Personally guys, I think since they are his tournaments he has the right to say 'hey this is what goes' and ' this is what not.'

I'm not a fan of banning things or removing things from gameplay, but that's the only reason why it should be banned, though most people are ignorant of the fact.And what i mean by that is this: i have seen time and time again(and most of you have to, although u wont admit it) that there have been matches in melee and brawl where player 1 is clearly better than player 2 (based of of previous tourney placings/MMs) but yet player 2 pulls off a wobble or ICG due to a single grab and take a match from player 1. Tell me is this "fair"?
You can break out of their grab before Nana has recovered from the lag of missing her dash grab at about 80% and lower if you are smart enough to see it coming. Seeing as the Ice climbers can KO several characters with a simple charged upsmash at that percent, their chaingrab isn't that difficult to overcome. It might be infinite once you get stuck in it but several things happen before that scenario comes.*waits for more retorts*
Really? I've always found the lack of stun in Brawl to make it very easier to grab. Thats just me though.It's harder to grab than in Melee
Obviously the hoster finds it to be broken. If you've read his posts, which I highly doubt, considering what your post entails, he says when one grab is the determining factor (which if you're good at the ICG, it is) it isn't fair.Why ban something that isn't broken?
Ice climbers are only viable with chaingrabs? News to me.Why ban the sole reason a character is even viable in the first place?
IC's grab range and shield grabs are horrid, any person slightly close to competent will hardly ever be grabbed in these ways. It's simple enough to avoid their grab range with virtually any character, and characters like Marth, Snake and MK utterly put ICs to shame because of their disjointed hitboxes, ability to seperate effectively, etc.Really? I've always found the lack of stun in Brawl to make it very easier to grab. Thats just me though.

We are not all bad, you know. Some of us are actually respectful and such.07-08 members never stop amazing me.
I joined smashboards later than you. Therefore, yours is bigger, mirite?07-08 members never stop amazing me.
Of course a sheik user would want Ice Climbers banned >.> they're her biggest counter in melee.like ive been saying since melee, ban IC's period.
theres no reason to even have this argument
Hey buddy, I joined here in 05-06, Look up Miller07-08 members never stop amazing me.
Grabbing once under any circumstance while Nana is alive for the most part at certain percents resulting in a stock no matter what if the Ice Climber player doesn't suck isn't broken? If thats not broken what is? lol.Simple questions:
Why ban something that isn't broken?
Why ban the sole reason a character is even viable in the first place?
In case you haven't noticed, the ICs are not good without the CGs, and it's hardly possible to land a grab on a good Brawl player in the first place. It's harder to grab than in Melee. The CGs they have now are infinitely harder than Wobbling.
And I don't want any of your join date discrimination bull****, because I've been around the site for quite some time under the name Wiselugia.
Because it was originally a flat out ban of IC CGs. What pisses of most people as well, is how he picks and chooses which CGs he wants to ban.Grabbing once under any circumstance while Nana is alive for the most part at certain percents resulting in a stock no matter what if the Ice Climber player doesn't suck isn't broken? If thats not broken what is? lol.
If you read his tournament thread he states "Icy's can grab up to 3 times" that is still an easy 40-60% due to how easy it is to grab combo with Ice Climbers. He did that so people would not abuse infinite grabs because it truly does ruin matches.
IDK where all these people are coming in here getting mad, he banned grabs being repeated more than three times which is understandable, he never said "I BAN ICYS" If you guys truly think this is devastating then its obvious the only reason you use and by any chance win using Icy's is because you are using a broken technique. He didn't ban a character he banned a technique that is broken. Just like how wall bombing was banned in Melee due to stalling, the funny thing is when that was first banned a bunch of noobs like yourselves complained lol.
B/c people are ignorant?Trying to stop a train wreck before it happens..... well, you're only doing a good thing if the train was going to wreck in the first place. Otherwise, you're just a crazy jerk that is delaying everyone 's progress.
If you've got someone in your state that can chain grab with the Ice Climbers, you are LUCKY. Texas will be one of the first states to experience this BEFORE the summer starts. You can start your counter strategies, your counterpicks, etc., etc., all BEFORE the large summer tournaments. You have a heads up, because I'll just go ahead and tell you this:
Wobbling didn't win tournaments, and it was easier to do and not nearly as difficult to pull off.
This won't win tournaments, especially considering the top 4 characters in the game have no problem not getting grabbed or separating Nana from Popo. If it does win tournaments everywhere, after a while you'll see more than one guy using it and then tournaments degenerate into Ice Climber dittos. If this happens, go ahead and ban it. But right now you are going through what is called "growing pains"; this, like Dedede's chain grab, the infinite on ness/lucas, metaknight's tornado, Falco's chain grab, will be another strong tactic that isn't broken. Hell, I've just listed off 4 things that our community has panicked about at one point or another and they've already been dismissed by anyone good; what makes you think the ICs will be any different?
What is wrong with you people! How many times do I have to tell you?! Even with chaingrabs the Ice Climbers are not even close to being the best character in the game... they are stll mid-tier! Not even one Ice Climber player has won a major tournament since the game came out! By the way 3 CG's only do 18%. Thats only about a third of what Bowser's smash attacks do! It also kinda disappoints me that the Ice climbers in brawl are completely overrated and the only reason why I picked them up in melee was because they were underrated, nobody I knew used them, and most people thought that they were one of the worst characters in the game so I wanted to prove them wrong.Grabbing once under any circumstance while Nana is alive for the most part at certain percents resulting in a stock no matter what if the Ice Climber player doesn't suck isn't broken?

