'get it growing down there'

What are you suggesting?

But seriously, it's been diminishing ever since mk became standard and timeouts became frequent. We lost pretty much all of out average players. That meant we lost of diversity and potential, also.

I personally feel that I'm too busy too organize anything, espc during uni. During holidays its quite possible, though.

Of the players that still play... I don't know how people feel about the game. it seems like no one cares anymore; no one watches grand finals, no one asks for tips, no one gets passionate.

It's actually really sad, because I still have plenty of fun.

After BAM I'm banning MK from singles as well at boosts (I don't think anyone wants to complain about doing so either).

I think its time Melbourne follows suit. Earl may get hurt, but I know he's been practising alternative characters for the longest time.

I was recently talking to people about banning MK and a couple of things came up:
1. I thought your best player was a "non-mk" main.
2. Aren't you the country that had that dedede rule?
3. You said yourself that no one wins with him, so why would you ban him?

I brought up that meta knight killed australia's largest scene down south from where I was. An Australian MK hasn't won a NSW tournament since Kulla - but besides that, most of our good players will bring out MK if they're cp'd to a "gay stage" > and I want to bring more stages back into the rule set, MK has to go if that's going to happen.

As much as a 'pro ban' advocate as I am, I don't want to ban mk unless America does too. I would like to be competitive if I ever get to play there.

Also don't feel sorry for mk mains; we've all spent the last three years learning the mk matchup, too.

I suppose I know too much.
Many others held this 'pro MK-ban' view in Brawl's early days. The BBR owned itself through a painfully naive and ideological mess and diminished the Brawl scene as a result.

Shame that people are pointing fingers as things like MK only when it is too late. I would have still been playing Woxy/Peach if the game's OP-ness was reduced.

Quoted for truth.

If mk was banned years ago, we'd have a much more varied and competitive scene right now.

Pity.

I dont want to sound like a complete ****, but I wouldn't feel sorry for any mk mains the slightest if mk were to get banned. It's sad they kept him in for this long. I hated losing because of mk, and I'm sure others want a fair go too.

I'll ban him in Melbourne if the unity ruleset bans mk.(prays)

Err no? Wait and see how it works out in the US first I reckon, before we make our move.
I trust shayas recommendation and chances are MK will probably be banned in the near future but its not just a 'kaydone' just like that.

Who cares about America, its not like they take us seriously anyway lol.

I just want the game to be more fun and flexible, not one sided and stupidly gay...

we've waited three years for the US to do anything. if you keep on waiting, by the time you come to a conclusion, there will be no more scene left here.

imo ofc

a bloc of NSW VIC and SA would pretty much force the ruleset on the rest of the country, methinks

Aww ricky and Scott keep abusing me because I said mk should be banned lol.

Anyone who uses mk has a huge cry over this issue because they can't have their brokenness.

Well anyway have fun at the tournament peoples

Earl will be pretty hard.

I will be negatively affected.

Most other people will be affected positively.

terrible reason, the brawl unity ruleset stagelist is bad enough

I'll be extremely infraction heavy for things which I consider 'spam' or 'trolling'. If you don't play nor care about Brawl, you don't need to post in here. This isn't a thread to discuss/argue the merits of his legality.

Sorry for not being a brawl player and thinking I lived in a free country where one could express his opinions regardless of my "qualifications."

Why was robstas post edited? It was a fair post and robsta plays just as much brawl as say, cao.
Robsta if you are actually trolling then gtfo but your last post that was deleted is exactly how I feel.

Jei, I understand your sentiments. However, the arguments been done to death and I would dislike having to close the thread / hand out bans / etc.

I will be banning MK at my tournaments, no one else has to.
