My solution to the weight class is default, max high, and max short IF adjustments to weight class were allowed. Then again the masses will cry out foul play. But that is also apart of the game. It was stated that the height of Mii's in Mii Maker would change their weight class in Smash.I've always been in favor of the use of Miis with alternative specials, but in my opinion in the competitive scene, to work properly, there would have to be imposed 2 rules before starting the matches: specify the weight and type of combination (1221 etc), so that the opponent has a notion on what he's dealing with allowing to plan the match up beforehand, otherwise the Mii player actually will start the match at advantage because of their unknown moveset. And in that sense it would apply even to Palutena too since the game brought with alternative specials already which means she is special and had extra work. Also she only breakes one only rule from Gimr's statement. This would only further enrich the meta game by adding new match ups.
I just had to quote all this because there was no better way I could have said this. Very good job!Hole in argument:
1) Are custom moves banned because they are simply customized versions of moves?
Well, we ought to ask ourselves, why are custom moves not allowed?
What are the arguments?
a) perceived logistical problems.
b) 'players must work hard to unlock them all!'
c) some moves are seen as overpowered
d) 'spammable'
e) top level players expressed distaste at them, and people followed (despite obvious biases)
If we do ban customized moves arbitrarily, is it customized moves which people have problems with or customized character fighters?
Custom Mii Fighters should be legal, and that is because the main arguments against Custom moves in general are empty and flawed.
a) logistical problems can be easily prevented by simply one person with a 3ds, thanks to the custom moveset project.
b) players only need to unlock the custom moves they are going to use in order to practice using custom moves. You only might want your main's custom moves and possibly your secondary's. Moreover, what EVO 2015 demonstrated too well is you don't need any custom moves to participate when they are legal.
-- Difficulty at obtaining them is an argument which would apply much better towards the DLC stages and characters being banned, but we clearly don't care about that.
c) being overpowered is why we ban Sheik right? No? ok. This argument is pretty much the embodiment of cowardice.
d) spammable (ie. brain dead) has never been a criteria for banning. Very few custom moves are spammable in the first place.
e) Top level players--- the goal is winning. In this sense, they already have everything they want. If they can just keep everything the same, they can be in their top positions for the whole game's life. We should not see such biased people as leaders, and we should not trust their word/authority on controversial debates.
Who cares? I just wanna play like I usually do.Quick question to fellow smashers, do you guys/gals believe that since the popular opinion is expressed by many smashers, top players, and those that support the opposite get bashed is the reason that changes to the rule-set are unlikely even with evidence stacked on both sides (flawed or one-sided)?
Just because his argument doesn't hold up doesn't mean he's wrong though.
I'm honestly surprised that this is really the only meaningful mention of Palutena thus far, as there's one very large issue concerning this exact character.If we were to include Palutena in this discussion, Gimir's last point regarding "only using characters allowed with customs turned off," would invalidate Palutena to her default specials but alas that is not what this thread is for and would cause an uproar not worth fighting for.
It's just my wishful thinking wanting to get this out since Gimir's video is posted here instead of making a separate thread for the minute subject and I feel that Gimir's point regarding Sakurai giving Mii fighters "special moves" rather than customs as defined by Gimir in the above video could also be applied to Palutena's case.
Uh, he said on Twitter and in the YT comments that he does think Palutena should have her customs.I'm honestly surprised that this is really the only meaningful mention of Palutena thus far, as there's one very large issue concerning this exact character.
See, Gimr specifically specified that he felt alleged custom moves had to fit within 2 of the 3 criteria, not all of them. As Palutena still gets around points #1 and #2, that'd mean that her alternate specials are also not truly custom moves. Was this intentional, meaning that he also does not consider Palutena's other specials as customs? Did he flat-out not know about the way hers work? It's honestly pretty hard to tell; he managed to go through the entire video without bringing her up at all (I was waiting literally the entire time too, lol), but at the same time specifying that only 2 points needed to be met was very specific and wouldn't make sense to put in if he wasn't aware.
Personally, I think Mii fighters should be legal. Ideally we'd be able to give them full freedom, but with tournament time pressure locking Mii players into a single moveset strikes me as far from unreasonable (prefereably one chosen by the player at the start of the tourney, though limiting by move viability would also work. Undecided on sizes, currently leaning towards a similar viewpoint as with moves). Regardless, this is a rather gaping hole in his argument as it is now and no matter why he didn't bring Palutena up its something that he'll likely have to go into detail on later.
...Oh... Well, derp. I don't really check either of those, thanks for informing me. I feel like there's gonna be issues held with that all the same, though.Uh, he said on Twitter and in the YT comments that he does think Palutena should have her customs.
