Meta Knight Officially Banned!

[Alex Strife]

I can answer the latter one: They're actual TOs lol

I'm really curious to see Europe's results at Apex now. I think all 3 parties involved (USA, Europe, Japan) are in for a surprise.

MK is banned after Apex. It would not make any sense to ban him at Apex with Japanese players and such who play MK

 

[fkacyan]

Right decision made for mostly incorrect reasons and announced at a poor time by an extremely biased committee.

 

[Budget Player Cadet_]

No, but I doubt they would agree with our decision.
They have no problems with MK at all.

Yeah, see, this is why. Germany gets, at the moment, all its information from the USA because nobody knows what the **** Japan is doing. This has to change. Pronto.

 

[-LzR-]

Could be worse, we could be scrubby TOs who ban **** for no reason lol.

You seriously saying MK was banned for absolutely no reason? It has been a big subject for the last 3 years and will be a big step towards a better metagame.

 

[Juushichi]

Learn to speak Japanese, BPC.

 

[shaSLAM]

lol@this community
if this backfires is there going to be an unban?

lol even more at this community if it backfires.

Europe has no reason to ban MK. Europe never had a reason to ban MK.

 

[Jimmyfosho]

one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

 

[WindMajor]

MK isn't banned in Europe, bro.

 

[Spelt]

Different high tiers will lead to different mid tier counters will lead to pickles and cream cheese on your sandwiches.

Get ready guys.

Sigging this.

That's kinda how I feel.

 

[Juushichi]

Europe has no reason to ban MK. Europe never had MK.

This sounds about right.

Man, I always agree with you.

They have a website
smashbros.org i think, though it's in Japanese and I don't know how it works

 

[FoxFireMage]

Thank you URC!!! Until after Apex its STILL optional, just glad that soon I don't have to deal with it

 

[Nysyarc]

Questions to the URC: Is anyone from the URC going to give some reasoning as to this decision (did you deem he was broken? purely to make some players happy?)? What gives the URC the power to ban a character?

As far as I understand, the URC is comprised mainly (if not totally) of national-scale and well-respected tournament hosts. They have as much right to say MK is banned at their tournaments as any host has to make any rule change. What gave them the power to make a stagelist the way they did? Same question essentially.

Answer: They are hosting the tournaments.

Brawl is a game. The character is the problem. Not the players.
That means it doesn't matter when you play he still is bannable. You just have to do it later then I guess.

Can we break this?

 

[-Ran]

What works in one metagame, won't always be the answer in another. We strongly encourage others to apply as much effort and diligence that we applied during our decision. We aren't asking other nations to emulate us; this is what we have determined will be the best course for the US/Canada metagame.

Just out of curiosity, who were the 15 people that voted ?

Yes, we Europeans would like to know. Any good players?

As far as national-scale and well-respected I'd have to pull the mulligan there.

Too bad it hardly benefits you

I voted yes to the ban. I also used MK as a secondary/ for the ditto/ teams.

this.

more peach/ROB/lucario/whatever means i can use my main more because even if it theoretically means more D3 no one plays D3 so no prob :3

I PROPOSE EVERYONE WHO NEVER BOTHERED PICKING UP A POCKET MK ALL HAVE A CELEBRATORY TOAST

CHEERS

 

[leatherhead93]

This will certainly be interesting.

To kinda honest wish DDD was banned instead. And he's likely to show up more often at this rate

 

[Flayl]

You misunderstood. I want to see how USA MK's and the two other regions compare.

Can you give me the full name list ?

....are you serious?

 

[suinoko/Jade Stern]

NO NO WAY

Why dont americans restrict ****ing stages?
before banning Character which restricts the players' action , you should ban stages whitch are TOO GOOD for MK
Current rulesets have advantages for Mk players too much, so you should change rulesets.

I talk about this at twitter, MANY Japanese players agreed my opinion.

no way

 

[Mikachiru]

This is a grand day indeed... :3
