Smash Lord
Fair enough, although Iono why its so hard to read in the first place.
Competitive Sports because the actual players should be seen as the characters rather than the ones playing the game. You see these owners are the ones spending money, picking up players, training them, and pitting them against other teams. You arent going to ask Michael Jordan about the rules and things about balancing the teams because its not his money ( although he owns a team now lol) it would be absurd for him to make the salary cap for teams. Again as Strong Bad said, you also have a huge committee that is not only unbiased but have been with the game for decades. Its a game whose core mechanics have stayed these ways for generations, the only way these changes are going to be made is through proper data analysis ( things like moving the 3 point line etc) .
In a competitive fighter we have just two entities really, the players and the TOs ( whom are also players for the most part). In essence, we are governing ourselves lol. In that kind of scenario you should also have top players who see the metagame as it is, so they can be asked about core concept rather than just a simple poll. When you have groups like these you need to have representatives from all areas so a concise decision can be made. Thats why I talked about other competitive fighters because they are far closer in similarities than any sport for obvious reasons. Theres no need to reach other there. Thats a whole different ball game ( stupid pun i know).
Look at Capcom, they ask players for their advice, ask them to play test and ask them what they feel needs to be attended to. They dont dictate what Capcom does in its entirety, but they do give Capcom a viewpoint they cant really see ie top level play. That perspective is HUGE when you are trying to create a competitive fighter.
Our rule set molds this game into a fighter, its what makes smash step out from lol party game to something somewhat worthy of competition. As such we should listen to top players opinions on some things because that can help make the decision that can mold this game into a better fighter. I mean even in your own posts you have recited how you think URC members are good players and know a lot about the game. Why would you? But you naturally understand that is needed to make a decision on something. We do it in all walks of life, ask experts ( granted thats dangerous nowadays because people dont seek truly validated information and such can be manipulated by 'experts') doesnt mean they control our lives. Just like Ally doesnt control their tournaments. But he might see something they dont. Why WOULDNT you ask him?
@Thiocyanide: On point again. Look SFP: I could definitely see why some people could be iffy about MK. Im not going to sit here and claim hes not the best character in the game. However that was hardly the argument for him being banned.
