    The ban talk coul be productive if there was an aim and not something more that a rant to a disliked character. Example when is a ban guarranted? What is the empirical data that we should use to ban a character, when its too much usage/win ratio. And because this is a standard for a ban all...

    Thats the thing, we as a community should have learning that harrasing players for their character choice was bad when bayo players were being made fun of, but we are doing the same in another game and even some top players are joining.

    Smash has been always like this, even the melee community drops their "adapt and learn the matchup metality" when hungrybox is on the screen. We are doomers, we love to talk about how some problems will kill the game because otherwise the conversation is boring. And 90% of the top players live...

    Nah plant is fine maybe a bit underpowered, but he/she performs as a tanky trap character specially as a tanky ledge tramp character very well. Just look at how Brood plays the character, he is solid. Give side b more duration and size and faster start up and he becomes high tier.

    Bad character design is something like old zelda/sheik or pokemon trainer, you would switch depending on the strenght of the character, but zelda didnt complement Sheik and pokemon trainer stamina mechanic and type weakness punished 2/3 of the character too much to make switching viable. aegis...

    To be honest i wonder what will happend if akakikusu comes to the US, and i want yoshidora to come too because people didnt put respect on his ranking.

    Hold off your horses up people, remember what makes a top player in this game top player is being consistent during long periods of time, acola has strong results but like sparg0, tweek kola, marss, dabuz, light, glutonny, cosmos, zackray, and protobaham, the more tournaments you enter, the...

    Pikachu isnt really a combo character, he is more like a Jack of all trades like mario in the sense he can get a 0 to dead on certain characters or circumstances, but he falls shorts on killing with raw moves on neutral like other top tiers. Combined with the averange range, averange mobility...

    the true reason people compare the aegis to bayo is to have a definitive toptier we all can blame for our losses and hate to our heart content. People have the memory of a goldfish the aegis doesnt play like smash 4 bayo nor like smash 4 cloud aside from the recovery, considering smash 4 cloud...

    What? Not even metaknight killed brawl, what will end "killing" this game is the next smash and that is still a "if the next smash is considered better that ultimate". What is worse for the game is the doomer actittude that 2 "boring" top tier characters are going to kill the game when they...

    Always has been, most smash people want to live in the magical land of technnical rushdown characters, zoners or defensive characters should no even exist to some of them. To be honest i think the devteam are grateful to be free from the balance of this game, imagine playing +80 MUs for 3 or 4...

    People need to get perspective, when people say X character is more fun to them, they dont mean that their old character was boring, simply that they have more fun and think they can get sucess with X. Not only that most of those players dropping joker doesnt actually main the character but use...

    To be honest i think the players that pilot sephiroth aren good enough to make the character justice, i think this because when i watch nairo play him it looks like a completely different character.

    Its pretty funny how zackray said that joker loses -1 against minmin, but now that mkleo wins against dabuz minmin overrides that. it think that mkleo learned the basics of them minmin matchup with joker, adapted to dabuz playstyle conditioned him to no use minmin bigger strengths like grab...

    We will see if mythra/pyra can past the test of half the roster developing counterplay to your character and if before the last character is out you still see midlevel players picking the aegies, then you can make a case for them being broken.
