[NR]: Was Not Ranked from last update

Singles Notes

• Atomsk takes his 1st place spot back from dabuz, as he has not lost a match since the 6th of this month. In dabuz's position, it doesn't really help that he suffered 2 losses in a row! One to Ozz and another to YoshQ!

• HolyNightmare is known to usually be in the top placings in every AllisBrawl ladder season. He does it again and reaches the 2nd place spot, using his main, R.O.B.

• Now something we all haven't seen in a LONG time...a Donkey Kong player in the top 32 since ook last season! He goes by the name of Dr. Grandpa and is performing quite averagely as I can see, but just playing really good people.  

• These rankings were taken at 7:30 AM ET on Friday, February 19, 2010.

Doubles Notes

• What's this?! There is a new team that has taken the 1st place spot and that would be "Da Dragonz!" This team consists of Key and Inspectah, as mikeray4 and Bizkit have fallen to 4th place, being kicked off their throne for once!
  
  
• There are also a lot more activity and new teams on the rankings and they seem to not be playing around! I'm seeing a lot more good players from singles teaming and entering doubles, getting ahead very quickly! Tearbear and ChocoNaner, known as "flapjack and knuckles" used to team in the last season and did exceptionally well. Now they are teaming again and have made it to the top 16 already with 16 wins and 0 losses.

• Something fun that I can spot is another team called "Da Dragon Slayerz," which consists of Waft-OLi and Chad81 (formally known as Debom, who one of the last season's champs). I am unsure if their objective is to actually defeat the top team, or just surpass them. Maybe we will see soon!

Future Changes?

Now that the placings are shown and taken care of, I want to bring you guys back to the changes I was mentioning at the beginning of the update. As I said, these updates are going receive some major changes and you as a community will be a big part of it! I know I asked for suggestions last week, but still require a little bit of feedback from whoever is willing to help me out! Here are a few things I took into consideration and are thinking about:

-These “weekly” updates may become bi-weekly or even monthlies. This would make each update more to look forward to as the changes from the last update to the new would have much more changes. What do you guys think? Should the frequency of the updates change? Or should they remain weekly?

-Someone suggested I should maybe add in player interviews with the top 32/16 and have one each article. Only question I have for you guys on this is what questions would you guys expect to be asked? We have already provided player interviews in the past. I have heard some were boring and more interesting questions should be asked. I want to make these as entertaining to you all as possible. Help me out here.

-I was also interested in changing the notes section of the rankings. Reducing the amount of statistics, increasing more detail. Maybe going into more about certain players? What details would be nice to see?

-Adding in some more fun features to the articles. Maybe adding in featured replays from your ladder matches? Finding some funny feedback that some angry people leave on your profiles? Suggestions?

-Any other details I should be more into? Any suggestions help that would provide a better form of new entertainment for you all to read. Just be serious please.

So this is all I have on my mind right now. Your answers will influence my thoughts on the changes for the updates. I would be VERY appreciative if you all provide some feedback on here and maybe add in thoughts of your own. I just don’t want these articles to just be another boring thing to look at on the front page. I want this to be entertaining for you guys! The wi-fi scene of Brawl may not be as hyped as offline, but it is still something that can be very much fun! Thank you all for any help and feedback I receive.

[NR]: Was Not Ranked from last week

Singles Notes

• Dabuz finally takes 1st place away from Atomsk! He has been known to do very well in his ladder performance with Olimar. Although he's been seen occasionally using other characters such as Marth, Samus, and Sonic at random. Good job!

• Atomsk suffered 7 losses in a row last week, costing him a deduction of 112 points just because he was apparently using Falco in his ladder matches for once! He is currently using King Dedede again, which is his said main, and now winning more matches again.

• The following players have dropped out of last week's rankings: [17]CutestLilLucario, [19]YoshQ, [21]Pikabunz, [25]Cheese, [26]John123456, [28]MegaPlox, [30]Big_M, and [32]Baki Hanma.

• The amount of Diddy Kong players on the top 32 have increased! There are now 5 players what either main or 2nd him, with recent Pound 4 winner, ADHD, being the highest placed player of the bunch! They even outnumber the number of Meta Knights now! Of course, Snake still leads in character count though, with 7 players still using him.

• Top 5 players with the highest win % are NAKAT (.978), Zen (.963), Negga (.950), xxpatgxx (.946), and Halz E Fresh (.926). NAKAT seems to still have his win streak going which is currently at 26. Will anyone break it?

• Top 5 players with the most wins are: Raffi-X (150), Atomsk (149), Player-1 (102), addy (89), and Takeover1806 (76). Remember folks, the amount of wins on the ladder DO NOT mean you'll place high! It's all about who you play.

• There are now 2164 registered players on the ladder. That's about 130 more players since last week!

• These rankings were taken at 6:00 AM ET on Friday, February 5, 2010.

Doubles Notes

• Making a recent change to their team name, "**** YOU MORONS THAT USE KIRBY. HE GETS BETTER ON WIFI," which consists of mikeray4 and Bizkit continue to sit at 1st place on the double ladder. They are a double snake team, who also do quite well individually in singles!
  
  
• The following teams were dropped from last week's update: [8]We want to be the very best! and [15]Green Team

• "Orihime~Ichigo" make it into the top 16 with only 4 wins and 0 losses. The team consists of Orihime Inoue and Negga. Judging from the very minimal feedback, they may be a Diddy Kong + Olimar team, but many people change characters just for doubles specifically so you can't judge anything that easily until you play them.

• Up to now, there are 395 registered teams on the ladder. Doesn't anyone else want to play in some doubles matches?

Suggestions?

Something you don't see often eh? Well to explain it all in depth, I was thinking of changing these updates a bit to keep you all interested in reading instead of just seeing these as "another update" to just look at. I would like to know what you guys think I should change. What should I stop doing? What should I start doing? Any input would help a lot! If I find your suggestion to be very useful, I may reward you with a suggestion badge for all your help. As many hours as this takes for me to write, I still want these updates to be as much entertaining as possible for you all to read! Help me out here. But anyways.....

*Updated with characters for top 64*

The Fall Ladder has finally come to a close and what an exciting season it's been! Three months have passed since the start of the ladder and it's finally time to reward the top finishers for their hard work. This season's winner might come as a bit of a surprise, as Sean managed to rise over 15 positions from a week ago to take the top spot-making the leap to first in the final hours of the ladder last night. These are the badges that will be distributed this week to all of AiB's top players.

• 1st Place: 2008 Fall Ladder Champion Badge
• 2nd-4th Place: 2008 Fall Ladder Top 4 Badge
• 5th-8th Place: 2008 Fall Ladder Top 8 Badge
• 9th-16th Place: 2008 Fall Ladder Top 16 Badge
• 17th-32nd Place: 2008 Fall Ladder Top 32 Badge
• 33rd-64th Place: 2008 Fall Ladder Top 64 Badge

The players who finished in the top 8 will been sent invitations to join the AllisBrawl Pro Lounge and the top 3 players will have beach balls made in their name. Overall 3,107 players signed up for the ladder and competed in 43,456 sets, that is approximately 7,250 hours of online Brawl or the equivalent of running sets back to back for over 300 straight days. There was an 18% increase in the number of participants and a 42% increase in number of matches played over the Fall Season.
