And in order to ban MK we have to argue why he is br0ken. The arguements thus far are mostly overcentralized gameplay, Counterpick system useless and having no bad match-ups.Let me try to break it down for you.
Akuma was banned because he was broken.
Why is being broken a bad thing?
Because being broken means he shuts down every other character period.

Because it turns competitive play into who can play the broken character the best.

Because it stifles the diversity of the game.
Your quoted post stating why Akuma was banned only supports the idea that diversity is a valid reason to ban something.
Match-ups is a bit controversal for declaring br0ken as he still does have even match-ups, wario, snake and diddy are among a few that go near or at even with MK.
The CP system is a more through arguement as no stage can be used against MK that will give him a disadvantage and any stage that gives the opposing player a decent advantage can be banned by the MK user (ex. MK banning FD against diddy)
Overcentralization I think is a valid arguement as well. There really are a lot of MK users attending tournaments.
So now it just comes down to if people really agree that MK is broken with the current arguements or not.
