Something that exists in more than just three infamous matches?Well, how do we DEFINE what is a "problem"?
How many people have won tournaments by planking? How many people have even placed well by planking? How many people, on average, even plank at each tournament you go to? Although everyone probably knows the answers to the first two (none and very, very few), no one really knows the latter. How many people do plank? I'd guess not that much at all, but the TOs need to come to us with this information instead of people spewing made-up facts.
Edit: And I agree Melo, we shouldn't let people abuse it as a stalling-technique. But really, we don't know if it is a stalling technique. We know that some characters like Pika or Diddy can get around it pretty simply, but others, when they see someone plank, just stand there and act stupid. I doubt that many people have experimented with it despite the huge debates over it.
Really, it isn't stalling, the opponent is just forced into an approach depending on what character they used and is put in a disadvantageous situation, as far as we know. I hate planking and think this is stupid, but it's not banworthy at this point. Some characters can deal with it, and some characters may find out that it's not such a horrible situation if the character boards start experimenting with what they can do. Too little people do it, and too little people try to get around it.
