Meta Knight Officially Banned!

[Rubbish]

It's funny because the Unity Rule Committee's (lol) only reason for banning him is because he wins a lot.

His dominance is ridiculous. It's on an entirely different level from pika/fox of 64/melee.

 

[stingers]

Yeah, that's cool and all, but Nietono constantly beats every MK in Japan and they have more Olimar experience than the US MKs.

japan mks are WAY worse than us mks though, lol.

Smashboards just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about fighting culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in competitive racing gaming (like Mario Kart) where you can become successful by being an *******. If you screw someone over in the fighting community, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the general brawl players, after hearing about this, is not going to want to participate in thisr tournament, nor will they support Smashboards. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Smashboards has alienated an entire league of competitive fighting gamers with this move.

Smashboards, publicly apologize and re-instate Metaknight or you can kiss your forum goodbye.

Also, smashballs take skill to use properly - they shouldn't be banned.

Lol. Sponge is mad, don't listen to him.

Um... what?

First of all I'd be very interested to see your professional degree in Fighting Culture. Secondly, this forum is going to remain active and well-used regardless of how some of the community may feel about this decision, I don't know where you get the idea that a forum with over a hundred thousand members is just suddenly going to die.

And the community voted 75% in favor of a ban on Meta Knight... I think that gives the general idea that it won't be received negatively by most.

 

[AllyKnight]

Yeah Japan's mk are worst lol. It's w-e GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.

 

[Krystedez]

TRUTH!

Ally's gonna win Apex.

Alright well, now I feel like an idiot for taking your last post seriously, lol.

 

[Roneblaster]

Taking away stages is a bad idea and why they didnt do it.

The first thing that comes to mind was when professional golf tried to "tiger proof" courses. All it did was make tiger more dominant cause no1 but tiger could traverse the even harder courses. The same applies herr, MK is so far away the best character that attempting to alter rules for him effects others more than MK.

Brawl is a terrible competitive fighting game.

 

[Black Mantis]

Seriously we all know that American MK's>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Japanese Mk's

thas cool i beat dabuz everytime we have played 6-0 :I i want him in my pool/bracket if i go lol i aint gonna do dumb **** like the *** mks

 

[Chuee]

japan mks are WAY worse than us mks though, lol.

lmfao, the only Japanese MK that even attended one of our tournies was Rain. and he took out our best Marth, who hardly ever loses to MK, with ease. Though he did SD a lot.

 

[Deleted member]

Ally's gonna win Apex.

I'm really excited to see what characters he and other top MKs start using.

 

[Mr-R]

inb4 ally wins everything

 

[Divinokage]

Why you guys trying to ****talk Japan when they are ****ing leet players? lol.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Can't wait for cocky americans to get their dumb ***** ***** by Nietono.

 

[Chuee]

thas cool i beat dabuz everytime we have played 6-0 :I i want him in my pool/bracket if i go lol i aint gonna do dumb **** like the *** mks

lmao at US saying Japan's MKs suck.

 

[Krystedez]

japan's mks suck.

not japan.

derp.

but yea its all good, I think it's mostly lack of mu experience. Rain's Falco was super good. His MK? It was like a baby Clel. (Clel was some MK main I didnt know anything about and he nearly took me out first round back at SiiS5 I think)

 

[Exce L]

Yeah, that's cool and all, but Nietono constantly beats every MK in Japan and they have more Olimar experience than the US MKs.

Japan MKs suck.

Let me reiterate something Ally stated:

Nietono has to win Apex with AMERICAN MKs still in. So lol.

 

[SpongeJordan]

I'm not mad, I was always indifferent to the ban. I won't lie, I pocket MK like everyone else.

BUT THINK ABOUT WHY. Don't compare it to 64 or Melee, compare it to the fighting game community as a whole. That's why Smash is so segregated against, they seem to be in their own little world when its not vastly different than other FGs.

You're banning MK because his moveset is powerful. However, there are people capable of overcoming that with practice. You could be educating yourself and saying your reason to ban him is his capability to indefinitely run away without a chance of taking damage, but you insist on whining about how good his moveset is.

Anyways, work time! PZ!

 

[Alex Strife]

IMO I know the URC group and I feel, though the right idea to help is good, I feel that the TOs in that backroom are mostly way too inexperienced to make decisions about this game.

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

Can't wait for cocky americans to get their dumb ***** ***** by Nietono.

Quoting this for my sig for when you're wrong

 

[TheCubeStud]

We aren't trying to overstep our boundaries. We can't make the policy for your country, but you can look at the results of our decision and come to your own choice.

That is the most ironic and hilarious statement I think I've ever seen. I can't believe a member of The Empire actually posted that. Too good.

 

[stingers]

US has the best MKs, that is why other regions think we're silly. they dont actually know what they're talking about >.>

edit: they weren't smart enough to copy m2k in 2008 like everyone else, so they fell way behind. that is the reason why =p

Like I said before, mods are gonna be moderating this thread strictly given the circumstances of this topic. Posts like these are irrelevant to MK, banning, and the URC, so refrain from making them, unless you want to get infracted.

 

[Shanadeus]

What the heck are you even talking about.

Mark my words.

 

[-Jumpman-]

So like... 20% of the people used MK? not that much tbh

 

[Nairo]

they arent better than us thats 4 sure lol also adhd is gonna become more **** since he only loses to m2k and anti

They will gain knowledge after Apex.

 

[fkacyan]

Everyone who is complaining really needs to do their research.

Peach main, nothing to see here, move along.

@AZ: What tourneys you host has absolutely no correlation with your ability to correctly balance a game. If you actually think it does you're absolutely stupid.

 

[Juggleguy]

Posted in the first 5 pages of an historic Smash announcement thread. I'll take it.

 

[Chuee]

japan's mks suck.

not japan.

derp.

Um, I never said Japan, I watch basically all the Japanese videos. I follow all of their results. Saying their MKs sucks is completely stupid and arrogant.
Also agreeing with Gheb, can't wait to see america get ***** by Nietono.

[waldorf2007]

Glad MK's finally gone (from most things). I doubt that there will be much more character variety, just a stream of diddies, falcos, snakes, maybe DDD? pretty much a ton just coming in. but i don't give a **** because watching all of those characters play is super fun.

 

[Zano]

**** Exce L, get *****

 

[stingers]

also alex, idk why you keep calling all the members of the BBR-RC inexperienced when you're quite possibly the most inexperienced of them all. obv not in TOing, but in terms of playing the game (which is what im assuming you're talking about), 14 minds are better than 1.

ppl keep saying that the bbr-rc is biased or w/e, but everyone saying that's biased too. we're all ****ing biased. don't be silly. I'd expect those guys to be less biased than the rest of y'all simply because they have to rationally debate amongst themselves rather than ****storm all over smashboards like most people do, lol
