MD/VA Power Rankings: Updated 8/14/12

[KageMurphy]

Apex stage list plus 1 MK per team limit in doubles, I'd still attend stuff like that.

 

[Kaffei]

If tourneys keep MK, I think Rainbow/Brinstar/both should be axed

i agree so much

 

[Omni]

Japanese Stagelist. Only da stonkest survives.

 

[KageMurphy]

No CPs would make this game get stale pretty fast, CPs add more depth to the game, we just don't need ridiculous ones.

 

[Omni]

I disagree.

I feel like lowering the stagelist would allow players to focus more on characters.

 

[KageMurphy]

I suppose but playing on only 3 stages continuously will become stale from my point of view, it also makes striking null n void, like there would really be no point to it. So if we go back to random select(I think that's what we did b4 striking, right? LOL) then there is a good chance you'll get a ICies or Diddy on FD game 1 lol.

 

[Omni]

Learn and master your character match-ups!

I feel like having more stages allows people to lean on the stage rather than their own ability. Instead of like... learning a match-up in more depth we tend to just counterpick a stage to seek an automatic advantage. Hence, PocketKnights counterpicking Brin/RC/Frig/Delphino and just derping all over the place without any added skill level involved.

 

[KageMurphy]

I agree that mastering your character is essential to success, pocketknight is something people try to lean on and that should stop. However my main issue with the j.a.p stage list is becoming bored, I'm all for trying both though at events, it be cool to experiment with both lists here for a few months and see what works best. Frigate and Delphino aren't comparable to RC n Brin imo lol.

 

[GimR]

not gonna lie, I would play every single round on Battle field if my opponent let me.

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

If experimenting means more tourneys I'm all for it!

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

Counterpick stages are okay to me, but certain characters are still really uncomfortable on them. With all the stages to choose from I think rainbow/brinstar should be permabanned and with the rest of the stages players get TWO stage bans in a set. That way if you're facing mk you can take frigate/delphino, the not so broken metaknight stages, out of the picture too.

 

[Seagull Joe]

I'll be hosting an Md/Va tourney in February. I hope it gets a decent turnout. My ruleset will have the same stages as the Apex ruleset with legal and I'm going to switch Fd with Ps1 as a starter for the 5 strikes (I ain't doing 7) because Fd is seriously a cp...

Also going to put in a rule about characters having to get up from the edge after re-grabbing 5 times (Basing this number off tether recoveries auto not regrabbing the edge after 5 and it sems fair). LGL of 30 for every character.

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

Have you decided on a venue?

We sorta have to plan out going up to anything in MD, haha

Also, PS1 in over FD is awesome

[MysteryRevengerson]

I went to Xanadu, and 2Fast is the one that makes it out to stuff, I'm mostly asking for him (since he'd be my ride anyway)

Man you guys just love calling me out :V

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

30 ledge grabs is dumb, and ps1 is more a cp than fd

 

[Pitzer]

Man I don't even know anymore. FD is just gay. <.<

 

[Kaffei]

fk dis gaym

 

[Coney]

tried to secure a venue in glen burnie, got told they could do tourneys pretty much any day except saturday

welp

 

[KageMurphy]

If the next MD/VA event doesn't get a good attendance then I don't know what to do, lucky for us Jose is interested in playing again so that is another car pool from VA which is excellent news! ^__^

LOL

 

[Pitzer]

Yo if you guys can host something next weekend or 3 weeks from now I'll def go!

 

[boss8]

how is FD gay? aside from

diddy/olimar xD

 

[Luckay4Lyphe]

FD is the only stage where no other factors come into play with character vs character such as platforms, walls, transformations, objects with hurtboxes, etc. How is a stage with nothing but the floor a counterpick?

This guy knows what's up!

Host more tournies in MD/VA so SoVA can come down more often...

EDIT: FD seems counterpick for campers pretty much. Falco ,Pit and MK especially...Just mix up phantasms here and there and your damn near untouchable. Pit and MK can just scrouge you.

FD is always banned when I go against these characters since my characters can't chase any of them down

 

[KORNNNNN~]

...mk is not good on FD <.<

omg 1 match up
1 hour set tho
gay
LOL

 

[Remzi]

Hosting MK legal tournaments already? We aren't even going to try a MK ban out?

 

[KageMurphy]

What do you mean we? When is the last thing you even attended? Pound 5? Lol

Banning a character is outright stupid, this community is just too soft, luckily Apex has opened a lot of peoples eye's though. A stage list like Apex + a limit of one MK per team is loads better then a biased and unjustified outright ban.

 

[_Kadaj_]

The Japanese players play with more than just 3 stages, they also play on Lylat, Yoshi's, Delfino, and one other stage that I don't remember atm

PS1 is what you're looking for iirc.

Ah I went to one event after that I think but it was really small. I'm just starting to play again after a pretty long break. And I still won't be too active since I pretty much always work. Thats all irrelevant though. I just think if the rest of the nation is embracing the mk ban decision we should at least give it a shot and see if we like it better.

I don't think you saw apex then. I can see some big things happening in the next couple of months regarding stages and the MK ban.

 

[Omni]

Embrace the URC?

Lol.

 

[@TKbreezy]

Half of you people complaining about MK don't even get far enough in tournament for MK To really matter to you.

the last time I recall bengalz losing was definitely to Boss who does not play MK

I like the suggestions given out so far with the 1 MK + japan stage list.

and yes I don't get far in tournament but I have yet to ever complain about MK's. he's a hard person to beat but he is not unbeatable.

 

[Shadocat]

Host more tournies in MD/VA so SoVA can come down more often...

Considering that i live in SoVA.............THIS PLEASE!!!!

I hate to never be able to attend tournies because there arent any nearby and the lack of transportation.

If you guys could make it down it would be lovely.
