I think Overswarm would gladly host a tournament using a conservative stage list provided you can give logical, and justifiable reasons for each stage being banned.
Hence why I put "Metaknights/top Metaknights" genius. On average, Midwest does not have nearly the amount of MK entrants that EC regularly has, and you'd be fooling yourself if you deny it. That is why I found your "Nope's tournament proved that metaknights don't perform better under our stagelist" example to be quite a funny one, because it just continues to show how desperate you are to get the MLG stagelist changed, or at the very least it shows how bitter you are about the effect it has on your character. If you're going to present an example, at least make it a good/viable one please.
You're one to talk. You're just as hard-headed as you accuse him of being, although he can actually present evidence and information in his arguments. If you need any proof of what I'm saying...just look at what I just quoted.
Top metaknights? We have like.. two. Judge, recently is arguable to be better than them both, and he got 9th under EC rules. Who cares about the other metaknights. Why are you taking into consideration scrubs? Scrubs main metaknight, big deal.
Many of the stages allowed by liberal stage lists help characters other than Metaknight more than they help Metaknight.
Name 3 people who won their matches due to a "fluke" caused by TV lag.
Its been said a few times in this thread that most of the top IC players at MLG said the TV lag made them drop CGs.
ok, so in very specific match-ups it helps someone else more than MK.
And who are those 2 MK's?
Big M and cheese.
The lag affects everyone, dude. Tyrant claimed it RIGHT after Orlando (don't misconstrude it as some stupid john for columbus) that the lag was constantly affecting him, and mew2king as well. I can contend for that, it was harder to do anything.. really.
Name them both for the sake of clarification please. Being vague won't get anyone anywhere.
Sure, because rules alone are the only determining factor for one's placement in a tournament. Good argument there.
Who said pros were my only focal point? I'm obviously speaking generally here. Everyone knows NJ/EC is MK country, so are you going to deny that there are more MK entrants (thus...a higher probability of there being top MKs in the mix) per tournament than in the Midwest?
And I'd concur that you're the desperate one here. Who said anything about the EC stagelist solely promoting Metaknight, if at all? It promotes a select few characters, sure, but Metaknight will perform well regardless of the stagelist arrangement. He's Metaknight.
Or maybe, just maybe, those top MKs were simply bested by competitors whom:
after comparing and looking at other tvs at showdown mine def had that delay. It affected my timing on the CG for DDD. Other players that played on mine also said their timing for ATs was off, sound didnt match up with their inputs.
I know what you mean, I'm not saying the circumstances were perfect, but he straight up called those upsets flukes. All I can say to that is...really?
Just to add my thoughts on the matter. People still don't seem to understand how Diddy works, and what constitutes a good Diddy stage.
Norfair is a great stage for alot of characters but if ur gonna run into MK's then its might make u worse.
i agree, cuz like i came from wifi too you know? And untill showdown i rly didnt fully appreciate and understand the severity these little things can cause. Mind you 1-2 isnt a big huge deal compared to wifi, but the fact that we have control over such things is what people nit pick about. Wifi lag, yea, random understandable. However TVs we have control over these variables. The matter itself is a very gray'ed subject. Standard TVs are not as readly available anymore.
I'm going to have to disagree. I generally beat Diddy here, and have a remarkable win ratio against not only ADHD, but all Diddy Kong players I've ever fought here, as both Marth and MK.
No, it is 100% possible to get monitors and eliminate the lag. You just have to do some research.
Composite to VGA adapters/ Component to VGA adapters
You know me better then that, Pierce. I don't like to give out false information without actually doing a bit of research myself. Best believe when I gather everything I need, I will talk to everyone about it. I have been studying tech and software information for a while now, coming up with a proper solution that is affordable for MLG to do. As soon as I gather the right information, I will let them know how to settle this.
i will try this out when i get my next pay check. Since i have a HDTV, a standard TV, and possibly this set up. I'll be able to test all 3 out.
The link is now fixed. Also, if you can, go for it. The more testing the better.
This was basically geared directly at metaknight's usage.
Thats true however alot of the upsets were caused by players from different regions that don't normally attend tourneys with those players. I don't think Mikehaze had ever played Ook or even a DK of Ooks level before. I also don't believe that DEHF had played Kryzstedez before and although im sure he has wario experience there aren't any warios that play absolutely anything like Kryz. Idk about Ally playing Nick Riddle before but the first set it didn't look like Ally knew the MU that well.
That was true, but there were about 80 upsets.
It certainly does not. After all, when was the last time there was a Midwest hometurf national that drew this much regional diversity, especially since we're now over 2 years into the fast-developing metagame (as opposed to any past tournaments where people may not have known how to play certain matchups)? When is the last time any of the other top players (excluding M2K and Ally) have played the best players from the Midwest or even the South/Florida/Georgia for that matter?
