[Tee ay eye]

You got a good car for collateral?

I can make **** happen if you do.

 

[GamerGuitarist7]

hey bryan, yes i'll do doubles with you. sorry i didn't respond to the text, i was playing with jackie

 

[In2D]

Lamersucktarist7 and I shall win doubles! Yes thats right ls7 and I.

 

[maXXXpower]

Sean, be in Phoenix Tuesday afternoon/night, please. We've settled on leaving early Wednesday; more on this soon.

 

[lockdown7]

I am going to have some people over to play brawl tomorrow at my house in gilbert. If anyone else would like to come, just hit me up for directions.

ATTENTION ARIZONA:

META KNIGHT IS NOW BROKEN

That is all.

 

[AltF4]

Wow... that's pretty broken, K.

Obviously the stalling part of it will not be allowed, but just as a tactical move? That's ridiculous. MK can essentially make himself invincible whenever he wants, for how long he wants.

Dumb.

 

[maXXXpower]

Bantastic. Is all I have to say.

07/14/2008; The day Metaknight became a god.

 

[KosukeKGA]

Yes. Dumb, indeed.

Though, some say they'll try to enforce a rule of whether it will be stalling or just for spacing methods... It actually is pretty hard to do over 10 seconds. It puts strain on your hands.

They say it won't be banned at FAST1. IMO, a technique should only be banned once it has been proven to be broken in a tourney setting.

 

[sLicK.tdf]

hehe, i got all the way across and back on FD :D

 

[KosukeKGA]

Exactly ^

Now that I think about it, I call for an all out ban.

 

[maXXXpower]

At least until more is discovered about it. I'm going to ban it at WitMB?BBWTS:B until further notice.

 

[sLicK.tdf]

it depends on the usage, i agree if someone uses it to stall a match. but in terms of using it to escape a bad position or spacing, i dont see a reason to ban it.

 

[KosukeKGA]

Good call.

Brawl is already totally unbalanced as is...

Peter, I agree with your standing point but some may actually start abusing that factor if so. <_<;

 

[maXXXpower]

I really want to give this a chance, so we'll see what the possibilities of this tactic are. If they aren't too broken, I don't see why it should be banned.

But right now, I can foresee this thing breaking some ****.

 

[sLicK.tdf]

well as with all stall tactics, its up to the judge/tournament runner. floating under a stage to get away from a bad situation seems no different in my eyes then using this to escape. people abusing this to stall, thats why we have judges and people watching matches for

 

[In2D]

Well floating under the stage seems a bit different to me, since you can still get hit while under there is someone wanted to chase you.

But with this, you can get away from your opponent without getting hit, or even having the chance to get hit.

You make a good point. But there are some things that mitigate the action of going under the stage. You can still be hit if you are under the stage, however, I'm not sure that is the case with the infinite cape thingy for mk.

 

[Demised]

They deleted the vid. I wanna know whats so broken =/

...........................

Im speechless. How do you do that?

 

[KosukeKGA]

ここで、それはそうです。

[AltF4]

Don't be so quick to ban. Give it a real and honest play testing.

But obviously the stalling portion of it shouldn't be allowed. Just as with any stalling technique.

 

[sLicK.tdf]

yeah, like i said before, this is why we have judges. to determine if someone is abusing it in a manner that can disrupt the game flow.

 

[lockdown7]

I was able to do it for 30 seconds. That **** is just silly. Slick just wants it in because he uses metaknight. Don't be swayed by him.

 

[Vat- Zero]

You new guys are all noobs. This isn't gonna be banned, its a strategy. It looks like stalling to me, but isn't broken . I bet a tag can fix it, right? like sheiks recovery. what ever it is, it can't win a game as effectively as actually being skilled. Its cheap, but skill beats cheap. man-up cry babies. Wa wa wa ;( please don't complain when someone finds wave dashing and L- canceling in brawl. brawl has never been balanced or fair. brawl is weird, get used to it.

 

[Vat- Zero]

should it be banned? Who knows. Can it be stopped? maybe. Is it skill? Hell no. Is Brawl weird? yes. Is it gonna change? no.

 

[Sinz]

How canwe police this for stalling though? We can't limit it by number of moves. Do we have to stand by the MKs tv and have a stopwatch?

 

[Vat- Zero]

Perhaps we should put an electric current running through the controller and if the player exceeds 30 seconds of stalling the shock will put him in cardioid arrest, thus making them not physically eligible in completing the tournament. Problem solved...

Are you sure?

Tai won't pick up his phone.

EDIT: He also said in our AIM conversation that Yamer was actually going... If anything, I'd like to know why. Thanks.

 

[Dastrn]

I'm going to be in Phoenix next week from the 21st - 25th. Anyone want to host an out-of-towner for a smashfest? I'm not sure exactly when I'll be free, but I can post here or in PM's or something to let you all know.
