For the Scholars Spring Semester Project I would like to focus on one of my own personal passions in life, Super Smash Bros Melee. I’d like to take a look at the true level of character diversity and the level of placements for each individual character. To do this I would look at the top 32 placements of various tournaments over the last year as well as keeping on top of events headed into the 2020 season. This would follow under the original inquiry part of the G.O.A.L.S. as I would be researching an aspect of the game that is not well documented up to this point. I plan to start work over winter break, my first step is to set the rules of how I will weigh each placement, whether I consider secondary characters, etc. The second step is to construct a list of the tournaments that I believe are of a high enough skill level to include in my list of placements. I imagine I will complete both of these steps within the first two weeks of the spring semester.
