Seriously though.... you're going to make counting a part of playing the game? ....

That's kind of the point, to discourage people from planking. Since there is no counter in-match, you'll probably plank less to avoid the risk of doing it to much. Working as intended.Yea but if you want to NOT get DQed.
You HAVE to keep count yourself.
There isn't a counter on the screen DURING gameplay.
70 is plenty enough to use the edge for edgeguarding/recovering/maybe even a little planking. For a 7-8 minute (MAXIMUM) match, 70 is a large number.Yea but there are lots of consequences for this rule.
What if you use the edge to edgeguard? What about edgeguard attempts?
What if you get hit off the stage because of your shield gets hit near the edge?
Limiting the amount of times you can grab the edge doesn't just affect ledgestalling.
As in throwing people off the stage with characters that can CG so they grab it 70 times?7 minute time limit= 420 seconds, 70 grabs would mean every 6-7 seconds you would grab the ledge. There is no way to reach that unless you're intentionally abusing the game mechanics and hanging on the ledge all match.
It doesn't even matter if this is enforced to me, as I will always be one step ahead of the system in finding new gay things to abuse.
That last sentence is almost siggable7 minute time limit= 420 seconds, 70 grabs would mean every 6-7 seconds you would grab the ledge. There is no way to reach that unless you're intentionally abusing the game mechanics and hanging on the ledge all match.

If nobody sigs it I will.It doesn't even matter if this is enforced to me, as I will always be one step ahead of the system in finding new gay things to abuse.
Go back to the first 5 or so pages before people started flaming. >_>I don't see many good counter points being made, most of them are "this is stupid, you're stupid" . Step it up guys, this is a discussion no TO is actually going to make this an official rule...yet.
I've been reading, thats why I said I don't see many. There is a few good counter points, everything else is just silly. At the very least this should be tested in a small tourney to get some data to see if 70 is a good number or if this rule is even worth it.Go back to the first 5 or so pages before people started flaming. >_>
We're not worried about you, we're worried about people who hit once and try to hold the edge the entire game.The rule is worth it for the average mediocre player who attempts to Plank just to win, but as for me I will have no problem still being gay and keeping my lead with a 70 ledge grab limit =)
Its not hard to tell when someone is doing this...a rule like this is not required. IMHOWe're not worried about you, we're worried about people who hit once and try to hold the edge the entire game.
There are several characters who are hard to punish / impossible to punish on the edge. ZSS can drop -> downB and never lose invincibility frames, for example.
Except that obviously doesn't/can't always happen. This rule is far easier to enforce and doesn't require hiring people who will all have different definitions of planking.....Its not hard to tell when someone is doing this...a rule like this is not required. IMHO
simply have the Judge know Planking is illegal..end of problem xP
He grabbed the ledge 93 times, and was planking like a *****. Your point? Thats exactly what we're after here. That should not be legal.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awI8Zz1EIE8
Way more than 70. I counted.
He didn't even start planking until halfway through the match.
Didn't they say that this only applies if the timer runs out?As in throwing people off the stage with characters that can CG so they grab it 70 times?
Because even if you lose the match you still win?
You probably don't have to play someone who can CG. You just have to play near the edge lol
You intend to have the judge watch each and every match?Its not hard to tell when someone is doing this...a rule like this is not required. IMHO

I don't like it. Whenever I'm playing a Marth, I like upbing several times just to see an opening on his side.I like the puerto rican rule better.
If your opponent is onstage and you grab the ledge 5 times in a row without touching ground or getting hit (opponent has to be onstage so you can edgeguard using the ledge) then you lose. or if you don't lose, that can at least be actual criteria for if someone is planking/ledgecamping after a judge gets called over.
Because some people are considering it.umm... why is this thread still open. It's utterly pointless.
