No Rage Old edge mechanics (chars will need to be adjusted recovery wise) add Snake, Ice Climbers and Wolf make a turn off hazards button for stages Add YI Brawl if the 1st two are impossible then do the bottom 3

Dreamland's a real good stage. In terms of Snake it's prob worth a ban when available in a set. Either way, let's think about the newer thing that's been moving around, i.e Ice Climbers, how are people thinking about them after Balcony?

Also a Pika main- the largest issue is killing. There are no kill confirms that he really owns besides gimps, hard reads or Up/Down Throw to Thunder. Compared to all of the other things that most of the top tiers have in terms of killing potential, he has the worst options. Usmash - need a read...

No joke I wish this stagelist was real, looks pretty awesome

Brawl started me in competitive smash and it's still a fun game, and I love it. At the same time though, if the only way to "save" it is to ruin the game for the people who either put 6-8 years into MK/IC's, or thought they were the only characters that were fun. **** that let the game stay...

The problem is that with this mindset, the benefit behind a counterpick doesn't exist. While we have those 7 stages everyone accepts (and let's be honest, your opinion on Lylat seems a bit like you've been burned too much by Brawl ledges, hell the brawl version of this stage was better, it...

At some level, the largest problem with PS2 being legal isn't even the wind transformation, but the electric transformation (it's legitimately worse than the wind in terms of disrupting gameplay). At the same time, if we're throwing out ideas for stagelists, I do have a few ideas, though it's...

I read that discussion and I'm aware. I'm 100% on the side of the people saying this shouldn't be anything but a side tourney/friendlies setup at best at tournaments. I'm saying even when people screw up it's a mixup/game changing issue. I was just pointing out a different way of thinking other...

We should leave auto-L canceling off. I'd still give it a try but it would throw people off especially if there are certain characters or mechanics where L canceling doesn't matter or they are used to the timing betewen getting it right or not. 90% of the time L-Canceling a move is the optimal...

First part, I agree, in terms of why Duck Hunt is a legal stage but I feel like your characterization of Delfino actually shows why it's a decent counterpick stage. Unlike other stages that have things that make them controversial I think the variety in stage layouts is kind of a good thing-...

Or better yet all 4 + Umbra with an extra ban.

Also, Cloud's stage would be awesome but it has the problem that PS2 and Kalos League have, which is the whole some stage hazards are ok but some are incredibly dumb for comp play. But unless something with the angels is actually problematic we should have that Bayonetta stage fully legal, if...

But to answer your question, whichever group brings back more players. And seeing as how the game's rep isn't too great and we need the older players to come back I'd say we need the pro group more because of how many players especially at the top/mid level played MK or IC's. I don't know about...

Now that sopo actually has a not awful recovery he's a lot better. He definitely feels weaker than in Melee, but he has enough tools that he isn't the worst in the game.

Either way, the ruleset doesn't matter but I do think it's a concern that "entertainment" value is being considered as a reasonable justification for banning characters. I don't think banning MK and IC's will do anything but absolutely ensure that Brawl sinks into the depths of never being a...
