First, I already stated I don't care too much about 3 or 5 stages, I was just pointing out the fact that the most often used argument was false (and on a side note, I'd prefer PS1 over LC, if that can help).
About RC, I used to see it as an obvious CP stage (which is generally the case in the US) so I definitely find it surprising; saying I'm biased because I play MK on the other hand is what is biased in this case, I've even always been against stages like Norfair, LM or JJ (which is a -very- good stage for mk, as an olimar mainer you should know even more what I mean).
Moreover, I could also say in the same way that people voted to ban it because they don't play MK or simply a char advantaged by RC, so it just makes the job easier for them. And since I guess the majority that voted belongs to the second category, I win the basied debate.
How is questioning (denying may be a bit too strong) something voted and decided by anyone including randoms not smart ? Over all the players in europe, only like 20-30 of them without any selection voted. Accepting it without putting it into question is what is not really smart imo.
In US 1/2 players play MK, lol
Rainbow Cruise should be an ok stage if we had a "rainbow cruise" for grounded characters. And aerial based chars already have got brinstar as a "free win" stage. If im playing against Wario/MK/G&W just to note a few, ill probly ban brinstar, then they still have lylat for wario, delfino for MK, halberd for G&W,... but with RC allowed i would just ban it or brinstar and they would take me to the one i dont ban, which is mostly a free win. This would be ok if we had more stupid counterpicks like LM, JJ, Norfair, Greens Greens etc, but as we dont and we wont do it, it just gives a stupid advantage over aerial based characters that grounded based characters DONT have.
On a side note, the 3 starters are SV, FD and BF, 2 grounded based stages, and 5 starters is mostly PS1 besides Lylat, which gives 3 grounded based starters to 1 aerial chars based stage (YI is neutral for me). After saying that, i see ok that 3 starters tourneys have got RC allowed since the grounded based chars have got an advantage on starters, and i think the best should be 5 starters with lylat and not ps1, or 3 starters with no FD and YI as starter, and as most people are scruby and dont want YI as starter because one day on his life a shy guy stopped one ****ing fox's laser.
The reason why we have thinked that RC should be banned is because lots of players have to change his char to play here, and its obvious that you wont beat a MK player if you are not one (unless he sucks).
And we had a private european BBR because of what you stated, but for some reasons that i dont know it was deleted and we have random players who dont go to tourneys and dont play offline voting here.
PS: im probably changing my main to Wario or MK, i still dunno.
