Well, boss character bans are super common. Akuma is banned in SSF2T, for example. Almost all SNK games with playable bosses have them banned too.
Want to win? Grab him. You grab that autistic rodent and yell in his face "HEY, YOU'RE MY ***** NOW", and then activate Dragon Install and blow him the **** out using your mighty girth. He's already perfect, you better be living up the reputation boy.These shoes are made for runnin'
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these shoes
Are gonna run all over you~
You may not see it, but this penguin's got a sad smile on his face. I don't know what in the blue blazes I'm gonna do to that damn running rodent. You're right, that match-up is straight masochism.
But I have a hammer. That counts, right?

I'm more worried that Nintendo will only use For Glory mode data to decide balance patches. That would end up with Little Mac been unnecessarily nerfed into the ground.
Mac actually doesn't seem to have too much trouble with the platform on Yoshis. There's probably parts where he can upsmash through it, or worst case he could just short hop up there, it's big enough to give him some room to get on the platform and fighting. It's mostly just battlefield.
Right now, the counterpick stages I'm seeing are Arena Ferox and Prism Tower. On both, none of the platforms persist between transformations.
It seems like it probably shouldn't work, but Bwett was using it pretty effectively at Shockwave 3.
banned in Brawl, that one character who had no negative match ups and only one neutral matchup, who so happened to shut down quite a portion of the roster from any kind of viability? No. Good luck trying to convince the community that ,,, and need to be banned at some point because its not happening.
Oh hey Emblem Lord. I remember you from back in the days of old.
Actually, Meta Knight was banned at one point, but the choice was quite controversial. Following the Unity Ruleset Committee's disbanding, MK returned to the fold. Of course, that being said, MK isn't the only character that had a nearly clean record in Brawl. Icies are a menace with their terrifying chaingrabs.Was
I know that Meta Knight was banned. But did he stay banned? Of course not. Its nice that you brought up the Ice Climbers, another near perfect character that guess what, wasn't banned.
There have been some tournaments. Tourney Locator has run four of them now, and a couple other places have had them as well.
The problem is that in addition to being really fast and strong, Little Mac's attacks are also very safe, so he leaves almost no openings if played well. God forbid if he's got KO punch on deck, if you get baited by anything or even sit in shield too long it's lights out.
Only reason he wasn't was due to NJ and Alex Strife saying no to banning him.
Amazing horizontal speed, solid aerial options for spacing/comboing/killing, massively buffed specials except up/neutral B (down B way more viable, side B nearly guaranteed shield break and doesn't stop you in the air anymore, almost 20% damage on grounded up B). Good off stage options and pretty solid dtilt/utilt. I think DK has the makings of a high tier character but I think with enhanced meteors/footstools in Smash 4 it will be his easily gimped recovery along with bad trading in the air (his dair doesn't beat shiek's uair which is kinda silly) that will make winning with him an uphill battle against some of the best characters. I may have placed him one category too high but I do think he is better than people give him credit for.
No order within the categories.
Beat around the bush all you want, point still stands that he wasn't banned. Why is it so impossible to believe that if one character is "considered to be overpowered" [even though its still not going to be at Meta Knight levels if we're going by the majority's opinions…] that major TOs will oppose the banning of said character? You can throw around every bit of evidence pointing towards why he should've been banned, but you can't argue against the fact that he isn't banned. I'm not going to respond to this anymore since we're just going to end up repeating the same stuff.
I guess it can. I mean, sometimes I have a lot of trouble landing it because of the shorter range (as I'm too used to a character with a good grab range) so I mess it up once in a while.
Yoshi is super versatile, that's his biggest strength. He doesn't have huge combos or massive kill power, but he's generally got a tool for every situation. You have to use that versatility to get your kills, get the opponent worried about one option, then go for a different one. Or just Down B out of shield, it's bonkers.
Honestly I kinda feel like Pit is the new Marth. Spacing out his tilts and stuff is super important and he's safe when he spaces correctly but unsafe when he screws it up. He's got a great dash start and his turn around ftilt/fsmash are great tools against opponents forced to approach you. And his grab/dash grab are excellent. But his aerial game just seems a bit lacking in power, priority, and speed.
You forget the Mii Swordsman. My SmriPnda Mii just exudes cool. But I do lose with him >_>
I feel like Greninja's grab animation is a bit misleading on the range it actually has. That said, I still think it's at least decent and is aided by his slippery movement.
From what I hear, Gannon will be a solid character if/when custom moves are more accepted.
There's definitely a lot of hope there, but even then, imo, even his most optimal moveset won't touch some of his most vital shortcomings, but rather, make semi-non-issues into complete non-issues. The two moves that I think have the highest hopes placed in them are wizard dropkick (the blue divekick) and his dark fists (slower, but stronger and higher upb). For WDK, some think it'll solve projectile problems - I don't think it will any more than normal wizkick. Wizkick already cancels projectiles and you can FTilt out of it, so it's a fair enough anti-projectile measure. I see hope in its insane horizontal aerial range; might give him a concrete landing option, which is another big issue.
If you want dynamic, reactive based gameplay...Sheik and Zss are going to be the ones to deliver on that front.
SCIV banned Hilde, and for pretty good reason, but it had a big impact on the community.
He can punish chokes that are teched on the ground, I hear not everyone can do this though?, and on the ground he still has frame advantage if they do tech it so he's not screwed. His aerial one though....
I haven't gone fill detail in testing what he can do on some vs others.
You want to see a Fighter where everyone has a winning chance, eh? Have I got I game for you...
His DACUS is most definiely a consideration. That alone could be his glorious ascent. As for customs, as I mentioned somewhere before, they smooth out minor problems, but the only thing thus far that even glances at his greatest weaknesses is the DACUS.
