an unbalanced game with a bunch of *******s screaming at you because you suck just as much as they do...

The Alabama tournament leadership has voted 10-2 to ban MK at all ASL tournaments. On behalf of the ASL, please don't start a huge MK ban discussion or flame war as a result of this announcement.

Also I got 3rd at the PAX tourney this year. Choked big time. But Jesus, am I bad at this game right now.
Would have liked to see someone who didn't suck play against those posers.

Munkus take me places with you. I wanna stomp on scrubs too.
Too be honest, the UAH smash scene disappointed me from what I saw today. Looked more like people wanted to play starcraft with a side of Brawl

While I certainly don't mind the ban, I want people to plays lots of serious friendlies with me so I can get MK experience for OoS tournaments.

i just watched the first episode of Chobits. wtf is this ****
its just dumb.
the highest mk on our pr is number 3 and we're banning him lol
and yeah i dont agree with this spur of the moment type deal.
also i dun lyke ic's cuz dey r dum can we start up a tally to ban them?
1 point here.
this just makes me feel like some scrubby state like TN i dont like that our tournaments are headed in this direction it says something about our attitude,legitness, and community that i strongly disagree with..

Well, I'm not going to get into the reasons for the ban here. If anyone wants to know why, they can PM me.
EDIT: Most people have not paid yet as it is, and our first tournament is still almost 2 months away. If someone really wants their money back after this announcement, they can come talk to me.

Realistically, pretty much every state wants to do something about Meta Knight, and it's not like we're the first people to suggest or enforce such a ban in the Brawl community. People don't ban him because they don't want to be among the first people to potentially divide the community, but the people who are against it tend to be those who aren't at high-level play (and therefore can't understand everything that the character is capable of) or don't have the community's best interest at heart (MK players who like easy money and enjoy ignoring the counterpick system; people who believe that it's fine if an overwhelming majority of the game revolved around Meta Knight; people who don't care that the game would be ten times more balanced and varied without Meta Knight).
With the ASL, we're trying to do something different in the way that tournaments happen in many ways; best-case scenario, the ideas pick up elsewhere because they succeed here. This is just another thing that we're doing to try and change the way the community does things, to make it more professional so that people in general know that we know what we're doing, and take us seriously as a result. (No, I'm not talking about SRK elitists; I'm talking about laypersons who we ask to look for a venue and interested beginners looking for a chance to play/learn the game.)

I think the very fact that the brawl community is so scrubby is WHY metaknight probably needs to be banned in order for this tournament community to thrive.
It'll make the game more competitive, but that's a natural result of taking something overpowered out of a game. taking sagat out of sf4 vanilla would have made that game more competitive too.
taking something out of a game because it's overpowered is sort of a scrub thing to do though. [insert sirlin article]
if rock paper scissors had an extra move called blowtorch that beat paper and scissors but not rock, technically that's overpowered. but i don't think any competitive community would ban it, even tho doing so would clearly make the game more competitive.
all in all though, there's way too much dumb stuff in this game to justify being mad about removing one more dumb thing from the game. removing metaknight is the same as removing items. i think items break the game more than MK does, but its a similar idea.

Sometimes, a ban is warranted; when a game is significantly more balanced, varied, and the like, and it's clear that a great deal of time has been spent trying to work around a character/tactic/whatever with little or no success, it's time to go.
SF4 Sagat didn't have outright broken, impossible-to-realistically-counter tactics, either.
As an aside, I'm fairly sure that Sirlin has said that he believes that Meta Knight should be banned based on his own criteria.
Also, for fun--

Whoa, WHOA, Akamaru was banned? As in Kiba's dog???
Lol, are you sure Robo Ky was banned in GGxx? He was my main.
The thing about almost all bans in fighting games is that the banned characters are either boss characters and are inherently broken because... well, they are bosses, or because they are console specific and that's janky, but really, has there ever been a good console-specific character in a fighting game other than Link?

Akamaru was banned because he was basically impossible to hit if a person played correctly. Using Kiba (and consequently, Akamaru as a character-based assist, like how Kankuro uses a puppet) was fine.
Not sure about Robo-Ky, though.
