Overswarm wanted both first AND second place, and local tournaments instead of just major tournaments. As amazing as M2K might be, I don't think he's perfected the concept of time paradox to be able to attend every single tournament on every single weekend.

32 out of 76 is still less than 18 out of 38, though, so I'm not exactly sure what OS was getting at.
?

When did I ask for second place?

I asked for the 2nd best ranking character on that list. The gap is huge.

I don't think that was ever said. It was stated that a large number of the points MK has come from Mew2King winning gigantic tournaments going all MK, thus netting MK tons of points every time.
80% wins was said. Whether it's what was meant or not, it was said (And CO18 was defending it being disagreed with so it seems like that's what was meant)
BECAUSE FREAKING M2k and DSF MAIN HIM AND GET LIKE 80% OF HIS WINS BECAUSE THEY ARE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE.

JUST LIKE HOW M2k WAS STILL THE BEST EC PLAYER WHEN HE USED DEDEDE AND DSF WAS THE BEST WEST COAST PLAYER WHEN HE USED SNAKE.
I said he earned a large number of points but not that huge a percent of the wins in response to it :p

It's not that it's unfair, it's just downright stupid. I'd say at least half of the SBR right now doesn't even play Brawl, and they are the leaders of the Brawl community... haha.

People should just come to their own conclusions instead of relying on the ridiculous and over-theorizing SBR.

wow, if they even play it...then why are they the leaders??? hahaha it's a bit contradicting if you aks me, so i shouldn't trust the sbr?
they were probably the leaders since melee, and just didn't move on to brawl.....i don't think that the non-brawl playing SBR members should even have a say in it.

By the way, of the 35 people who voted NOT to ban MK in the SBR, only 6 go to tournaments regularly.

Isn't it great that our decision is lead by 29 people who you can barely qualify as Brawl players?
1. I thought being an intelligent and oft-contributing individual was the qualification for entering the SBR, and not necessarily being tourney goers? If the decision on MK was supposed to be only decided by individuals who go to tourneys and not SBRers in general, perhaps that should have been specified.

2. If these individuals "barely qualify as Brawl players", why are they in the SBR then?

Most of them are intelligent posters from the Melee era. You can't understand something like the MK issue simply by reading text.

Well, to be fair, not many Pro-ban members attend many tournies either, nor do they win them so much like M2K, Ninjalink, Atomsk, and Inui.

wow Lee stop spreading lies what you said has already been proven false in back room immediately after you said it, and the same can be said for your side. The only truely top player that even voted to ban MK in back room was chillin, runner up being edress
O rly? Quote it for me where I was proven wrong. Oh wait, you can't.

I thought you quit?
Yeah, I'm just bored today and I feel like debating :) I play better games now (GGAC, SF)

I'm not quoting the back room WTF you aren't allowed to do that but they already said there's many more top players than the one you named. On average, and from just pure numbers, AS WELL AS almost every top player outside of TX that I talk to says banning MK is ********. I said TOP players. If you are just taking average players our side still has more.

I think he should be banned. He's just way too strong. He has an advantage over pretty much every character. The only way a Snake can be a good Metaknight is for him to spam grenades, but that won't work for long.

because the smarter people know what they are talking about? for the most part, the higher up in skill level you go, the greater %age of people are against it
This is mostly dependent on the region.



M2K is right about not quoting the back room though Lee; it's private for a reason.

Hahaha, they kicked me out of the SBR today for posting the info about how there are hardly any tournament players in the anti-ban side. The Smash community has awesome leadership
You shouldn't have been in there anyways. Isn't the backroom for people that contribute to the community, host good tournaments, are top players, or any combination of the three? You don't really fit that stuff too well.

Oh, you're also a jackass that hasn't earned one tiny bit of his arrogance.
