You forgot Cactuar.lol come on...A thread where gotm pakman and scar post and you ask me? I suck balls at melee I just love playing the game more than the other smashes.
I mean if you want to get better just play as many people as you can and rather then trying to win, try to figure out your mistakes and where you can improve.You right You right. Can a Gotm, Pakman,Scar train me in Melee. XD
Oh I know you didn't, I appreciate your input in the thread. For that paragraph I addressed everyone in general, because plenty of people have said that's the case.Also, I am aware that you did not ban MK for personal reasons. You'll note that I deliberately avoided mentioning Xzax in my post regarding this topic.
I personally agree with everything you say here, and I think that if we discussed these issues like a shared community beforehand, then the amount of needless arguing that took place would not have happened.First off, I do not wish to be titled as the "leader" of PA. It is obvious that some people rise to the situation that take the responsibility for their state, but I do not wish to have this title per se. It's obvious that I far more than anyone else for the state, but that's just the kind of person I am. I take things upon myself and act as the role of a leader in most things I do in life, whether it be school projects, other video games, plan organization, etc.
Regardless if I act as the leader or not, I don't wish to be called that. This is a shared community, I don't like being given a title that puts me on a pedestal higher than others. Who cares if I'm the main TO, I just happen to have access to venues. Others in PA have or are trying to host events like Xzax and .com and I appreciate it. As for other things, there are other panelists, there are other people just about as active tourney wise, and there are even better players than me. So am I leader of PA per se, but it's not a title I'm locking myself into, like to display, or whatever, you know what I mean.
While these areas have banned Metaknight and you want to use them as precedents, you have to make sure that our community has the same set of problems with Metaknight that the others have. As you surely know, Philly does not have a MK problem, so unless you have other legitimate reasons why MK should be banned in this particular area, people are going to have issues with a ban. I know you have addressed this, but I think it needed to be said.As acting in a leadership position, leaders impose what they feel is right for the community they are in charge of. I am personally pro-ban on the MK issue. Everyone knows this, and plenty of other people are pro-ban as well. Eastern Canada is now MK banned. Texas is MK banned. There are more smaller areas as well and other tournies trying out the ruleset.
I just have to simply disagree with you here. IC infinites don't have the same kind of attention as MK does, so I'm not sure which other communities have placed these kind of limits before. The thing that matters most, though, is that there is nothing on the standard ruleset that deals with specific IC chaingrabs, so that will be the likely case in regional/national/other local tournaments. I believe that placing these limits where there haven't been limits before is just restricting the IC players with no benefits to anyone fighting the Ice Climbers- the IC players more because they have to learn signifcantly harder throws just to do what they can easily do in standard tournaments, and everyone else is unaffected because they aren't going to waste their time perfecting their meteor cancels/wall techs just to have a marginally better chance of surviving one matchup in which this chance isn't even going to happen in standard tournaments where there are no restrictions on IC grabs- they're going to work on not getting grabbed in the first place, since that's the part of the matchup that is critical to whether the player beats the IC's or not.The same applies for IC infinites. I have been against them for over a year now back when I tried to ban it at the original SatS. I'm actually pretty lax with banning that, all I'm banning for them are the "true" infinites that remove 100% chance of an opponent escaping, etc. A lot of things are still allowed. ICs can still kill out of a grab. IC's can still fthrow CG to rack up damage and get to the end of a stage and fair meteor for a likely kill. ICs can still hobble in one direction to rack up damage even better than the fthrow CG. ICs can dair to ice block CG, which depending on the opponents tech can even reverse the CG to the other direction for the ICs to move all the way back across the stage to rack up a ton more damage, probably enough to kill them at that point. All of these options are still extremely deadly, especially for a single grab. The grab game just changes slightly with the imposition on bthrow infinites, and in every situation gives the opponent a slight chance at survival solely based on their skill involving tech skill and knowledge in the matchup. Actually, I'm not going to disclose this publically with exactly what it is, there are still a couple true infinites (at least two) that I know the ICs are capable of doing that would be considered legal under these rules, but both involve much more tech skill than the simple pass back and forth one, which I feel is more appropriate.
People are overreacting because you're giving them the impression that you're doing this for personal reasons without any regard for the community (I don't know how the other anti-banners will react from your post, but this was my first impression when you put up the ban). Since many of the local players don't use Metaknight, all that this ban effectively does is drive out many of the top out-of-state players who do use Metaknight; I mean, why bother paying to travel out-of-state to go to a tournament where you can't use your main when there are plenty of tournaments closer to you that let you do what you want? If you can tell me how Philadelphia clearly benefits from a MK ban, I'd love to hear it, because I cannot think of any at all.Overall, people are simply overreacting. It's not the end of the world that I'm holding an MK banned tourney. People are acting like I'm making it so every event everywhere in the US is now MK banned. Is MK banned at all biweeklies at the moment? I can't say, the other subsequent biweeklies aren't officially announced yet, only the first one. Is it likely? Probably. Can MK be unbanned at them? Of course. Will attendance drop from this? I personally do not think so at all. Does it effect the Philly community by weakening us? I've proved over and over that it doesn't.
