He was unexpected to win. But he is still very good and was expected to do well. And it is my understanding that he beat nienteno on relatively neutral stages.I understand what you're saying but I don't think we would be able to really compare unless we started playing on only Bf,FD,Yoshis for a long period of time as they do because with our current ruleset Their unexpected MK still won.
Its very possible if we played on only 3 stages Mk would be a little less dominant here and vice versa if they started playing with counterpicks MK would be more dominant there. But from the looks of it seems the community would definitley favor an MK ban over resorting to 3 stages.
Also, as a person which is more fair? Removing stages or characters. In the past aka melee, stages were banned not characters.
3 stages is super small. But perhaps a more neutral stage list, somewhere inbetween us and Japan would be a better choice.
As a community we have solutions that may avoid the need for a ban. But we avoid using them.
Japan came here and olimar got second out of how many competitors? Even with our ridiculous stage list and not normally playing on those stages. There metagame is way beyond ours bc olimar got taken to random stages he doesn't play on and still won sets. Or how about robs, oli, pika, ic, diddy all in the top rankings with a weird stage list.
We have options that may not be so extreme that could keep mk unbanned. We should atleast look into them. What about 5 or 7 legal stages? Ya know?
