avarice whether or not sf4 is harder to pickup is subject to your opinion. I actually picked up playing sf4 a lot faster than brawl even though i havn't played any street fighter since super nintendo either. I went over to my friends house, he showed me a few things i watched justin wong vs daigo on youtube and i was already able to beat some ppl in the g2 area within 3 hours of me playing. That post seems like an attack at me and yes i am *****ing about needing to learn a new main and i am picking up a new main at t10 when i go what more do you want from me.
My definition of fun is being able to go to a tournament and winning a few matches and not getting 3 stocked by people. Mk who is admittedly easy to pickup is a character who suits my need. Hes easy to pickup and play at a mid level, but to play him on a high level is difficult because many people know the mk matchup like the back of their hand, they should know how to put mk in those situations where he makes mistakes because guess what brawl is all about mindgames especially when a lot of mks matchups are in the 60-40 range. The smarter player who practices and knows the matchup will win everytime, why else would we see such consistent results from players on the PR with this supposed mk dominance. If you disclude the 5 who use mk, btw doc, brose, will only use mk pretty much against another good pr player using mk or against someone who cps a gay ic/diddy stage. You still see nickcam ****** up scrubby mks, percon is still a beast. FOOL is the ultimate definition of an mk slayer. Just look at him, he knows the matchup so well so mk isn't even a problem for him unless your name is hype or kingace who just happened to be more skilled than him.
If you guys actually think that mk is killing the community then why not limit us to using mk only against members on the pr then. Phil is good nough to play snake against most of the community but needs his character against the higher level players, you can't just expect him to catchup like that. I actually wouldn't mind this as i'd feel more comfortable playing against ppl not on pr with a secondary, and being able to deal with the ppl on pr with mk. The skilled players can all beat mk, the scrubs can't deal with it so lets ban it like that then. That way new players won't be turned off and quit because of mk brackets all over. people on the PR should be experienced enough to deal with mk and those people would be the ones going to the states to play in canada crew most likely. So why not weed out the low level mk play and keep the high level ones so that canada is still ready to play mks in the states.
Basically, if we do the ban i suggested, you play in pools as non mk against most ppl. You get around 2-3 seed anyways because you do better than the noob thats in your pool. You play another 2-3 and win, then you play a 1st seed whose most likely a member of the pr, in which case you've earned your right as a smart enough player to not just be labeled some scrub who wins against other scrubs because of mk. The pr players still get their mk prac and the majority of the community won't have to face an mk, only 10 people would. PR members should vote on this imo. Its a suggestion that i think would benefit both the community and current mk mains.
DBL mk in dbls however i agree should definately banned, dbl tornado is just too gay.
