the sbr is not the brawl community, they are part of it but TO's can decide whatever they want.i just want all of you to see what the SBR has done.
The people spoke 4 times in fovor of a ban, yet the SBR STILL says no. Remember this day.
As one of the ONLY real men standing up and doing whats right, i recommend TO's to start hosting meta banned events.
MANY MANY TO's were waiting on the SBR because they are to weak to do what is right. Now that SBR says meta should stay, at least 80% of those wimpy TO's will keep meta legal.the sbr is not the brawl community, they are part of it but TO's can decide whatever they want.
no offence to the sbr so please dont take this the wrong way, but everyone stop acting like theyre decisions are gods words. A group of people on a forum only have as much say in the community as you let them.
80% seems a little low to me... 95% seems more accurate.MANY MANY TO's were waiting on the SBR because they are to weak to do what is right. Now that SBR says meta should stay, at least 80% of those wimpy TO's will keep meta legal.
Wimpy? Nah...MANY MANY TO's were waiting on the SBR because they are to weak to do what is right. Now that SBR says meta should stay, at least 80% of those wimpy TO's will keep meta legal.
he's right on the money, people are still going to argue about this and there is nothing we can do about itThe thing everyone seems to not realize is that this is NOT going away. People are still going to whine and complain about the whole thing. That being said, I'm glad at least something came out.
Most definitely. Much <3 for Xyro.Well, I suppose it's a good thing I live in Texas, then. <3 Xyro.

a~nd this, except for the last sentence.The thing everyone seems to not realize is that this is NOT going away. People are still going to whine and complain about the whole thing. That being said, I'm glad at least something came out.
OMG they banned MKbut let's just say Metaknight has overstayed his welcome.
*high five*i recommend TO's to start hosting meta banned events.
This question keeps on coming up. And just so you know, it is less then a quarter(from what I remember.) If they wanted to help their mains and just be greedy he would be banned.Wow 4 polls all in favor of pro ban and he's not banned lol
I have no prob with the NO but if next year at this time if he continues being overcentralizing the metagame that would need to change. Btw how many mk mainers or 2nds are on SBR?
Well, I guess the next time we have a close presidential race, we should just keep the old president in office until the people come to a significant enough majority to justify going through the bother of the transfer of power...A good decision by the SBR.
Some posters have said this decision shows that the SBR is out of touch with the community opinion, but that's bogus. All of the polls have been ~55% in favour of a ban. Such a small majority indicates widespread disagreement on whether Meta Knight should be banned, and in the face of such disagreement, the only rational choice is to be conservative and err on the side of caution: not removing a character from the game, a radical and unprecedented step.
So not only did the SBR make the right choice, it made a choice that reflects the community poll.
Yeaaaaah, good thing I didn't participate. If I had, i wouldnt've had the money to make it back home, since top 3 split to just get the tourney over with.Let's just hope that the SBR's decision gives TO's the push they need to start experimenting with rulesets. Especially in Puerto Rico. I don't want to see another 8 person tournament again.
Yes, because the SBR was created to make the rules for TOs to follow to the letter, no questions asked. We also ask that all TOs never make their own decisions or follow the requests of their local community over what weWell, I guess the next time we have a close presidential race, we should just keep the old president in office until the people come to a significant enough majority to justify going through the bother of the transfer of power...
Look, 55% isn't much, but it's still a majority, and it's been consistent the whole time. The only reason Meta isn't banned right now is because the SBR is made up of self-appointed, self-elected individuals. They don't reflect the COMMUNITY at all, just the top players, and as many people have pointed out, apparently only the opinions of the top players matter in this community. The SBR is a good idea, but it isn't set up to take the community into account at all, and that's the flaw, evident in how Meta won this last decision.
The SBR held their private poll before the public one. They decided before hand the math for how the public poll would effect the private poll. In order for the community poll to have made ANY difference in the SBR's decision, the public pro-ban % needed to be 66%, a minimum difference of 11% from ALL previous polls. There was NO WAY anyone in there thought that would actually happen; they KNEW that Meta wouldn't be banned. There was no way for them NOT to; the math wasn't in the pro-ban's favor. This setup is JUST LIKE the Electoral College in politics: set up expressly so that popular opinion has less of an effect on the outcome.
Basically: Meta got saved by a bunch of elite individuals that really only think that their top-level of play matters, while forgetting that all of the people Meta actually screws on a daily basis... pay for their plane tickets, hotel rooms, and pot money. I can't agree with that... and that's why I'm happy that Xyro's keeping Meta banned here in Texas.
The SBR consists of members who are good in what they do. Just because a ton of scrubs can't beat metaknights, does not mean he should be banned. The SBR saw this and acted on it. They got the publics opinion, they knew what it was and it affected the vote. However, the vote was still in theAntiban favor. If you think that the SBR is just a bunch of hooligans looking for ways to ruin tournaments and make rules that TO's MUST FOLLOW TO THE LETTER. You are wrong. If you read the first post, it encourages metaknight banned tournaments.Well, I guess the next time we have a close presidential race, we should just keep the old president in office until the people come to a significant enough majority to justify going through the bother of the transfer of power...

This is a really crappy comparison.Well, I guess the next time we have a close presidential race, we should just keep the old president in office until the people come to a significant enough majority to justify going through the bother of the transfer of power...
