Use neutral and over-B.

If all you did was use Tornado it wouldn't make it any less of a viable strategy. Just ignore that idiot.

Snake's F-tilt is probably the "best" tilt. Snake could be in competition for the best set of tilts as well.

If a glitch is useful in competitive play, it is an AT. I just want to point that out. Glitch / AT are no where close to mutual exclusion.

Yeah, this is a valid point SP. The issue is, unlike in melee, the usefulness of AT's greatly vary with character. Brawl does lend itself to these kind of discoveries.

Snake's Grenade's aren't really screwed by Luigi's Mansion at all. In fact, the level makes them harder to avoid. As for saving you his u-tilt, that's true. But I will point out that snake has 5 + more kill moves than MK. Snake is so much more likely to be able to abuse the "Cave of Life"...

Oh, touche. A good idea if you do end up playing on this unfortunate map.

Yeah, and my logic is that snake is your only "bad" match-up, so your stage ban should be to avoid a bad match-up if they opt to change characters match 2 or 3. Consider there's so many other good stages for MK, like Norfair..even Lylat is good against a lot of characters.

I would love to Brawl with you guys. I live in Columbia, where do you do most of your crew get-togethers?

I know how to play MK, I've beaten a bunch of good players in MK dittos and have had a lot of success with him at tournaments. It's a known fact that Snake has a good match-up with MK. I'm elaborating on why I think banning Luigi's Mansion is a good idea. Either way, your post was incredibly...

Wow, if Snake is living to 200 percent against you on normal stages, I think it's more than his D.I. The level is big but Snake can completely dominate a single floor of the mansion no questions asked. Shield grabbing is not an approach in Brawl - none of your post makes any sense.

Killing everyone with MK is easy. It's all about the gimp. Only on a select few match-ups should you save D-smash (Snake, D3.) F-smash isn't that good, and Shuttle Loop will always be your best kill options. It's so ****ed mind game intensive.

So, assuming you're in a tournament with advanced slob picks, this is pretty much the best option (in my opinion.) Assuming you're determined to play MK the entire set (like I am,) you should ban this stage for fear of playing any heavy character, particularly snake, on it. Example...

how exactly does it allow for lagless aerials? The aerial would have to be FINISHED for you to even do this. You can take the minuta of a second it takes to land, and you'll get a TON of things in return. 1. you'll have your first jump (aka, more mobility.) 2. You aren't restricted to do...

In Melee, counterpick stages were not so ridiculously drastic that it would make 5:5 matchups 7:3 or worse. I don't have any data to support my opinion, but I'll say Corneria (which has been known to be legal) is ridiculous for DeDeDe and G/W (who has a wall infinite, against metaknight.)...
