I'm not on the confirmed list? Might as well put me on now.
From the first page, would it be possible for charles, or maybe even edwin to house me?

Also, don't use "you can always ban it" as an arguement for it being a legal stage.
I disagree with some of the stages, but I'll play along.
I will always be in favour of stage striking over random select though.

Mute is TERRIBLE. No other stages can Peach and Jiggs win like the complete pricks they are whilst being a complete death wish for fox, falco, falcon, Doc. Green greens is a completely aweful stage that shouldn't be legal anywhere : /.

corneria, Brinstar, poke floats and rainbow ride are stages that I don't think are as bad but I think Mute should def not be on

lol Mute is a legit stage.

You're going on like those characters you named can't win on it.....cos they clearly can.
It's just not in your favour, which is why it is a COUNTERPICK and if you don't like that stage then yes you should ban it.

As AmcD said, you can't have Corneria and not have Mute, cos Corneria is heavily in fox's favour but I guess since it isn't a terrible doc map you aren't gonna kick up to much of a fuss are you lol.....

People aren' t using 'you can always ban it' as an arguement for it being a legal stage.

People are complaining that the stage is not gonna work in their favour or other peoples favour and we are saying it should be banned, there's nothing illegal about the stage.

But yeah you do what you just said and 'play along.

Yeah I'm also a big fan of stage striking, it seems more consistent to me. (Though it also means you'll see a lot of Battlefield >__>)

Yup, prof pretty much summed up everything I was gonna say

Add gantz and lj into that list

Battlefield is too good, and yeah I'm usually for stage striking but either will do imo. As long as it's not 5 randoms like it used to be. I remember when we did BO1 on 5 randoms, that was horrible lol!

Gantz is above Tamoo.....
He placed higher then him at PH2 (Gantz 9th, Tamoo 13th) and he also beat him at London Monthly and placed 5th (joint with Chrisboi) when Tamoo placed 9th lol.
What has Tamoo proven other then beating you that one time to prove he is above Gantz lol.

And surely Ben should be higher then Coey on that by now :ohwell:

Yeah I like stage striking cos it means that first game will be fair and not in anyones extreme favour.

But there's only 3 random stages.....so is there much point.
Unless of course we add the other 5 which is either.

Battlefield
Pokemon Stadium
Final Destination
Dreamland 64
Yoshi Story

or

Fountain of Dreams
Pokemon Stadium
Final Destination
Dreamland 64
Yoshi Story

Oh yeah I forgot it was 3 stages, that's true. I think BF is better, but either works imo.

Tbh, I think it's all a bit debatable and almost irrelevant after the top 6 or even the top 4.

Would go as far as to suggest it's rediculously even after top 4 and literally anything could happen

There's no point quibbling about ranking of players really except at the very top where consistent results speak for themselves - people will always have their own opinions. E.g. Me placing higher than Tamoo in last two tournies but him beating Chrisboi and me losing to him doesn't say much about anything. I haven't played him in tournament for over a year and have no idea if I'm better than him or not. Same with Gantz, though I'm pretty sure he's still a little better than me.

So yeah to sum up specifically: different players beat different players...sometimes. Lol.

Also I like having one ban per player throughout the set AND stage striking from 3/5 neutrals, just my 2 cents.

Edit: Tamoo got there first lol.

I read somewhere saying something along those lines, so I just mentioned it to say that it isn't a good arguement. I'm not bothered enough to find it, or to say anything else, I was merely stating a fact.

Apart from the top few players, creating a list for how good each player is, would be time consuming, unneccessary, and probably wrong.

He makes occassional mistakes when trying to show off, but he is **** good, especially once he gets in the correct mindset.

And my attendance is looking doubtful as it stands, which does not make me happy. :(

I don't think craiigg has done that well at all in tournaments to earn him that sort of rank. Just seems like for some reason people like craiigg are for some reason being put up there above me when they havent been placing well or attending many tournaments whereas some other people that are put below him in Joes list have been playing at loads of tournaments and getting good placings.

He flakes alot/has a really bad memory, be he's really solid when he gets down. I've only watched you a bit, but he did seem better, even if it is just down to him using better characters which give him more options.

He places fairly well (for a UK player that isn't fuzz) in european tournaments, or so he tells me. Or it may be he used to be better and he hasn't been on form for a while, but it still included.

I dunno, from purely what i've seen, ben is a better player and has proven himself enough to be higher. But that may just have been because im much more comfortable against falco that doc :/

Even so, someone who regularly goes to tournaments should imo be given priority over people who don't
