AT first I was one of the guys that said that ban MK was not necesarry but watching and studying all MK aspects me and my friends ( I speak for most of the comunity back in PR) that MK breaks the game. When Akuma was banned in ST2 it was simply because Akuma was created to destroy every other character, his attacks and air hadoken were unbeatable and no character was able to impose that(In high lvl play), even old Sagat had a problem. Is there any difference with MK in smash?
ok here is the thing. that MK has that breaks the game.
1- his tornado. its almost unbeatable and we have found how to stop it with almost all characters but still is very situational and scince MK has no lag and too much priority he can just spam it and have almost all the time the advantage. Only chars that could counter it often were Marth with up B and snake with granade.
2- his up B is ridiculos. it has invincibility frames in the beggining and it can be used to counter almost every attack. like shine in melee but its safe. Still it can be beaten.
3- If you are way up in the stage or in the top paltform of Battlefield he can set up and instant kill with upairs and finish with tornado and kill u( this combo was made by HDL and almost certain kill to any char, and really hard to DI)
4- and the one that really upsets me. With MK there is no edgehog or edgeguard. Yes u can do it to some scrub or stupid person but when someones is debating about competitive play we use High level play. and in high lvl play u cant really count on someone doing a mistake. and MK can just recover from any direction perfect. he can even kill u if u try to gimp him. and he has 5 air recoveries.: glide under stage, tornado , down b, up B ( can end up killing the other player) and Foward B. almost all of the are unstopable. Even pit's recovery can be gimped.
5- No lag in attacks. but it can be dealt with. and invinsible cape for camping but its banned.
Now that these reasons have been mentioned( and believe me I eat MK scrubs for breakfast) its pointless to fight a pro MK because simply he breaks the game and the others characters cant really overcome MK.
I mean unless u want brawl to finish like MvC 2 magneto, Sentinel, Storm, Cable. in brawl it would be: MK, Marth, snake and wario. something like that and still I find it too hard for them to really beat a pro MK. cause Pros dont make mistakes.
Some times I really wonder if sakurai made MK broken on purpose lol.
And if these poll are really to be heard and SBR is considering in ban MK good but if this polls are just made to please some then all this threads are pointless. And there is too many that just want MK banned and have given solid proof.
so Here is my grain of sand on banning MK.
