They're rethinking of banning metaknight because all of the US MKs got destroyed by neitaro's Olimar. Everyone is now starting to realize me and Tommy were right when we said MK isn't THAT good.

So you're saying your right cuz someone who plays otori all the time beat a mk who plays olimars that aren't even close to nietono sometimes? K.

The most popular line of reasoning for re-addressing the Meta Knight ban that I saw is as follows:

The Japanese region's input was entirely ignored on the basis of Japan's Meta Knight metagame being inferior to the U.S. Meta Knight metagame. Therefore, there is merit in re-evaluating their suggested standards (e.g. Final Destination, Smashville, and Battlefield as the only legal stages, possibly including Yoshi's Island and Lylat Cruise).

So you're saying the player knowing match-ups with the character they're playing is the deciding factor in winning a match rather than their character carrying them through all of those free victories? K.

Ocean beating m2k was purely Jason being outplayed. It didn't matter much which character either of them played in that set :laugh:

We saw how that worked for ESAM and cheese and vinnie right? Well at least I saw it

:phone:
If you were willing to use :popo: against :metaknight:, then I don't understand why you'd be afraid to use :popo: against :olimar:. With or without :metaknight:, :popo: is still :olimar:'s worst MU with :falco: being the only other character that beats him.

There's no point in using anyone other than your main against a player like Nietono. The CP system doesn't affect him any more than it would any top :metaknight: main. I was discussing this with C.J. a few months ago.

couple examples in this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wMRtjTW4sc you also want him above you you can upair **** him, but just to let you know me and nick thought you should have stayed pika all games. you probably would have adapted. its a tough mu yes but any mu is do able. We both felt like your best chance was pika and play a really defensive game. Pikachu still has untapped potential. you should progress it. Im trying to with my falco(my original main before IC). IC will not dominate the scene with or without MK. Look at Kakera he dropped them and 9B is trying to learn Lucario still. They're support characters to cover really bad MU. Get that pikachu up to par with japanese players. Because believe it or not the japanese didnt even bring there best players from japan. Its insane. these guys are honestly better than us with there characters because they dont rely on Laming people out or stages BS to win. They take the time to learn there character. That's why i have respect for you and nick riddle yall trying to learn your characters to the fullest extent. More you understand pika. The easier the fight will be. I bet if you work on your pika more the next time you play that olimar with your pika you'll win. Ill put money n it if you actually do it instead of going straight to the CP. thats why alot of people are not good. They rely way too much on it.

If they have another national ever me and Hr are for sure going

Kakera picked up :metaknight: because he was preparing for APEX 2012, not because his :popo: is inadequate. 9B just does whatever he wants because he's 9B (his :lucario: is relatively mediocre IMO).

What I'd like to see is tournaments using the Japanese stagelist (I don't mean :metaknight: legal).

kakera played mk before he thought about apex. I cant find the interview but he says he switched because he felt like mk fit his play style the best basically. and 9B plays characters in attempt to push the "limits" they have

I hadn't heard anything of the sort, but by all means if I'm wrong then I'm wrong.
