Smash GG Matchup Frequency Checker

Inspiration

Recent problems experience by the Smash 64 Tournament Scene at the RIT Smash Club.

What it does

Finds the frequency of matchups between players in our tournament series in an effort to even out the head to head matchups and encourage fair competition.

How I built it

I did all of my code in Python, using the Pycharm IDE, the new Smash GG Developer API, and Graphene for GraphQL requests.

Challenges I ran into

Low experience with requests in Python.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Completing MVP with a reasonable amount of time left before the deadline.

What I learned

How to approach using new and unfamiliar APIs.

What's next for Smash GG Matchup Frequency Checker

Potentially adding the ability to automatically seed future tournaments to encourage the most new head to head matchups.
