Its not banned for being an overpowered technique. Its banned due to the risk of MKs stalling out matches.
I see what you're saying but still---that brings me back to what I said about it being difficult to maintain. I reeaaally wanna see someone wiggle their thumb at the speed of light for more than a minute... I personally dont find this technique to be a very good stalling technique; if anything his shuttle loop or dimension cape on the edge spam are really good for stalling. If i ever do manage to learn to use MIDcape for more than like 2 seconds I'd just use it for mindgames; disappear for a few seconds then pop out somewhere else and rush.
Some1 here said they held it over a minute (though no videos were ever produced).
the camera still gets closer and further depemding on how close you are to your oppnent so it might not be that useful for rushing but idk
or they could just put up a shield whenever the camera closes in, and then your forced to either come out of the cape and not hit them, or to run away and be back in the same position, and probably have all your friends hate you for abusing such a gay tactic.
Which is why the technique was banned under smash back room's official ruleset.
Ease of use is not a ban criteria.
I've held it for two (straight), which I mentioned before. Unfortunately, I lack a video recorder, I'm sure I can show it off at any locals where it's legal though.
uhhhh.... read the backlog, it doesn't work because MK can maintain it infinitely, and the lag for any defensive manuever can be punished. You better hope to God that you decide to do whatever defensive maneuver you're doing at the same time as MK decides to attack, because if you plan on doing it too late it doesn't matter, and if you plan on doing it too early he punishes the lag.
..........any1?
Please don't compare chaingrabbing and projectile spamming to the IDC. The IDC is on a completely different level for reasons explained in earlier posts.
lol
its banned...for a good reason too
Not a truly good reason IMO. But a reason nonetheless.
Not a good reason? He's completely invincible and invisible for as long as he wants to be. Are you stupid? That makes NO sense and doesn't belong in a fighting game.
I wanted a video match or something to be put in before it became banned. This was banned on the stalling alone, but I wanted to see if it was still broken even without the stalling.
I already explained the only way that this ruling will get reexamined.
So create the ruleset, please. And then it can get tournament exposure as an approach. If you can't create one that fulfills this criteria... there's no way an infinite stall can be left unbanned. Period.
Every1 ignored it.
Elaborate.
I want this to be PROVEN broken as an approach. All stalling is proven broken, but as an approach, this hasn't been proven. *sigh*
How is an invincible AND invisible approach NOT broken.
If all MK users are going to do is IDC, come out with the attack, and repeat, they are going to run out the clock. Stalling matches is why this was banned by the SBR.
They don't have to attack out of it, they can land near the edge of the stage to prevent the lag after they appear, or they could just land plain next to you. You can't hit what you can't see, or if its invincible.
Those aren't neccessarilly broken uses. Or specificly, they haven't been proven broken.
Like I said, that's not proven as a broken mechanic in competitive play. Really, this tech kinda gave a practical use for MKs Down-B. Without it, their's not much reason to use it other then maybe getting back onto the stage against a REALLY good edgeguarder.
Breaks criteria 2.
May? Will or it's fuzzy.
