Because all the cool kids in Washington do it?Can someone explain to me why the SBR has arbitrarily decided on a 2/3 Majority for a winner?
Because we've used a 2/3 majority for everything we have done...ever?Can someone explain to me why the SBR has arbitrarily decided on a 2/3 Majority for a winner?
No, that's wrong, sorry.That's wrong, sorry.
An 5% majority is nothing the community "clearly" wants, it's something the community obviously is split on, otherwise it wouldn't be so close to be exactly 50:50.
Because 2/3 will never happen? Too many in the SBR like MK, they like how much money they can win with him.Can someone explain to me why the SBR has arbitrarily decided on a 2/3 Majority for a winner?
And, I concede this point, but the thing that I was more or less pointing out is that it illustrates the need to either play as MK, or study the matchup to no end.He's the best, most used character.
This is not surprising. With MK gone, most character boards would probably start with Snake. He's the next best, next most used by quite the margin, character.
To my knowledge, all I remember seeing at that time was mentioning these aspects in terms of matchup study, on a character vs _____ basis. That is to say it was placed in Matchup Discussions in similar fashion to "Watch out for (insert move), and deal with it by...". To my knowledge, there wasn't a "universal" ?wtfdoIdo? thread.While I was not around at the time, I'm certain that you'd be able to find threads like that in the melee days, such as how to beat Falco's laser camping, how to beat getting shine spiked, how to avoid Fox's u-throw->u-air (lolish thread), etc.
Agreed, but the point is that with no MK a wider selection of characters that would do well against the "new" number one are once more viable, and actually very good choices, at least as a secondary, which would either extend the "cut-off" of viable, or move them up and others down. Im not trying to insinuate that low & low/mid tiers would suddenly be the flavor of the week, but that those on the borderline could receive enough of a boost to be considered viable.Again, you've said it and I've said it; when your character doesn't do so well against the most used character in the game, then they're probably not going to be so high on the tier list.
However, with the first paragraph, it somewhat works like that, but it's more of a character not being viable in the first place than MK being the problem. If Diddy's notable bad match-ups (Peach and Luigi) were the most used and second most used characters in the game, then he probably wouldn't be as high as he is now. However, they're both in lower mid-tier ish. Peach has bad match-ups against MK, Marth, Game and Watch, Snake, and maybe slight disadvantage Falco. Luigi has bad match-ups against D3, Game and watch, Marth, and MK. AKA, they both have very problematic match-ups in high tier, meaning you won't see as much of them in tournament, meaning even though they have the advantage on Diddy, Diddy's won't encounter them much because of it.
It's not only MK.
And that's what I was essentially meaning, as a secondary for that matchup. Which, isn't anything negative in and of itself, it is just the... suddenness and urgency with which people considered this.I can argue that people didn't flock to Wario, Diddy, or ICs when people thought that they went even with MK. People may have considered or switched to them, but flock simply because they have a good match-up against MK? Unless you're a character that gets completely wrecked by MK, and even then they'd probably just look at these characters for secondaries for that one match-up.
Place well in tourneys; See: Snake, Wario, ICs as of late, Diddy, with a dash of Falco ... all of which are chars that supposedly have a good MU against MK (not so sure about the Falco, but I recall M2K saying something about if the Falco plays uber campy its close).He is the best character. These are traits that are inherent of the best character in the game.........over-centralization would imply that he makes many characters unviable, and the only characters that place well in tournaments only place well because they have a good match-up against MK.
I don't look at MU ratios, as they are arbitrary for the most part. I see anything that puts a char at a significant, exploitable disadvantage that is not offset by that same char creating a significant, exploitable disadvantage a counter.First off, the word countered should not be applied to a 55:45 or even a 6:4 match-up
I've no problem with best options, but seeing a "best option" not being the "best option" ALL THE TIME due to lack of bad matchups. (I hate to beat that horse as its been beaten time and time again, hence why I left the whole "no bad matchups" out)Secondly, you'd see a large spike in diversity originally, if only because of the amount of MKs that aren't allowed to use MK anymore. 20-25% or however many it is depending on your region can't use MK, and are probably using some other random S-A tier character. There would still be a best option (probably Snake), and while they'd have a bad match-up, they'd still be a best option.
From what I gather: Falco gets rid of a lot of the ZSS threat (been ages since I looked at the ZSS boards, but I think they had Falco listed as their worst, not MK). ROB now has a CP char against a ZSS. Snake and ROB are pretty even, ROB and Marth are even, GaW beats ROB pretty hard, who is in turn beat by Snake. The point is, you create a large "paper-rock-scissors" counterpick system far more expanded than it is now with MK, trumping even Melee's system.Thirdly, the amount of tournament diversity you'd see, as already mentioned, would mainly come from the MKs not being MK anymore, and probably an increase of mainly Marth and Toon Link. R.O.B. gets hard countered by ZSS, and Peach has troubles with Snake, Marth, and Game and Watch.
