Competition Section
Posted: Wed Aug 25, 2010 12:35 pm
Playing Touhou recently made me think: we should have a 'Friendly Competition' section within the forums. This would allow community members to compare their skills at games against each other, even if a game lacks an online/multiplayer function. This could work for a large number of games in which high scores or Win/Loss ratio could be recorded.
Just a few games this section could work with:
- Touhou
- Rhythm Games(DDR/Rock Band/Etc)
- Pokemon
- Fighting Games (Blazblue/Street Fighter/Etc)
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl
As well as scores, it would be an excellent place to set up community tournaments for a large number of games as well, including many that cannot really have scores compared, such as racing games, RTS, or shooters.
The main worry I can think of would be the attempt at submitting fake records, either by lying or the use of cheats/bots. Touhou is the only real exception, considering it allows you to save your replays for others to view, but for the other single player records, it would be too easy to simply cheat and submit a high score. Asking for a replay for any game would be nice, however, not everyone has means of recording their gameplay.
