I posted a thread for the first time ever (i've never used smash forums before) regarding this issue.
so out of curiosity i started looking into it, i thought being banned was just the 9 minute message you get when your 3ds battery dies in the middle of a match or you just turn off the system because the lag is bad / annoying, or for idling too long.
so as i was reading into this i saw a pattern. the better, more stronger players were more likely to be banned, and could only fight other banned players.
now, the last "normal" FG battle i had was yesterday. i was fighting this donkey kong player for a good hour. they would change characters but eventually stuck with DK because that was their strongest fighter. i was playing wii fit trainer and had no issue winning each match with both lives intact (most of the time). my main kill method was meteor smashing via header (yes. header can meteor smash if the head hits the opponent before the ball does) which is fun and easier to do, especially on bigger characters like DK.
after our final match which consisted of me (not trying to toot my own horn here) meteor smashing this person's DK off stage twice before they could stack up more than 30% damage on me.
as i wait in the character selection screen, they take an absurdly large amount of time. i read that you can report people in the victory screen in 3ds version which may take a while, causing the player filing the report to take a long time to come back to the character selection screen.
so, i got tired of waiting and left. i turned my 3ds off and got ready to go hang out with a friend.
now today, as i play in "ban land" fighting the same player(s) and waiting more than 10 minutes to find someone to fight (who i assume is a banned player as well) i noticed all of these "banned" players are incredibly good. i can barely compete against them, and if i am able to corner them or beat them it's a stroke of luck. like a captain falcon player with flawless air drops and perfect grabbing times. a sonic player with perfect pivoting. all of the players i could fight (which is like, 4 different people) were fighting perfectly. not rolling. not being cheap. just incredibly good in every way.
i read a post discussing "ban land" and in it some people said that only the stronger players get banned because the more casual players gets salty and assume they're hacking to be so good. i'm starting to believe this is true. because like i said, every player i've seen in ban land so far isn't doing anything wrong. they're just very very good and can read and predict my every move to KO me quickly, which is amazing.
idk. i just felt like posting this because it was interesting to me.
