I'm pretty sure kirby has an unbeatable tactic where he can stand by the ledge and hold B and you can't hit him without getting sucked up and then he can run off the ledge and kill you both. My friend did it to me 10 times yesterday and I lost because whenever I tried to hit him with a pokeball or motion sensor bomb I missed and now I'm not the best on my block anymore

Actually, Kirby can suicidecancel att the bottom of the screen, killing the opponent, and surviving himself. Not sure why but I think it´s because the hitbox of the opponent is below kirby.

EDIT: There is no reason for puff to be on the ledge when the opponent don´t guard it, and not approaching as puff(or anyone else really, even if puff is good for creating the situation where the opponent wont approach) until like one minute left.
If cliffhangers would get restricted as a camping tactic, platform camping should get restricted (since both "can" be beaten, even though I´m not sure about the best ways against platformcamping)...

Ok but platform camping doesn't give you invincibility frames xD

safehaven is the best troll I've seen around here lately.

uhh
falco's downsmash charge gives you invincibility frames
throwing gives you invincibility frames
respawning gives you a whopping 120 invincibility frames
lots of things gives you invincibility frames.

Ya, platform camping definitely doesn't give you invincibilty SB, so I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

My point, if it wasn't clear enough, was: why do we have to put restriction on platform camping, like Smasher89 said, as if it was some game-breaking tactic..?

I do not think planking and camping are comparable.

I don't think planking is relevant. I don't think it will ever become a game-breaking tactic as long as there are smart and talented players attending national level tournaments. It is certainly considerable as a strategy at points through out a tournament but. .that's the old addage of "play to win"

I said it before but its not even worth discussing anymore at this point. There's no point arguing over "if then" and "but that" statements. Let's just wait till Genesis and we'll see what's what after that.

I wasn't saying that platform camping gives you invincibility. I was giving other examples of things that DO give invincibility that we don't ban because that'd be stupid.

You're being snarky.

The fact that grabbing the edge grants invincibility is beside the point. The fact that it is so easy to take the edge for invincibility is the problem. You can't just use throw invincibility out of no where, abusively, in a 1 v. 1. The two other examples are laughable and you didn't even mention rolling and sidestepping.

Small correction: it's in the same place as Kirby. So Kirby and like 6 other characters die during the same frame, so Kirby can't save himself. Larger characters like Bowser give Kirby 3 frames to save himself. I don't know why the hurtbox doesn't interact with attacks while inside Kirby.

in regards to the bad kids in the thread

hey look smart intelligent players (HAX M2K) just said this is banworthy soooo maybe lose your ego and realize u should listen to them?

its like not hard to understand that maybe your opinion doesnt deserve attention and maybe u should calm down and stop posting long enough to listen. and u might learn something

or u could just keep trying to be super clever smashboards awesome people and probably still suck at the game forever. i mean its up to you

yes and saying "prove this tactic is broken" makes u look totally fuking stupid to anyone other than other totally fuking stupid people
"i want proof before i ban this" is also totally ********. you dont want proof, u want a certain amount of undefined and varying things to happen or be properly embedded into your small brain so that u finally change your mind and take a different and equally dogmatic stance
this isnt proof of any sort, and its a stretch to say that reasoning is even involved in this kind of thinking

tldr- smashboards is a hangout for unintelligent males who think they are smart cause they play video games

its easy for people like brookman who will never have anything at stake in these tournaments. so to an outsider it doesnt matter at all, even after genesis it wont matter, cause u wont win any money anyway

the problem is also that smart players will do this to beat smart players. and the game would die. but who cares
not that there will be "smart players to counter this"
its not like complete morons are the only people who will consider this

at this point no one is even reading or thinking about the situation they are just trying to get cool points

also for players like overlord who cant argue with what i say, just say that im trolling. that way u dont have to prove how dumb u actually are. of course u dont really care about this cause u will never win any bug tournaments anyway, so of course u have tunnel vision.

Guys, more importantly, Armada said Puff should be banned, so let's be smart about this and blindly listen to whatever he says without any reasoning or critical thinking of any kind.

I like the part where safehaven said that if I listen to M2K & Hax's opinions I'll get better at the game, and if I don't I will continue to suck forever.

PP is better at the game than Hax and M2K, and he thinks this tactic is beatable...

So, safehaven logic: If you think the tactic is unbeatable (disagreeing with PP) you're a noob.
no i go with people who have experienced

PLANKING AT HIGH LEVEL

and pp has not sooooooo whats the deal
also thats not logic, logic is a science, that would be reasoning

SO u are really ********, another person who thinks theyre smart cause they play video games and dont see a lot of sunlight but is actually dumb

If the only explanation one can fathom for why someone might think or act a certain way is because they're "stupid," that person may just be looking into a mirror.
