@Everyone, but mainly exarch
For starters, I am just gonna speak my mind on this issue. I played Mewtwo in tournaments for over a year. I had my fair share of crap, but I never made a crusade about banning stages and whatnot. Even though I was tremendously disadvantged, I was able to overcome a lot of crap I ran into. BELIEVE ME, that **** was frustrating, but I worked it out. As of late all that frustration culminated to me finally switching; however, during my prime, I didn't really feel as if a character or a stage advantage was really holding me back all that much, it was the fact that my opponent was simply better.
This is why I don't understand it when people complain about every little thing in a matchup. Yes, I can see how you wouldn't like to play a Marth on YS with Peach. HOWEVER, that Marth doesn't want to play your Peach on DL64. BF, well the stage allows for Peach to survive decently, a lot better than YS does. It's kinda like a medium between the two, with a gimpy ledge that bums everyone out. If anything, your beef is with having one extra stage on random that goes towards Marth, not RC.
You are prolly thinking, "Hey mookie, you are contradicting yourself. If you don't care about people complaining then why did you make a campaign to save RC?"
Valid question. Here is the answer. I went through the trouble of learning to play on RC, and I like the stage a good bit. I have always complained about it in the past and I too have tried to convince people to ban it. Now, after really giving it a chance and learning to use it as an advantage, people want to strip it away for the SAME reasons they didn't let me ban it for. That ain't right. If I couldn't ban it out of bias before, we shouldn't ban it out of bias now. I have matured since then and realized that by just not liking a stage is no where near validation for banning. So far the only thing about RC that are valid reasons to ban it from neutrality is that it's not great for Peach, and some Falco's think it's good for them. If you ban it for that then you should also ban DL64, for helping people with good recoveries, or YS for helping people with good, quick, kill moves.
Anyways, back to what I was talking about earlier; I never said that just because other Peaches have learned the stage that they were Peach counterpicks. I was just saying that other people have figured out ways to make it not as big of a deal. Why not talk to some of the players that have dealt with it. All it takes is for one person to do it consistently to show that it can be done, and the fact that Wife beat Ken in a non-fluke tournament match means that at the highest level Peach can deal with Marth on Yoshi's Story.
