Alright @Yikarur tear this one apart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twPZVXKeDOk This also highlights where I feel like sets are more important than the stock debate. I'd like a major with early flex sets.

I'd like to jump back into DH a bit. This is because I just watched 2GGT this last Saturday's videos, and watched a stage meta effect in action. Some of you know already, I had completely forgotten, DH has no Z-axis. This makes certain moves, like in the video Ness' airdodge worse. I get it...

I was summarizing, without wanting to dig up the original FB comment thread. There were caveats, like a couple stated in your reversed statement, but at least in Las Vegas players that come to play, we're pro-2-stocks. We do have a mild elitism in that "if you don't show, you don't get a vote"...

If this was to me, calm down (so quick to attack without backing), I've got Z, Hino, and Xanntha on record for it, and I'm almost positive Zankoku (granted not PR10, but respected TO and admin here) and SK92 have agreed with this opinion during the discussion. If it helps, Japan (not sure if...

To paraphrase / summarize my local PR's thoughts on 2 vs 3 stocks: "3 stocks provides nothing extra except that SD's hurt less. On the other hand, 2 stocks requires a higher level of consistency, execution, and as an added bonus, moves the tournament along at a non-frustrating pace." I'm also...

The double standard I'm seeing is on-paper type of arguments. Kongo has 2 very high (read: some characters require more than DJ to access) platforms, where the superior mobile character can make leaps between the two. DH technically has one. Granted that "degenerate" game-play typically...

@Lomogoto You want this thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/stage-legality-discussion-thread-round-ii.424554/ You're explaining why a stage would be legal by being played mechanically, the most we should cover stage discussion here is how it affects players outside game-meta, stuff before a...

Unsure if towards myself, but I'll clarify preemptively. Unless there's some "unnatural" reason that a stage is bad for some people (e.g. color blind problems, glitch in a legal stage) I see no real reason to ban it at a local level. If it is adjusting the meta that harshly, then it deserves...

In the local scene here, WHZ Omega was banned due to the prolific Villager turnout during Customs format. It is still banned because after ban we had a couple of colorblind people (even outside Smash scene) say they couldn't see the sapling. Even after a few minutes of inspecting. We have a...

But it wouldn't make sense to have LF to play a Bo3 which discerns who gets how much money a player gets on that match, while previous matches have no near-immediate effect. Plus I've seen immediate player complaint. I believe @Ghostbone made the thought that you were coupling the "standard"...

You missed: Despite the fact that you quoted it. Sure, he mentioned set-ups being prioritized to bracket, but clearly (to me) an afterthought. And there are tournaments run with just one set-up that still do friendlies afterwards. If they waited (at mine), they could have played friendlies...

A lot of assuming and overthinking here. Think's point is that top players get more bracket time. Money is on the line in bracket, friendlies normally not so. There are more than enough players that play differently on and out of bracket. He's not talking about set-ups being taken away...

Thanks Pazx, the read was good. BSR has gaps to it, namely it punishes your first ban if Flex goes Bo5. I think that I would Flex on Bo3 sets only, and only over-writing that it is a Flex, not the Pbans or WDSR. This. Consistency needs to happen in the whole tournament. The other argument...

You've pretty much summed it up. I'm of the opinion that (at least in majors) pools shouldn't have as much eliminating power as they normally do. Unfortunately the strongest argument is time, which you don't get a lot of when you hold multiple games at an event - in this case I leave my...

Personally I like it only due to that I'm a stamina player - I require more time in-game to figure out my opponents than most. We have had a 3 stock "un-ranked" tournament run a few times here, and the players that made top 8 consistently prefer 2 stocks. The recurring argument was consistency...
