    Official Metaknight Discussion

    You've demonstrated that there's a reason that people play MK, certainly, but I don't think you've proven that the reason is that he's better. This shows that people perceive him as a better character, and thus they choose him, but that's not proof that he's actually better.

    An examination of Crow!'s analysis would still be useful. Alternatively, you've said you were working on something similar. Was that anywhere near completion? Cyclops had a head injury which limited his control of his power, and Rogue simply steals the power and not the head injury. I...

    Official Metaknight Discussion

    Your question was whether he could beat his 10 year old cousin, not some 2 year old. Do you know for certain that his 10 year old cousin is worse at video games than him? @Kaffei, I respect you for working through all that, I wouldn't have had the patience or the inclination :D

    Should Metaknight be Banned? ***Take 3***

    I don't disagree with this idea, but do you have a source? I can't find any discussions or publications on the usage of friend. It might provide me with some insight into what's wrong with your argument, or perhaps what's wrong with my train of thought. Fair enough. It simply provides little...

    Should Metaknight be Banned? ***Take 3***

    Exactly. It's in the dictionary, but that doesn't mean it's current. Have you never heard the phrase "They may be with me, but they aren't my friends," used as a common response to that definition of friend? The "friendly" definition of friend trumps "associate" when you refer to a group of...

    Should Metaknight be Banned? ***Take 3***

    I'm not sure you're using that definition of the word correctly. I could refer to a group of people by saying, "Friends, blah blah blah," but that wouldn't mean that they're my friends. They're just "friends" for the purpose of my address. Besides, if you check wiktionary, that definition's...

    Should Metaknight be Banned? ***Take 3***

    I was merely pointing out your lack of search-fu. If I was addressing your point, I'd have made sure to quote you to give some context :) I didn't find any responses to that post in the main thread. It does give a better reference to the other arguments going on at the time it was posted, though.

    My search-fu owns thrilla's weak search-fu. http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?p=5504966#post5504966 If he'd have checked the thread for context, he'd have noticed that it was locked and discovered the subsequent posting in the MK ban take 1 thread.

    Empirical Matchups

    Save them as images, then upload the images. It's not a spreadsheet, it's just a photograph of a spreadsheet :D

    Proving Whether or Not MK is bannable with Data: A community to do list

    Could you clarify your definition? You've explained a couple things that matchup ratios do not do, but you haven't specifically said how they're applied. To summarize: Matchup ratios aren't an exact win chance. Matchup ratios are reset for each match. (Do you mean every round? Every...

    Yeah, blinding wall of yellow text ftw :urg:

    Should Metaknight be Banned? ***Take 3***

    So what you're saying is, your definition of a "level enough" playing field is when nothing breaks the game or causes overcentralization. You still haven't disagreed with or contradicted anything I've said.
