Wow... a smash ban. This is insane, but it was inevitable. It probably would not have happened if there was a pool of N characters dominating the top like there were in Melee, but a lone wolf causes a meta black hole. I approve. :)

Those rules are the recommended rules for MK if a Unity Tournament decides to run a MK allowed tournament prior to Jan 9th.
"In the event of running a Meta Knight Legal event, the following MUST be used:

Reread it, that's not a recommendation, that's a demand

The whole ruleset is a recommendation, if you are to follow the Unity Ruleset AND use metaknight then you MUST include those rules for it to be considered Unite Ruleset/

That's because the MK ban is optional for now, so someone can either run a MK legal Unity event, or MK banned unity event.

So what if a tournament organizer decides to apply the Unity Ruleset after January ninth and allows Meta Knight's use during their events?

I guess we can give up on Brawl then.

Time for everyone to move to Melee/Project M.

Sirlin said a lot of wrong things. One of them, however, isn't wrong. A character in a fighter should only be banned if the quality of the fighting game is so high that the game is worth saving.

Brawl is not one of those games.
NEG REPPPPPPPPP Y U NO WORK

I thought noobs in the melee community were bad, but the Brawl community sets new standards.

Is that the best you could come up with?

Also I'm not dating him anymore, and calling me a weeaboo isn't insulting me btw.

Try again bro?
lol

And moderators spamming censorship as much as possible....god, american community is so liberal and silly.

Like I said I think the game has , depth wise, not much to offer cause of its simplicity. I think forcing people is not always going to work. It makes things a lot worst. That is just beyond the MK ban thing though.

if you can't even understand that then you're terribly unqualified to make a decision regarding the mk ban yourself...

It is easy to pick up but I am talking about advancing the metagame. We may find a few new things but other than match-ups being fleshed out ( if we are lucky ) not much can happen.

I never said I was qualified stingers I just disagree with the ban. Ultimately it is not up to me but I feel like I should question everything that we do cause we need to be better in general.

Who is going to stop them from doing whatever they want? The Brawl police? lol

This community and game is far too un-sanctioned for anything to really official to happen lol
The Unity Ruleset is the Unity Ruleset. You don't have to use it, just like how you don't have to run an 8 minute timer or allow Brinstar. The only big deal is on standardization of rules around the country, which is something URC is attempting to achieve.

Sometimes Strife I wonder if you play Brawl. This is a short sighted comment.

You'd think with over 415 people viewing the thread there'd be less bull****ty posts.

I still find it hilarious that 13 people(Some of which I've never heard of) think they have the right to dictate what's right for the future of our community.

San was also right with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect
Uh oh! You're going to be a random again! :awesome:

And you're hating way too much on the URC. T-Block on there is pretty legit, he almost beat me this one time! :D

but that's just not true.
for example just yesterday I found a new way to use ROBs bair out of up-b that helps me be safer on shields while approaching.

the only limits you'll find are the ones you set for yourself. brawl is not so simplistic a game that we've already found out everything, don't be so vain...

I know this is a separate discussion, but the brawl players posting melee videos of brilliant unorthodox defensive play are kind of missing the point entirely