The problem with that is many other characters have a superior custom moveset. If miis are allowed to stick with thier most optimal moveset then why shouldn't other characters?As much as I want full customization of Miis to be legal, the community/TOs are too stubborn for it to ever realistically happen. The Mii players agreeing on a best set for each character would easily be the most viable option at the moment, I feel. For example, most Gunner players agree 3312 is the best moveset for Gunner, so that's the one that'll be used in tournaments. Both sides win in some capacity.
I know this sounds like a good idea but on the assumption that a particular player has a play-style regarding moves that are not allowed out of the "popular" ones. They would not be able to show off their new strategy to the public and will forever remain silent unless they post it online and get some if any recognition there.My opinion on the matter:
Custom moves: I think each Mii fighter (Brawler, Swordfighter, Gunner) should have like 4 different combination (those being the best and most popular). When you counterpick character, you'll also counterpick combination, treating each combination as a different character. This won't be that difficult for TO's, 4 for each is reasonable I think.
Weight/Size: I think different weight/sizes should be banned. It feels so different from all the other character, it could also be difficult to make it work well on bigger tournaments.
I really hope Mii's are given this movepool.
Although I do think limiting them to their most optimal moveset is still a step up.I agree with giving Mii's their custom moves, and sizes if we can get that far. However, full customs should never be allowed in all tournaments, and people pressing this is a huge fear.
The main reason that custom tournaments have been interesting to watch is that people are not abusing the broken ones, and it is usually only the top tiers that really get to abuse them. Sheik gets more options, Rosalina gets directly better options for all of their uses, Sonic can camp and is nearly impossible to approach, Mario's up b can combo into kill at 0%, and while not top tier, Donkey Kong's are just broken.
Guys, what's considered broken is your opinion and many others. Rephrasing what @erico9001 said earlier, pro players want to limit certain options so they continue to win, anything seen as an obstacle will be thrown aside.I know this sounds like a good idea but on the assumption that a particular player has a play-style regarding moves that are not allowed out of the "popular" ones.

once upon a time i went to a weeklies where there was a guy named tru. In the weeklies, customs were available and tru was a very happy custom-palutena main. recently, (for the better in my opinion) they got rid of customs and now tru will forever be a living meme of the lost soul who just wanted customs, even tho no one else likes them. anyway that was off topic i hope someone was mildly entertained and leave a comment, like, and subscribe for more spooky stuff.but Palutena

1. No, they are usually required to have the moves in the name.2 problems I could foresee with having Custom Miis:
- Every non mii character has 4 special moves, therefore you know exactly what moves they're going to use. With Mii Fighters, at the earliest you won't know what moves they're using until they pick their character (even then that's only if they have the move numbers in the names, or you're fortunate enough to watch them set their Mii up on the console). At the latest you're going to know which moves they're using when you're on the receiving end of them. This gives the Mii user an unfair advantage over anyone using a non-Mii character.
- The amount of time it takes for a player to set up their Miis on each console they go to would slow down tournaments. As an example, imagine you're playing against a very particular person who at home has a 1133 Gunner for X matchup, but a 1224 Gunner for Y matchup and then a 1442 Brawler as their main and a 1332 Swordsman just in case. He/she wants to set them all up on the console beforehand, otherwise you'd be deciding on a counterpick while they're setting their Miis up. Suddenly you've spent 4-5 minutes setting up Miis when you could have already had Game 1. TOs don't like slow tournaments, and this would just serve to slow your match down considerably.
[on 2.] This still leads to time wasted, that, in the long run, ends up drastically slowing down gameplay.1. No, they are usually required to have the moves in the name.
2. Miis take less time to setup than custom names and controls.
It "leads to" thirty seconds of time per Mii. It's not like there are a lot of Mii mains anyways, and we already let people set up custom controls. Your argument falls flat.[on 2.] This still leads to time wasted, that, in the long run, ends up drastically slowing down gameplay.
This is why it's better to set things up before the tournament starts. It's not hard.[on 2.] This still leads to time wasted, that, in the long run, ends up drastically slowing down gameplay.
I was just sayin if there was to be a Mii only tourney or sumtin like that.It "leads to" thirty seconds of time per Mii. It's not like there are a lot of Mii mains anyways, and we already let people set up custom controls. Your argument falls flat.
What I have understood it is "illegal" to stream PM.Didn't GimR ban PM from his stream? Who gives a **** what he thinks. I'm not keen to take the word of what should and shouldn't be allowed from someone that willingly ostracizes a large portion of the player base.
