Gym layout.

Hey, I have a bit of a problem with the current layout of the gyms, and that is this, there are four different gyms, Power, Speed, Flying, Energy, and if we look at their respective memberships, they look like this...

Flying = 7
Power = 6
Energy = 4
Speed = 3

In other words, some gyms are much more active than others. Speed seems to be just... un-used right now. My suggestion is the Removal of a gym, re-arranging characters into gyms that more fit the characters description. (What is energy gym even supposed to mean? Should have called it "Characters I'm not sure where they fit gym.", lol)

I'd much rather a Heavyweight, middleweight and lightweight devisions. That way we could have more people per gym, and, a more enjoyable experience because each gym contains more characters.

My Suggestion : (I'm aware this needs tweaks bad!)

Spoiler:

Okay, so obviously lightweight has too many characters, please help me trim it XD

You'll also notice that I separated all the multi-characters like PkmN Trainer, Samus and Shiek/Zelda, I thought if the point of the Gyms was to decide who was best with a given type of character, well, you shouldn't be allowed to switch characters mid-match, especially when they play different!.

But yea, feedback or opinions on this suggestion would be welcome.


Afterthoughts -
Could Zelda be considered a heavy? I mean, she moves slow and her attacks can be fairly slow sometimes, but pack a big punch. I was thinking along the same lines with lucas, but, thats a ridiculous thought having him in the same gym as the big boys, still, tho...

Metaknight could be moved up, because he is metaknight.

Snake could possibly be considered heavyweight. Nothing packs a punch like an explosive to the face.

game is the lightest character last i checked, rob is heavy, and fox and shiek should be mid

Thanks

I figured Fox should be mid, however, I wanted to divide up characters who had similar move sets. Fox and Falco shouldn't be in the same gym, IMHO (actually I'm sounding like a hypocrite because of what I said in my previous post about Pkmn Trainer XD).

I guess what I really want is more diversified gyms that can be enjoyable for a longer period of time, dividing up characters with similar move sets can do that, I'm hoping, anyway.

Once again, thank you for that, I wasn't actually aware G&W was the lightest tho.... makes sense.. he's completely flat

Sheik shouldnt be mid, he dies much faster than Zelda, Zelda is middle. Sheik has died for me at 90%, and even 80 at times. He's a light.


I say Sheik is a he because Zelda is pretending to be a guy, so I roll with it.

If both Ness and Lucas have Pk thunder, it's not unique, now is it ;P? (/smartass)

lol, but thanks for clearing that up, it SORT of makes sense.

Samus I always thought of as heavy, but I'm no expert on her You wouldn't think she'd be floaty tho wearing that metal power suit. XD

But yea, if this was refined a bit to something everyone could agree on, I think I'd much rather have 3 gyms with 7 members (or an average of seven ) than 2 basically inactive gyms and 2 active ones (each of which only has like 1 character I like in them.)

I understand your thinking about the four gyms, Zach. However, The number of gyms should be somewhat proportional to the active userbase for this forum... which is fairly low, thus, there should be a lower number of gyms. IMHO.

4 gyms is nice and all, but not if theres always inactive ones.

Stupid choice.I mostly join gyms because my mains are there.2 mains in middleweight,1 main in light weight and 1 main in heavyweight.and then again.. i want to play with Link and Snake mostly.And they both are in the same category,the power gym.

"Smash underground Lightweight champion (of the wooooooorld!)"

Gym leader is way too pokemon anyway lol

Why is Link Middleweight? Anyways, this seems like cool idea. Later on, when we have enough members it should be changed to 4 gyms though.

LOL. D:<

no i like the weight division because if its weapons then it would be link tl falco and snake and that mean me=fail....HARD!!!!

Honestly, I don't think I'm really qualified to put a finalized list together, but lets try.

Spoiler:

I've rearranged it so its 11, 12, 14, much more balanced. Unfortunately we have the whole "characters with similar movesets" grouped again, but, I s'pose that is the point really

Oops! I meant to and thought I did that! Fixed!

Rob is heavy? Since when? He's so floaty and quick, and honestly not all that hard to knock out as long as you hit him hard enough so he doesn't have a chance to fly back.

Again, I don't understand why nintendo thinki Metal is light... Samus and Rob should not be floaty XD
