Frame Savant
It had to be done. Class destroyed me today, so I'm just gonna reserve this thread with the awesome title.
So much has been said about MK's "frame safe", "frame perfect", frame sexiness. Most people are terribly uninformed, especially salty Rob and Marth mains. That said MK has stalling capabilities which are incompatible with a game that is playable competitively, let alone fun to watch.
"reserved for frame data redux"
"reserved for MK specific Planking data"
No argument based on variety or "fairness" belongs here. Frame data analysis or GTFO! I don't care how much MK is winning, who is winning with him, whether character x would be viable without him, etc. Don't mention temp-ban or soft-bans. This is about rules to limit him, and barring the ability to do so, whether he warrants removal based on his "on paper" capabilities. No sloppy theorycrafting... no mystery data... no anecdotal evidence. Discussion of his capability on any MLG legal stage is a valid point and stage bans are a way to limit MK which we should be willing to discuss.
As an equally important function, this thread can and should explore weaknesses in MK's game and how specific characters can exploit these (ex his air release vulnerability).
