2 of our top 8 Main MK. 2 other people in the top 8 use him as a secondary. Everyone else mainly saves him for jank stages. Outside the top 8 only 2-3 people consistently show up to tournaments that use him. I don't call that infested. Infested is more like, Pools? 3 MK mains and 2 other mains? Bracket? round 1 MK round 2 MK round 3 non-MK round 1 losers-MK round 2-losers non-mk round 3 losers MK. WF LF and GF? MK dittos.

If you want an MK infestation try going to WC, or tristate where even the randoms all main MK.

There's still too many <_<

I may be exaggerating it but there's still a lot of Metaknights around.

@Goddy: You use your opponent's main and the opponent uses yours. You play a normal set otherwise.

That can be May's side event.

June will be Dedede Dittos on Green Greens.

And you can only use Grabs for dealing damage. Infinites on.

Pretty sure Gio, Marco and I are the only real MK mains that have been going to tourneys lately, and by that I mean I think Gio and I are the only MK mains who have been going to tourneys lately. I will agree there are a hell of a lot pocket MKs though.

i think MK dittos are by far the most interesting and dynamic matches. camping doesn't really work, and it's 100% about hard reads and reaction time. it actually makes brawl fun. i would NEVER camp in my matches if my opponent didn't do so. it's funny, the people who complain the most about MK being 'gay' are also ones that camp the hardest.

.... why the hate?

Things MK can't do against MK - tornado, approach, dair, fair, nair, dsmash first, grab, etc.
It's just like playing a character that has a lot less options because everything you want to do will be punished, unless you do it second. Why not just play captain falcon dittos - a ditto that's actually fun and balanced

I hate Metaknight's existence.

But the ditto is actually really fun and skill based. You HAVE to know what you're doing. You HAVE to have superior spacing because of most of his moves having transcendent priority. You HAVE to know your options.

Metaknight is gay and I hate his existence but the ditto is really fun. And he is fun to play as.

That's what I can't stand about the MU though. You're playing another character, since your priority means nothing.

The MK ditto is so fun because there is no safe move, you can get punished for absolutely everything you do but your opponent can be punished by anything he does, so it all comes down to making really good reads and knowing your opponent, and when you win you feel like you played soooooo well because you did. MK dittos da bess!!!

You can't space in MK v MK. Spacing with MK vs GaW is staying just the right distance away so you can fair/dair etc. without getting hit. There is no space you can hit MK without also getting hit. ie. you can't approach or you will get hit. MK plays every match up abusing range and priority, and sometimes that makes him broken, but usually characters just don't lose based on the MU. Without priority and decent range, MK is a different, much worse character

The ditto can be dumb, like any matchup. It can turn into who can walk away and Ftilt better lmfao.

Yes. What you said is true, MKs moves are good. That is usually what makes a character good. But Diddy is useless without his naners, climbers are nothing without their CG, falco is nothing without his lasers....

If NE had a LT PR, it would go as follows:
1) Rob's Link
2) My ganon

I don't think anyone else in NE plays lt, but even if they did this would be true

PS: I'll lt mm people too (^____^)

Well, **** dude. I don't know how I can argue with "you can't space when two characters of equal range fight each other." That's like saying "a swordfight has nothing to do with the length of your sword because both of you have swords", which everyone knows is flawless logic.
