Why exactly are you collecting videos of that? To show how it is done properly/how other people have used it in tournament, to show how powerful/weak it is, etc?

I think that pretty much sums it up. I'm sure lots of people would be interested in seeing videos of planking in action. I'm personally interested in how it's done properly, and how often/effectively it is used in tournament.

Well I just made up a thread on why MK's planking is broken/how powerful it is and how it works. Might do one for G&W and Pit.

You grab and let go of the ledge repeatedly in order to abuse the invincibility frames; some characters can attack while doing it, making it more effective.

Surely there are more planking videos? There is so much complaining about planking, you would think there would be more videos than this. *tries to inspire pro-ban to find me some videos!*

Honestly, the ones up there aren't very good. Plank almost lost to sk92. Fiction got gimped very early, and he didn't try throwing tires. And Red Halberd is very bad at planking on Norfair lol.

These videos are all very old too.

See the stupid thing about that is that when I was planking I was doing a lot worse than otherwise I had a 3 stock to 2 lead cuz of a lucky gimp and then I tried to plank and started losing and then went down to 1 stock to 2 and then when I finally fought aggressively I came back and got a kill then a good 40 damage lead when there was less than a minute left then didn't even stay on the edge much cuz I torandoed back on and fought with dairs and other stuff for a bit to hold my lead last minute which I got by fighting. The example where I "scrooged" meep to win went to last stock 80% (him) to 2 stock 60% (me) when the match ended and it was onlt 7 minute timer then next game I 2 stock low %ed him by fighting normally. The reason I want planking banned is cuz the game "evolving" in that way is stupid and should be avoided

I just watched it. He didn't do much planking at all. He just air camped (and took loads of damage lol). It's not a very good example of planking. Do you think I should put it up there anyway?



I can't find that video.

Yeah he doesnt plank alot in the video, just a lot of "stalling" type maneuvers...if only scrooging didnt take so much time of the clock, ugh, bad memories.

I just added this one. SCOTU (Red MK) vs Epic (Blue MK)

When MK was planking, they didn't even try to approach very often.
Is it just me, or is planking really bad in the MK ditto? MK can steal the ledge very quickly and attack with invincible Dairs and Nairs. He can SL out of shield and hit below the stage. And he can just run off the ledge and Dair VERY quickly.

I will only say this once...

U dont see to realize the concentration it takes to TRAP a chr. that has 5 jumps, a glide, and 3 different recovery options. Its ****ing hard, and after 7/8 minutes its pretty simple to say that u get drained. The times where i gave u damage were not when u went defensive but when tried STUPID options like standing next to me waiting for me to roll or u using poorly spaced dairs right over my head. The match was over until u started playing bad, until the end where u actually took advantage of your chrs. ridiculous juggling and racked enough damage to runout the timer.

Actually, M2K, you took very little damage when you were camping in the match. 90% of the damage you took was when you approached (usually with stupid tornados).

Gnes did get gimped at zero, and still almost come back and beat the best MK in the world though. I've just come to accept that brawl is a campy game. Whoever has the burden of approach is at a disadvantage.

If M2K would have died early instead of M2K, it would have been the same situation in reverse. Diddy would have been banana camping on the stage. Granted, it looks gayer when a character air camps instead of camps on the stage, but it's just as hard to "trap" a camping diddy. I don't think either of you realize how hard your character is to approach lol.

Diddy actually has some noticeable holes in his "Banana" wall. Tossing a Banana is a LOT slower than most people think.

to trap a character? There is no risk for you taking damage, you can shoot infinite peanuts and block if I get near you at all with the risk/reward being heavily in your favor if you just sit there and block w/ a banana in front of you

Yes, but realize in reference to the match, U had no reason to get near me because U HAD THE LEAD. So with that said my only ways of safely hitting u is with peanuts which has the lowest priority in the game and has a hurtbox(i think thats what its called). Then i have two naners...items that u can catch simply with a airdodge or aerial AND use against me if they land near u.

Once again in reference to the match, it shouldn't have been that close at all. The second i loss my first stock, the match was essentially over, considering u loss the need to approach me at all.

If M2K wouldn't have approached at all, you would have had 7 min to rack up 120% with peanuts, bananas, traps, and then try to land a Fair. It's entirely possible to avoid 120% and a Fair with MK. But why take the risk if you have a stock lead? You would probably be better off playing aggressive and trying to take off those 2 stocks with your 3.

I agree that if MK gets a lead like that and camps decently well, then it's game over for Diddy. But if this is a "ban MK" argument, then Wario and other characters could do the same thing. Brawl is a campy game. There is no "come back" from an early gimp like there is in melee.
