The SBR official stance on Metaknight.

[Deleted member]

Right now, is the SBR accepting new members? And if so, is it invite only or can we still give in the application through the user CP and theyl read it?

out of thousands of posts, 3-4 people really stood out during the MK poll while in the general public. that would have been the idea time to score recommendation points while almost the entire SBR was reading it daily.

That sig is hilarious since it's seems true.

I still fell we should focus on improving the metagame of the low tiers and/or underused characters.

Time to use more Yoshi, Lucas, and others people.

I dunno, I try using MK, I just prefer Kirby and ZSS wayyy more, especially Kirby. God, I love that character. Not having notable weaknesses is such an awesome thing...

I guess I'll keep learning MK for the lolz in tourneys when I play a rndom MK hater. Heheheh...

 

[da K.I.D.]

wait, you like kirby for not having major weaknesses, and you dont like MK?

wtf?

I call shenanigans

 

[WindMajor]

Kirby IS too much fun. I blame the down taunt mostly. MK is only fun when you're mad and need to vent, but even then, it's not fun to be hated.

lol :D

I'm weird like that. I dunno, Kirby has bair and vertical gimping moves. Plus a couple of things he does has me loving his move-set so much. ZSS isn't far behind, she combos legitly (as in, 3+ unescapable, consecutive hits).


And I'm guessing I was TWiNK's influence on seconding Kirby...? You actually like him? So, my tourney advice worked? :D

Not really. I tried to second Kirby before the tournament, but as fun as he was, I wasn't good with him. I stopped trying to use Kirby and started learning how to use Falcon, since my friends always wanted to Falcon dittos (epic!).

However, you DID encourage me to pick him up again. I looked at our videos like a million times, and I tried to do some of the stuff you do, and it was fun! BTW, I sent you a replay of a lucky BS Kirby combo I did against my brother, but since you don't have your Wii, I doubt you saw it.

While i hope im one of them(who am i kidding XD), thats not where i was getting at. Do we have to apply or does the SBR invite the people to them? I understand recommendations make you more likely to be chosen, but do you filter out people who dont officially apply?

 

[ProfPeanut]

Well and good. Let us now let this issue waste away in a bin until next year.

 

[choknater]

i remember in the BRoom, they would get together with threads and say 'its about time again' and talk about new people who they would want in the room

 

[Crims0n]

I'm glad to see it's finally resolved, and in my favor as well

 

[KirbyandSonicrock14]

LOL, I voted yes to this crap. And I still lost Well, I gotta get use t oit.

 

[Atlus8]

MK is cool! You just gotta press the B button!

you have horrible trolling skills

Is it lock time yet?

 

[Kewkky]

It's been lock time forever ago, if that even makes sense, heheheh.

Nice to know I was partially responsible, TWiNK. Hohohohoho~


To answer swordgard's question: I bet you can send a join request (it IS a public usergroup), but I don't think that they'll accept it. Unless you accidentally left the group then send the join request to regain access, or something of that sort.


And a quick question: Who's seen an influx of MK's in their tourneys yet? Is it even happening? I guess there'll be a bit more due to not having the fear that time used on MK will be time wasted, but not a whole LOT more than we originally thought...

 

[Kewkky]

Accidental doublepost, my bad...

 

[pizzapie7]

It seems like the discussion has finally ended, so I think this thread should be closed now.

 

[comboking]

It's only because most of the SBR members play metaknight.

 

['V']

It's only because most of the SBR members play metaknight.

Please.. Stop it..

 

[Niko_K]

It's due to the regional bias in the SBR as well as the campaigning INSIDE the SBR about Pro ban or Anti ban....

It's ironically identical to American elections :O

obvious troll is obvious

 

[Dastrn]

most of the smash community plays metaknight.

fixed your post

 

[choknater]

ahhh so many people be tryna attack the sbr haha

 

[AvaricePanda]

Pro-ban only won because most of the SBR doesn't main Meta Knight.

...oh wait.

 

[smashmachine]

Pro-ban only won because most of the SBR doesn't main Meta Knight.

...oh wait.

fail post is fail
a majority of the sbr actually doesn't main meta knight

 

['V']

Honestly... Does it really matter anymore at this point anyway? What's done is done. Go and do whatever it is you feel like doing.

It's all politics.


SBR functions very simularly to the US Supreme Court, so a lot of the dynamics in decision-making in terms of the politics will come into play.

 

[demonictoonlink]

Ya know...this thread should have never been open...We had the huge thread to discuss this. This is one giant troll playground...

Except the US Supreme Court is chosen by the POTUS who is elected by the people and the members can be impeached by Congress, who is also chosen by the people. Meanwhile, the SBR is not affected by the SWF community in these ways. =/

True, but that is trounced by the fact that they're essentially powerless organizations that depend solely on legitimacy to have any effect on the community.

If everyone decided to stop listening to the SBR tomarrow, what would happen, I'll give you a hint, it's pretty much summed up by this, "John Marshall has rendered his decision, now let him enforce it."


With neither the power of the purse nor the sword, SCOTUS, like the SBR, depends on people's belief that they are worth listening to to make people listen to them, if people decided not to listen, they would be powerless.

 

[comboking]

No, I like the SBR but honestly they need to get some people who are good with Low tier and Mid tier characters and not just High tiers.

 

[Mr. Rogu]

i honestly cant see how meta knight did NOT get banned but you guys know you can still ban him if you ever host your own tournament, right?

 

['V']

No, I like the SBR but honestly they need to get some people who are good with Low tier and Mid tier characters and not just High tiers.

I'm pretty sure the SBR is just looking for good people in general. Tiers and characters they use should have little to no involvement in this kind of discussion.

 

[choknater]

I agree with Old Mocha. They just look for people with a general higher level of knowledge about smash.

 

[da K.I.D.]

Why would the SBR want somebody like clai (just as an example) when inui probably knows just as much about the character, and more aobut the game as a whole

 

[Spelt]

It sounds like you're saying people who play low tiers are less informed of the game in general... :/

 

['V']

It sounds like you're saying people who play low tiers are less informed of the game in general... :/

I'm pretty sure that isn't the case. I think he's just saying that the SBR is looking for people who have a great knowledge of the game that definitely stand out more than others. People who took a lot of time into literally studying every aspect of the game and being able to play well.

 

[Spelt]

I'm sure there are a lot of people who do that who play low tiers though too.
i'm not saying that the SBR is biased towards high tiers.
I'm just saying you're making it sounds like people who play high tiers are automatically better.

 

['V']

I mean.. Xyro's a good example for that. He uses Samus as his main and he's in there , but I'm sure he's put a lot of research into every aspect of the game in order to earn his spot. So I'm really just saying that you have to be really able to stand out over the great majority of the community in order to get in there.