My only point about diversity, is that it enhances the overall game. No one plays char B because MK ***** it hard. So, no one really invests a LOT of time in said char, while there MAY be something floating around that improves them. maybe not to the point of placing at tourneys, but to the point of another char worrying about that char being tucked into someone's back pocket. Again, it creates an elaborate, strategic system of character counter/advantages.Fourthly, character diversity, as you said, is a moot point to use in this entire argument. Banning for character diversity is a bad reason to ban when a character isn't ban-worthy anyway; we don't ban D-F tier just because they get ***** by S-A tier, so the mains can use more viable characters and indirectly create more tournament diversity. That'd be just silly.
Unless the diversity is necessary to the point where MK is the only viable option, banning for diversity is unnecessary and shouldn't be highly considered.
Genesis was on my mind when I wrote it, and I simply said to look, I never said it was one way or the other. Just a hunch. Give me a list of the major tournaments month by month for the past 6 months and I'll be happy to do so. (I have a hard time keeping up with names of tourneys, so I can't remember what tourney to look for, although I do look at brackets &results & such)Please provide exact information.
I agree, and the point was just made as an illustration that neither side should use a handfull of random events as strength for their arguments.While I understand what you mean by scrutinizing it more when someone who wins in a really disadvantageous match-up, but many of MKs closer match-ups are even or 55:45, meaning the mistakes could go either way.
This is true, I can agree that at really high levels of play the adv/disadv btwn chars may be miniscule that CPing based on char may be rendered useless. But, if the character CP isn't that important, then why evidence it in the above paragraph about "improving to even with a char cp..." (not meaning to call you out, just curious)Plus, I've said multiple times in this thread (pretty recently too) that the character counterpick system isn't important or used enough in mid-high levels of play for MK to HAVE to have a disadvantageous match-up. I'll quote it if needed.
Because Ness and MK is an even matchup (FOW vs Tryrant {or was it dojo, i always get them confused}) & FOW vs Dojo. I was more or less saying that on any given day, anything can happen. All sorts of external things can come into play, and it is important to analyze that regardless of whether the MK wins/loses, but MORESO if he loses... to see if the non-MK player was onto something in terms of developing a winning strategy that could be applicable in the future, or if it was just... out of the blue.Even match-ups.
iirc didn't the articles of confederation require a 3/4 vote? iirc virtually NOTHING ever got passed.If it were me, I'd go for 3/4. At the very least. As to a basic explanation, just a mere majority allows for the sort of stupidity you see in a show where people are Dying Like Animals.
Agreed. There are so many alt accounts that have voted in this poll.I guess no one cares that this is one of the least reliable polls... ever?
...I guess no one cares that this is one of the least reliable polls... ever?
I noticed...I don't think we'll get anywhere 'till praxis and infernoomni have a deathmatch to decide who's right.
Voted yes on banning; i don't play brawl, but the pro ban side had cool vids.
This guy is a d!ckhead. don't listen to him.oPro ban doesn't stand a chance in hell especially if you got m2k jumping up and down on peoples balls sack bribing some sbr members to vote no. It's also Obvious that m2k sandbags and anything else that will keep mk in the game.
Yes.lol @ the word majority.
majority clearly means the most of.
So like, if there are 3 apples and I have 2 of them, I have the majority of the apples.
don't get me wrong, 54% of the community wanting the ban and 46% of the community not wanting ban doesn't that one side completely overwhelms the other, but it is a majority.
of course, we could then talk about pie, and how I had 51% of it while you had 49% of it. Even though its a pretty legit spilt and you probably wouldn't miss that 1% of the pie you didn't get, I still had the majority of it.
True. 3-5% more people than those that don't want him gone. That's so many.I think the fact that this is the fourth vote and each time pro ban wins should say something. It's obvious more people want him gone than not. If this wasn't a topic that was important, it wouldn't be reoccurring so often with the same results.
Trolls are getting lazy.okay what we know... SBR is biased and that the argument for pro ban is clearly a better "argument", what i'm trying to say is. If mk pays those bills especially half or more of the sbr since alot of them being in that age of "PAY BILLS FTL". They want mk to make this easier for them so it's necessary to keep this bs on and to give some annoying impossible 2/3 vote. Pro ban doesn't stand a chance in hell especially if you got m2k jumping up and down on peoples balls sack bribing some sbr members to vote no. It's also Obvious that m2k sandbags and anything else that will keep mk in the game. Theres a reason m2k lost apex/genesis lol. But some guy like spadefox might find some error in this post and go again...
