I get why people want to ban stages, I really do. You want the tourney scene to be all about skill,I get that. Some levels just give certain players more advantages than others, so they should get the axe. Ok, again, sounds great. For example, New Pork City should be banned because it gives projectile users a clear adavantage. Fine, but that seems a bit unfair that you don't want Link running around pelting you with his bombs and arrows from a distance, yet you have no problem fighting him on a small stage like Yoshi's Island, especially if your using a CQC character like Falco/fox(which takes away one of his key game concepts ;range). it just seems a bit biased, no offense.
My point is, why would it be ok to ban Hyrule?New Pork, where range characters can dominate,yet if I wanted a smaller stage banned because it gavie the Bowser advantage, I'd jsut be talking crazy. I don't know, its like competitive players just don't make sense to me. On one hand, you claim its to help "balance " the game, yet you want to remove balances that are already in place to help some characters.
Please, save the flaming,because it'll just make you look like an a**.
