Smash Master
I believe the first healthy step towards making Brawl a more competitive (and less annoying) game is to completely ban Metaknight from tournaments.
The character is just broken beyond belief. His attacks all have virtually no lag and he cannot be punished for spamming moves such as tornado, up b, d smash, d tilt. All his other moves are impossible to punish if the Metaknight knows what he's doing and spaces/camps correctly.
I'm not saying it's not possible to actually beat a Metknight using another character, it's just very hard, especially if you aren't using Snake. Some argue that he counters MK, but what about the other characters in the game? What if you don't want to use Snake?
Broken characters have been banned in other competitive fighters because they have an unfair, and almost unreal, advantage over the rest of the cast. So why don't we all step up and remove this abomination to smash? High level Brawl players (who will not be named) have already shown MK's potential for ledge camping/stalling. Luigi's Mansion is banned in MD/VA because a certain MK player ran the timer on three different people on that stage at Critical Hit 3.
There is nothing you can do against a MK who stalls the match. You can't approach him without being severly punished (because Brawl's mechanics give an advantage to the defender) and you can't just sit there as time runs out and you lose the match. You also can't spam projectiles against a ledge camper, MK is ridiculous on the ledge with his up b.
Mk's up b is also the most broken recovery in the game. You cannot successfully gimp a good MK. Ever try to gimp M2k when he's off the stage? He'll up b the moment you get near him and you'll fly in the opposite direction and die. The up kills at ridiculously low percents. If he catches you with one of those off the stage you're pretty much dead.
People argue that Snake is even more broken and should be banned as well. Snakes don't really give me problems, maybe it's because I main Diddy. Against Snake you just need to gimp him at every chance you get and shield A LOT. He's also very slow, I'd like to see a Snake run away for 7 minutes and win. It won't happen.
I'm certain there are others who feel this way, we need to voice our opinions to make this game a more fair and balanced competitive fighter. Brawl will never be balanced, but this will begin to level the playing field.
