It does make us look pretty terrible, as if getting bodied by Japan at Apex wasn't enough lol

People have no pride though, they don't care about things like that as long as they have one less disadvantaged MU

The UK doesn't have metaknight banned but ironically, very few players actually main him. I think he's legal for most if not all European countries anyway

You can't be the best with metaknight even if you wanted to.
You will always know that who planks and spams, wins, tubad.
You're a gigantic ****.

I still main MK in that the ban is the final nail in the coffin ensuring that I will never come back, I had already semi retired but coming back for a tournament here or there wouldn't have been an issue. I'm not in a place where I want to dump all of my time into brawl anymore so picking up a new character doesn't interest me. I can't say for sure if the ban was warranted or not but I wish it had been done earlier if it was going to happen anyway, as it is it puts a very negative cloud over my memories of brawl where maybe it would have been different if it happened in 2009.
You're a gigantic pile of awesome.

Ironically? That's probably the reason he's not banned. We just don't have an MK problem.

I'm going to main MK, and I'm just not going to go to American MK-banned tournaments.

BCP is right. MK is an American problem in the community.
Even at that, it's in only a few regions. East Coast really. Texas doesn't have a problem with MK and even though West Coast has a bunch, he's really not much of an issue. I don't think he's an issue in Florida either.

While I agree with this, TOs from many regions who consulted w/ their peers and smash lab members (dunno what they actually do) ended up banning him because MK was perceived as a problem.

Smash is just a game to me. The fact that there's an active forum and a bunch of rad people who play the game in my region is what's kept me around.

Chile has atleast 3 tournaments per month, and 1 national per year (Not always, but atleast one every 2 years).

Argentina has 1-2 tournaments every 1-3 months. And they had a "National" (Or well, a big regional) last year.

I don't know too much about the Brazilian Smash scene. I only know that they have organized/had nationals in the past, and they have regular (Not soo sure if regulrar, but atleast a couple every one or two months) Local tournaments here and there.
....

thats so active in comparison to here XD

/jealouus

How big are the scenes in Europe, Japan, and South America?

Also good players will be able to transfer skills to a new character. Most top MK mains came from another character they were good with anyway.
at least for netherlands right now we have a playerbase, but nobody hosts so im not really sure. I know many players are kinda half playing or just not interested in practicing anymore.

even im kinda like. done with it. ive touched brawl for serious practice... twice since apex. (horrible for me im usually one of those i gotta play all the time people). Theres a melee scene that's active though and i kinda realize that a lot of my problems in brawl could be fixed by getting better at melee so it's really what im going to work on atm.

@Orion: Come to Abensberger Smash Spektakulär, you *** muncher

I'm actually considering dropping MK. Not because I think he's unfair, but because the friends of mine which I kinda rely on to get to tournaments are frustrated nearly to the point of quitting by my playstyle. :(

Relatively close... It's in Abensberg, the first weekend in May (4th to 6th). If you get to Mainburg (which is like a half-hour train ride then an hour-long bus ride from Munich Hauptbahnhof, and pretty much just the bus ride from the Airport), then you can probably hitch a ride with me from there to Abensberg. I could probably convince my mom to put you up on Thursday night if that'd help.

Ooo, what kind of playstyle do you have? I'll add it to my Pit if it's good enough, lol.

I agree with you that Meta Knight should definitely not be banned. Players should be able to use any character they want, even if they are totally OP.
