Character Bans

[Flutter NiTE]

*puts up flame shield*

I'm sure i'm not the only one who thought of this,

>>Start of set.

>Rock Paper Scissors determine first ban.
}> or highest / lowest controller port

>First match over
}> Loser decides to keep ban for opponent, or change it to a different character.
}}> Winner decides to keep ban for opponent, or change it to a different character.

>Second match over
}> Loser decides to keep ban for opponent, or change it to a different character.
}}> Winner decides to keep ban for opponent, or change it to a different



If this has been brought up before, please explain why this WOULDN'T work,

The only reason I could think of is if you don't know who your opponent mains. So if you ban MK thinking they main him, then they turn around and pull a Diddy on you, boom.

 

[John12346]

Because there are a lot of players who main solely one character.

I'm all for finding ways to make MK non-selectable in official tournament play, but this is definitely not a good one.

I made this thread late last year and it was locked and I got infracted.

I loled

10char

My question is, why do we need to ban characters?
inb4 MK, if you want to ban him there's no reason to make a large complicated rule subset because of that. Just ban MK and be done lol.

 

[Supermodel From Paris]

My question is, why did you type 10char when your post is more than 10 chars

But more importantly, ban MK.

 

[-Ran]

Don't beat around the bush. The simplest solution is the easiest to enforce.

 

[Segastorm]

The simplest solution would be rock paper scissors and winner puts a ban on a character.

There's only one way to make MK non-selectable, and it's spectacularly easy.

 

[Hippieslayer]

TLDR

but ban sonic!

 

[Segastorm]

What's so bad about Sonic? Sure he has his advantages and disadvantages, but there's no real reason to ban him.

 

[Metakill]

why the ppl try to find the way to ban mk?...
accept the game like it was made...
or... main mk

 

[z00ted]

or just ban that mother ****er on the spot right here, right now

MK is a good candidate for being banned because he's flexible enough as to have an advantage against virtually every other character.

I like the way this guy thinks.

let's do this

 

[z00ted]

why do people adhere to the BBR?

Remember, they are only "recommending" rules for us.

If popular vote says "Ban Metaknight" and dominant tournament organizers in North America are willing to do so - BAN THAT *****.

WE DON'T GIVE A **** ABOUT YO' GOD DAMN STICKY BBR-RC!

EAT A ****

 

[ChKn]

^^Many dominant TOs are in the BBRC lolol.

Aren't MK-ban discussions supposed to be taboo? Oh well.

 

[Tesh]

Unity will likely evolve to limit him enough to be perceived as okay.

 

[-Ran]

The main issue wasn't that the BBR voted, but that even if they did say MK was banned, it wasn't enforceable. At the time, TO's wouldn't even follow the recommended rule set for stages. There shear level of variation by Tournament Organizers was insane back then, making a ban logistically improbable. Now the infrastructure for a ban is there, since you have the Unity Rule Set, where the major TOs are all bound by a pact with each other to follow it.

 

[z00ted]

why are they bound by a pact

split up, it's time for civil war

Xyro Leading the South - (Ban MK)

??? Leading the North - (Pro-MK)

 

[Tesh]

There is a purple ran and a purple san viewing this thread.

And MK should be banned.

 

[-Ran]

Because, they realized that when they work together, they can do more the community with a unified voice and purpose. You have discipline standards now from the Card system, due to the ability of the group forging accountability. You cannot have that when you are just a lone man on an island.

 

[Jonas]

Doesn't help that there was a bunch of MK mains in BBR

Unity will likely evolve to limit him enough to be perceived as okay.

Yes, please give us more "you can't do this" and "you can't do that." 500 gameplay rules later you might get MK mains annoyed to the point where they don't bother anymore and just pick a different character.

 

[Steam]

Xyro Leading the South - (Ban MK)

??? Leading the North - (Pro-MK)

or things could be easy and they could both be pro ban

 

[-Ran]

Actually, there are less MK mains in the Back Room than ever before.

 

[Jonas]

Yes, there are less MK mains in the BBR now than there was back when the popular vote was rejected because there was not enough support for a ban in the BBR.

 

[z00ted]

Actually, there are less MK mains in the Back Room than ever before.

ok, it's re-vote time

 

[-Ran]

By my count, there are twenty people in the Back Room that use MK in some capacity.

 

[o-Serin-o]

Trying to get rid of MK again? :D

Oh, joyous day.

 

[Tesh]

BBR doesn't really matter for this anymore. BBRRC is what you should be wondering about.

 

[Orion*]

My question is, why did you type 10char when your post is more than 10 chars

But more importantly, ban MK.

i initially only wrote

"I loled

10char"

then was like mmmm let me add something and forgot to delete

 

[Steam]

double ban him

 

[Metakill]

ok ok.. we can ban a character before a match...

*
P1: I ban MK
P2: Ok, i'll use Snake
*

ban mk... snake will be the new metaknight... just wait for Ally

 

[-Ran]

Because Snake has nothing but even or better match ups.

 

[Deleted member]

Just because someone in the BBR mains MK, that doesn't mean they don't want him banned.

Overswarm is a good example.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

*looks at MK's money earned in John Number's topic*

Yep, time to ban the bat already. No excuses, just do it already.

 

[-Ran]

More so, just because they don't main MK, doesn't mean they want him banned.

 

[Steam]

I've won too many sets because I just CP someone to rainbows cruise and **** them with MK because they don't use MK... It's disgusting

 

[~ Gheb ~]

MK shouldn't be banned.

 

[BSP]

After looking at John#'s data, there's no doubt in my mind that MK is overcentralizing.

Face it. He's not far off from having 50% of all tournament money and almost takes 50% of money each week, even with splits. That's a problem.

I don't think he's broken because people take games off of top MKs all the time, but you can't say he's not becoming the center of the game.
