    Though it's quite a stretch, I think that having a 'clan system' in SMASH would be a fantastic idea. Clans would be ranked, much like the current system, but their ELO would be the sum of the clan members own ELOs. So for example, if I was ranked 1300, and I was in a clan with two 1200 players, the clan's rank would be either 3700, or 700. There would also be a cap to the amount of players that can be in each clan, for obvious reasons. As for who can create a clan, it can maybe be something you can buy with XP, or via premium. Overall, I feel this would add a new feel to the gamemode, as it gives you even more of an incentive to rank up and play.

    So, thoughts?

    I totally agree with this!
    altho for clan ranking, wouldnt it be better for the formula to be:
    TotalElo of All clan members / PeopleInClan = Clan Elo?
    Example:
    Bob with 1300 ELo and Dave with 1200 ELo make a clan,
    (1300+1200)/2= 1250, so the clan Elo would be 1250


    In addition, if this ever gets approved, it would be cool to have team games in Smash, just as SSBB and all its previous games had it.
    i think it would really mix things up, and get it more interesting!

    I think clans should have a seperate queue so they don't get put in matches with solo players (no chance at all for the solo), but can still share the same ranking system/servers with a few adjustments. For example, there could be a 2v2 queue, a 3v3 queue, a 4v4 queue, and even higher when we get matches that support more than 8 players. In addition to this, I think teams in the FFA queue should be bannable.

    When I said matches, I meant maps. Right now for maps that support more than 4 players we have:
    Fortress - 6 players
    Atrium, FortSponge, ResearchLab, ShroomKingdom, Ice (unused) - 8 players

    I think the clans would be a good idea, but maybe on a totally separate ranking system. People can make teams and that team has a rank, and you would be put up against other teams with a similar rank as you. This added in with the classes or characters idea would be a great addition to the game.

    I'm looking at adding some bigger maps, so I don't see why we couldn't have a team vs. team mode at the very least. That being said, it's all up Highlife and Lazertester whether something like that gets implemented.

    At the very least, there will be a map with a larger cap than 8 players.

    since there will e larger maps, can users submit their own maps to be accepted?

    Yes, we do accept map submissions for Smash! We haven't added any yet, but I have been considering a few.

    Clans in my opinion. HORRIBLE. Not trying to be mean, But it would be so unfair.

    As far as I was aware this was a dead topic... Didn't expect any more replies. But yes, I can see what you mean. But as roxie suggested, team matches would stop any unfairness.
