Its pretty desperate to disgard two years worth of brawl tournament history in Australia, including those classified as nationals in one swift post dekar =).

Everyone good at a national would need a healthy round robin :D
With smashville only.
Hunter national plz?

Host your Sydney national an extra day for all the countrie's PR players for a RR :D

anyways some of you are quite clearly confused by some of the things said in this thread (looking at you aerodome, but its ok, its not your fault right?) so let me properly explain to you what move staleing is
move staleling is "When 2 zeldas are spamming side B at you, if one of them changes to sheik and then back to zelda and hits you with a side B, you'll die" now thats universal for every character and shame on you all for not knowing a basic fundimental skill.
If you honestly believe I think that “When 2 zeldas are spamming side B at you, if one of them changes to sheik and then back to zelda and hits you with a side B, you'll die” you’re probably the most confused one here.

Sorry. I just had to chime in there, lake atyo.

Aero your Zelda is terrible. His name is not lake atyo and if that was a joke it failed in making me laugh.

swordsaint S.D is good at melee, brawl and commentary i think he's probally the real man in the state. lol.

Yes perth is Legit and good but most of NSW players are around Sam's / Vlade / Ric's level. Thats what i am trying to say so alot of them are at a strong level.

Alzi, your face is terrible. Your pathetic font size is just you overcompensating for everything you don't have, and just so you can garner attention from others.

Aero, you're a worse troll than my brother. Seriously.

Eh, this is dumb and getting off topic. Next national (or supposed national but lack of hype thanks to Adelaide being Adelaide) should add even more stats for statistics fairies to count and throw around.

If you don't come to Reloaded; you're all just nimrods, basically.

if you honestly believe that your funny and NOT making everyone facepalm, then go ahead and keep being a ******, go learn how to troll from dekar.

But I don't like slugs.

Why did you have to use slugs in this reference lol.

Someone turn this topic back on track for me, I've got nothing to question for Brawl.

I prefer Luke making witty posts that "step on the slug", so to speak, where Luke is awesome (and sometimes others get to join the awesome too), rather than where you all try to defend each others states, where you all suck, lol.

wow i love this thread. so many lols.

ok, ill put it back on track for you, sieg.

question: what does australia think about banning mk?

firstly, im just trying to generate interesting and friendly conversation. secondly, i know he isnt that much of a problem in this country. BUT mk alone makes quite a number of the cast unusable completely. thirdly, i dont personally struggle that much, so this is not why i bring up this discussion.

I use Snake and am very familiar with (Australian) MKs so I'm against banning him.

Ban Kirby though. Pink piece of ****.

I personally think he should be banned.

His character alone is destroying possibilities for many other characters out there.

He controls the metagame and I believe it is one of the reasons the game is not as popular as it could be.

this.

i beat *** mks now, so it doesnt matter to me as a snake main, but it matters to so many others out there. i think it stops them from playing the game.

look at the tier list. to a large extent, it reflects how characters come up against mk alone. at the very least, this is how top/high tier behave.

snake deals with mk well, so he is 2nd.
d3 and marth really struggle, sending them rather far down the list, despite how well they take on 95% of the cast. marth can kinda manage i suppose, but winning a tourney with d3 is kinda impossible. mk lols all over you with the little red button.

but imagine if mk was banned? d3 has advantages or goes even(ish) with the rest of high/top tier. imo he would rise to the best in the game. and people would start using him. we would diversify the game.

and what about oli? he really struggles with mk, but with him gone, he would only really have one top/high tier bad mu. he too should rise.

marth should rise and counter act the rise of wario. rob would also suddenly become viable.

well what do you know, we just made brawl about 3x more interesting. even if we did a temp ban, i think people would pick up new characters and get comfortable with them, meaning smash would stay interesting after he was reinstituted also.

something to think about anyway.

I think the NSW power rankings speak for themselves to be honest.

There is no growth potential for other characters.

What hounds?

I don't get it. If you want to, you can actively discuss with us though.

The point is that players choose to play MK to play matches they don't feel there own character is up to, which stops character growth.

Just ftr, all those Metaknights really shouldn't be there. Maybe about 3 or 4 of us actively use him. It was honestly a joke.

I only use MK as a joke on people that I cbf using Falco on so I can get a match done quickly. I use Snake when I see Ice Climbers pop up.

With Dededes infinites, he makes certain characters unusable completely, I dont think MK affects any characters that badly.

I think if you want to ban MK, your main argument would reside in what he does to the counterpicking system, because in Australia, Tibs Diddy makes characters unusable completely more than any MKs we have, and lets face it no-one is actually doing the stuff that makes MK bannable really, so yeah, if you ignore what he does to stage counterpicking and character counter picking, than there you have absolutely NO ARGUMENT for banning him in Australia.

However looking at what he does to the Counterpicking system, it is quite clear that character wise, CPing MK is mainly knowing the MK (as in the player) and what character they specifically have trouble with, counterpicking the player not the character, for example Nicks has a lot of trouble against Snake (who probably is the best choice vs MK anyway though, so i guess Snake sort of CP's MKs better than most, I'd assume).
AND THEN
Looking at Stage Counterpicking, Norfair is good - (because the MKs here are Aussie ones) the whole camping skill on it is reduced so they dont actually have the advantage most people assume, Norfair is a good stage for CPing MKs (for my char, which is good on Norfair even if he doesnt camp at all).
But you have ridded that, and also it's only good for my character and like 3 others.
So now the closest stage we have for CPing MK is neutrals namely FD, and only few characters can actually CP a stage that keeps/makes the MU 50/50, and id assume some could make it better (pretty sure the MK vs GaW MU, Australia wise, is in GaWs favour on Halberd it just feels like it against everyone I play)

Thoughts Attila the Smashin' Assassin'?

^ what scoot said.

Pretty much every MK against the names in the PR was a joke. We don't actually main metaknight.

So yeah please stop referencing it as a prime example of the MK epidemic :p

Splice, CPing good metaknights based on what characters they have trouble with is not a sustainable strategy. If they are a half decent player they should quickly be able to overcome whatever you try (assuming the character you're using against them insn't your main)...especially since MK doesn't have any bad matchups anyway.

I don't really like MK. He gimps me way too much.

But then, banning MK would put Snake at the top of the list, wouldn't it? Who are Snake's most effective counters?
