I was saying it doesn't show skill because in my mind being a beginner reflects that you have skill. You can't really say that the inter badges are not intended for proof of skill. Doesn't that make the inter title redundant? I dont know why i'm still going on about this, it's not like it's gunna change anything x_X

Inter isn't redundant, because it's higher than beginner, but lower than pro. I don't understand what's so difficult to understand about that. <_<

Inter is not intended to show proof of genuine skill, it never has, and it never will. Not in the sense of skill that you're talking anyways. Inter is intended to show the casual Stadium players, the one who play that mode once in a while, or for fun, but not day-in and day-out.

I again remind you that neal doesn't want to make the requirements too hard. That is what scares away non-Stadium players in his and in my experience, and is one of the main reasons non-Stadium players don't play a given mode. You honestly can't tell me with a straight face that you're not going to play any given mode because the thresholds are too easy. If inter is too easy, go for pro. If pro is too easy, go for the the King badge. If you're not willing to do that, then that says more to me about your personallity, priorities, self-esteem and self-motivation than it says about the merits of the thresholds themselves.

Beginner is for casual gamers and people who play once in a while. Leave inter to the genuine inters. Also this is the first i've heard of this "king" badge. So basically if you're a beginner you're an inter, if you're an inter you're a pro and if you're a pro you're a king. That's a little... unneccesary, buuuut whatever floats your boat :/

This doesn't even make sense. There is only one King. Pro can't be king because there we can have more than one pro; Inter isn't pro because inter is below pro; Beginner isn't inter because it's everything below inter. At least for the purpose of these badges, that's how it is. And that's more or less how it's always been.
And? That's exactly where we've set it in the system we've decided on.

Huh? (I can't do a quote inside a quote, if you can do that on AiB, so I wrote it like this.)

What Treklink said in the first quote there you have I don't think once in a while if that's the case to get to 3:10 in 10 man melee is not play an hour or so style for moderate players like my self it takes many days and at the point I am now slow improvements form here on out.

^phazon: when you said "people who play once in a while" It sounds like you were referring to the game in general, not just Stadium.

^Mario133: Do you have the ability to record videos? I find it helps me to look at videos of myself playing and compare them to other pro videos of the same strat to see where I'm losing time.

Yeah I can record but to record a successful run is hard but I'll see what I can do. I'll also try to get some vids on the computer of me playing if possible.

cool, melee badges
I agree with all, except 90k, it should definately be 100k for HRC.
EM/CM .. no idea :E

edit: regarding the last posting date.. is this already done? or are the badges already avail? ^_^

@Skywalker:

It's 90k because the rest of the modes thresholds are about as hard as 90k.

Ugh 3:10 will some day arrive if I can complete the easy strats sad to say I'm only able to get good times on hard strats or ones other then type 3 >_>

Anyways I have 8 vids right now of me playing I'll make more and put them all up once I sub 3:15 may be >_>
I would rather do this once I sub 3:10 but I don't think I'll make it 3:12 max for me I think

still no badges avail? =/

Badges won't be available until the Melee Stadium section of the portal is working, and who knows when that will be...

But... it works

It does but not as perfect as we would like there are still glitches with adding time totals when viewing your individual records page. Although it seems when viewing the over all THS rankings page everything adds up. At any rate it is useless to ask for the badges if they can not handle this simple problem yet how long do you think it would be when next we ask for the badges before there made? For now I'm waiting for someone that will actually step up and make this site as great as it can be till then expect a few months or so before even this miner bug is to be fixed -_-

Sorry if this was a little harsh it is just I had enough of waiting for false hope of something actually getting done hear >_>

But not correctly. As Mario133 said, totals aren't adding up right in places. I believe that's the only major remaining issue left besides the badges, right?

As far as I know yes which comes to the question what is taking so long? I declare that we get someone like Nintendude1189 elected administrator of the stadium section so we can get all these miner bugs ironed out that know one else dedicated enough wants to do for us >_>