MK-banned tournament results don't mean anything if there isn't a difference between results from a MK-banned tourney and results from a MK-unbanned tournament. If we consider the top players who regularly attend these tournaments and wouldn't mind a MK-ban too greatly (so I'm discounting M2K here since he has said that he won't attend a MK-banned tournament), the only thing that's going to change is that the few MK users in this area (meaning Xzax and... Xzax) would dtop in the standings and some other person would take his/their place(s). We already have enough variety in Philly as it is, having rep for ROB, Marth, Falco, Snake, Diddy Kong, Bowser, DK, IC's, Olimar, Pikachu, Pit, hell even Ganondorf if I'm allowed to place myself in this list. Having MK banned won't change the variety by any significant amount, if any at all, and that's the purpose of gathering these results in the first place- finding out how tournament variety would change with MK out of the picture.And Pierce, I know players can play however they wish if both players agree to different rules (like banned stages, etc), but I ask that you do not allow other players to play MK even if you don't mind (I also feel the same way about picking stages but there's nothing you can really do about it). I understand where you're coming from and appreciate the thought, but it skews results overall. People have wanted proof of results from MK banned events and like to see them comparing them to other tournaments, but this changes things.
Sometimes the mantle of leadership isn't taken up by choice. Sometimes people just give it to you through their actions. That's what happened. Deal with it, and use the power that was given to you wisely.First off, I do not wish to be titled as the "leader" of PA.

Wise words indeed Sadaharu InuiSometimes the mantle of leadership isn't taken up by choice. Sometimes people just give it to you through their actions. That's what happened. Deal with it, and use the power that was given to you wisely, and most importantly, don't flaunt it like an a$$hole.
Hah! I will always flaunt anything I can. I am arrogant.Wise words indeed Sadaharu Inui![]()
Rogue is leaving? Whatdya mean?No guys Im hyped to use Wolf, I was going to use Falco as my secondary but since Rogue is leaving I will be using Pit aswell.
I'm pretty sure we're all over it. Go to a fox banned tournament and see how it feels btw, I think fox is just as bannable as Metaknight "puts up flame shield"yeah honestly you guys sound like a bunch of 12 year olds arguing this null point. it's not going anywhere so leave it alone, start playing characters other than mk for the tourney and get over it, and if you're that mad then don't come.
jesus christ.
It doesn't have to, you may not complain about it, but I bet most fox mains would. In the pound 4 thread, alot of peach and jiggs mains were *****ing about Mute City being banned, don't act like the Melee community is above complaining please.i wouldnt go to a tournament if fox was banned most likely. and i wouldnt complain about it one bit either. your argument makes no sense.
p.s. i probably still would go to that tournament, even if pichu was the only playable char cuz melee is that much better
This is an opinion, although I do think Pichu ditto's are epic.p.s. i probably still would go to that tournament, even if pichu was the only playable char cuz melee is that much better
It's cool dude.Keitaro, I think you're Falco's solid, on the record. I probably overdid the "Keitaro's not even that good" gag, because I know you're a talented player, and I just jumped on it everytime someone arbitrarily brought up your name. It was annoying to get compared to you whether or not I think my Falco is better or not, so I started this whole thing, but that's not fair to you, because you're right, you never bring that up yourself. I apologize, and I'll avoid comparing our Falco's again, though I will still bash you for your foolish kill habits.
I'd also like to say though that a lot of people said "You shouldn't bring stuff like that up." If you notice, I didn't bring a lot of those issues up. Chibo brought up Keitaro's after I mentioned my Falco. It's this that annoys me. Think of it this way . . . I imagine you think your Falco is better than Bleachigo's. Now if someone said to you, "Well, Keitaro, I'm not afraid of your Falco, because I ALMOST beat Bleachigo's Falco" I don't really think you would find that logic reasonable in your head. Basically, what I'm trying to get at is, I don't bash your Falco because I think you're bad. You're a more technical player than I am, and probably have a better mastery over your character (I can't even phantasm cancel consistantly). But everytime I bring up the fact that I play a mean Falco to cover that bad MU (R.O.B., Dk, etc) someone is like, "Well, dat aint no KEITARO." So it just pisses me off. I got nothing against you personally, in fact I like ya, and I'll lay off. Once again, my apologies.
I love being retardly meatriden :D"Well, dat aint no KEITARO."
