lol, here's my rating scale
10 - tippity top level players (ken, masashi, sastopher, cj, chu)
9 - excellent players, always place well in tournaments (krazyjones, isai, darkrain)
8 - solid tourney players, usually place pretty well in tournaments (eddie [edging on 9], wife, husband, etc.)
7 - decent tourney players, sometimes place well in tourneys (regional players, like AOB)
6 - OK players, can compete with higher-levelled players but don't usually do all that well
5 - average players, with a solid grasp of the game mechanics but not very proficient
4 - mediocre players, OK grasp of game mechanics but still has a lot to learn
3 - poor players, mostly people that have just recently been introduced to high-level techniques and strategies and lack proficiency with them
2 - most players, who are not knowledgeable of high-level techniques and only have a cursory knowledge of the game mechanics, and usually little to no knowledge about characters outside their main
1 - beginning players, who are just starting to play Melee and don't know how to play at all (but, with experience from other games, can perform simple, intuitive feats)
0 - people that don't know how to do anything gamewise
