I was thinking what it would be like to be a Meta Main.

Honestly, the only reason I thought of this was because I don't see why Meta Knight isn't banned ( doesn't mean I want him banned ) he can stuff any approach with up b and well you know.

but thats not what this is about, thats just the reason I thought of this. Do you MK's ever worry that your main that you put so much time into over this past year will be banned? do you worry that he will be soft banned or even full banned in the future?

First they came for Meta Knight, and I was silent
Then they came for Snake, and I was silent
Then they came for Dedede, and I was silent

And before I knew it, they came for my main too

I'd be more concerned about the fact that nearly every competitive player knows the match-up inside and out.

Edit: Tense confusion XD

point one is both untrue and irrelevant because a large number of characters don't need to approach meta knight, he needs to approach them.

I wouldn't really care if he was banned(it's not going to happen btw), I play a lot of characters. it would suck because he's really fun and I don't see what's so wrong about him, I don't feel like I really lose to MK's when I use other characters when I shouldn't, it usually happens because I picked a bad character with a horrible matchup or one I don't play much, or they just played better than me. actually I like facing him more than snakes, falco's, and olimar's generally -_- but yeah, one less fun character but I could deal with it, dunno who I'd main afterward though. and a soft ban wouldn't really deter me, **** he kinda already is soft banned, people will despise you just because you play him, but I really don't care what unreasonable people, as many the brawl community may have, think.

As dj Iska said, people are fast learning how to handle Meta Knight. In December, almost everyone wanted him banned. In January, when he wasn't, many were up in arms and hated him. By February, the community was focused on and discovering his weaknesses. Now, I see very few complaining he is broken.

MK is too good but you can't ban him

Plus the feeling when you beat a good MK is priceless.

Agreed with Affinity and Commander, as usual you guys speak the truth. We just ignore the scrubs and cling-on believers, they are no longer the majority!
EDIT: If for some reason he was banned (It won't and shouldn't happen, but hypothetically), I would switch to my second: King Dedede. He's my second favorite, and a character I am equal with in skill, I just like Meta Knight more!

MK won't be banned and even if he was I would just switch to other characters I'm already good with.

It's obvious at this point that he isn't going to be banned

If he ever was banned, I was considering either playing kirby or melee only.

Mk wont be banned and if he was some people would quit brawl and go back to melee or just change to different characters (snake).

I still never saw what the big deal is. I may not be a Metaknight Main, but he is amoung the circle of my 13best characters, and I still enjoy using him. But since everyone now a days tries to chain grab people to death, use infinite attacks against walls, or try to camp an enemy with spammy attacks or projectiles, who on earth is still worried about Metaknight anymore? Come to think of it, honestly, why was Metaknight ever a threat? I'm going to get flamed for it, but I don't see what ever warrented banning him.... except for scrubbs who couldn't beat him, newbies scared of losing that discraced him at tournaments (they are so fun to beat down), and his cape glitch, Metaknight is an easy character to deal with.... he always was, and unless someone learns more gltiches (which probably will get banned), he seems like he'll remain an easy character to deal with.

I will be one of the many people completely Outraged by a poorly educated decision to ban Metaknight for no reason other than him being the game's best character. Unless he actually has moves that are broken (I can't think of any other than the glitch that is broken), there is no reason to remove him. Ban Metaknight, and Snake deserves to be banned for being second best and possibly his Usurper, and Marth and Falco and Dedede need banishment, and Game&Watch and Lucario and Wario and Diddy Kong need banishment, all of which just for being too good, and before you know it, this game will become "SUPER SMASH JIGGLYPUFF BRAWL!". And no one wants that.
