No. I know I am right, so I will not budge. The better players in my crew and my co-hosts agree with me. The stage is stupid.
The SBRoom completly disagrees. Technically, you're wrong. Your crew and co-hosts may agree, but funny how so many others don't.
It is a shame that I alone have such intelligence, then.
Something that the people who seriously believe the earth is flat would say. Nice to see that you accept community input in your tournaments.
This has been before. The stage was deemed unfit for competitive play after being legal for many months after the game's release.
WRONG. It's been deemed completly fine for tournament play.
You just don't like it. Again I refer back the the SBR votes.
This option already exists. You can agree to play on it if you want. However, it will remain officially banned in my rulesets, and I will fight extremely hard to get it banned when it comes up again in the SBR. If they thought I was passionate and stubborn about the MK ban, they have seen nothing yet.
Sad that you allow your own biased personal prefference to interfere when running a tournament.
Absolutely not. Most of these players arguing for the stage are not NJ Smashers or part of the large group of players I lead, nor are they people of high status. Regardless of what people argue for, I will crush stupidity and make sure a proper rule set is used.
AKA, I'll ignore what everyone else thinks unless it agrees with me.
It is ridiculous that you can agree with that rubbish. You must camp in a safe zone at all times and worry about a hazard killing or damaging you every 13 seconds? Ridiculous. That is not skill. You shouldn't be fighting against the stage the whole match.
You and everyone else who thinks this is a complete and utter moron. Do you even read what other people...what am I saying, of course you don't. I'll make it in big red lettters, might increase the chance it'll be read (and hopefully understood)
You do not need to camp in the "safe zone" at all. It's just an area where, if you're paranoid/fail at reacting, you might want to go to for one second every 26 seconds. That's not camping.
Someone had the audacity to insult my skill, and I pointed out that I am the best player posting in this thread, which is still true. Nothing more.
As said many times, and has been said often in the SBR, Skill =/= good at rule making.
Why must you force players to waste their ban on Jungle Japes so that Falco can take them to FD, where he also has a huge advantage against everyone? Jungle Japes shouldn't be allowed in the first place.
You act as if Falco's unbeatable on both and he's only good on those two stages.
A 1% chance of the stage deciding who wins over the players...is enough to argue for a ban. A 0.0000000001% chance of the stage deciding who wins over the players...is enough to argue for a ban. It should be player vs player with no stage-based luck involved. The game forces us to have enough luck already. There is no reason to add more on our own.
You know, this is a good point. Lets ban Peach, Luigi and Game and Watch as well.
Fact is, the stage does have a tiny bit of randomness. So do a fair few others that are legal. Pictochat has absolutly nothing game breaking. But rather than listen to facts, you'd rather stick your head in the clouds, act like god and ignore everyone who doesn't agree with you.
And I thought M2K had a big ego.
A stage being less stupid than Port Town: Aero Dive is not an argument to make it worthy for competitive play. Pictochat has unpredictable transformations. Forcing players to keep track of things every 13 seconds and camp in a safe zone is ridiculous. Allowing a stage that can decide who wins is ridiculous. If you are in hitstun when a hazard appears, it's 100% luck for your opponent and the stage just picked who won based on luck and not skill. Absolutely unacceptable.
Again. You do not have to camp. It's 26 seconds. You can dodge/sheild/roll/many other things to dodge the slim chance that a damaging hazard spawns. If you're in hitstun and a hazard spawns, tough luck. How's that worse than if you got hit by GAW's 9 instead of a 3? And as has been said multiple times, unless you're on obscene percentage, or completly fail at DI, you can't die from the hazards.
Fact is, other stages have this too. What if you get hit with Halberd's claw/laser while in hitstun? What about Brinstar/Norfair lava while in hitstun? What makes this argument only for pictochat?
Thankfully the guys who run our tournaments aren't so convinced they're Smash incarnate.
