This was my post after having a heated debate that turned into a closed thread:
"After hearing both sides on the subject of wobbling, I came to the conclusion that:
1) Ease of use doesn't dictate whether or not something should be banned. As long as the opponent doesn't use it to stall the match out and only does it till kill percents its legal. Question is, up to what percent if legal should the wobble stop? 150?
2) In this day and age we need to man up and not just ban something b/c its boring to watch. If that's the case we should instill a ledge grab limit to stop M2K from hangin out at the edge all the time, a bair limit on Jigglypuff's who only keep their back to us in midair, unallowing Jiggz to rest us at zero and only around kill percents, forcing Fox mains to refrain from shining at zero percent, officially banning Sheik's from chaingrabs instead of soft banning it, and etc.
In closing for you guys who did fight for Melee to be at Evo, and are in fact attending, are you crossing your fingers that you don't run into an ICs main in pools/bracket instead of just preparing in advance? My first response to Andrew Greenberg came off as brash because I thought he was being condescending at first when he referred to me as "Mr. TO." Since then I cleared my head, took it to twitter, and also did some research on the current issue, and came to the conclusion that I do want wobbling legal. The main issue now is would the scene that we have in NYC die out because of it being legal? Do we even care to learn how to deal w/ the technique (i.e. mashing out of grabs at early percents?) I'm all for helping you guys prep for even since you all donated upwards to 95k for it to be on the main stage, and now that its there...are we going to try to adhere to their ruleset in advance to ensure that our state can bring home a victory on that very weekend in July 2013?"
Basically I'm hosting a tourney on the 20th of April (Sudden Death XII), and the first 11 had no wobbling with no complaints. We never really had wobbling allowed at TriState events except like Apex I believe...anywho in preparation for Evo2k Prog made me realize its best we have our players get used to the fact that on the grand stage we're probably going to have to be ready for someone who's going to abuse that tactic, and there's no better way to prep for a major than at a local...so why not have it legal? I'd like to hear from all of you on the controversial subject. I'm also taking this to twitter to hear from all sides so feel free to tweet me at @xD1x and I'll gladly retweet your responses to let the public hear our voice (not like it'll change the Evo2k's TOs stance on wobbling but just to hear different sides as to why it should or shouldn't be allowed in competitive play.)
Also feel free to post in that thread or this one as we have different players from different regions chiming in as well.