You know I don't wanna hear **** from the anti ban until they answer "Praxis, Chibos" comment with some decent intelligence if there is any from the anti ban.
lolol "i'm anti ban". "FIND A WAY", theres always a way! LOL I'M "BUM THE BEST DK"! Oni163 (12:03:08 AM): :"just get through it somehow":, lololol just get through it somehow... EPIC FAIL SON EPIC FAIL! all you anti guys say the same **** thing seriously stfu. All that i've read it's been the samething over and over for the past 300 pages. "he's beatable"; lol not the point!!!!!!!!! "mk results are declining"; OBJECTION!!!!!!!!!! is what i have to say. "Theres a way, you'll find it", sry vex you fail.
Stop with this bull**** argument, seriously. First off, it's a ****ing character ban. 55% is not nearly enough to ban a character. A character ban should be obvious and unanimous.I think the fact that this is the fourth vote and each time pro ban wins should say something. It's obvious more people want him gone than not. If this wasn't a topic that was important, it wouldn't be reoccurring so often with the same results.

You tell me... You anti ban guys say it all the time lol, I just say what I read from you guys going against the pro ban etc. so if u call me ******** then I know where it derived from. "anticoughban".He is beatable...but its not the point...
wtf
Uair momentum cancelling. Need I say more?Vertical kill moves say hi. MK's recovery wont make up for his light weight then.
I think it's time to give myself a pat on the backThat post is still trolling people 3 days and 27 pages later.
Ignore him, he's trolling.Listen you douchebag, all I know is that M2K hates sandbagging. And do you have any ****ing proof that he bribes the SBR to keep MK in the game?
No. No he doesn't.And do you have any ****ing proof that he bribes the SBR to keep MK in the game?
Hobo 17 had a Snake as #1 and 3 Diddys right below that. If you replace the Diddys from hobo 17 with MKs you have the same top4 as genesis. And according to lolPraxis genesis results support the MK ban. So hobo 17 supports a diddy kong ban, right?Sooo Dojo is amazing.
Discuss.
Furthermore, Hobo 17 had one more Diddy in the Top 8 than Genesis had Meta Knights in it.Hobo 17 had a Snake as #1 and 3 Diddys right below that. If you replace the Diddys from hobo 17 with MKs you have the same top4 as genesis. And according to lolPraxis genesis results support the MK ban. So hobo 17 supports a diddy kong ban, right?
we both know that theres way more than that that goes into it but if you want to say that, thats fine. i dont have a problem with not fighting diddyHobo 17 had a Snake as #1 and 3 Diddys right below that. If you replace the Diddys from hobo 17 with MKs you have the same top4 as genesis. And according to lolPraxis genesis results support the MK ban. So hobo 17 supports a diddy kong ban, right?
Let's ban Diddy Kong!

Pikachu's more ban-worthy than Meta, look at these two videos:Let's ban Diddy Kong!
Umm, so? Does that matter? No. I disagree with the method. Regardless if you've used it in the past. It's still arbitrary, and you're begging the question.Because we've used a 2/3 majority for everything we have done...ever?
None of Diddy's counter characters were present and MK doesn't have any. Stop saying the same bull**** over and over again, you're wrong.Furthermore, Hobo 17 had one more Diddy in the Top 8 than Genesis had Meta Knights in it.
how the hell am I trolling? meh Define; troll because I have not the slightest clue on how your using it to define me as "TROLLING"Ignore him, he's trolling.
just keep saying the stupid baseless **** you've been saying.how the hell am I trolling? meh Define; troll because I have not the slightest clue on how your using it to define me as "TROLLING"
hahaha, this is soooo goodokay what we know... SBR is biased and that the argument for pro ban is clearly a better "argument", what i'm trying to say is.

Really unanimous? So 1 person thinking MK is beatable is still too many?Trolls are getting lazy.
Stop with this bull**** argument, seriously. First off, it's a ****ing character ban. 55% is not nearly enough to ban a character. A character ban should be obvious and unanimous.
And have you even looked at the people voting on this poll? Half of them are either alt accounts, or people who have no association with the smash community other than making an account on smashboards.
Seriously, enough of that argument. It's terrible.
But you are aware of the fact that almost half of the community is not a neglectable minority, right?Umm, so? Does that matter? No. I disagree with the method. Regardless if you've used it in the past. It's still arbitrary, and you're begging the question.
Just like you're wrong on the fact that Ledgestalling has been banned because of Meta Knight alone.None of Diddy's counter characters were present and MK doesn't have any. Stop saying the same bull**** over and over again, you're wrong.
?In a game where 75% of the people have used Mk to win a set(that possibly shouldn't have been won), it's amazing pro-ban even has the lead. Ren is right, MK is like their income. Why would you vote to ban a character that pays your bills?
