fine lets go ahead and legalize wall grab/locks/etc. they aren't always present but can still happen and have a high chance right?
How is this NOT like the ICs chain grab?

Just stay away from a wall HURR DURR! I can say that if you're going to say "Don't get grabbed"

I'm not sticking up for D3's chain grab. But I think infinities are infinities no matter how you slice it

just skip to 2:56

@pianodude

That's my point exactly. If we're going to play this game just play it how it is and deal with it. But if you're going to get rid of some gay stuff but leave in other stuff it's just not going to work. It would be like eating an apple with bruises on it. You're going cut the bruises out so you can eat the apple but you're not going to cut out 1 or 2 then leave a few here or there. That would just be dumb.

List of everything that would need to be banned to keep people about whining about Infinites and Meta Knight:

Things to ban:
Meta Knight

Every chain grab in the game (IC, Dedede, Pikachu, Falco, Peach, Pit, Yoshi, Sheik, Ness, Lucas, Marth, Bowser, ZSS, Olimar, Wario, PT, those are just the characters I know of that have chain grabs)

Every wall infinite in the game (Tilt locks, Grab releases, Wolf's Dthrow)

Every tilt lock in the game (since if the infinites are banned, these would become broken, being the only form of easy comboing left)

Every footstool combo/infinite in the game (Falcon's infinite on ROB, ZSS's infinite on ROB, Wolf's footstool combo on ROB, etc.)

Everything dealing with grab releases (These would thus become broken since everyone else would have had their combos and stuff taken away)

Now spaming and camping is too good, so we'd have to limit the use of a move to 5 times before you have to approach.


... in the end you would end up with a game that's way too primitive that no one would want to play. It's the same thing that I heard from a MvC2 players when I asked him why infinites aren't banned in that game. "If you ban infinites then the game ends up becoming more broken from other stuff"

Edit: Oh yeah, almost forgot, you'd also have to ban Diddy's Bananas and Peach's turnips since there's a chance she can pull a bomb or a beam sword, that would be too broken in that fragile environment.

I just don't see what's wrong with the old "5 throws then you must throw them away" rule
I don't see what's wrong with the "just separate them/don't get grabbed, use a character that's hard to chain grab/pick stages with slopes or hazards or that move, so you don't get chain grabbed to death" strategy.

Ever see an Ice Climber 0-death over and over on a stage that isn't one of their best stages? It doesn't happen because of all the simple factors you put against them.



Also, if you limit their chain grabs to 5, you might as well limit all other chain grabs and combos to 5 too. Why limit one thing because it lasts longer than others, when other things are just as broken and can still 0-death?


Edit: In fact, I'd be more in favor of banning Pikachu's and ZSS's 0-death on Fox, that aren't hard to set up (well, idk about ZSS since I don't play her, so I won't say anything about her) than to ban a 0-death that's situational and is extremely hard to pull off, or even attempt until you have the right circumstances.

Edit edit: I forgot, you also didn't seem to see what was wrong with waiting for your opponent to pick a character so you could pick their worst matchup against them in round 1 in a tournament set, which should have no counterpicking involved.

That was my point >_> the "5 grab limit" was for everyone before, so it should be that way now.

edit:

Uh I didn't? I went D3 first then you *****ed and said "I'm not doing this ****" and went straight ICs. So you were the one that CPd me in the first match

gg sir

DANG EXPOSED!!!!!!

Also, LOL GUISE LETS LIEK B& GRAB RELEASE STUFF ON LUCAS AND NESS BY MARF AND OTHERS LOLOLOLOL.

Granted, it is ********, but it's a part of Brawl. Deal with it. Don't get grabbed, Lucas mains, and anyone worried about IC's.

A lie for an edit? I was sitting there thinking if I should go Wolf and you sat and watched, so I chose Wolf, then AFTERWARDS you choose Dedede. Why would I wait for you to pick D3, then go to wolf, say "I don't want to do this" and then switch to Ice Climbers right after that?

For now on, just call double blind picks. I've only witnessed two such events in all the time I've played smash.

Son while I was looking for my tag you go Wolf. I get my tag and go D3, then you go straight to the ICs and so I go MK then you went back to wolf. You need to get your story straight. Don't go accusing me of CPing you first when you obviously CPd me first. It's not my fault that you go Wolf while I was looking for my tag. You won anyways so stop *****ing about it and shut the **** up.

Dude, nothing about my story was wrong at all. Like I said, "I went wolf, then you went D3", even you just said it. If you're going to get that mad and call me a liar because I just pointed out that you chose my worst matchup against me, which seemed deliberate because you waited a while after I chose my character to switch to something who you didn't use a single time in friendlies, someone I've never seen you use before, and someone I've never heard of you using before, what was I supposed to think? Besides, Esca told me that you asked him for help to fight my wolf. Learn to play by yourself, you already knew how to give yourself an 80-20 matchup...

Dude, you don't have to get mad either, I settled with a 35-65 matchup in round one anyways, you have nothing to get mad about. Just because you didn't hold your ground and stay D3, or call for a double blind pick doesn't give you the right to be such a sore loser.

Edit: Anyways, the only reason I pointed out the D3 vs. Wolf thing was because it gives you much less credibility in my eyes than someone who wouldn't have done that...

Dude I don't care that I lost. I lose all the time and I come to accept it. It pisses me off though when people bring it up time and again on how they "won the impossible match-up." Besides who would stay D3 against ICs? That's just stupid. If you're going to use just Wolf in friendlies why wouldn't I go D3 in tourney? But your accusation was I "CPd you" no, CPing you would have just been going straight to Olimar then seeing you went to Wolf so I put my chip on D3. Which is what you did against me by going ICs when I went straight to D3. I'm done with this.

Siighh, people, stop being panzies. Dont ban MK.. he's not broken. Snake is the closest thing to broken in this game. The chain grab rules are fine. If you wanna fight D3 with luigi, find a way around it or CP. In this game, you might just have to CP some characters if your character has impossible match ups. If you dont want to CP, become that much better than your opponent.

Dude, you're still going on about this? You don't have to always get the last word, it doesn't make you look "cool" if that's what you're thinking.

It's kk, you'll learn some day :D

By the way, this thread is about Zori's DK, stop trying to derail the Houston thread.

all im saying is if you think ICs infinites and D3s infinites are at the same level of gayness, then your ********, seriously.

falcos infinite on metaknight is definetly on top of the gayness pyramid though. :)

He uses D3. He doesn't use Ice Climbers. Naturally he will be biased against Ice Climbers and for D3, since people tend to be biased towards their own characters.

(Not trying to say anything bad here, just saying, that's the natural thing to do.)

I wasn't sticking up for D3's infinite ****. My point was if it's an infinite it should be banned, and I brought up the fact that if one is banned both should be banned. You guys really need to learn how to read.

I said people are biased, not that you're sticking up for it.

I'll use your own quote for you

You guys really need to learn how to read.

Also, what honestly makes you think that you're right and other people are wrong when we tell you the level of D3's infinite gayness is way higher than IC's chain grab gayness? You lost to an AVERAGE player's 2 week old character with a 80-20 matchup in your favor, that should tell you something about your Brawl experience. Leave discussions to people that know what they're talking about.
