Well, from what I can tell. No one can find a good counterpick for a Top-of-the-line Meta Knight. So with this, people are gonna get sick of losing to him and try and find a counterpick against him.
After various failures, it is deduced to Meta Knight being a countetpick against himself. So people train with him so vigorously with him, that they fall into the same line of the pro Meta knight players. This will start a chain of the same thing, and more people will chose Meta Knight as a winning priority character.
Imagine, a tourney where only Meta Knight is picked.
*shudders*
I kinda side with Sakurai on the concept that Brawl shouldn't be competitive, things run too deep.
Of course this is just a senario that may go down.
But this chain has been occuring for a while now, so it may be inevitable to ban him.
Any arguement on the situation is moot, because if what is predicted happens, Meta Knight will be banned.
The only thing that can even gain any merit on Meta Knight's defense is showing some sort of video proof (and lost of it) on other characters, being able to defeat a well known Meta Knight pro. Of course it will be subject to investigation, and the methods used will have to be practiced.
If they prove effective to the point that any High/Mid tier character can defeat a pro Meta Knight with the standard efforts given based on their tier, then the whole situation is subject to change. If Meta Knight at his peak can be taken down by a different character at their peak, then he won't be banned.
Compare him to Fox in Melee.
Fox, statistically was the best character, but the gap wasn't that big between him, Marth and Sheik.
A pro Marth or Sheik was able to take down a pro Fox with the standard efforts given, any High Tier character could also.
But now in Brawl, a pro Snake or DDD would get owned by a pro Meta Knight, no question. The gap here is too big than the one in Melee, it can even be categorized as insurmountable.
For all those who want to defend Meta Knights case, 3 things:
1, saying a few notes on Meta Knight's weaknesses is not credible, in any way here. Mainly because under other circumstances, you would be defending him on how his strengths can easily over-shadow them, you can't turn the paradigm when your little masked blue Kirby is in a corner.
Inconsistency for the loss.
2, talking about how others can defeat a or your Meta Knight is also not credible here. Why? Because in the opening post, Samurai explained how just because a player can take down a Meta Knight, does not change how a pro Meta Knight can equate to the rest of the cast of characters. Neither does it mean that the Meta Knight in question who can be beaten is a "pro". Any character being played casually can be beaten by anyone, but compare that to a serious tournament where there are dozens of pro Meta Knight players whoa re notorious for they mass accumalated victories over every character save for Meta Knight himself.
3, if you really think your claim on defending him has any worth, talk to the SBR about it, make your claim, state your arguement and make a good point that can contradict months of tournament observation and metagame progress.
But if it is to serve so sort of relief, Samurai also said that it's too early to make a bold decision on it, so stay positive.
You never know, someone may come in and be able to turn the tables on a pro Meta Knight...
But realistically, thats unlikely. Possble, but not probable.

so. What you're saying is that you didn't beat santi because you have so little experience against toon link? Yes, this clearly proves that Meta Knight is not as good as everyone has been saying.
