    Arguing against subjectivity: let's talk about planking

    Again I stress that we need to look at sets rather than matches. It doesn't take skill out. If anythibn it adds more because you can't just play one character. In starcraft, 4 zerglings against 1 tank is un winnable for the lings. So u don't ban tanks instead you send a muta and u win. Derp.

    Arguing against subjectivity: let's talk about planking

    First off id like to say that this was a great read and commend you for writing so much for this community. Now a couple things id like to say about this. Firstly, something I got out of your talk on banning characters and such. It kind of dawns on me that we as smashers should start playing...

    The 2/3rds Majority - An Appeal to Subjective Ruling

    so what about the rest of the community that can think objectively and not hold a bias? Are you claiming everyone on SWF isn't concerned with the greater good of the game? If you cast a poll right now on what people wanted banned, I doubt that everyone would ban something as ridiculous as Snakes...

    The 2/3rds Majority - An Appeal to Subjective Ruling

    but dont the BBR make decisions for us, mass of smashers? A community vote is still good to help convince them.

    The 2/3rds Majority - An Appeal to Subjective Ruling

    i think we need to stand back and ask ourselves what exactly are we trying to be right about? ...meaning im kinda confused myself

    The 2/3rds Majority - An Appeal to Subjective Ruling

    Ah. ok yeah that wasnt what i was getting from you lol. yeah i dont understand why someone would ban that. I think just many people want the straight like FD fox only (or MK only in this case) and what they dont realize is that those legal stages like rainbow cruise are actually a crucial part...

    The 2/3rds Majority - An Appeal to Subjective Ruling

    SuSa i get the feeling you think that every TO is a complete dumb@$$. like. at most tournies people know what smashers expect and wont do something ridiculous like legalize rumble falls. Otherwise theyd never get people to come to their tournies.

    The 2/3rds Majority - An Appeal to Subjective Ruling

    The best we could do with this is use it to convince the BBR to make these rule changes. We can vote all we want but inevitably its up to them. I do agree though that it does make a very convincing argument when the majority of the community agrees on something. Also tournament organizers are...

    Ledge Grab Rule

    I never said I thought timing out was easy. It seems like its an incredibly hard thing to do. At the same time though, it still happens. take like smash DIing. its a hard thing to do for many new players. but experienced players it comes second nature. Well with practice timing out could become...

    Ledge Grab Rule

    You might think that planking is only an issue for one character but in reality it detracts from the whole game. Timing out wins for that matter are a problem too. Brawl is a FIGHTING game not a hityourenemyandrunaway game. It drags out games longer than they should and makes the skill cap...

    Sirlin's Principles and how they apply to Smash

    whoops. sorry guys.s its late where im at so im just gunna take myself outta this discussion. Also, i have not read it, but i heard about it. thought it was mostly on SF. My bad.

    Ledge Grab Rule

    fair enough. The thing is, if a TO doesn't know what planking is then they probly would never know the TO discretion rule. Also, no offense, but i thnk too that they shouldnt be hosting tournies if they dont know that either. Like, not gunna lie, any top rated smasher or TO is gunna know...

    Sirlin's Principles and how they apply to Smash

    sorry i gotta say this: That and u could only build zealots, zerglings, and marines. XD In all seriousness though, i think the best way to look at his book is that although its mostly about SF we can take a lot out of it and apply it to smash.
