk) 09:05, April 6, 2020 (EDT)

Not NPM, but I generally look at the national tournaments to determine whether "professional" or "semi-professional" fits better. Generally, if there's a good placement at the stacked tournaments it warrants the professional status (say, 65/3,534 is better than 65/160). On the other hand, if the player consistently places well at regionals, then the smasher deserves the professional status. Finally, top player wins also show that the Smasher has potential to defeat some of the best, so if a player has several PGR player wins outside of locals, I believe they deserve the status.

The main difference that JN and Ace have with RockstarAce is that they have better consistency, whether it's on a national or regional level. RockstarAce's national placements range from 17th to 385th and do tend to be on the weaker side, and his regional placement is limited but workable. I did take a look at the more local results and RockstarAce seems to do pretty fine locally, plus he has wins over some PGR players, so I don't see a big problem giving him a professional status, although this is a more borderline case imo.

Thanks that helps a lot. Wiifitkid (talk) 15:08, April 7, 2020 (EDT)

Specific location

Some smashers (like Chexr) have specific location of city and state, and some (like Seven) have only their country's name. What defines if player gets the former treatment? 46.229.158.109 13:02, May 3, 2020 (EDT)

If Seven's exact location is found, we can easily add the city name to the infobox, otherwise, it will just stay as Japan. There aint any actual limitations. Naughty🐽GRAND DAD 自閉肥宅 13:07, May 3, 2020 (EDT)

Also, some people don't want their exact locations revealed. In those cases, only the state or region is covered. CookiesCreme 13:09, May 3, 2020 (EDT)

OK, thanks! 46.229.158.109 13:13, May 3, 2020 (EDT)
