Counterpicking is pointless because everyone knows how to play MK now. Back in the day, you got to change the stage or the character, but nowadays, you get to change both. Unless the person you're fighting sucks at Metaknight, any benefits you get from changing the stage are moot. This is probably why 95% of all competitive smashers don't counterpick at all and instead just go to neutral stages. Because even if they chose a counterpick, the opponent would just switch his character anyway. Unless you knew your opponent well enough to know that they would stay the same character of course.

Even if everyone knows how to play MK you still aren't gonna just magically get the win lmao.

I've beaten good MK players on RC with Marth and other unfavorable counterpicks
the only way to magically win is with diddy. right? automatic techs, item catch, combos and more

That was exactly the logic behind my CP, lol. Too bad it backfired.

Another dumb thing I just remembered: Both times I've faced Craig in tourney, I counterpicked his MK to Brinstar. What the **** is wrong with me? :awesome:

I guess it's just my personal attachment to the stage. Even though it's a good stage for DK, I'd be better off elsewhere against MK.

I was referring to if you were the counterpicker, not the counterpickee Kadaj. So if you wanted to counterpick someone's main with a different stage that is unfavorable towards their current main, but good for metaknight, they will more than likely switch. So if you're not careful, you could end up counterpicking yourself. Most people won't stay the same character on unfavorable stages unless they just don't care or don't know about the stage advantages/disadvantages. Being able to win on unfavorable stages is a different matter entirely.

So much hate in here, I still believe in CPing myself and taking myself to Frigate, but I think I might start using Brinstar, just cause I think Fox could do some interesting things on there.

I laugh when people ban FD or Halberd cause I don't really like going there that much.

I can't really name search :( Cause CT is Connecticut

EDIT: I just beat a pika with Fox after SDing once (Won the whole set)
