See the thing about the current counterpick system is that to use this combo people only have to learn how to use ICs on FD and nowhere else. No platforms, no shifting, just wide open space.Best combo is MK/IC
Someone CPs your MK to FD? K, you now have a near auto-win as IC on FD
-_-
I pocket MK/Brinstar'd a Lucario once. (Sonic loses to Luc hardcore)Dunno why don't people do it. Ally did it. Cheese does it. Pretty sure Hylian has his own thing going on with G&W - Rainbow Cruise and ICs. Atomsk does it sometimes? Honestly for as much as Americans parade playing to win you don't make very smart decisions about it.
edit: A lot more people do the pocket MK thing. It's the same principle, except easier and with less of a reward.
But if you use ICs and you ban FD, can't your opponent also ban FD? I've played sets where I and my opponent banned Brinstar, I figured thats how it worked.Since it was sorta ignored...
To the person that asked why we can't CP our bans...
Every set, ICs/Diddy/D3/Pikachu will ban FD
Every set, MK will ban Brinstar
Every set, G&W/Wario will ban RC
You see the problem?

yeah, i figured as muchnewest mk strat: ban brinstar so your opponent doesnt, then cp it.
damn, i never even thought of that
that would be ingenious
So if you and your opponent are going to ban it..why wouldn't you NOT ban it and ban somebody else's stage?But if you use ICs and you ban FD, can't your opponent also ban FD? I've played sets where I and my opponent banned Brinstar, I figured thats how it worked.
Umm, isn't that the point? If you ban a stage you're going to counter-pick and your opponent bans that stage, that makes your ban worthless.So if you and your opponent are going to ban it..why wouldn't you NOT ban it and ban somebody else's stage?
So yeah, regardless, you are wrong. If a person bans a stage it cannot be CP'd AT ALL.
No, it just means he has to fight off the ledge, which if he's only getting 7 or so ledge grabs, means that he already is fighting off the ledge, in which case, the ledge was never the problem.Bringing the LGL way down means he has to fight on the boat or he CANT time out.
Yes.Did M2K display the type of skill we want to test in those matches?
Or accept his gayness, all three of which are terrible options.So pretty much....you are saying that we should ban MK or limit his air time, both of which are terrible options.
I wish it didn't have to be this way.I'm sorry that the best character in the game is also the best at timing people out. It happens...increased timers won't help, decreased LGLs won't help, nothing any will help. So yeah, MK is gay, but we can't do anything about it.
I stopped reading here, left my chair, raged around my house for a couple of minutes, then angrily marched back.Twinkle,
Mid level players should aspire to do whatever they want, but they must understand that there are certain things they must overcome to reach their goal.are you saying THAT is what mid level players should be aspiring to?
Okay, please be clear when you say something like this, because the way it's written right now is really ambiguous and a pain to have to clarify over and over again.What happened to the BRC saying "lets make the game pretty for sponsors".
Using Bizkit vs. M2K as an example, M2K DID outplay Bizkit. He did it by picking MK on Rainbow Cruise, unlike Bizkit who made the decision in the character select screen to stick with Snake, which is obviously not a good idea.If you want to call THAT M2K "outplaying" someone.
To prevent excessive planking.If the ledge has nothing to do with super camping then why do we even have an LGL?
They both have their undesirable flaws though.Banning MK isn't a bad idea
Neither is accepting his gayness
Air time limit is though LMAO
