"The Lab" Sessions

[CrimsonShadow]

So I've been thinking about this for a while, and in light of the thread where Ninj was talking about playing Foxy, I had an idea.

What if we assigned a night of the week to do a lab, for TYM as a whole (or at least people that know enough to contribute). So for example, say for an upcoming week we do "Scorpion vs. Black Adam". So on the designated night, we hop into a stream, we get a good BA to stream and a few good Scorpions, and a bunch of representatives from both characters in the chat and possibly on Skype.

Then instead of just playing sets, in between the games we talk about what happened, what went wrong, what could be improved, the matchup and the tools both characters have, etc. People make suggestions.. Then we run another game. We could use online practice for this etc. Maybe a KotH with all Scorps and adams.

The point is to go slowly and actually talk stuff out, identify what's working and not working, and level up as a group. Get a few different people to play, check out the different playstyles -- maybe one Scorpion player does something that another one doesn't. Etc.

We save the footage.. Take notes.. We could talk about it for the rest of the week on TYM afterwards. Basically the point is for everyone to come together and share some info, learn, and level up. Then next week, we pick a different set of characters and go again.

I think this could be a ton of fun, and the archives and forum discussions could be beneficial to the entire community. Think of it as a matchup discussion convo where we actually test out everything that's suggested live, on the spot and make adjustments.

Anyway, I'm curious to see what people would think about this. I think it'd be pretty awesome

[THTB]

Yes. All my yes to this.

 

[G4S Killin Natzees]

I can stream on xbox maybe some-time

 

[FrothyOmen]

Good luck trying to get this to come to fruition. If I can help let me know. However I'd prefer to do something like this in an offline capacity rather than online.

As you know, I've heard that before

 

[TheSpore]

This would be a really cool idea and helpful with learning all the matchups

 

[Marcan3308]

This sounds excellent. Really could help the whole community. Hope this comes to life.

Great idea, will probably never be executed

 

[chores]

if you streamed or archived these id watch every single one

 

[CrimsonShadow]

So I think the next thing to do will be to compile a list of good players on XBL/PSN, and people with knowledge to contribute for each character -- as well as of people who'd be willing to help out and stream. Then we can find a home for it, and also have backup streamers in case someone is gone.

I would play batgirl, cyborg, or green lantern for this if you want and would consider talking
Lemme know if it ever happens

 

[Ninj]

CrimsonShadow I have the ability to record in HD. I play Catwoman and as of tomorrow I play Scorpion. I'd be happy to discuss how to pull this off logistically if you want via PM.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Cool -- I'll start contacting people tomorrow when I get back home, as well as putting the master list together.

Do you guys have suggestions for which night of the week to do it on?

Preferably a weekend.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Doing a random talk show later this week

 

[RavenDSkull]

The execution might prove to be tricky, but it's a wondeful idea. I hope it comes to fruition.

 

[ThaShiveGeek]

Would the Top/Better players ONLY play with the TOP/BETTER players or is this a Everybody on TYM type of thing. I'll tune in every video either way.

i suggest like a tuesday or something that isn't already taking up the time like WNF, also i can give the most elaborate break down of the flash, can record in HD both video and voice, and am available whenever. i can also stream as i upgraded my upload to 20 mbps so i can stream a KOTH or skype or whatever as well, so you have options, just let us know, and hopefully we can get top players to join us in this community level up effort.

 

[DiZzyPhyZiks]

This might be a little over the top but editing the footage into an informative kind of thing would be cool. You can show examples of what gets you blown up and what gets you a win.

Display some of the things discussed in chat and then video of what theyre actually talking about. The wrong move, and the right move... Assuming both things happened and were captured.

"you cant do that bcuz this happens"

"THIS was the right decision in that situation

Bumping this thread in an attempt to garner more interest. I, for one, am fully set on incorporating this into my stream as a community asset.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Thanks Blake -- I'm going to make a list thread really soon so we can keep track of the pool of people we have to work with.
