I never said you lied, but lying outright isn't the only form of dishonesty, you know. If you all knew, and it sounds like you all did, that the margin of change from this poll compared to the last would have to have been significant by a margin with a slim-to-none chance of happening, then you shouldn't have posted this poll. You weren't involving us, because you all knew pretty well that we would just be ignored anyway; it's an illusion of involvement.

Yes, technically this poll will add votes to the SBR poll... but it won't actually effect anything, and everyone knew it wouldn't. That's not exactly being forthright. It would have saved us ALL a lot of trouble and headaches to just tell us you had made your decision instead of letting 55% of the community think for a week like their opinion would have actually mattered.
We didn't know that Anti-Ban was going to win from the start, neither did we know that Pro-Ban would lead by roughly 5% here.

That's just what you're reading out of the neutral statement that Anti-Ban has a solid lead since the poll was closed a few hours ago in your solely ungrounded hatred for the SBR.

We, or at least I, appreciated that you wanted to involve us. I really do. But that was not the way to do it.
I thought that it was a good way to involve the community.

... But revealing the reality wasn't a smart choice. Leave the community in the dark, thinking that they're helping, it's a MUCH better idea.

It's not that hard to figure out if you're paying attention to things.

But for those who weren't, like the ones who are complaining, wouldnt've noticed in the end. There are reasons why the government lies to the population every once in a while, to maintain order.



I really don't care, I said what i wanted to say, people answered me, and I answered back. That's all I really wanted to do.

The ones who aren't smart enough to figure it out would complain either way.

It's not the better choice, but the choice doesn't matter.

I honestly thought pro-ban was going to win because of how much more vocal they were in the SBR and the fact that they won the straw poll a while back.

I vote anti-ban.

I hate MK. He and people who main him disgust me to no end. But people who have been maining MK before the Back Room even announced Brawl's tier list. To deny them a character that they have not been maining simply because of the metagame or results of tourneys, but because they appreciate MK as a character, is wrong.

Likewise, pro-ban were the ones with leads on the polls, and their summary in the OP was pretty well-made. I enjoyed the read, it was entertaining.

Well, things aren't usually how they appear, so yeah, outright guessing by public statistics isn't always the way to precisely predict the future.

Meh, it's practically decided when a big enough lead is made. And right now, apparently, anti-ban has that lead. No matter what pro-ban does, in a realistic scenario, we cannot catch up in time.

I don't think people are going to stop complaining about MK's banning on either side unless there is some unexpected huge discovery in the future.

I don't think people will stop complaining either. This may not be the "last" time this poll will happen but who knows we'll see in the future. Well it was good...

if anyone has any last spam or trolling to do do it now
Will do, thanks. I just want to say that its sad that some in the community to not even recognise that we have a problem. Even if the solution to that problem is not banning MK, some people still refuse to acknowledge that he is a problem.

4 polls, all with the majority calling for a ban means we have a problem. And we need to fix it somehow, if not banning MK then some other way, but things can't stay like this.

Its done, ggs.

I main Mk now.

I would too, if it wasn't for the fact that my state is awesome and has long since had MK banned.

We, Texas, and LA and having fun down here. Everyone else, enjoy the broken metagame. :D

I agree with him. There's so many trolling and spamming by both sides and it will not end unless something is done about Meta Knight.

I wonder who's actually going to use him now that he's not banned.

I, for one, WILL start to use him for the lulz, and might even go to a tourney or two and use him to see if I can win with him. ;)

Well DUH, no one picks up a character and does well in 3 days.

Enjoy playing a match-up you have zero experience in.

Banning MK does nothing but set you back. Badly.
