  • GC #1: Zero Gravity

Due to convenience reasons, SHS will no longer be operating on this site! We are now located on facebook and are using discord for the chat. For information, our discord chat is here: https://discord.gg/84ue8Vv. It has been a pleasure meeting and serving everyone on this website, but if we wish to move on, we must start fresh in a new location. I hope everyone understands and we hope to see new and old faces. With all that is said and done, SHS is officially up and running again and we had our first tournament on 2/24/2017!! As discussed, we can still hold the 10 year anniversary party. - Thanks for you understanding! With love, Pijy

------[ #1: Zero Gravity ]------
By SHS_JJEmpire

Meet the new kids on the block. And their Squad.
Zero Gravity, the newest Squad since Wolves Anonymous, was created recently by Luna Eclipse, and the Squad is loaded with fresh recruits; only two of Zero Gravity's members, nightmoves and Cloud_x92, are long-time veterans at SHS. But if that's stopping you from seeing Zero Gravity as a potential threat, you're definitely being cocky. Almost all of the Zero Gravity members are Brawlers, and it's not even certain whether Luna Eclipse and Nevrast, both having done very well in tournaments, are the elites of their Squad.
"I think Zero Gravity has the potential to be a Brawl powerhouse," Kirby, interim leader of the Chess Pieces, said earlier. "And even the top Squad if they tried hard enough. They could definitely make a difference."
However, other Squad leaders aren't as convinced as Kirby is of Zero Gravity possibly being top dog.
"They have great potential for Brawl," Krystal Sharz said about Zero Gravity. "But since the Leaderboard is based on Brawl, Mario Kart, and Pokemon, they still have a long way to go. However, I'm sure they'll be closely watched by the other Squads. They do pose a threat."
"Zero Gravity has the best in Brawl so far," Jakyl-9 said. "Just like Wolves Anonymous and the Chess Pieces, though all but Team Rocket has a weakness in the other games. I don't mean by skill level, what I'm saying is that they don't have many members who plays Mario Kart or Pokemon."
Besides from a possible lack of diversity in gaming, what may hold Zero Gravity back from a dominant performance is inactivity. Cloud_x92 is studying at college, nightmoves goes absent sometimes, Luna Eclipse is busy with her job, and it's dubious whether some of the new recruits would be around.
"Right now, our biggest obstacle is being active," Nevrast said as part of his respond to my PM. "It's hard with Luna having a new job to be decisive on themes and such, and other members can only be active at certain times. Hopefully, people will have more time in the summer.
"For now, I think our best bet is to use the rest of this tourney season and see where our active members' strength lies. That way, in the future, we know who will be attending what, and can get an estimate on points for the Leaderboard."
Summer is usually the time gaming clans--especially SHS--get a big activity boost, and while it won't fix all of Zero Gravity's problems, it'll certainly help them a lot if they can get momentum going.
If Zero Gravity manages to get active, and get the additional support they'll need from Mario Kart and Pokemon gamers, they can contend for the title this summer, and maybe even dominate.
So keep Zero Gravity on your radar, Squads. They have the pieces; it's just a matter of whether they can manage putting them together.