UndrDog, as an 04 member you have seen and exprienced LOTS AND LOTS of things like i have. So i would think that you will understand where im coming from even though you may not AGREE with it. All my reasoning is in this section below. Every thing i have typed is TRUE. Some say i shouldnt ban it so early while othe say i shouldnt ban it at all. I say, i dislike a move that at be escaped out of unless the IC mess up.I read this ENTIRE thread. Word for word of every post before even bringing this to the attention of the SBR. Then, after that I read all of your posts again. All you've stated was that people who joined after a certain year aren't worth listening to. This is not Melee and this is not Wobbling. This is a completely different aspect that aactually varies from opponent to opponent. Please I just ask that you give your reasons in this thread without the needless condescending as if you were talking to a bunch of n00bs. A real discussion with the actual Smash patrons would be nice.
We are only doing this for the sake of the Smash Community.
XYRO(tgm) says:
1. Lets talk melee for a sec. In melee wobbling/infinite chain grabbing(ICG) were never OFFICIALy banned. The back room took the easy way out(are were afraid of the backlash if they decided to ban it) and decided to let the tournament host create the rules. So in Brawl, I dont give a **** about backlash and i will take the stand of stoping the train wreck before it happens. And what i mean by that is this: i have seen time and time again(and most of you have to, although u wont admit it) that there have been matches in melee and brawl where player 1 is clearly better than player 2 (based of of previous tourney placings/MMs) but yet player 2 pulls off a wobble or ICG due to a single grab and take a match from player 1. Tell me is this "fair"?
2. Dont get grabed! Play smarter! Again, these are common counter attacks from people who most like-ly are 07-08 members (people who cant tell a apple from a rhinoceros). In brawl, shield stun has been reduced GREATLY or maybe even eliminated in some cases! This means that if the attack hits the IC shield, its a grab. Unless u space perfectly, and even then(since there isnt L canceling) u may still be grabed. WD and L-canceling are gone, those 2 things played a major roll in how people got out out of situations, now that its gone.....IC have an advantage here. If you even try to fight this, you have sheer poop for brains.
3. "Well if you ban/semi ban the ICG then u gotta ban XYZ that character XYZ can do." How about you STFU, stop smoking pot and realize that the MAIN REASON why i am banning this ICG. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ESCAPE IT UNLESS THE IC MESSES UP OR THEY ARE STUPID ENOUGH TO GET HIT BY THE LEVEL ENVIORNMENT. 2ndly, falco CG,dedede CG,marth CG on ness/lucas have all been PROVEN to be escape-able. If you want proof of this, go to ****ing youtube and look.
4. Arguments like "well a good meta/snake/marth/falco/ect would never lose to this ICG business". Do you know how easy it is to pull off a grab? Just one per stock is not hard. There isnt a pro or noob that does not get grabbed. Again, since the shield system is grab friendly, it makes it even more viable to grab. not to mention u can send out nana to grab well ahead of you. Also, think of it this way: YOU have to stop ALL grabs, THEY only need ONE.
5. Some might counter with "oh yea well what about tripping?!?! HA since there are 2 climbers that means there chances of tripping are double, so there IS a way around it". My retort is this: plz go drink iodine and die. Since tripping is EXTREMLY rare and the fact that you only need ONE grab per stock........who cares if u trip 3 times. All u needed was ONE GRAB. And please dont retort with "well practice on not getting grabbed", it doesnt work like that and ALL of you know it. THEY NEED ONE GRAB.
5a. Hylian, if you read this before u check out the houston thread, plz go read my post in the houston thread. Im willing to make a deal with you.
6. Some people claim that the ICG is EXTREMLY hard to do and its even harder cause its different per character. I FULLY AGREE!!!! Except when all u see is a max of 10 characters per tourney, its kinda easy to remember the timing for only 10 characters. I swear on anthing you want that if you sit down for 2-3 weeks and practice ICG it will become easier. So the arguement of "its super hard to do so it shouldnt be banned' is retared.
7. Just like our president(wether you like or dislike him) i am taking out the trash(ICG) BEFORE it starts to stink(cause problems or screw up tourney results). I am not claiming that the world will all pick up IC to win tournies. its not about winning tournies. Its about IC beating people who are clearly better than they are due to ICG.
8. When you people respond. I ASK that you PLZ take it from my point of view and at least ATTEMPT to consider how it feels for people who get 3 and 4 stocked from ICG hen in reality they may have been the better player.
9. I will run my tournaments how i see fit. if you cant handle that......plz commit suicide.
Again with the so called experience, you could be playing smash brothers since 04 but you may still be inferior to others, including people that started after and before you.UndrDog, as an 04 member you have seen and exprienced LOTS AND LOTS of things like i have. So i would think that you will understand where im coming from even though you may not AGREE with it. All my reasoning is in this section below. Every thing i have typed is TRUE.

This part isnt aimed at you UndrDog.
I declare that if any one responds to my posts in a way that shows they did not read the below section, i will respond to you with the same section you should have read.
