Meta Knight Officially Banned!

[Doc King]

Brawl is more balanced.

Come at me bro. This is an '06er talking.

Well to think of it. imo, Melee is just a more better metagame developer than Brawl is as of now. This means characters such as Jigglypuff can actually become viable and it changes throughout time, giving characters their chance. I mean look at Armada having to play Young Link to counter Jigglypuff and Taj actually being able to get into the winners finals with Mewtwo.

All of the characters can do some cool combos and stuff. Some of the Brawl low tiers can't combo (For the most part).

Idk how any of you are able to call these verdicts without even letting the MK-less metagame develop -____-

I never liked tripping. So if this was taken out, it would be much better.

I never liked tripping. So if this was taken out, it would be much better.

True story. But that's all because Sakurai is so annoying. In the Melee instruction booklet it says "Customize! There Are Many Ways to Play!", and I think our way is the competitive game. I'm kinda anxious for knowing if he'll screw the next Super Smash Bros. game because of his "hate" for tournaments.

So, as for MK's ban, I totally approve the idea. I know I'm not the best Brawler out there, but we all know how broken he actually is. Of course it's not impossible to win a match agaisnt him, but it's totally stressful. He's fast, has the best recoveries, kills early, has great follow-ups... everything someone would need. I know that mostly we would say "fear not the weapon, but the hand thats wields it...", but we're talking about the best weapon, in the hands of the best players... it's quite unfair. That's what I think.

 

[IYM!]

Irwyn, your words are full of truth, MK have no weakness, his worst match is even and is stupidly powerfull.

i cant see Brawl like a competitive game, but at least, the things gonna change positivetyl for the rest of the cast

and for those Mk mains out there, is time to work hard for be good.

If you can't see Brawl as a competitive game, what are you doing here? Get out.

Metaknight has no weaknesses? How about the fact that when you hit him he incurs % damage and dies when hit him too hard.

What am I reading?

 

[da K.I.D.]

This is a pretty hard one to decide, but I'm gonna have to go with Melee for most balanced. I mean characters that weren't so good before actually get to become completely viable characters (Puff, Falcon, Young Link). Also there aren't so many completely unbalanced matchups like Pika vs. Fox, Falco, Wolf, Falcon, Ganon, D3 vs. DK, Bowser, Ganon, Mario, PT, Marth vs. Ness and Lucas, DK vs. Ness and Lucas, Oli vs. Zelda and Ganon, etc.

melee shiek vs anybody below mario in the tier list is pretty much just as bad as all of those matches.

If I use random in a tourney game Do we just restart the game?

If you get Meta Knight, restart, yes. It was addressed quite a lot earlier in this thread.

I was totally gonna read 4500 hundred posts >_>

I read them all. Anyway, glad to answer.

Because you totally wanted to ask a stupid question.

"If I accidentally let go of some paper and it flies out of my window is it still littering or not?"

Ah fox players, always angry at the world

 

[Ghostbone]

The low and bottom tier for Brawl are not just proportionately smaller, but they are also just better characters. Lucas is much more viable than anyone in Melee DK and below or so (please don't start talking about how great DK is, I don't care).

I'm just going to say, when's the last time a mid/low tier was used seriously in a Bo5 set at a national/international in Brawl?

Young Link too good.

Didn't Anti go wolf in a set against Ally or something?

ban kirby and sonic then we can talk

I think my world just stop.... Did anyone else see this?

I was waiting for you to finally say something about it.

Now I can soundly laugh about it. I remember when there was a Lucas Perfected and a Lucas Infected (this one being the troll account).

LOL

Oh and to go on what BPC is saying, have people forgotten TKD, Zeton, and the such already?

Everyone makes fun of my name. It's cool. I'll give you props. That was pretty good.

 

[Conviction]

That wasn't me who made the account though, so idk who you're giving props. XD

 

[da K.I.D.]

its clearly a troll account directed at you specifically.

 

[8Bitman]

Meta Knight will be officially banned on January 9th, 2012.

..l....l..

 

[KirbyandSonicrock14]

I'm just going to ignore it. Even though I have an idea who it is. It's someone from my scene trying to be a ****.

Clearly. (BTW Love the image kid...is that sora + mew...? O.o)

-------------------
On topic - I agree with everyone else posting. Before we start RANTING AND RAVING, Let's give it a shot. 'Enjoy' or 'despise' the time we have left for MK viable tournies, then come Jan 2012, we give non MK brawl a chance....

you have no idea

 

[Thino]

If you can't even compare two games from the same series, there's almost nothing you can compare.

certainly not in a "Metaknight Ban" thread

Let's do this in a "Melee vs. Brawl" thread because it's pretty clear that Melee has no Metaknight.

 

[Anthon1996]

Well, MK is banned in both of them.

 

[John12346]

• For all Melee tournaments, use of the character Metaknight is banned.

See, the Melee community is obviously the better community. They knew to ban their broken character from the start.

 

[Black Mantis]

melee is a bad, outdated, unbalanced game

This is one of the greatest posts in this thread.

okay.. what the **** ?

[Llumys]

It's a shame the ban's not going to be mandatory until after December '11; we're not gonna be able to see an entire year of a Meta Knight-less meta-game evolve.

...wat.

Unless everybody magically stops playing Brawl after the ban, you most certainly will.

This is one of the greatest posts in this thread.

Come back into that "What it takes to be banned?" thread and debate with us again, Mantis. We'll be glad to set the record straight. Again.

Herp derp. Measure time; how do?!

Did you think to measure a year from that date...? XD

Did you think to measure a year's time from the date he was banned...? I mean, there's your whole year without MK right there. Doesn't have to be so literal.

Also, you're doing it wrong. Sheesh.

Oh, whoops. Now I get it. I have crappy reading comprehension this time of night. Well, gee gosh golly darn. Them's the breaks, tho'.

You could host your own MK banned tourneys starting now if you really wanted to. John Numbers'll prolly appreciate the data (and your enthusiasm).

Sorry bout that.

So you get it. 2012. Awesome.
