To keep a long story short, Nintendo France has updated their ruleset for the official Nintendo tournament that bans Hero and all upcoming DLC characters after September 23rd. I know Hero has been banned in Australia, but this is something else. It’s not even just Hero himself, but future DLC characters like Terry Bogard.
Screenshot below shows the ruleset of the official Nintendo tournament which states its bans on Hero. Translation is provided as well for further understanding.
“The playable characters during the championship are the base 74 characters, and three of the DLC characters: Piranha Plant, Joker, and Banjo-Kazooie. Also, without this list being limitative, the Hero, and all future DLC characters that come after September 23rd are banned”.
It is real, and you can check it out by clicking this Link. The ban is the direct result of Nintendo trying to listen to the community when creating this ruleset. I believe they are aiming to get rid of any random elements especially from previous early tournaments, like the Smash Ball and FS Meter. It seems to me like Nintendo France doesn’t think Hero is a viable character in competitive play, which is kind of shocking since they’re banning their own character.
Let me know what you guys think of this ban so far.
