Meta Knight Officially Banned!

[Ripple]

ITT: people agreeing but still writing huge walls of text

 

[Dre89]

I agree. I dont think MK needs to be proven unbeatable/broken in tournament to be bannable. I guess someone intent on maintaining the games integrity over the community might do so, but I think drawing the line on bannability in terms of how it will affect the community is fine (at least in this specific case).

I think what bothers anti-ban more at this point is many people seem unwilling to acknowledge that this was a decision reached based on community opinion. Theyre so averse to the idea, that they start inventing BS reasons for why MK needed to be banned to make the decision seem objective when at most there exists only one under specific parameters and in theory.

Can't really quantify how many there are, but its not hard to tell who they are.

What evidence do you have that the reasons why the community wanted him bad weren't the good reasons people like DMG have brought up?

 

[Supermodel From Paris]

This was a decision made based on community opinion.

Will you shut up now?

 

[NinjaFoxX]

lol this is still going?

 

[Tristan_win]

~sighs~ Reading that meta knight is finally getting banned makes me kinda sad....

It makes me sad because I remember how much I absolutely loved this game and how much that would mean to me back then but now... It means very little to me.

I hate getting older.

 

[infiniteV115]

Then stop getting older.

 

[zmx]

Then stop getting older.

My mind. It has been blown.

 

[Jeremyt_01]

That's very interesting! Although I've never been to a tournament, I would say that will change the game drastically. I'm kinda glad he's banned, and then I'm not. Now I will never get the chance to mentally defeat my Meta Knight opponent!

 

[Strong Badam]

11%
so overcentralized~

URC: Can you hurry up and ban Brinstar and RC now that you've banned MK? I'm sick of having to play on those bull**** stages even after their purpose has been served.

 

[Nidtendofreak]

They're being smart and waiting for the bad players to realize Brinstar and RC are legit stages, so they can finally add in the rest of the legit stages that whiny regions b'aaaaaaaw about.

 

[Tommy_G]

Jungle Japes? :3 Please, oh please bring back Jungle Japes.

 

[Juushichi]

I want to see Pika vs Falco on Japes just so average Falco players can continue to get exposed even when they think they're broken on the stage.

Pika vs. Falco makes Falco players get exposed on any level.

who the **** are you

 

[Nidtendofreak]

Somebody who is calling it like it is. Been doing it for quite a long time now actually. Don't know where you've been since Brawl's release: I spend a lot of time in the tactical boards. Not as much as I used to, but I'm still around.

 

[Jack Kieser]

Oh, Niddo, you troll. In all seriousness, though, I doubt the URC is going to add in legit stages like Japes or Norfair; they, by their own admission, operate on a policy of pandering (whether for good or ill), so if players don't say they want those stages, they won't get in. The stage list, I predict, will only get more restrictive as time goes on.

 

[Tommy_G]

No items, Fox only, Final Destination?

 

[Jack Kieser]

Honestly, yeah. Probably not to that facetious extent, but I'm guessing American Brawl will one day reach the point where its stage list is "FD, BF, SV" and everything else is just "too gay", "interferes with PvP too much", or whatever other BS reasons people invent to keep stages like Japes out of the legal list. Ok, so maybe they'll keep in a PS or possibly Delfino, but just to keep a 5 stage starter list and to keep the number odd, as if the number of legal stages == 5 is somehow the most important part of the stage list.

Yeah, I was over-exaggerating.

 

[Life]

No items Diddy only FD? It's more likely than you think.

I'm not as pessimistic as Kieser though. As long as there's one TO who's not an idiot, we'll continue to see at least Unity-level stage diversity somewhere (maybe not a full-out 20+ list, but better than nothing).

Being a part of Stage Rage feels like being an Ayn Rand protagonist, LOL

 

[Kole]

I go on SWF after almost a year and I must say, I am surprised

 

[Chuee]

Japes

how about no

 

[Ghostbone]

But BF and SV's platforms get in the way.
Obvious ban.

 

[Ussi]

But banning SV is banning Europe's metagame!

 

[da K.I.D.]

Kinda late, but lol at Niddo arguing with the melee version of himself.

Bad example; nobody except crazy people likes Ayn Ran–ohh....

That would be France.

 

[Espy Rose]

I want my PictoChat back.

Wat, but you're just like Howard Roark :O

 

[NickRiddle]

Of course you want your invincibility back... but you cannot have it.

 

[Budget Player Cadet_]

Wat, but you're just like Howard Roark :O

I don't even know who that is.

 

[Tommy_G]

Why don't we...now don't kill me before you actually consider this idea.

Why don't we...as a community....create balanced but differentiated stages in stage builder to be set as standard for tournaments? Some that are relatively simple and easy to recreate.

 

[SxK]

M2K and Kismet played on Distant Planet and Spear Pillar for Winners Finals. Granted, both play MK but still.



Seems Legit.

It's been discussed and Overswarm headed a BBR project to try to start doing just that. It fell out of favor, AFAIK, as it would be somewhat difficult to standardize it all. Players would have to be members on SWF in order to know about them which isn't that good for getting new players to join the scene. Additionally, I think some of the pieces are glitchy.
Again, all AFAIK so don't quote me.

There's nothing wrong with DP, imo. Spear Pillar on the other hand... yeah no.

 

[Budget Player Cadet_]

There's nothing wrong with DP.

Yes, you would know...

 

[Espy Rose]

Just JAB IT PEOPLE.
Just JAB IT. PROBLEM SOLVED.

I just really like the stage itself. My favorite stage in the game.

 

[C.J.]

True, that was a subjective statement. Edited to reflect such.

 

[NickRiddle]

Espy, I don't have a problem with it. I know if you clash with it's hitbox you stop it. I was just throwing out the argument first.

 

[Espy Rose]

Wait...I'm not being serious guys...
