This wasn't put on AiB?

Wtf?

Cyanide, do it already plz.

*notices RC is banned*

*remember what happened in Inferno's thread*

Ready for it, Paradigm?

Unban RC.
Rainbow Cruise is being taken out for experimentation purposes and won't be on the stage roster for this tourney.

Brinstar isn't even comparable to RC. RC gives advantages to a very, very specific subset of characters and essentially forces a ban. Brinstar just gives the advantage to the person who knows how to abuse the stage the best, which is no different than any other stage.

isnt that the reason why rc is a cp? brinstar might not give a certain character a certain advantage but it is more luck biased imo. not only that but it sorta does give characters like mk, snake, ddd, gnw advantages. but all its bull**** and glitches are just stupid

A characteristic of high-tier characters is that they are good on many stages. Brinstar isn't luck based at all - You always know when the lava is coming, and you know exactly where it will rise to.

RC gives the advantage to characters like MK who have excellent aerial mobility, and terribly shafts many characters. Often if the opponent is an MK you're forced to ban RC. The only time I've heard of people feeling forced to ban Brinstar is against Orion, and that's because he's really, really good at the stage.

I'd go to brinstar vs orion. Most fun 8 minutes ever...if only the time limit was increased.

yea true but wouldnt it be the same thing for rc? you know when the ship ends, when the stage rises, when the ledges and stuff appears. to be truthful i can NEVER see a wolf beating mk at brinstar, but i could see him winning on rc if he plays the stage better and gets his easy kills for there and maybe knows how to tech.

Wolf can barely recover with ledges around, how the hell do you think he recovers without them?

a LOT of characters do good on brinstar. marth. DK. pretty much ANY character in the game can abuse the hit box bubbles, and parts on the side and combo off the lava.

the lava gives you plenty of time to know its coming, other than that theres no random events. it has far less BS than randomly falling through the stage at delfino and CS.

not knowing a stage =/= random.

RC is a waste of a ban for most of the cast.

isnt that the reason why rc is a cp?
read. not even the thread. just the page.

your question has been answered :D

wolf is unviable... i dont really care if one character MIGHT do better on ONE stage.

look at the whole cast and not yourself.

FYI, wolf has options on brinstar.

his shine outspaces mks uair from above, and tornado/SL from underneath are punishable if read/PSed so sharking is good but still limited.

your Bair and dsmash kill REALLY early, and abusing your dsmash on the bubbles against a lot of mks moves to extend the length of the hitboxes greatly helps kill.

wolfs strings of the attack since his horizontal air mobility is greater than mks (and overall ridiculous) makes him abuse being mk being hit off the lava not only easy, but because of the stregnth of his attacks extremely viable.

wolf, as garbage as his recovery is also needs help recovering from the lava sometimes ;)

edit: and platform camping wolf SUCKS in general, but if you get baired at one of the side ones = loss of a stock.

I was thinking about going until I saw this:



I'll just go to GT instead. See you guys next NJ tourney I guess.
I'm sorry you feel that a host experimenting with banning a stage is reason not to go and have a great time at a tourney. Eh, your choice though.

inui

your not even coming lol.
I'm coming.

1. youve posted more arguments against RC than against it. idk why you had a change of heart, lol. it doesnt really matter
I got better. I got less scrubby. I learned the stage. Nothing is random about it. Set patterns. It's in Melee.

im sorry but if rc is banned take brinstar out in a second
Wtf? So ADHD can have a free win?

RC isn't unbalanced. Plenty of characters are good there.
I'm curious on who you think is good there and why it isn't wildly unbalanced in the favor of a few characters, but regardless of your reasoning this is more of a test than anything else and isn't any indication of what it going to happen at future events we hold. We're not unbanning it.

Either that, or I could unban any of Green Greens, Distant Planet, and Jungle Japes along with RC, which are three stages that can be considered to be unbalanced in favor of specific subsets of characters.

Dunno, man. I play Snake and Wolf and don't mind when people counterpick RC against me. Back in the summer (I think), I actually counterpicked this stage against Blackwaltz, as Wolf.

Edit: How's WoW?

That's because Olimar is -even worse- at that stage, lol.

WoW is excellent. Pretty close to grabbing my second piece of t10.

Poor mentality. Sorry, the newest guy on the scene can't get away with complaining about potentially having lackluster odds at profiting. Anyway, you almost beat Shadow last time and you've beaten Atomsk before. I don't see what the problem is. A competitive gamer should be out for blood, not hoping certain people don't show up.

Its a local, yet theres national level competition, and it happens every week. theres never a break from it. I don't have a job, nor can I get one, so I have to be smart with the money I have. Entering a tournament like this is like throwing money down the drain.

Ally is hilarious :)

He kept reassuring he wasn't going to be at our tournaments until after pound 4 and now he's coming.

Not like I care anyway; I wasn't expecting to win anything.

ADHD essentially came out of nowhere and is one of the best Brawl players we have. No johns.

Also, imagine going to another region with the experience you have from NJ.

I think I cant make it to Pierce's tourney but I'm coming for this, M2K or Wyatt team with me lol
What a surprise! I knew it. I called it. Oh well.

*not entering singles probably*

M2k, Ally, Adhd, Ksizzle, Shadow, Atomsk......... whats the point of entering anymore?
Yeah, I agree. I keep placing exactly one spot from cash because of those dudes, while I see mediocre players get to win big money all the time because they don't live in a region this good.

I agree.

Our tiny locals have a large amount of national competition consistently, and it's getting very tiresome. I'm tired of being 4th/5th seed when I'd be 1st seed in ~43 other states lmao...

Lol, sucks Inui, but look on the bright side... There is almost always a tournament to go to in NJ pretty close by, in some states you'll be lucky if there is a tourney within 2-3 hours
