Another telling thing is that this isn't the first, or even second time it's been raised.

Dunno which side of the fence I personally fall on. I get the arguments against it when you compare it to players like nuthug or whatever, but being legendary doesn't have to mean being the absolute best in your field. I like to think that it can also mean that you're just a legendary player, and he probably fulfils that criteria on the basis of his being (quantifiabely) the most dedicated user.


You lot tryna tell me that you don't wish you still enjoyed toribash as much as this guy clearly does?

I 100% agree that XBCZ should get legend, the dude is overall chill to hang around when he's on and just constantly no-grabs qa

Who actually decides who has to be a legend?

yeah that's what I was gonna say
dude has dedication like no other, he deserves some recognition

I nominated him last year, p sure he got turned down

legends should be recognizable, too. xbcz is pretty recognizable and everyone knows xbcz for being the first dude to hit one belt + just by playing so much

cant say i have any negative interactions with xbcz either, i remember playing a few nograb qa games w him and it was pretty fun

I'd actually like to know whether or not he still enjoys the game -- I think anyone would struggle after 12 years. Personally, there are a few games that I no longer enjoy but still play to do something I'm good at and see a number go up (namely raiding on Destiny). I wonder if it's a similar thing with xbcz.

That said, if he genuinely still enjoys the game, fair play

I'm not trying to downplay him; his dedication is undoubtedly impressive, but I personally don't think playing a lot of the game is worthy of a legend status, given that -- as far as I know, at least -- the dude hasn't made any significant impact on the community other than being "the one belt guy".

It seems near everyone disagrees with me though, so I'm probably in the wrong.

Recognition for playing no-grab aikido consistently for 130k+ games over 12 years? Sure.Legend status? I don't think so. He hasn't had as much of an impact to the game/forum as the people who are already Legends even after playing a butt-tonne of games.

How long has he been the only player with one belt? Just having one belt might not be legend worthy, but being the only player with it... for years... is different. Maybe not enough, and apparently the anonymous council has already ruled against it before.

In his own post he seems to have an ironic appreciation for the arguments against his being legend, that just being a cool player with a positive attitude, etc... isn't enough. Or I'm reading into it too much and he unironically does think that's enough reason to make him legend.
