It requires you to be more skilled rather than relying on an advantage. How is that bannable?
because we have it set up so that if you lose you should be able to get an advantage on your opponent. MK prevents this in all forms.

it's the way smash has always worked.

Prove me wrong. What's ban-able about MK?
"ban-able"

MK doesn't have winning matchups on everyone. He has a lot of even ones.
No he doesn't.

If you're getting this information solely from the BBR MU chart then you really need to re-evaluate your arguments.

You know....even. A matchup that requires you to be more skilled than your opponent.
....Are you kidding me?
Not even going to bother with this one.

MK isn't an autowin versus anyone above mid/high tier.
The argument is practically writing itself.


TL;DR You have no idea what you're talking about.

So don't lose the first game. You lost so you're suppose to be down. We're not suppose to be computers in Mario Kart. We don't get speed boosts because we're way behind.

Characters haven't been banned in Smash. It's the way Smash has always worked.

Again just like all of the other pro-ban people, Spelt has proven they have no factual argument for why MK needs to be banned. They just shut down everyone else says and insults them to the point where other idiots jump on his **** because they don't know what to believe themselves.

Yeah and none of them have proven MK to have anything banworthy to his name (in my opinion).
That's what it comes down to. Your convinced otherwise. Many others are convinced of the opposite. You reject the reasons people have put forth, others see them as legitimate reasons.

It also comes back to what constitutes as a bannable character. Everyone has their own definition of where you draw the line. It just so happens there seems to be in flux of many people agreeing that we can draw that line now instead of earlier in brawls lifespan.

characters weren't banned before in smash because no character before has truly proved to be this big a problem.

I love the putting words into my mouth part. That's adorable.

Each game should counterpick them due to their styles and to stages they were comfortable to play on, not simply because character A has an advantage on character B.

Pikachu in Smash 64 has an advantage over every other character in the game. Not banned.

Jigglypuff won more national tournaments in a row than MK has. Not banned.

Pikachu doesn't fly, have descending priority, and can't Uair 3 times per jump without losing altitude. Also can't CP to stages that move and time out. Can't really compare 64 Pikachu to MK. Ever. Plus. MK doesn't have a ****ing party hat.

You haven't given any concrete facts to why MK should stay legal.

Most of what you say is blatantly incorrect, "MK has even matchups."

M2K would probably even disagree with that statement currently, and we all know how biased he is when it comes to MK's matchups.

It's obvious you've done absolutely no research on this subject and all of your arguments come from the "let's play the game the way we bought it" mentality.

You are in no position to criticize anyone's arguments.
At all.

Pikachu can combo people to side death and gets free recoveries due to the mechanics of his up B on nearly the whole cast. He also has the safest approaches, easiest initiators into combos, and combos to death or at least 70%(100% is usually death.) Pikachu's up air and fsmash (both ridiculous spacing tools and edge-guarding tools) have transcendent priority.

Pikachu's party hat is stylish. Don't hate.

You didn't bring anything up about why MK should be legal yet you related a quote with Mario Kart?

You're... what? Why are you comparing 64? Everyone in that god damn game can combo like a master. Pika just gets it easier. He's not like, increasing the gap of the S tier and A tier (or is Pika even IN S tier? LOL) like Meta is every year.

God... what a... useless argument... my... what... ugh.

I liked it better when people compared other Fighting games outside of smash, because it was entertaining. This is just... not even funny or right in the least.

Having to remove a playable character is gutting, or cutting if you prefer, a portion of the game for competitive play. Brawl has clearly gone far further than any previous Smash game. I understand what you are trying to do here, spin my words around to prove your point. The problem is it just does not logically add up like you are hoping for.
Do you understand that you're doing the exact same thing that the TO's are doing, actually? Making rules for the game to make it playable and balanced for all. It's only on a different level. The difference is that we did not create the game at all. So instead, we're taking what we have and running with it. Banning stuff is within their perfect legal rights for running the tournaments. As I said before, you can very easily run those kind of tournaments if you wish to. Nobody's stopping you. Go find a bunch of people and make an agreement. I hope it honestly turns out well for you.

If you want to make that claim, back it up. Tell me, what specific gameplay elements they are removing with Balenced Brawl that make it far worse than banning a character? I need details because you are making a very specific argument. If you actually find something, explain why that can not be changed back while keeping the rest of the positive changes. Good luck.
Let's start off then: Removing infinites. Infinites aren't removed in our regular gameplay, they're allowed. Next up are stages. Note how we're not changing the stages in any way for what we can do. Overall, we are not changing the gameplay elements whatsoever. Not in the same way you're thinking. The only thing we change is the mindset, not the coding in the game. People will play differently because they practice with different settings that can be easily set up. Any tournament can have different rules. Pretending that they don't exist is ridiculous. If you want changes, we put in changes. You're suggesting changes just as much we are.


If someone does not have access to at least a dial-up connection, cannot afford a $6 SD card and $3 reader, or doesn't have a computer with USB support, they probably should put that tournament travel money towards making rent instead.
Ah, this is my favorite one here: Let's presume everybody is allowed to order stuff online, oh, wait, they're not. You know some kids are taken to this huge tournies by adults, but wouldn't allow them to order stuff online, nor would they do that for them. Likewise, don't presume that everybody trusts ordering things online. They can come damaged. It's not guaranteed you can get this all quickly enough anyway. You know, when you order stuff, it takes time to get there.

Also, one more thing: You completely complain about TO's forcing a very specific gameplay style, where if they adopted Balanced Brawl, it'd be the same thing as is. It would be no different from the problem you with this oppression crap. You're doing the same thing to us, telling us we should only play one way. I very much honestly love the irony here.

All that matters is Pikachu has at least a 60-40 matchup vs every character in the game.

MK doesn't have that.

God... what a... useless argument... my... what... ugh.
Pika and Fox share S tier, though some some of the people who made the tier list admitted Fox should be in A tier, but it just looks nicer with him in S >.>

Anyway with 64, the tournament scene is practically non-existent for that, the skill gaps are much smaller, and the game is much better balanced overall.
Banning Pikachu would not help the game at all like banning MK would.

Transcendent. Tired. Also, Pikachu doesn't have three recovery moves, 4 frame-ish downsmash.

MK also have like 70+ -30 matchups. Including a 95 to 5 or something. Absurd.

And MK still has no party hat. Therefore, bannable.

Also the fact that a bunch of randoms, and players who haven't accomplished anything in this game were able to vote on this poll makes me uneasy on him being banned.

It shouldn't have to be "what makes him not ban-able?" That's like asking "Why is the defendant innocent?"

All of you who posted completely ignored my points and never gave me a legit reply to them that wasn't filled with insults and rage.


Transcendent priority is having a hitbox where you don't have a hurtbox. Pika's uair and fsmash do that.
